You mean, no matter what kind of sh*t your favourite band will put on record, you'll just accept an appreciateit, because your so "die-hard cult following" them?

Not what i meant. I've been sorely disapointed by bands i worshipped (Kiss or Metallica for instance) and stopped buying their records. Untill better days maybe. And for the personality part, what i meant was that people who listen to any kind of music and people who dig one kind of music are mostly unable to speak with one another (about music of course). The first ones think the second fanatics and narrow-minded, and the second ones think the first have no musical personality or real involvment.
So when you jump from this week popular band to the next (or this month' or this year's popular band, whatever) of course you think manowar are cliché and ridiculous. But if you are intrested in more than music (attitude, live show, refining an old concept over and over) wether at first or second degree, Manowar are unique ! And they have not changed their attitude or musical direction in 20 years. Just like they always claimed. And AC/DC excepted, they probably are one of the only bands who said they would keep their musical integrity no matter what, and who did. This alone should commend respect. :Titan:
Wolverine DK : I love northern mythology (got hooked by the Thor comic books as a teen), but i'm afraid i won't follow your advice about reading about it. It's just that my job consists in reading books so i don't read much on my spare time. But thanx, and see you in Valhalla for sharing ales and tales.
