Hi! I was wondering, do you have any alternative version of a song- like a live recording, re-recording, new vocalist, or w/e. I guess demo versions also fit even though they most of the time predate the official release- that you like more than the orignal version? I have to think about it...

So, what's your favorite song/album titles? Do you like short striking ones like "Tormentor" or longer more describing sentences? Should they be over the top or serious and maybe abit pretentious? What sub genre has the best ones? Do you (or have done) check out albums or songs because of the...

Hi! As quite a few of you know I'm a big fan of "epic" qualities in my music, which I associate with among other things world building, escapism and feelings of grandeur. This is alot of what I'm looking for when listening to metal. "Epic" isn't a definite style and can vary very much from band...

Heil guyz, Obviously inspired by the thread about which EPs you would have liked as albums. This is the opposite, which albums do you think have good material but suffers from way too much filler and could have been good/great/perfect if you shaved some songs off it? Bonus question for those...

One funny thing when listening to Epicus Doomicus Metallicus for me as a swede is that one riff in Black Stone Wielder is right out of a famous swedish christmas song, Gläns över sjö och strand. This made me wonder what other metal songs borrow riffs or melodies from famous songs. I'm not...

Hi! I'm in the mood for some melodic death metal, but it has to have some specific characteristics! It should be quite melodic (duh) in the sense that it is more important with beutiful leads rather than catchy riffs, and I want to be overloaded with acoustic passages, clean vocals, both male...

So, anyone who has any clue about hifi stuff? My amp to my stereo has given up and I'm in need of a new one and wondering what to buy. I'm considering either a NAD C326BEE or a Marantz PM6006 but I don't really know what to think. Is there any other good alternative in similar price range to...

Hay guys, What are some of your favorite parts in songs? And now I'm talking about specific parts, you know that part where you while listening to the song really just wait in anticipation for that part! The song as a whole can be great but it has to have one special part that stands out. And...

Obviously inspired by the thread about thrash singers but as I don't really care for thrash I thought I'd start another thread. So who's your favorite power metal singer? Both euro and uspm is fine, high pitched or mid/low pitched?

Hay! Well, I thought it was time to do some album survivor games again and Awaken the Guardian is an awsome place to start. The rules are: pick the two weakest songs on the album which you think should be voted out. When the polls are closed (I put the clock on 3 days now, well see if we need...

I (admittedly pretty lazely) searched, and didn't find any but If there already is a thread like this feel free to lock this, otherwise: There are lots of cool and obscure old (and newer) live clips from bands on youtube and I thought a thread were we can post and showcase them would be great...

Hi all! Anyone else into comic books? I'm a big nerd myself and read way too much (when I had the time atleast, not as much nowdays). Mostly into the franco-belgian scene nowdays (Blueberry has to be the most beautiful series ever), but alot of american stuff is also great even though I've...

So I've been listening to lots of Saint Vitus lately and I'm bored and wondering which album you people like the most? My favorite is Die Healing, I think it is maybe their heaviest and most depressive album. Reagers is awsome on it. On the other hand I think V is maybe the most overrated. I...
