    R.I.P. Nick Menza

    Died on stage? There's probably a lot of musicians who've joked about going out that way. He was a good drummer, maybe I should check out some of his work after Megadeth in respect for him now.

    Agalloch-Marrow of the Spirit Since Agalloch disbanded recently, I figured I should give a listen to more than just The Mantle and Ashes Against the Grain to get an idea of where they headed, even though I heard they lost focus.

    Ozzy Osbourne

    I'm sorry, perhaps I should have specified. I mean more recently. His TV show, shitty lineups at Ozzfest, different recording fiascos. It feels to me like he's contributed negatively to the reputation of metal because of these influences.

    Agalloch - is it over?

    For discussion's sake, could you justify this? I'm not saying you're wrong, but it is a left-of-center opinion that could generate some useful points if you went more in-depth as to why you disagree with the majority.

    Do you listen to any other genres?

    ((What the hell is brony and furry music? That's a cultural trend based on a TV show and fetish, not a collection of traits that define a genre, any music made by a brony or furry would fit into another genre, not make it's own genre.)) Ahem, anyways. I started out with hard rock and prog...

    Ozzy Osbourne

    Ozzy's a tough point for me, though not to the point some other musicians are, because while I love some of his work, and I think he's probably a nice guy at heart, but his current career makes me wonder just how complicit he is in the current state of affairs. With someone like say, Dave...

    Agalloch - is it over?

    I'm kind of sad to hear that they broke up, but it's more that things got to that point that is sad. They did some pretty kickass stuff when they were synergized, but became so disenfranchised the last few albums. Maybe now the musicians can create something good with new groups, but that...

    It's weird getting back into music...

    Man, it's like it's 2004 all over again. Anyways, I added my RYM to my signature to give an easy link to what I listen to. I'll post a thread in the recommendations section when I have a more solid idea what I'm looking for rather than a list of every subgenre. I probably could use more Black...

    It's weird getting back into music...

    Thank you for welcoming me back! I actually would like my old account to be merged, I may not be proud of how I was on forums in my teenage years, but it was an important step for me. Some of the biggest music I've listened to has been Thrash, Progressive and Tech Death in that order, but...

    Albums currently kicking your ass

    I saw these guys live at the beginning of their tour for this album. It was pretty fun show, and I hope to see more stuff from them. There's a decent Power Metal scene in Salt Lake City, but concert venues like to screw them over for Rap Metal bands.

    Albums currently kicking your ass

    I can't believe it took me this long to get into Anthrax. I used to think of them as inferior to the rest of the big 4, but their catchiness has won me over.

    It's weird getting back into music...

    Hello, I'm an old member from way back in the heyday, going by 1st Metalheads under an old email when I was a teenager. Due to a lot of personal reasons, I got out of music and focused on work, but more recently I've felt the itch to get back into discovering new stuff every day. I know...
