  2. Which Rock Bands Do People Like?

    in Other Music Talk

    Posted

    Re: Which Rock Bands Do People Like? While I rarely listen to them, bands such as Thin Lizzy (Out in the Fields is just awesome), Mike Patton and any of his side projects, or (though I listen to this fairly frequesntly) Les Claypool or any of his side projects are boss. (Yes, I'm aware that some people consider FNM or Primus metal. While I like em quite a lot, I personally would classify them as rock, hence my post here.)

  4. Best lines

    in Lyrical Discussion

    Re: Best lines A song that always sends chills up mah spine is Dracula, by Iced Earth. Can't really pick what does it for me so I'll just copy and paste the lyrics here. [spoiler:1yrsk9od]

    Do you believe in love? Do you believe in destiny? True love may come only once in a thousand lifetimes... I too have loved...they took her from me, I prayed for her soul....I prayed for her peace When I close my eyes I see her face, it comforts me When I close my eyes Memories cut like a knife The blood is the life, and Christ I defy. My sworn enemy...birth of a new creed. Is this my reward for serving God's own war? The blood I've spilled for faith fulfilled. To damn her, a disgrace, you spit back in my face. I served you loyally, and you spew blasphemy. I avenge with darkness, for blood is the life The Order of the Dragon, I feed on human life There are far worse things awaiting man than death Come taste what I have seen I'm spreading my disease I will feed upon His precious child The human race will bleed, they will serve my need. (Pre-chorus) I avenge with darkness, for blood is the life The Order of the Dragon, I feed on human life (Chorus) I am the Dragon of blood, a relentless prince of pain Renouncing God on His throne My blood is forever stained For true love I shall avenge, I defy the creed that damned her.
    [/spoiler:1yrsk9od] edit - alternatively, the lyrics to an epic 6 or so part song written by a band near me. Quite interesting. [spoiler:1yrsk9od]
    II - "Returned to Earth" The distance grows. I walked in the room with a raincoat and mangled smile. I approached the winged woman, taking her into my eyes. My eyes are beds tonight. She is the vultress. She's a master at the game. I follow her every move, calling it frame by frame. Who says that everything is made from gold instead of sand? Who says that worth will not return to earth by my cold hands? I will walk her to the edge, returning her to sea. The rain falls like hell tonight, a downward assault on this barren earth. Walking around to her side of the car, I open the door and let her out. We walked down, hand-in-hand, to the edge of the cliff where our fathers died. Colder still, the sun is far gone as I push her down into the depths of my eyes. My eyes are beds tonight, I cry, "I'm blind! I'm blind!" My eyes are beds tonight, and she lies upon the coastline. By the grace I feel tonight, I'm taking her home. A suicide manifold, she does only what she is told. I drop her at the mansion gates. The distance grows, she walks away. Giving back to Caesar what is Caesar's... I walk in the car with the weight of this world off my shoulders, turn the key and drive away, and the estate has nothing to say. The sun comes out again and evaporates the rain with my eyes in the rear-view mirror. Who says that everything is made from gold instead of sand? Who says that worth will not return to earth by my cold hands? I drive off in the light of the day, and the estate has nothing to say. The distance grows. III - "The Path" You are not the man of the house. I will reverse our dilemma and rescue your spouse. Lock your doors, boy, let's see how you squirm. My army is waiting outside just to see if you've learned. When she called on to me, I could feel like a hero. Is that nothing? ...or does it make your tiny head spin? And you think you're charming, I'm sure-- the heart you discard and the hate that you long to procure. Performed with effeminate class, the difference between fact and fiction is kicking your ass. When she called on to me and she told me what you did-- ..are you stupid? Come out, we'll test your wit. I will break the chain you made. I will shout to make my claim. I will not surrender to your coward's game. The path remains the same. You carry your weapons so high, but when I arrived you retracted and aimed at the sky. Hoping that passive aggression would land in my skull, that's a lasting impression. When she called on to me and she told me what you are-- ...you went too far. Come out boy, this means war. I will break the chain you made. I will shout to make my claim. I will not surrender to your coward's game. The path remains the same. There is strength in numbers when the numbers' on your side. I am not surprised because I knew you'd run and hide. Contemplate the distance you create. Let's make a deal. I can see the difference between what you fake and feel. Interlude - "The Siren Song" If the thought heard 'round the world through Caesar's heart should fly, would he pick himself back up again or please us all and die? The end is of no consequence, the Vultress lives on. Now stop, young man, direct your ears. Now hear, young man, the siren song. Sleep sweet, sleep sweet. Here in your arms I'll always sleep sweet. You know I love you still. Sleep sweet, sleep sweet. Wait until waking hours peek through the sheets. You know I love you still. Your shoulderblades are perfect for my woes to rest upon. They're linked to perfect arms for all my foes to fear to cross. Oh, countess, keep me strong! Keep me asleep, in dreams I'm strong. My troubles will erupt at dawn, till then I sleep, sleep hard and long. IV - "Reinvocation" I tell a tale of a funny mirror with a perfect frame around it. The mirror fell out of the sky, in a boy's back-yard it grounded. That morning he approached the glass, but in his face's place Like a stow-away in fresh-cut grass lay Mary, full of grace. The priestess opened up her eyes to meet the prince's gaze. She whispered, "Will my looks suffice? Do they compromise? Amaze?" He answered, "If they compromise me, do them what they please. I wish to be forsaken, goddess. Take me on my knees." He didn't know what lay behind the glass. The distorted reflection that gave him attention he craved. The curves in the mirror that skewed all the hues he had seen in the past. You never know what sort of wonders can lie in your face. An overwhelming feeling made him quiver to the core. His outstretched hand met only glass; his heart sunk to the floor. She fogged the paine with liar's breath and wrote with dainty thumb, "I go to see the opera every night, love. You should come." --- Reinvocation of a harlot soul, the iridescent stream carries fruition. Would you agree...(would I ever!)...to being permanently pushed along the path to perdition? If the shot felt 'round the world, through the young man's heart should fly, would he then forget himself and let himself die? Does this conflict of interests concern us all? Do you change to bridge the distance, change to break your fall? I am asleep, I will not wake up! These dreams are merging now with waking hours. I've had enough. When the time to make definitive desicions is at hand, would the prepubate participate and make himself a man? Does the weight of the debacle add to shackles we accept? The gullible is malleable, the skeptic is inept. With a smile she disappeared as quickly as she came. It would not be the last time she would vanish, all the same. An empty seat remained unsat when all the lights went down. The overture begins and night gives way to sightless sound. When we learn to face ourselves, we live to oppose. The stage faces the audience, and as anybody knows, the clearest view is granted to the boy who fronts the crowd. Which side you're on is hard to tell when the music gets too loud. V - "The Siren Screams" The overture is over and the angel takes the stage. She belts an aria with fairy-dust and turns to walk away. The men in the crowd are standing now, clamouring for more. But the boy sitting in the front row swears he's seen her before. A shot rings out in the auditorium. It echoed off the atrium and through the baroness' lung. The man in the front row leaps on the stage to save her soul. A staged attack, it fades to black, bringing out the opera in us all. The ambulance arrives in time at the scene of the crime. The audience cheers as the young boy's fears all come to life. The monster with the rifle in the balcony makes his getaway. The boy with the angel in his arms swears to make the devil pay. A shot rings out in the auditorium. It echoed off the atrium and through the baroness' lung. The man in the front row leaps on the stage to save her soul. A staged attack, it fades to black, bringing out the opera in us all. Bring out your dead! The siren screams a metronome. For the actress' head, you know that it has to be so. --- The eyes of the beast are gripping at first, but then they release. He's under the gun and under attack, there's no going back. (The power of good will compel you.) The devil's ears can make out your mood, discover your fears. You're under the gun, it's aimed at your heart, your story is done. (The power of good will compel you.) "I will divide you. I will destroy you. I will make you feel numb. Do you feel numb?"

