Anyways, Wintersun while great is not incredibly, incredibly amazing. Their debut album is excellent but some of the songs just get a little to long, if they were to do more songs like their first two songs on their debut album they would have it made.

John Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Fun soloing, but it's a good thing the video cut off before the inevitably lame vocals kicked in.

I never took offense to it, I was just warning you if you ever decided to post in a metal forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 You guys are all so ridiculous. It's music. How can it be given a 'bad name'? Wintersun is good. But they're not really that big of a deal. My guitar player, DJ, is 18 and can play that stuff. -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fail to see how, anything can give something a bad name if it has been done badly enough. Opinion or not, within in opinion there is fact and people miss that. Also what does it matter if someone can play the same music Wintersun creates? I think people tend to forget that music is not just about the way the song is played alone but the atmosphere that is created in the mean time. If these two factors can compliment each other then you have something amazing. Just being able to play the music does not mean that you will be able to give the same feelings as the original. I mean this for every band that plays music and covers songs obviously, especially for the professionals who play Classical music and try to emulate what Beethoven really wanted to hear, as an example artist.

There's no testicle-vice falsetto involved. Give it a shot). And I'll excuse the Dragonforce comment seeing as you probably don't know what was wrong with it. Anyway - yes, there will always be faster guitarists, more technical guitarists, etc etc... but you know what? Wintersun really does it for me. There is absolutely no denying that Jari has some seriously impressive chops, more so than a good portion of the metal out there. I admire his ability to play technically taxing material and still keep it full of feeling. It's a fine balance to achieve, and I think Wintersun pulls it off marvellously.

G/S/B Master Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Haha, I thought this forum only listens to ACDC and Radiohead. Nice to see another metal head. I'm looking forward to the new Wintersun album :D. It's great folk metal and everyone should give it a shot. The self-titled album is also good for playing World of Warcraft.

Boo Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 [size=1]That wasn't so great. Guitar solos aren't about making as much noise in one minute as possible. Whoever came up with that idea really has to be slapped.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very melodically concious solo, but it's hard to tell from the crappy video quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever came up with that idea really has to be slapped.[/size][/quote] [COLOR=DarkRed][FONT=Arial]That reminds me of a comment I believe one of Mozarts tutors made about his work, saying that he used too many notes. But seeing how I got to hear a bit of Wintersun's stuff at a mere mouse-click away rather than having someone jeer at me "listen to [band name here] their song [song name here] rocks!!" and then expect me to actually take the time and effort to listen to find and listen to about 6 of these, I actually feel like commenting. My first impression, was that it wasn't bad. It sounded good. Then suddenly about 10 seconds into it I feel like the blonde guitarist just seemed to lose the plot with the entire solo. If I wanted ego driven guitar solo's I'd go old school and listen to Black Sabbath, their solos actually made sense. I think the only real metal band I've managed to latch onto is In Flames, but if anyone is actually interested in knowing more you can PM me. YES I'M LAZY.
