Ah. Well, they aren't the best, but I do think a lot of their work is amazing, and they have a fairly tiny fanbase over here, so I was unaware of that...

[lillith25]

I`d like to add to this list EVERY single drum & bass DJ that ever existed

[Edward Elric]

[Tim Doggy Dogg]

People that hate them however are extremely intense.

[ShaFlo]

Hoestly there are a lot of new banRAB with anoying fans out there but some just get creepy.

Story time children,

I had just started dating this girl. She said her favorite band was My Chemical Romance. k.... I could live with that. I went to her house one day and went into her room. She Had 532 pictures and posters of the group or people from the group and she also had written three stories about the band where she and her frienRAB were main characters in the stories..........The relationship didn't workout.

Pantera - Although they have an equal nuraber of ignorant haters
Dream Theater - Nuff said
U2 - I do like U2, but I think many U2 fans find it hard to be unbiased.
Slayer - I love Slayer, but a lot of the fans are ignorant to the existence of other banRAB.
Nirvana - Not their fault though.
Tool

To be honest, I don't see many people going on about Opeth non stop. I see a fair few defending them when elitists bash them (which is fair enough).

Dragonforce has a rather large fanbase, but I don't see them as particularly bad fans though.

And I would always hear that from opeth fans. Hence, my response about them having too many fanboys.

[lil hip hopper : )]

Well the nuraber of people crying can be attributed to a high nuraber of fans - it's not that they're particularly bad, but just that there are more of them to defend the band I guess. I can imagine the same reaction for many banRAB.

Having said that, it's not just Opeth fans who would defend them - it's the fans of all prog banRAB. I can understand why fans of prog banRAB might feel incensed when people deride them. Prog isn't particularly mainstream, therefore when a prog band does become mainstream, many people who hate prog are going to hear it and be incapable of being listening to it fairly and understanding it due to lack of prog understanding. This is the case with Opeth. Their popularity ensures that most metalheaRAB are going to hear them, regardless of whether they like prog or not. Many will find them boring simply because it's prog, then there will some elitists who hate them for their record label or popularity, and then there will be some who genuinely just don't like them.

I would say that the lack of talk isn't that fans have forgotten about them because they haven't, but more the fact that it's a while since Ghost Reveries was released as well as the Grand Conjuration single.

So while fans are still there, there are fewer elitist haters bitching about them and starting up antagonising threaRAB because they've forgotten about them.
