    R.I.P. Chuck Schuldiner, May 13, 1967 – December 13, 2001

    Metal truly lost something special when Chuck died.

    We have the thread where you tell us what you got, and the thread where you tell us what you’re really liking, but this thread is for first impressions. So give us your initial evaluation of albums you are hearing for the first time, or if you're like me, albums that you have had for a while...

    I want to ride my bicycle...

    So, this is the biking thread. Anyone do any biking? BMX? MTB? Road Biking? I have always just loved riding. Never raced, but back in the 70's and 80's I rode a BMX bike constantly, and even got pretty rad at dirt jumping and some street (freestyle). Not like on the X-Games and stuff, but...

    Classic Heavy Metal

    I often wonder where to talk about certain bands that don't seem to fall into any existing discussion categories. So I am proposing this thread for the discussion of bands that are just straight up Heavy Metal. EDIT: Also, I want to clarify that, to me, Heavy Metal does not include bands that...

    Who is going to church for an Easter service?

    Tell the truth. I am, but that probably doesn't surprise anyone. The church I attend typically rents out the local "Community Center", which is Tucson's single largest event arena. I saw Metallica and Ozzy there in the 80's. Each year the church rents the place and puts on a huge service with...

    Monster Magnet?

    I think they had a song on the radio in the 90's. I always just assumed they were just whatever. But I keep seeing them mentioned in reference to Stoner/Doom whatever. So, are they worthy?

    SwapaCD.com

    Is anyone a member of this site? It is replacing LaLa.com as the best CD trading site online. It has better options for CD collectors, especially for those who want to receive all artwork for the CDs they receive. I would say there is about an average of 1000 CDs added each day. Of course only a...

    Blockbastard.com (or, Talk about your online rental service)

    So I've been with Blockbuster.com for a while now. When I joined I think we got to have 3 movies out at a time with unlimited in-store exchanges, and once the local store scanned in your movie as "received at store", they would send another one like the next day. Well, first they started...

    Noise

    Anyone into noise? I have little experience in the genre, but I have been checking some out because I got this big box of CDs for $20 and it has some noise artists in it. I listened to a 3 track, 74 minute CD from Lull (a Mick Harris brand) called Journey Through Underworlds and I enjoyed it...

    Later Metal Church any good?

    I am wondering specifically about Masterpeace, but generally about all of their later stuff. I love the self titled and The Dark. I don't see what is great about The Human Factor and I have not really heard anything else.

    Digital TV Switch over

    We don't have cable. Man, I just picked up one of those Digital to Analog converter boxes and hooked it up with the same crappy antenna I had before and WOW! All of the channels I get are perfect. No more watching 24 through the snow. WooHoo! AW CRAP! Sorry mods, please move this.

    Force of Evil (Mercyful Fate related)

    Anyone have an opinion of the band Force of Evil? They have a lot of musician connections with Mercyful Fate, and I guess I want to know if they at all have any of that Fate musical magik.

    What Makes People Vote Republican? By Jonathan Haidt

    Somehow I came across this very interesting article. I disagree with some of this guy's basic assumptions, but what he says brings out some interesting ideas. http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/haidt08/haidt08_index.html WHAT MAKES PEOPLE VOTE REPUBLICAN? By Jonathan Haidt What makes people...

    Tad Morose

    I recently got Matters of the Dark. I started listening to it and it is not what I expected. Not sure where I got my expectations from, but I was expecting a darker and heavier, and possibly more doomy brand of metal. It seems like pretty standard power metal/heavy metal. Am I missing something?
