Is it really necessary to have these giant adverts for Rhapsody of Fire and Symphony X at the top, they're taking up half the page and are rather annoying. I dont mind bands advertising on the site (beats insurance adverts at least) but this is getting a bit intrusive.

Exactly what I was thinking. They completely dominate the site. I sent a friend here earlier and the first thing he said was 'What's up with the massive adverts?'. Not the greatest addition... -------------
