So was this a joke? I nearly fell out of my seat laughing. Nothing like a white guy doing regge inspired rap.

King Diamond-No Presents for Christmas. Time to dust off Fatal Portrait and start that shit crankin'

It always irritates me when people say this. Not only is it rather snobbish, it's just general rules of ranking. In the olympics for example, you never see "hmm... everyone did ok, but no one was outstanding. So despite getting the best time, you only get silver medal". That's absurd to say...

First of all, El Corazon is a horrible venue for shows and they always oversell. Here's the reason: They have somewhere between 300 and 400 capacity in their concert area. They have 2-300 capacity in their bar area. This means they have between 500 and 700 tickets to sell (sorry about the...

On another board, i have this quote in my signature: Andrew and i were discussing this last night and we decided it also was relavent for musical ideology. And no, i didn't come up with that quote. I wish i could come up with something that awesome! :lol:

They really don't though. most money for most bands (this is a generality) is made not from cd sales, but from touring and merch sales.

Ok, so one person gets my sense of humor. Yay. Also, those tits are on a statue or something... by the way, i actually burst out laughing at that last part hahaha :grin:

I love the disc, but the vocalist gets too whiny a lot of the time. Awesome music thouhg.

Ahhh, now we get into my deep dark past. Many years ago, i WAS a korn fan. A rather large korn fan. *cough* and Limp Bizkit. Have a field day guys... i can see the comments now ("Deep dark past? Stop talking about yesterday like that hahaha") Seriously, troll comments aside, i like your...

*wipes eyes, gets up from corner and meanders back into the conversation* Few things. First off, one should never have to justify their musical tastes. Second, who said elitist is a bad word (i see many of you folks are here). Finally, being openminded is overrated. If you argue that, go...

Yeah, so i had a long response all typed out, but fuck it. I think you guys just kinda lost my sense of humor and my real question and decided i was a troll. *Walks over to the corner to cry and feel sorry for myself*

Glenn my good sir, you are 100% correct! I was hoping you'd take part in this discussion. Now, i'm not going to claim i am a big prog fan (though get me some good ol' gamma ray or angra and you have yourself one happy metal fan). However, though i despise them with every bone in my body, i...

my guess would be too expensive. They wouldn't be very high up in the bill due to the fans revolting, yet they are a major label band, so that wouldn't fly. Then there's the no moshing thing.... To be honest, i really like their new album. Their first two suck donkey taint.

So i got the new Stride disc in the mail yesterday for review. Good thing i didn't drop any hard earned bucks on it. This has to be one of the most overrated bands i have ever heard of. I mean, it's not that they are any worse than any other pretentious, boring prog band, but the fact that...

Hey Jax, i was talking to mr Matt Moliti last night and he pointed out that Stratovarius have done such a good job sweeping this whole thing under the carpet. If anyone can find the story online, post it here. I was checking strato.com every day for months there, but i wouldn't mind re-reading...
