Who the fuck cares about this band?

For you Radagast. I hope I met your expectations.

I like Firewind somewhat. I love Gus G's playing, he is an awesome guitarist, whether or not his influences show up to much and make it seem like he is unoriginal (like many Gus G hatas will say) it doesn't matter to me, he holds my attention and makes me wanna bang my head, but I have to say, I've never much liked the vocals for any of the albums, they were good IMO but nothing special, just kinda there. They should get Daniel Heiman, mmm, that'd be a tasty combination.

I really like Firewind. Their debut album took me by suprise and since i've purchased it and their 2nd, Burning Earth, which is just as good. I'm yet to purchase their 3rd, but have heard 2-3 tracks. It is a shame to lose two very good vocalists.....the band deserves a break

Yes, Chity Somapala has left Firewind. I was gutted when the brilliant Stephen Fredrick quit, but I was surprised at how well Chity seemed to fit with the band (both on Forged by Fire album and the Burning Earth tour bootleg).

Here's hoping Gus G finds another singer good enough to pick up the mantle.

(Now I patiently wait for the "who cares about Firewind" tirade to start :roll: )

Yer jist a bawbag, Hell Patrol. Away listen to Morrissey you mincing queer.

What, you're expecting a cute little emoticon or something?

I beg to differ, Hell Patrol. For someone like Gus G, to be the fantastic guitarist he is at such a young age is unbelievable. Overrated? Hell no. Gus was in 4 different bands at one stage, which just shows how sort after he is and shows his dedication to the metal scene.
He has been given praise world-wide from such guitar heroes as Steve Vai, Malmsteen & Mr. Axel Rudi Pell

The only band of his I like is Nightrage.

did you try the other 3?

I tried Dream Evil and Firewind. I own Evilized, and Burning Earth. So no I haven't tried all of them.

I probably should try Mystic Prophecy too before I say I don't like it huh? Is Mystic Prophecy any good? If they sound like Dream Evil or Firewind, then I probablly will not check them out.

Dude, try Book of Heavy Metal by Dream Evil, to me it was one of the best albums of 2004, Evilized was decent but nothing special. Burning Earth is not nearly as good as Between Heaven and Hell. And no Mystic Prophecy sounds nothing like those 2, it sounds Valley's Eve (same singer and bassist I think)
