MetalHead Thread

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Yeah I think you get the gist but this time theres a poll!

[Rock'n'Roll]

I see no poll?

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Look again my friend.

Anyway my favourite metal groups include:

Iron Maiden (NWOBHM)
Judas Priest (NWOBHM)
Iced Earth (Thrash/Power Metal)
Trivium (Metalcore pre-Crusade and now Thrash)

[Kev]

I quite like Rage Against The Machine, Soulfly and System Of A Down.

Anything else I dont.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

lol Im sure if you like those you could find a few other Alternative Metal bands that you like

[Kev]

I've listened to a shite load of music in my 24 years, and there isnt much I like in the world of Heavy Metal style music

[KillingInTheNameOf]

lol did you even vote?

[Kevin]

i voted for glam rock.

it's glamtabulous

[Marv From NZ]

Good jesus, is Grumma back? I vote for every choice because i love every single type of metal. But if i had to narrow my favourite metal bands down, it'd be Iron Maiden, Pantera, Old School-Metallica and Slayer.

[Rosie28]

Not a fan of any

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

genres and subgenres are not important to me.

[Jake]

Genres annoy me, bands can fit into several at once, so putting them in one initially is pointless. I voted for 7 of those categories..I like my music.

Just mentioning a couple names, anyone know of or like the following:

Kalmah, Before the Dawn, Into Eternity, Moonsorrow, Turisas ?

Those last 2 fit into omganothergenre. Viking or folk metal. YOU SUCK FOR MISSING THAT ONE OUT.

[graverobbin'bastard]

I'm not one for much heavy music but I do loves me some motorhead!

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Good jesus, is Grumma back? I vote for every choice because i love every single type of metal. But if i had to narrow my favourite metal bands down, it'd be Iron Maiden, Pantera, Old School-Metallica and Slayer.

Except for Power Metal apparently :p

[Rock'n'Roll]

I voted for the new wave of British Heavy Metal (I like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest) and Thrash Metal (I like early 'Tallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Pantera..).

Where would Black Sabbath and Motorhead fit in?.. i'd vote for Original Metal too if it was there!!

Useless Metal fact no. 1:
They say The Kinks' 'You Really Got Me' was the first metal riff.

[Jawn]

Actually the first heavy metal bands/artists ever would have been Cream, Led Zepellin and Hendrix.

[The Dying Start]

Metallica isn't thrash. What the grogan?

I chose Glam rock coz i quite like guys in tights.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Metallica were thrash until probably Black

(although a Metallica fan could probably correct me on that if Im wrong)

[Marv From NZ]

Yeah they were pretty thrashy before black i.e Blackened, Battery. But some of their other shit wasn't so thrashy, like Kill Em All, sounds very Misfits'y in some areas. Twas' a good mix until they became all country on us with the Black album.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Nah Black was alright.

Well at least Enter Sandman lol . . .

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Those last 2 fit into omganothergenre. Viking or folk metal. YOU SUCK FOR MISSING THAT ONE OUT.

Uh huh

Though i spose I could have merged metalcore and hardcore then used the last option to put in heavy metal . . .

Ah well

mod anyone lol?

[Rock'n'Roll]

Actually the first heavy metal bands/artists ever would have been Cream, Led Zepellin and Hendrix.

The Kinks "You Really Got Me" was released in 1964.

In 1964 Hendix was playing guitar with the Isley Brothers

Cream formed in 1966

Led Zeppelin formed in 1968

I win smart arse :p

[KillingInTheNameOf]

I think he meant that the Kinks werent actually metal maybe?

[Rock'n'Roll]

yeah true.. they don't look it

http://www.earcandymag.com/kinks-1.jpg

haha

[KillingInTheNameOf]

No not at all :p

[Marv From NZ]

Unforgiven is the only track on the Black album that i like. The rest is bullshit, i keep asking what the fuck happened to Lars drumming, such a huge scale down from the last albums.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

haha not that Lars's's's's drumming was anything spectalur to begin with :p

[Marv From NZ]

Yeah better drummers and all that bullshit, i know, but i mean on a general Metallica scale, compared to previous efforts.

