You're all running in circles Someone define what the criteria are for something to be "the greatest band" Then this thread will mean something

Akercocke's drummmer is excellent... sorta In the sense that his fills, beats and whatnot are pretty fucking amazing, but he also hits the drums like a 10yearold girl and lets the mics do the work, which means that everything (to me anyway) sounded extremely halfhearted and with no power But...

I saw Burst when they opened for Mono + Dillinger Escape Plan a while back... good stuffs, they were a bit muddy soundwise but from what I could make out it's good

Ok. This is ridiculous. The classical composers composed ENTIRE SYMPHONIES for ENTIRE ORCHESTRAS (we're talking, what... maybe 90 musicians here), usually with just a piano, a piece of paper, and a pen. Beethoven did it deaf, to boot. Let's also not forget that you pretty much had to nail...

I know nothing about Solomnic magick or Enoch. I understand the album perfectly well. Shut the fuck up.

Blair is famous for fucking around with the whole Tool fanbase on a regular basis. He seems like a nice guy, but when it comes to Tool related questions never expect a straight answer. I posted a review of what I thought of the so called "Holy Gift" on the other thread. My final opinion was...

Really? Go check the review of this order that I posted in the other thread about Tool. I want someone who's rearranged it to break it down the way that I did and point out what's so amazing about the reordering. I'm a huge Tool fan, but I can't get this whole rearranging bullshit.

Ok, well, I liked the idea of this so I tried it out myself. Ripped the CD to high quality .wavs and then loaded the whole lot into Cool Edit Pro, and lined up the tracks properly so there is absolutely no silence between any of the tracks. The only credentials I have that make my opinion valid...

What the fuck? You've just reaffirmed how excellent a drummer Peart is, then go on to say that Portnoy is still better. In what way does Portnoy excel Peart? Is it: Odd time signatures? No Polyrhythms? No Feel/Emotion? No Playing what matches the music? No Speed? Not really...

Rofl. "ps the next album will have 3 cds and an accompanying old man to tell the story as you listen to it and also a rumble pack built into the cd"

Don't even get me started on this. Portnoy is overrated. Peart beats his ass any day. It may not be totally drumming related, but show me another drummer who can play a syncopated 4/4 glockespiel line while holding down a solid 5/4 groove with his remaining limbs. Yeah, Peart did that. I could...

I'm sorry, Chris Maitland teaches at my old school, he isn't anything special. He has no sense of dynamic, can only play at fortissimo, is as stiff as a board and produces students who are little clones of him. Sure, he can keep down a solid groove, but that's about as far as his ability goes.

People seem to forget about Sean Reinert.

What did God give the dumb, deaf and blind kid for Christmas? Cancer.

Can someone run me through how to save this to disk? I'm trying to use WMRecorder, but it always gets stuck at "Awaiting Header".... I can stream it fine with Windows Media Player...
