    I think calling a Finnish person Scandinavian is like saying we live in the British Isles. Anyway, beside the point much. Trivium are cack.

    I wish I could convince my mainstream metalhead friends that Trivium really are crap, but they won't listen and just waffle on about how the guitar solos are so technical or something and that they're the most talented music around today...

    How can I convince them otherwise?

    Don't worry, they'll figure out eventually.

    Or just get them to stop talking about how "great" the solos are and listen to the ****ing CD. That should make them realise they're ****.

    Devious, its tough not to forget that. I remember I showed my friends that one day, quite a few tears were shed. Yeah, Trivium suck for the best part, it'll be interesting to see this "melodic thrah metal" done live

    The problem is, the solos are actually good. :( I've learned some, just because they in themselves are cool.

    The solos do sound good actually. I remember the first time i heard them, i was watching tv one night and i switched over to scuzz. I caught the beginning of the solos in Like Light To The Flies, or whatever. And me being a big Maiden saddo thought it was pretty awesome, then Matt Heafy went and opened his mouth and i thought "Ah ****" and changed the channel straight away.

    musically I have nowt against Trivium - they are by no means the worst band (musically) out there. But Heafy's vocals (if you can call them that) - just make me cringe at the best of the times, and the worst of times, I just want to cut my ears off
