Be Excellent To Each Other

What belm said.

I can agree. What I've never understood is the 3 second song phenomenon. A mate played an Anal Cunt album for me once and sometimes it takes longer to read the name of the songs than it does to listen to it.

This is pretty much what they are in 'extreme' metul, aye. They're there to provide texture and a sort of percussive effect rather than melody...

Nah, those are ace. Napalm death 'You Suffer' is the classic of that, I believe.

Lyrics are acceptable if they're in German or some other gutteral language, also.

So it's a Welsh invention?

I... don't really know. Can't explain it but he's never really excited me in his career.

This is my favourite vocal performance of all time.

Mrs. W's little bro is the drummer

Scat... Orgy.

Nice

Yeah don't google them. Ever.

Never been into Tsjuder, but this is pretty ace.

Help Ghoul buy a van. Ah go on.

No, because I won't get a share of their profits, the blood of their first born, etc...

They got to their total. This Kickstarter thing is great.

11-year-old metal singer.

Man, that technique is going to destroy his vocal cords. By the time he's 18 he'll sound like Clint Eastwood in Heartbreak Ridge.

Black Breath update! On the third listen now, and it's another success. They're ruining it for everyone. Initial thoughts are that it's a lot less melodic (I know, right?) than the début, and lacks that Entombed rock n roll groove. It's more straight up in its rhythms, pounding like Gil Theelander. Really got interesting for me at the mid point - 'Endless Corpse' and 'Mother Abyss' bringing Mike Oldfield/Possessed ominous arpeggio and fucked up harmonies into the mix. On teh Entombed tip, I do like the backward masking fade in a la To Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth. The shorter running time (10 songs in 32 mins rather than 40) reflects the fact the band is just meaner and more brutal on this one. Some really nice riffs. Might be backing the groove, but there's some real imagination in the riffage.

Have you got your Meshuggah ticket yet, Monsieur T'Silver?

*googles*

14 April? I may be out of the country

I'll check.

Anyone at Kylesa/Circle Takes the Square in Leeds tomorrow?

Also I saw The Devil's Blood the other night and they were bloody brill-o.

Didn't even know that was happening

Nope. No idea what you're talking about there Lars. It was shit. My name is Dale.

Take that rediculous mask off, Dimrill.

I'm not really that keen on metal, but there are some songs that I like, that are often classified as metal by other people, and I think isn't that just rock?

I don't really know the difference between the 2, I got given a Kerrang CD back in the 90s and I liked most of the songs on that, and I can see that most of them are faster/harder/louder than say oasis or whatever. But it's still stuff that I would consider heavy rock (if such a thing exists) rather than metal.

That's the one I've got

This is metal.



Eveything else is falsehood.

If you are a false don't entry.

I've got that one too - certainly a lot better than some compilations, despite the Duff McKagan and Little Angels type stuff.

My glow in the dark Brutal Truth shirt arrived today.

Wimps and Africa, leave the hall!

If it sounds like someone's throwing up, the band logo is unreadable, the cover is generic fake evil or someone's singing about being a table, it's metal. Of none of those is true, it's not.

Judas Priest are metal, and they're none of those.

That was an amazing education for me when I was 14.

New CC tune sounds thrashy!

I clicked with trepidation, as I thought Coal Chamber were back.

They are.

I set myself up for that, like a hapless teen in a slasher movie.

And like them, *dies*

I hope you ran around screaming with your baps out.

Amazing Anathema have a simply superb track for free here. They just keep getting better. Love them.

Why aye, it's the best Canny Corpse album since Bloodthirst dahn'tcha knaaa. I'm cockney! Born hugga mugga to the sound of bow bells.

Boo-urns... Maiden are only touring the States this year. It's their awesome Seventh Tour of a Seventh Tour as well (saw this in '89 at the NEC), so it's fair to say I'd love to catch this gig, but a dedicated visit to the States is a bit much.

Here's hoping they bring the show back to the UK in 2013, but that's a long time to wait.

Especially at your age, just wrap up next winter and you should pull through mate.

Meh, indeed mate. Got a nasty cough and cold as we speak.

Just stick yer Maiden England VHS on.

Very true mate; sadly though, I no longer have a VHS recorder. I wonder if anyone's ever ripped this to DVD; I'll get googling.

Personally, I prefer Maiden England even to Live After Death, although for me that's a bit like having to choose between my two kids!

Mind you, I loved the Donnington '92 vid as well. Man, was that really 20 years ago? Cripes...

Glad we got to see them when we did, then.

It's a bit disappointing when Reeder filled in for Oliveri when he was daft with police a few months ago, and given Homme being videoed headbanging at their show. I think the dollar signs are maybe spinning in their eyes a bit.

I was about to say I was surprised Kyuss Lives! was still going with Nick's criminal issues. Reeder is a dude.

Fuck anything. I rocked out.

Having had mine returned to me from my brothers house, I'm about to do this in the next fortnight or so. I'll chuck you a copy when I get it done.

They're not quite metal, but Refused are no longer fucking dead and will be playing Roskilde festival which is very tempting.