[hillaas]

Sorry i'm not all up with all these MEtal genre's but can i ask what type of genre Slipknot would be in?

[Marv From NZ]

Slipknots gay. They're probably tin metal cas' of their trash cans or something, nu-metal maybe, who gives a shit.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Yeah better drummers and all that bullshit, i know, but i mean on a general Metallica scale, compared to previous efforts.

Yeah I knew what you meant :p

SlapKnuTs = nu-metal

[hillaas]

K. I voted nu metal.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Pretty much anything like Soulfly, SlipKnot, Korn, Limp Bizkit etc is nu-metal

[Jawn]

The Kinks "You Really Got Me" was released in 1964.

In 1964 Hendix was playing guitar with the Isley Brothers

Cream formed in 1966

Led Zeppelin formed in 1968

I win smart arse :p

I just quoted what Eric Clapton said I didn't research it. hahah. Would YOU argue with Clapton? :P

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Would YOU argue with Clapton? :P

I would :)

[KillingInTheNameOf]

www.myspace.com/trivium

Dont care if you hated their previous albums but the new one is friggin awesome and is fairly different from both ETI and Ascendancy.

Unfortunately they didnt put Broken One on The Crusade because RRunner didnt want them to but its the best song theyve ever released! Curses to them!

[Marv From NZ]

Not bad. Must say though.......they do sound very Pre-Black Metallica'ish.

[Rhiannon]

Hell yes, I love Trivium! I haven't been able to get the new album yet (TLE sent me broke D: ) but I will ASAP. I've heard Anthem (We Are The Fire) and LOVE it.

I loved how Matt Heafy was saying how there's less screaming on the new album because they really don't even like screaming that much and the only reason he was screaming was because he couldn't sing that well and he wanted to front the band.
I don't think he needed vocal coaching, though. He sounded pretty amazing on Roadrunner United's The End.

[Madtwins]

Funny thread :) We are also was metalhead-girls in school 10 years ago. We loved Metallica and Amorphis those time but now we voting for power-metal, because our best friend Ludka is power metal girl and we listen a lot of "Blind Guardian" and "Stratovarius" songs at Ludka's place.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

I don't think he needed vocal coaching, though. He sounded pretty amazing on Roadrunner United's The End.

Its amazing what Pro-Tools can do :p

Trust me; heard a recording of For Whom The Bell Tolls they did and his vocals, while not bad for the song, were all over the shop lol

But he sounds sweet now
And get The Crusade. Listened to it a few times and it beats the pants off Ascendancy apart from 1 or 2 songs

*oh yeah. and as good as Anthem is, it probably sits behind Ignition, Unrepentent, Becoming the Dragon and Tread the Floods. And then theres Broken One and Vengence which are B-sides for the Anthem single; they kick major arse as well*

[Droogie]

HEY METAL HEADS!!!!!
Anyone here goin GIGANTOUR???

Not long now:D :D :D

[cdejonge]

I could have gone for free, but never made my mind up. And probably too busy with Uni now.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

I couldnt be bothered forking out the money lol

Saving for a car and for when Trivium hit our shores early next year

[Rhiannon]

Its amazing what Pro-Tools can do :p

Trust me; heard a recording of For Whom The Bell Tolls they did and his vocals, while not bad for the song, were all over the shop lol

But he sounds sweet now
And get The Crusade. Listened to it a few times and it beats the pants off Ascendancy apart from 1 or 2 songs

*oh yeah. and as good as Anthem is, it probably sits behind Ignition, Unrepentent, Becoming the Dragon and Tread the Floods. And then theres Broken One and Vengence which are B-sides for the Anthem single; they kick major arse as well*

Lol, yeah, good point.
I'll definitely be getting The Crusade ASAP. I have 4 albums at the moment that I'm craving, that being one of them, but they have to wait because concert tickets wont.
Everywhere seems to be saying exactly what you did; that Ascendancy doesn't even compare to The Crusade. And I loved Ascendancy, so I can't wait.

