I'm wondering if anyone here knows a good prepaid phone card or long distance plan for calling from the U.S. to Germany. Since I'm on a slow connection and don't often voice-chat, it would be easier to call someone on the phone, but I wouldn't want to sell my soul just to pay the price. So...

These are great singing tips! Another one I have for diaphragm help that I've read and heard and received a lot is to train your breathing by lying flat on your back. They say babies breathe perfectly because everything's straightened out and in the right position. What I'd like to ask here...

1. Blind Guardian - The Curse of Fëanor 2. Demons & Wizards - My Last Sunrise (actually the whole trilogy at the end) 3. Iced Earth - Dante's Inferno 4. Iron Maiden - The Duellists 5. Black Sabbath - War Pigs/Luke's Wall 6. Metallica - Master of Puppets 7. Warlock - I Rule the Ruins 8...

Good metal from all sub-genres must have depth, fluidness, consistancy, balance between all the instruments, vocals, and other effects, emotion in every note, even if it's some discordinant Grindcore song or something. There are some bands out there that mix their albums with something coming...

I posted this on another metal forum and someone had told me about the Magic and Might game. I had forgotten about it and was trying to think of the best title that would suit something about spells and strength as "Spells and Strength" kinda sucked. BTW, I don't do long-distance relationships...

What about her vocals? I plan to sing it and have a real band back it up, but for now it's my voice and a MIDI synth

I like Nickelback, Fuel, Shinedown, Disturbed, and Sevendust. I just can't stand the radio shit that's out there that sounds like it's all the same. Once it started being overrun with Slipknot, Taproot, Mudvayne, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Papa Roach, etc. I stopped listening to regular radio...

I'm a beginner when it comes to lyrics/poetry. This was my first shot at an actual metal song, breaking away from my usual folk rock acoustic stuff. I figure as I try and write more, I'll get better at it.

She heard his spell-song in a dream Setting her heart for him there The white moon rose, casting down its beams To match her beauty so fair The elf-maid rode for the Dark Wood next morn His golden light flickered through the trees She could not reach him, her spirit forlorn Not knowing...

I've heard Yamaha sucks and I've seen a lot of Casio keyboards out there. There's also Kurzweil and Korg. So... what in your opinion is the best keyboard that can be used at home, on stage, and plugged into the computer to make MIDI files? Any good recommendations for someone on a tight budget?

Blind Guardian is my favorite, but I'm getting into Nocturnal Rites, I like their sound.

I'm one of those musicians who not only listens to many different styles, but fuses different styles together in my playing or singing. I suck at guitar, so I tend to do more hippified chord strumming, almost folk-like with some brooding dark themes and powerfully sung vocals. Best Metal...

If Queens of the Stone Age rocked a little harder, they could pass for some form of metal. I haven't heard Kyuss, but judging from the driving rhythm section on QotSA's Songs for the Deaf, if you hardened up the vox, it would be metal-ish. All Punk bands have a tendency toward Metal because...

I don't even know why they hire blonds in record stores that have good metal in their catalogs. My ex went to check and see if they had Blind Guardian's early stuff in their catalog and this ditz behind the counter goes "Oh, let's see here, we have... erm... Battle Eons of Fear" and the manager...

I'll trade blank CD-R type versions of these bootlegs for ones with actual cover artwork: Lucifer's Heritage - Symphonies of Doom (Demo) Lucifer's Heritage - Battalions of Fear (Demo) Demons & Wizards - German Crusade (Live in Ballingen)
