you clearly think that a vocalist is the "core" of the band. that only shows how shallow your understanding of music is.
Quote directly where I've written that vocalist is the 'core', cause now you show how you read other ppl opinions.
have you heard the new sep drummer? that dude can belt it. he's a lot better than igor imo.
No I didn't, and honestly? I don't care.
and if you bothered enough to listen to the new sep albums, they have a revived punk rock influence, guiar riffs to vocals to everything.
Dante XXI wasn't THAT boring, but for fucks sake It's not 'Sepultura'. The same thing was when Roger Waters left 'Pink Floyd' and Gilmour still wanted to make music under that name. Same thing with Ray Manzarek that didn't agree to Krieger and Densmore still play music under 'The Doors' name after Morrisons death. Read it again: Kick Steph and Chino out of Deftones - bring Stapp and Kroeger, and still try to call them 'Deftones'. When I hear Sepultura I see Max, Igor, Paolo and Andreas - not less, not more, nobody else. And I'm not surprised that Max afrer leaving the band was at state of war with Igor and the rest for still using the name Sep.
ps. And Max was the core not because he was the main vocalist, but because he created that band. It was his and Igor's child from the very beginning. From 84'. But you probably don't remeber it.
