  1. That sounds like an episode of "Pimp my Firearm"!
  2. Yup. Perhaps one way that the internet has hurt bands like Megadeth is that now you can preview the album before buying it. This helps small bands with great albums but hurts big ones with bad albums because instead of going "Oh, must get the new Megadeth album, hope it's good" we go "Hm, better check it out first, the last one wasn't great, and ooh look at that cool little band over there, I think I'll get that instead".
  3. I personally like Machine Head's Sentinel better than Priests. I find the playing of the arpeggio riff thing smoother and with more urgency.
  4. I used to have all their albums but they didn't really get me going so I gave all but Sounding the Seventh Trumpet to my brother.
  5. Yeah, Slipknot is pretty awesome. Do you like Trivium, Spooks?
  6. Well, maybe, but I reckon the economic conditions and the fact that nobody seems to be saying that Thirteen was smoking good can have helped.
  7. Has anyone heard Super Collider yet? Nuts gave it three stars so I'm not expecting a whole bunch from it.
  8. Only inasmuch as Wishmaster is like Oceanbourne. It is similar but far more Symphonic, with a greater ranger of instruments. Also, the tone is different, there is little to none of DPP's mental torment and is instead an album of darkest whimsy.
  9. Not metal but awesome: Sava - Metamorphosis Corvus Corax - Cantus Buranus II - seriously, check this one out if you are a Symphonic Metal fan, you will go crazy for it!
  10. No prob spooks, so do I ! Well, the new albums sounds not so great but all the other stuff is cool.
  11. Hey guys, I just wanted to say that I won't be on the forum for about the next four weeks as I have a lot of exam revision to get through. Keep it metal !
  12. Rating: The Eurovision Song Contest. It is at it's most metal this year as Tony Iomi wrote one of the songs. It's not terribly good. Slating: Bulgaria didn't make the final. Ah well.
  13. I like sport, especially the olympics, but I agree that it does occupy a ridiculously over-exulted place in society. I mean, it seems that for some people every weekend produces several must-win battles. And anyway, the world doesn't end if they loose.
  14. I've been trying to work out what hipsters are and it seems pretty odd to me. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but surely only liking things which are non-mainstream is a different side of the same trend-following coin. They are still not thinking for themselves, which is what they are supposed to prize. Thinking for youself mean just that and should be as seperated as possible from anybody else's opinions, otherwise you are actually just being dictated to be the masses - and looking kinda dumb at the same time. It seems that a lot of people talk a lot of rot about thinking for themselves but are really just looking for a different heard of sheep to follow.
  15. No, he doesn't. I don't think that albums are his fault either. Maybe his voice isn't hand in glove with the band but some of the material on those albums is just plain squiffy and you can't blame the vocals.
