M: bathory is fucking cool - one of the few bands (or artists, i suppose) that live up to the hype! 

Quorthon also fits right into the hot-when-he-was-young category ♥ 

Most bands that people bang on and on about just never live up to your expectations. You just can't see why everyone thinks they're SO FUCKING AWESOME, MAN!!! Whilst you can appreciate that they're not bad, you still can't really grasp how someone could think they're the best thing ever. It's happened a few times for me and I'm sure it's happened to everyone at some point.

Bathory however, is a different kettle of fish. People don't even bang on about the records so much - it's more that that fucking goat is plastered from wall to wall of the internet and maybe it doesn't bother anyone else, but I have to say it puts me right off. Forget about that though, because Bathory's legacy should be so much more than that goat.
