    Lineup News

    Also wanted to add that a track like Prisoner of Mind really shows an incredible range and I'd like to hear more of that explored, it feels like it really mixes all the carcass, opeth, d.townsend and everything else into something new. It kicks ass. And that kind of openness on the latter half...

    Lineup News

    As someone who still thinks that "Pride" is one of the coolest songs he's heard, I'm excited about the line-up announcement, even if the music has taken a different direction. Though I think bringing back a little more of that sound would make it sound more original and less soilwork-ish :p

    Would - Alice in chains cover

    Listen to "Love, Hate, Love" especially from the middle to the ending and tell me he's not a great singer. Few even have the pipes to nail what he does here.

    Discussing leaks

    In 99'-2000 I downloaded Black Rose Immortal, Bleak, To Bid You Farewell, and White Cluster after reading an album review on Ultimatemetal.com I believe. So, after illegally downloading those 4 songs I have since bought: Orchid cd Morningrise cd MAYH cd Still Life cd Blackwater park cd...

    Ghost Reveries appreciation thread *FUCKING DOT*

    I would agree with most of what you said here. And me not liking the album as much as BWP, Still Life, and MAYH is not so much about expectations. It's simply a matter of taste and what moves me. GR has a lot of great parts to it, but if a song doesn't move me, then it doesn't. So many of...

    Did you like "Porcelain Heart" video?

    Nice imagery, cool setting, Mikael and the boys rocking out in a castle, gothic chicks dancing around and engaging in some foreplay and someone being choked to death by a madman... Oh yeah, there's so much to complain about here. :rolleyes: They still make great music, so what's the harm in...

    I've got a problem...

    It's unnatural to write things like "scary as heck"... unless you don't have pubes yet. If that's the case, then we await the day you decide to get off mommy's teet and experience the world, without worry of shame, embarrassment, or the potential abnormality of something as harmlessly...

    How did you discover BACKMASK?

    Megadeth Forums... back in the days of "hall of broken mirrors" and "genie in a bottle" covers, lol. Oh and "Feed the Enemy" was a really awesome song; I hope that comes out again someday. Keep rockin.

    Anyone into Testament and Arch enemy should check this out

    You guys probably already sent em' out, but some of the misspellings and things need to be fixed. It should read... unparalled not... Unparralelled And the phrase is "mutually assured destruction" Saying "mutual assured" doesn't make any sense; that'd be like me saying "Practices make...

    An incident which happened at college yesterday

    The valor you profess about taking a punch is negated by the fact that you purposely sought out the physical confrontation. Trying your best to bring about a conflict and then taking the punishment for your actions doesn't make you a real man... but it might be a clear indicator that you're...

    Happy Birthday Mikael

    Happy Birthday... Hopefully you at least got out of changing diapers for one day. :grin: And I hope all is well with your wife and daughter, don't work too hard in the studio now.

    What the hell happened to Metallica ??

    Yeah, but so does almost every other main mouthpiece of a prolific band. Steven Tyler, Lars Ulrich, Ted Nugent.. hell, Gene Simmons made an album signifying this kind of reputation. They're all ego-maniacs to some degree.

    festival pier show

    Alright well that's good then, it might be possible for me to swing this afterall. Yep, she's got pretty good taste in music for the most part. She likes Tori Amos, Opeth, Anathema, Porcupine Tree, Alice In Chains, and some other stuff. She leans more towards the moodier stuff than the...

    festival pier show

    Hey guys, quick question for ya. If this is a tour with multiple bands, and this concert is on a Sunday... around what time do you think it will run from? Early afternoon to evening? The only reason I'm asking this stupid question is because my girlfriend's militantly controlling, Muslim...

    O/T Dave Mustaine and New Megadeth Record

    Agreed. Take a listen before dismissing it guys; it's pretty badass.
