Ambient music will only benefit from being played live. As that ambience will be much louder and richer around you.
But what if the ambience is all about sleepyness, lonelyness. How could you feel alone in the middle of a crowd?
And Funki Porcini's album I was talkin about is named Fast Asleep and all the sounds and noises are here to remind you of a sleepy and smooth ambience.

You know where the fear of the unknown comes from? The fear of death. Whether you realize it or not, you instinctively associate the unknown with death.
It's true. When I hear a sound downstairs or something I don't think 'Ooh that sounds like it could be lots of money and chocolate and pretty wimmins masturbating'. I think 'Shit, that could be someone with a knife'.
I don't fear the unknown, I fear that the unknown may result in me dying.
I really doubt you set up your mind like this. You don't actually think that much when you are scared. Words do not come up in your mind like this "Omg I could die!"
Or imagine this. You enter a room in your house that you just left minutes ago. When you come back you expect your girlfriend to be right there waiting for you. But what if she isn't? Then you'll start trying to find you and eventualy you would tell yourself that she's probably playing a trick on you. While looking for her, you would still feel a little uncomfortable, cause you know she's hidding somewhere, ready to scare the shit out of you. You are not scared of death, you are scared of the Unknown.
Ok, maybe your girlfriend isn't that scary, but modify my exemple to fit your own experience. You know what I mean :P

Yes, but that's irrelevant, because pain and death aren't mutually exclusive.
Not completely exclusive, but you have to admit that you felt pain more often than you died... lulz...
You do not feel pain only when you are in a life-threatening situation.
Finaly, you could easily find writtings about horrible life experiences that some people have been through and in which, death actually was or would have a been a relied compared to the horrible things they went through. In a book I just read about Rwanda, there was this specifid scene during which a woman saw her husband getting killed right in front of her. She asked the militias to kill her right away, because she didn't want to go through all the other shits she knew she would have to go through.

Avenged Sevenfold are metal.
Metalcore actually... and way more on the COOOOORE side than on the metal side...

New bands I started listening to in the past week:
Dark Tranquillity
I think they have recorded a few of the best melodic death metal tracks ever written. They fucking kickass.
Btw, I have listenned to some of my high-school years albums and I found myself thinking that In Flames albums, Colony and Clayman were actually pretty good.
The Black Dahlia Murder (I know, I'm late on this one)
You are late and going to be hated for this. As far as I'm concerned, I'd say they really aren't that great. They sound a little too generic for my tastes, but really aren't as bad as the other guys says.
Btw guys, I'm going to go to University next semester and I was planning to join the Uni's radio and make a brand new metal show :)
But to make that kind of show I'd need to know a little more about three specific genres
Stoner and Doom.... and em... that Drone thing? what is it exactly? Thanks guys :)
