goin to see korn tonight...

[dreaming neon darkspot]

eh, i've still got a place in my heart for the angsty "chugga-chugga" nu-metal. didn't like break the cycle all that much.

that story about fred durst getting pissed at the "blasphemous" cover art for tormented was pretty much what made me give staind a listen in the first place, though

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

didn't like break the cycle all that much.:

That's the grimmest rock album ever!

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

imo, a guy can only write soo many songs about his parents' divorce before it kinda gets old...

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

No no we aren't going on lyrics. It's a given that they're shit. And besides that song about the parents sucked.

The opener about drugs though, don't you live in the hood too? You can relate to that shyt nigga. And...it's not about the Lyrics laura. Picture the album cover and you have to be enveloped in the atmosphere.

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

eh, i guess i can see where you're going... i didn't think it was really anything special musically, but that's just me and granted i haven't listened to that cd in like 5 yrs

 

[Captain Beard]

You're all gay!

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

^ I was going to say something to that effect.

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

*makes out with girl*

... yep!

 

[Captain Beard]

Do that again. *grabs camera*

 

[Will Bozarth]

Will I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on Staind. I remember a few years ago I listed Aaron Lewis as one of my top 10 singers and you agree he had a great voice.

I love Staind. They got me out of rap and I just rediscovered how great they were for two albums.

good singer, good song writer... just gets boring

 

[Lunar Still]

If I hear "It's Been A While" one more goddamn time, I am going to hunt down Aaron Lewis and boil him alive.

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

film, plz.

 

[neal]

I've never seen them, but I imagine that if the sound is good and the singer doesn't blow live, that low end would be pretty devastating and awesome to see/hear.

the low end is quite bowel shaking, only problems a) fieldy sucks 2) it drowns everything else out d) setlist already kinda sucked back then before they had 7 more shit albums

 

[Dead Winter]

They put on a really good show, and now they have a synth/programmer guy live which sorta gives it a new dimension. The only problem was the setlist...they really need to learn how to choose the songs. They played Blind, Faget, Ass Itch, and Adidas from the first two albums and that was it. I was happy to hear Ass Itch, though. So I guess you could say the show was better and worse than expected. They would start with some good momentum and just when you started to get a little excited, they then kill it all by playing filler.

The only original members there were Fieldy and Jonathan Davis, but the new drummer was really great.

 

[Dead_Lioness]

^ So despite their suckiness they did put on a good show?

I can believe that.

 

[Dead Winter]

Oh yeah, a great show actually. Jonathan Davis is an excellent frontman.

Another thing...there was a very positive vibe from everyone at the show. I'd say 75% of the people there were our age or older and there were all kinds of people from black metal metalheads to your average rock fan. I think most of the people were there for the nostalgia purposes as well. Very few nu metal fans...I think everyone realizes how silly it got.

[dreaming neon darkspot]

i agree with steve. that smilie is awesome

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Was listening to Untouchables yesterday. Decent album.

 

[Kvlt Wench]

You're all gay!

Very, very gay.