I've heard rumours that they're coming here but no dates or anything... has anything official been said as to when they're coming?

[Marv From NZ]

Didn't really like their last album, nothing innovative about it, but i'll give the new one a listen. Although from what i've heard, it reminds me bit too much of Metallicas "Master of Puppets" album. If it's a ripoff of one of the greatest if not greatest thrash metal albums of all time, then fuck that shit.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Have you heard one song then Marvan :p

[Evil Chris]

Look again my friend.

Iced Earth (Thrash/Power Metal)


Good To See Someone Has Good Taste In metal.


The Metal I like is in High Speed and you can understand what they're saying.

[_jimmy_]

some metal songs are ok,like some of metallica's songs, but full on heavy metal like battery just gives me a head ache.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

I dont mind Battery but its too uncalculated if ya get my drift . . .

Thats the main reason I prefer the new Trivium style over Metallica

Trivium's solo's flow with the song unlike Metallica's where the song practically stops, then you have wanky shredding for a few minutes, then back to the song

[Jake]

I'm not so keen on Trivium. I haven't quite picked out the reason, but it's mainly because they are (yes this may sound like a bad excuse) trying too hard - they're trying to be the 'next Metallica' but still doing the melodic vocals. Although I probably haven't listened to enough of them to judge, the songs sound quite similar that I've heard.

And Grumma, wanky shredding pwns you.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Yeah but calculated shredding pwns me even more :p

[Marv From NZ]

Have you heard one song then Marvan :p

No i haven't penis breath. I heard like 5 of their new songs.

Ohh and Battery = Best Metallica song ever. If you don't like Battery and consider yourself a Mettalica fan, you're dumb.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Unless you prefer their newer, mellowed out style :p

[Marv From NZ]

Which is stupid bar Unforgiven and Unforgiven Two.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Nah a few of their newish songs are pretty good.

[Marv From NZ]

Elaborate for me Grumma? New as in.....

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Black and Beyond

Enter Sandman, Nothing Else Matters, I Disappear.

Theres a few there if you can be bothered finding them

[Marv From NZ]

That's cool....i sorta liked Black and all the other shit when i was nothing but Metallica for like 9 months a few years back, but yeah it died down eventually and Pre-Black was where it was at for me.

Wouldn't mind a new Pantera album right fucking now....if only.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

haha well the amount of Metallica Ive heard is probably only 2 albums worth in total.

So I pretty much named every post-Black so Ive ever heard :p

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Haha these guys just befriended me on myspace

www.myspace.com/vanstone

[Marv From NZ]

If any you metalheads get a chance to see KSE or Unearth live, please do it, you won't regret it. Last nights concert was simply AMAZING, boy do these bands have some fucking stage presence. Unearth, holy shit.....KSE, fuck me senseless, what a night. Funny as cunts aswell.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

http://www.myspace.com/arcturusnorway

weirdass experimental group i found

[KillingInTheNameOf]

*bump*

*Bumpiddy bump*

[Evil Chris]

Is alternative Metal there? I like Disturbed & System Of A Down

[Marv From NZ]

Disturbed have got to be one of the most over-rated and stupidest bands out. I don't know how they got to be so popular.

[Evil Chris]

with there awesome album the sickness

[Marv From NZ]

Yeah it really is the sickness. Made me feel sick after hearing it.

[Evil Chris]

You Are My Most Hated Enemy

..bad pun

[KillingInTheNameOf]

I wish I could say Ive heard a Disturbed song . . .

But I havent :p

[cdejonge]

Disturbed are pretty good. Check them out!

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Nah . ..

