Ah, ok so nostalgia for you too, eh?
Hypocrisy *is* nice btw, the guy with the funny name
was right about that.
And when bands get really big it's not so much arrogance that makes them appear so aloof, it's usually just that they get a lot of attention from fans, and I can imagine they want to get away from that sometimes. What irks me more about these people is the whole "I'm such a badassed god of darkness"-attitude - that really put me off the genre alltogether. A lot of fans/musicians are VERY concerned with how they appear to others...
