    Any Bands You've Given Up On?

    Yeah, In Flames is all I can think of off the top of my head that I've just lost ALL hope in. Iced Earth, too, I guess. I don't think they suck, perse, just that they have to come up with some new songs :-/

    I need bands like Spiral Architect!!

    Well, I already know a lot of the tech stuff with growled vocals. Just yesterday I ordered the new Anata and Spawn of Possession from The End :notworthy

    I need bands like Spiral Architect!!

    Something technical with soaring clean vocals... or just some tech metal with clean vocals!! The only bands that remotely hit it are Watchtower and SA... ocassionally random songs by Dream Theater or Symphony X, but I'm looking for something that is consistently technical as hell, like SA...

    Opeth in Los Angeles

    She hit her head on someone else's head. The cops afterwards thought she had a bad trip on something, I was getting so pissed off at them...

    Opeth in Los Angeles

    It was a great show! Anyone see me? I was the younger dude with curly ass hair and a For Absent Friends tour shirt on. My girl was with me, too. Great show and all... but she ended up getting a concussion during Blackwater Park! Kind of funny in retrospect, but not so nice at the time =p

    Am I gonna have a problem tonight?

    Goin' to the House of Blues Anaheim show tonight... and I'm 16, so I need a guardian. However, I don't have one. Are they very strict? I'm thinking I'll just try to get some random guy to say he's my cousin or something, people are pretty nice... no?

    Pickups

    What are the different types of pickups and such? I know of single coils, humbuckers, and piezo, but I have no clue what piezos are... Just talk about what type you prefer, why, and I'd really appreciate it if someone had some visual representations of the differences, as well as a technical...

    Who plays drums on C2?

    I remember reading somewhere that the first instrument Dan played was drums. Maybe it was a dream...

    Which Nightingale should I get?

    My options are the ones available on The End. The only song I've hear by them is Shadowman, and the first instant I heard it, I wondered why I took so long to check them out... this song kicks my ass. Thus, I am considering Alive Again. I can't find any other MP3s so I'll take you guys' word...

    Iced Earth remasters?

    Back when the reissues were coming out I spotted a copy of Burnt Offerings (non-remaster) and was like "Oh, I better snatch this up before I don't have a chance any more." I think I made a bad choice. I'll buy the remaster some time now... is it really worth it if I have the original? I'm a...

    Uh... is this a real Edge of Sanity song?

    A while ago my friend downloaded a song, and it was labeled as Edge of Sanity - Elegy. He sent it to me for some reason, and I went "Wait, this isn't Elegy... this is totally different." I know for a fact it's not hte Elegy that's on Purgatory Afterglow, because I own that album. The lyrics...

    brave murder day/mikael

    I believe a lot of people refer to it as "Drone" doom metal. At least that's what I've heard. I like their older stuff. I guess it's a type of music you have to "get"