I'll stick to Trivium :p

[Jake]

If you listen to Disturbed and take it as an OTT in-yer-face thing, it can be pretty fun. But I can't take them seriously.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Eh I wont take em seriously then.

Only in ya face music like that I like is the Jack Black inpsired :p

[Evil Chris]

I wish I could say Ive heard a Disturbed song . . .

But I havent :p


If you had to get one song. I reccomend "Conflict".

That song is a real In your face song. Talking to you being his Very Greatest Enemy.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Talking to you being his Very Greatest Enemy.

I still havent figured out what thats supposed to mean :confused:

[Marv From NZ]

Probably something to do with Disturbed? Maybe......

[Evil Chris]

Lyrics:


Disturbed - Conflict

Here You are, enemy
You are my hated enemy
I am enemy
Number one rated enemy
I'm a labelled enemy
I am your mortal enemy
My actions, enemy
Make me your bitter enemy

All around the world around enemy
They're tearing up the ground enemy
They're drawn in by the sound
Enemy, enemy I must eliminate my enemy

Your people, enemy
My people's hated enemy
What are you, enemy
The world created enemy
Eliminate the, enemy
Eradicate the hated enemy
I am an enemy
My very greatest enemy
[x4]
You try to tell me that you love life
Then find another way to kill life
Wanting, Love life
Wanting, Kill life
Enemy, Enemy, enemy, enemy
Enemy enemy enemy enemy
you try to tell me that you love life
then find another way to kill

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Yeah . ..

Who cares :)

[Evil Chris]

I thought that'd make you understand what i said...who cares

[Marv From NZ]

I don't care.....
This reminds of 2 years ago when i used to catch the school bus back home. There was a little Form 4 who used to do nothing but play stupid Disturbed songs on his acoustic. Silly...very silly.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

I was talking to Marv before.

And anyone who plays only ONE band is an idiot

[Marv From NZ]

Yeah especially when it's Parkway Drive, which is basically just break downs.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Haha yeah that also . ..

Mind you I only ever play:

Stairway to Heaven
One
Enter Sandman
Gone Away (The Offspring)
Iris

hmm thats about it .. .
cos theyre all Ive bothered to learn :p

[Marv From NZ]

That's not bad for a drummer who can strum the guitar.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Who says I play guitar :p

[Marv From NZ]

That's all you can play on drums? What other than the drums can you play those songs on?

[KillingInTheNameOf]

I only play drums.

And theyre the only songs that Ive completely got down-pat
I can play a handful of Trivium songs and a few TLE ones pretty close to being right but those are the ones that I know Im playing correctly (or close enough to it)

[Marv From NZ]

Mr. Technically correct Grumma! Who would've thought...... :p But then again how long have you been playing for?
On drums, the songs that i know i've got down are What's On Your Radio, all elemeno P songs and My Friends Over You by NFG.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

2 years.

Though Ive only start actually practising now that Ive finished school

It used to be once every month "hey Im bored so I'll play drums"

[Marv From NZ]

Not bad. Some people play full on for 2 years and they just naturally suck balls at playing any instrument, so if you can play a Trivium song, you're on track.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

I can do Pull Harder pretty much cept for all the extra cymbals and toms he uses.

Gunshot i can play as much as what i can remember lol

Yeah I used to suck. But now Im less sucky :p

[Evil Chris]

here's a drummers tip, try learning Wake Up. Sounds easy, yet awesome.

[Adele]

Danzig!!!!

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Wake Up. Sounds easy

That's because it is easy :p

verses look like this:

HH x - x - - - x - x x x o - - x -
SD - - - - o - - - - - - - o - - -
BD o - - - - - - - o - - - - - - -


and the snare roll part is just:

SD d d d d d d d d o o o o

where the doubles are ghosts as well

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Saving the thread:

Alrighty myspace time!

