as shallow as it sounds...that is the exact reason. The fans are horrible, they feel the need to defend everything the band does and put down anything that makes sence. If Dream Theater releases a shitty song, we will all call it shitty, not the fans of these bands, they feel a need to defend EVERYTHING the band does, and it is annoying being around it. Dream Theater walks out onto the stage everyday in jeans and t shirsts, no make up, no tight leather pants, no fancy shit, natural. Maybe because you are not 14, you dont get where I'm coming from, but in a world of shit music, you gotta defend whats yours.
ps. Maybe you will understand my hate...anybody here hate the Jonas Brothers on principal, its the same thing
