Cool, If you´re travelling to the very South of Germany, let me know it ;-)
I´m living right next door to the Swiss Border (maybe 1,2 miles away from my home).

Not very original, I'm afraid. Slayer used to have the "Slaytanic Wehrmacht",
maybe you were a fan back then?, we're talking about the late eighties.
After I got finished with the "German I" course, things got rocky with
my girlfriend and I and then another guy entered the picture.
It wasn't completely her fault, he was a coward and a weasel and he
played on her vulnerability and confusion. Because of that guy,
we broke up and I was out for blood. All I could hear in my head were
those opening riffs and the lyrics for "Blood For Blood" by Machine Head.
I tied the Slayer thing into Machine Head and felt smart because of the german I had taken. We'll stop the story there.

I see ........ I remeber the first shirts with Slayer Wehrmacht, when I was a teenager and remember that I thought it was kinda strange for a band searching such a stupid word for the purpose of music and promotion.

I love "Blood For Blood" so it´s interesting how other people relate situations to this song ........ so you and your girlfried broke up forever ?

Not much of a fan of CC without Chris Barnes. I dont have the music.
Also, I think there are some words I just don't know...like the word
for 'entrails.
I never was a fan of CC but remebered they had some really ridiculous songtexts kinda vagina massacre or something like that, really weird haha .....
I was always listening to Swedish Death Metal like Entombed, Dismember, Hypocrisy etc. ....... but mostly I prefer "my" Thrash Metal Bands like Testa, MC, Exo, Forbidden and and and .....

Summer,most likely.
Hopefully he'll be too busy searching my bags for stolen beer steins to
notice lyrics :loco:
hahahahaha ...... if you need some good advice for German beer just ask me and I tell you which tasty beer you have to get the next time you´re here hehe ....

My last name is German, although, the spelling was altered at Ellis Island
when my ancestors came to this country in the late 1800's/Early 1900's...
something like that....and my father traced our ancestors roots back to
a region in Northern Germany. I dont recall the name offhand. I do know
that before the mid 1800's, my father can't find my ancestors. After talking
with other members of the family, it's the understanding that my ancestors
really pissed someone off and were on the run,changed their name and
escaped to America for safety. What's funny is I have a friend in Austria,
and she moved to a new place in Graz, I believe, and the street she lives
on is my last name, before it was altered at Ellis Island. So who knows,
maybe before Germany, my shady ancestors originated in Austria. That
means I'm directly related to Arnold Schwarzenegger. I AM THE
OFFICERNATOR!!!!!

TOTALLY! We'll drink and party and the women of Southern Germany will
worship us.

I believe they were also calling their fan club the Slaytanic Wehrmacht
around the South of Heaven/SITA era, as well.

Yeah, The lyrics in the 2nd verse:

beatings are what you'll inherit this time
fist bait, your new name
Your pain is my shrine
Pulverize and break
Determination
Pleasure I negate
Your pain brings me salvation

........ so you and your girlfried broke up forever ?

Long story short yeah. Because of that guy. He was her sancho.
She never told me, I figured it out. She made a hint once, and then
from there my masterful powers of observation and Psychological
trickery (2 stones from the Jedi Mind Trick) helped me figure it out and
from there we walked. The end of the story is 3 months later she called
and want to get back together but I said no. Tearjerker I know.

That'd be unreal, actually.

The Testament Legions are all one family.
 
Gee, what a great review. No wonder you were laughing your ass off when I asked you what you thought...and all you would say was...just read my review on the board. This is what I expected though...thanks for staying true to form. I just have one question? Why the hell would you go to an Opeth show in the first place? You've made it more than clear that you think they suck...so what was the point? It really kills me when people say Opeth lacks balls...especially when their cd of choice is Tempo of the Damned:Smug: whatever...after this week...nothing seems to matter anyway. Life sucks.........
 
Well, I agree w/ Pyrus and DE that they are good musicians ( I actually think Black Water Park is pretty musical) , but they do lack "balls".

I was kinda shocked though that DE would attend an Opeth-ized event. :D

Comparing Exodus TOTD to Opeth is like comparing Korn to Testament. o_O :loco:
 
I wasn't "comparing" anyone...just making an observation. I guess it's how you define "lacking balls". If you think completely straight forward, overly agressive, pound your brains out, predictable music with immature lyrical content is "ballsy" then I guess you're right. I don't think of it that way, so I don't tend to agree with that observation. I look at innovation and originality, as well as complexity and meaningful lyrics. To me that is (for lack of a better term) music with "balls". Before you decide to flame me..this post isn't aimed at any band in particular...just what I think music with balls is and is not.
 
AND...I've said it a million times. Opeth isn't about pure aggression, they never have been and never will be. Some of Mikael's main influences are obscure '70's prog bands. They are progressive, melodic and, different. They aren't thrash and they aren't trying to be aggressive...there's a LOT more to it than that. There's not another band out there that is doing what they are, and I admire and appreciate that. I really don't see what the big deal is and why we have to go over and over this. I like them...so what? No one in this forum likes them and all that happens is a bash fest when they are mentioned. "No balls. Boring. songs are too long. I was so bored I almost fell asleep. Do they hand out pillows at the door...etc." Yea, I guess I'm defensive..just like you all are about Exodus and Arch Enemy, but you don't see me starting threads about those bands and trying to bait you? I know this was a big joke because of the laughing that insued when I asked Walt how he liked the show. "Just go check my review on the board" hahahahahahahahahaha. Oh well...I guess I'll just stop posting when these threads pop up...maybe they will stop...

I wasn't saying you were...I meant before people decide to flame me over my explaination of "music with balls" (because I figured they would take it as a comment about Exodus or something). Sorry for the misunderstanding HL...didn't mean it that way:erk:

Heh, no problem :p MI , after I wrote it , I figured you're just at a breaking point w/ the Opeth critisism. So Pyrus, you been eating at Red Robin ? They have great swiss cheese and mushroom burgers.

(or do you bay area people even have red robin ???)
 
HL, they didnt have Red Robin's last time I checked, although, I've
been remote and away from Cali for 6 months.

Those must be down behind the Orange Curtain....

:)
