Planning to go to the Kreator and Soilwork shows ... Nile ... will pass on that one

Any of you family men looking to do some raging?

 

[JayKeeley]

King Diamond is on a Tues/Wed so I guess no. Seen the others already, although I'd love to se Hypocrisy.

 

[Ayeka]

I'm seeing Judas Priest in 18 days

Planning on hitting the Kreator and Dark Tranquillity shows, but in Philly.

When you see Kreator, make sure you get a good view of Vader. Their bassist is going to blow you away.

Shame though that the latest albums from both bands were slightly lacklustre IMO.

Cool. I'll make it a point to check it out.

Can't say I've ever been a fan of either band. I just figured it would be an entertaining show.

Yeah, he is SO hot!!

Knowing your tastes, get yourself hooked up with:

1 - Violent Revolution (Kreator)
2 - Revelations (Vader)

Hey, that was the intended implication the other way around you bloking pole-smoker!!

Dunno about Vader, but Zod has already expressed his lack of enthusiasm for the above platter. Based on my recommendation though, he promised to re-visit and give it another shot.

WHAT?!!

Actually, the live experience should be relentless. If you're not floored by a Kreator / Vader double bill, then you need some medical attention:

"Stand clear".....beeeeeeeeeeeeep.......*electro Kreator shock to the heart*....beep beep beep beep.....that was a close one........*listens to Kamelot's Black Halo*......beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep......."fuck it, let's bag him"....

 

[Dark One]

Hahaha, let's give him a chance to come around first before we declare him a metal flatliner.

 

[JayKeeley]

"metal flatliner" -> haha, that rules.

 

[General Zod]

WHAT?!!

I've been enjoying "Enemy of God". I think I only spun "Violent Revolution" once or twice. As Dark One said, I shall revisit it.

I expect to enjoy the show. Though, I thought you weren't a big Vader fan?

If I need to be recusitated, can I just get mouth to mouth from the Beer Godess?

I think perhaps I didn't listen to this disc originally at an appropriate version. Thrash aint subtle, and isn't designed for polite volumes. I'm listening to the disc right now. First song is solid. Love the title track... though I remember liking it a lot the first time I heard it. The riff that runs through the chorus of "Servant in Heaven - King in Hell" has got to be one of the most evil riffs I've ever heard. This riff, had to be sitting at the right hand of Satan, just waiting to be written up here on Earth. Me likey.

East coasters and your shows...

Def a big Vader fan. Just thought their last one was a tad disappointing.

HAve you heard any Hypocrisy or Edge of Sanity by the way? I assume you've heard "Crimson" at least, right?

I've listened to Vader here and there. Not bad. I like some tracks, others... not so much. None of it is bad, it's just hit or miss. Which is your favorite Vader platter?

Have you heard any Hypocrisy or Edge of Sanity by the way? I assume you've heard "Crimson" at least, right?

Hypocrisy, not so much. I think I heard their last disc. Kind of had a bit of a NuMetal vibe to it, if memory serves me correctly. Once again.... recommendations?

Edge of Sanity.... I had been looking for "Crimson" forever (on MP3). Someone posted a partial, and it was real cool. Just got my hands on the whole thing a day or two ago. I'll probably spin it at work today.

Strangely, there was a 5-6 year period between between '93 and '99 where I just didn't buy anything new. Looking back, I don't know why. Perhaps it was because I wasn't quite sure where to find new music. Honestly, I'm not quite sure. Then I discovered HardRadio.com one day at work in late '99. Besides having a forum and reviews, they stream music all day long. One day, I heard the song "Dreaming Neon Black" by Nevermore and "Melancholy" by Iced Earth. Bought both on Amazon, and have been playing catch up ever since.

Revelations. It's the best place to start, however De Profundis is deemed the classic, but I'd check that out later. Revelations just has those riffs that get your head nodding.

Hypocrisy, not so much. I think I heard their last disc. Kind of had a bit of a NuMetal vibe to it, if memory serves me correctly. Once again.... recommendations?

I think you'd like The Final Chapter.

Edge of Sanity.... I had been looking for "Crimson" forever (on MP3). Someone posted a partial, and it was real cool. Just got my hands on the whole thing a day or two ago. I'll probably spin it at work today.

Well, yeah, Crimson is one track so the MP3 is probably close to 100Mb?

Lacking intraweb community. This forum alone has been better than any radio station or magazine for me.

Not promos though, they've been my handicap.
