I liked Avenged Sevenfold. I think I found out about it on Wikipedia rather than from a person. It reminds me of Blind Guardian. I like Blind Guardian more though. I think I will get the rest of their stuff before exploring avenged Sevenfold more. I don't like the screaming bits which seem to make up the bulk of metal

Technically, when you say a band is "Indy" it means that they are part of an independant record label. Thus it has nothing to do with how it sounds, simply who produces it.

while that may be the "real" definition, it doesn't seem to be the "wrong" definition that is the one most people(people who don't know what they're talking about but are the majority) mean. I could be wrong though.

I know you probably don't care, but I object on principle anyway to the idea "true love should be regardless of how you are treated, you should love someone regardless to how the object of your affections feels about you." In fact I feel the exact opposite... I only really fall for someone once I realize or suspect that she's somewhat interested in me, in addition to whatever I find attractive in her. That's half or more of the turn-on for me. (which is probably why I have such little success, but still.) So I wouldn't worry so much about having incomplete love abilities or whatever.

I disagree. Or rather I think from a different angle and there may be no real disagreement. I'm not talking about what you need to feel love, I'm trying say what love truely is. Love is supposed to be unconditional right? If it's love nothing they do or feel will change it because love is unconditional. All I can feel is a conditional love-like emotion which seems a selfish step down from "pure" love.

I guess I'm saying that the idea that love is supposed to be utterly unconditional isn't really true... it seems to me that all *most people* can feel is conditional love, not just you. Sometimes ideals and supposed-to-bes just aren't how it really is. Or I'm just completely misunderstanding how people are, which also could very well be.