  15. Anyone Interested?

    Re: Anyone Interested? Certainly can't hurt, can it? Worst you'll get is some irritating tit saying "u suk lol" and not giving any useful feedback, but you're into metal so I highly doubt you're the sort of person who'd cry in a corner because of a lil' hate. ;)

  16. Alphabetic order?

    Posted

    Re: Alphabetic order? If I'm not mistaken, it should be possible to code in something where if you click the title of a section it'll sort alphabetically, if you click the "topics" heading it'll sort by that, and so on. I dunno how feasible it'd be to code though, so I'll wait for an admin or someones' input.

    Re: Helloooo Heya man, don't worry bout not being a "true metalhead"! Personally, particularly if you're into prog, I think that having interest in a wide variety of genres of music is good. Expands your horizons and all that :)

  24. The (un)Fashion Thread

    Re: CLOTHES I usually wear shorts and flip flops during the summer, not much else. If I have to appear civilized, I'll throw on a shirt from my countless Cross Country meets that I used to run. I generally don't get band shirts though, since they're not free. Though I do have a Night of the Stormrider shirt to go with my signed Night of the Stormrider CD. :) During winter, I'm more practical. I have 436534534532453457657 long sleeved plaid shirts that I can throw on over my regular T-shirt and a suitjacket that's nice and roomy that I can sleep in.
