OFF TOPIC THREAD!!!

[noble savage]

damn! I remember when I came back to consciousness after surgery I was miserable as well. Eating is one of my favorite things to do, among other things, and to be totally incapable of doing that is just horrible. :zombie: There really is no accurate emoticon for this feeling

 

[progmetaldan]

Thanks guys, I'm really looking fowards to it now... I go in in exactly 5 hours, which will be the afternoon over here, and so I'm spending the night, and won't be home til tomorrow morning... So yeah, I'll rejoin the discussion then, and I should be pretty grumpy and annoyed... I'll see ya then!

 

[progmetaldan]

I'm back from the hospital now fellas, and my mouth is swollen and my gums are aching , but I'm happy cos I'm on the forums...

 

[progmetaldan]

hey RedInTheSky good work on the Opeth forums, I think we've got them well and truly stirred up on the 'Bands With The Most Creative Riffing' thread... What a bunch of idiots, all they can do is mock other people's opinions... Give 'em heaps!!!

 

[Khaos_McDoom]

hehe yeah. Slayer is coming to New Zealand in a month or 2. Its gonna be fukn kik ass Not many bands come to our neck of the woods so this is a serious treat for us.

 

[progmetaldan]

Are they doing Australia as well???

 

[Khaos_McDoom]

I would assume so, they wouldn't come all the way down here to do 1 show in NZ. Its in April I think so have a look into it.

 

[progmetaldan]

I'll see what's goin' down... I'm not a huge Slayer fan, but not much comes down here, so...

 

[Brisket]

Yeah, I'm not a big Slayer fan either, but I went to the Unholy alliance tour in Edmonton, And it was awesome. There was also, Lamb Of God, Mastodon, and Children of Bodom.

 

[progmetaldan]

Lamb Of God and CoB are pretty cool, I haven't heard a lot of Mastodon though...

 

[Brisket]

My brother got me the new Mastodon CD... I didn't like it at all, lol. I haven't listened to it since.

And I don't even listen to COB of LOG either, but it was an awesome show.

 

[progmetaldan]

Yeah, I've heard that they're not that great...

 

[progmetaldan]

Haha, this thread came up in the Symphony X forum discussing Spiral Architect... It's quite amusing to hear the opinions of those who don't 'understand' Spiral Architect...

Don't worry, we're fighting hard for the cause...

 

[progmetaldan]

I just ordered:

Spastic Ink- Ink Compatible
Spastic Ink- Ink Complete
Ron Jarzombek- Solitarily Speaking Of Theoretical Confinement
Ron Jarzombek- PHHHP!

It's gonna be some crazy, fun, tech-metal for me...

 

[progmetaldan]

Today I am pretty happy, cos I just found:

Cynic- Focus

Atheist- Elements (special ed.)

plus Steve Vai- Alien Love Secrets

also, the Ron Jarzombek albums shouldn't be very far away either...

 

[Khaos_McDoom]

Slayer was freakin awesome Mastodon also played, they were alright. Missed Lamb of God a week or so ago. Now its Dragonforce in May and Nile 2 days afterwards! Its a big year down these ways in the way of concerts.
Did you get the original Cynic release or the one with the bonus tracks and the Portal stuff?

 

[progmetaldan]

original release... I was happy enough just to find it...

 

[Khaos_McDoom]

Sweet, I also managed to stumble across the original release a year or two ago in a random music store.

 

[progmetaldan]

It's a fantastic album, I was just getting it cos it is one of those 'cult classics' to have, but it's heaps better than I had even expected, I really love it more every time I hear it!

 

[Khaos_McDoom]

Hell yeah, its freakn awesome. I managed to learn Celestial Voyage, Uroboric forms and How Could I? on the guitar, its some pretty hard shit to pull of good, more practice me thinks.