Alter Bridge (www.myspace.com/alterbridge) - hard rock

DragonForce (www.myspace.com/dragonforce) - Insane extreme power metal

[Marv From NZ]

Alter Bridge are basically Creed in every sense of the word. Creed shouldn't have broken up, it would've been cheaper.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Except that Myles Kennedy shits all over their old singer

[Marv From NZ]

That's a real bad joke right Grumma? He's is basically a real ugly version of Scott Stapp, his voice is LITERALLY the same and all strained out.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Myles Kennedy sounds nothing like Stapp

[Marv From NZ]

I'm not even gonna argue with that point. It's like saying salt water doesn't taste like salt water. :p

[KillingInTheNameOf]

But they dont sound anything alike

Listen to Metalingus (Alter Bridge) then like Arms Wide Open (Creed)
Their voices are nothing alike

[Jawn]

I listened to Altar Bridge because proving one of you two wrong is my life goal :p


Too bad Grumma, Marv is right. The vocals are VERY similar. In fact, the whole sound is similar. Both have that annoying southern drawl.

[dirty man]

stupid vocal accents

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Kennedy sings at least an octave above Stapp.

[dirty man]

such a difference.....

[Jawn]

Kennedy sings at least an octave above Stapp.

no he doesn't.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

yes he does.

Their vocal style, and also the sound of the band in general are pretty similar.
But Kennedy and Stapp's vocals vary considerably

[Jawn]

.....no they don't :p

[dirty man]

you tel him jawm, dont take that musically based crap

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Yes they do :p

Saying Stapp and Kennedy sound the same is like saying Ripper Owens and Rob Halford sound the same.

or ZP Theart and Bruce Dickinson sound the same.
It aint happening

[dirty man]

i think we all now jawn is smarter and therefore the victor

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Do you have any of your own arguments or are you just going to suck Jawn's dick?

[dirty man]

well if u want i can suck urs

[Marv From NZ]

WTF.....????? :confused: :confused: :confused:

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Suffice to say

He's a fag

[dirty man]

well, whats wrong with that, fags get sucked dont they?

[KillingInTheNameOf]

I didnt say there was anything wrong with it

[worry_rock]

You people are seriously disturbed.

Anyway, this is actually the first time I've ventured into this thread I think. I'm gonna vote in the poll but I don't know whether to choose between Thrash or Nu Metal.

Haha, obviously I'm not a huge metal fan because I don't know many of those sub-genres, I just had to go by the bands that were given as examples.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

You like Audioslave dont you?

[worry_rock]

You like Audioslave dont you?

Yeah, but I like Metallica a whole load better. I ended up voting for thrash. Haha it was funny, at my mate's place yesterday they had Metallica on and all the guys were like SEEK AND DESTROYYY and air drumming :p

[KillingInTheNameOf]

lol actually depending on what era of Metallica like, you may not like Thrash :p

[worry_rock]

Tut tut Grums, you're so misleading.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Haha well Nothing Else Matters isnt exactly what anyone would call Thrash :p

[worry_rock]

Yeah, no shit. But Nothing Else Matters isn't their entire repetoire, douche.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Yeah, no shit

alcho

[Bec]

I need advice! I'm buying a present for my friend in England, I asked what music she was into and she said:
pretty much all metal
cky
marilyn manson
rammstein
slipknot
skindred....
the list is pretty much endless

I have absolutely no clue about metal so based on those bands, could anybody please suggest a good aussie metal band that she'd like and probably wouldn't have heard of/have the cd of?

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Hmmm only Aussie metal bands I can think of are all more tradition metal bands, umm . . .

By the sounds of it theyre into more nu/industrial metal

[Bec]

Ahh okay, thanks. They don't have to be aussie I was just thinking since I don't know what cds she already has to get her something she most likely wouldn't.

Maybe I'll just get her something else then.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Yeah that could be easier :p

I'd recommend some but they wouldnt be overly similar to the bands you mentioned before

[Jake]

Unless she already knows of them, In Flames would be right up her street! They're Swedish and relatively known here amongst metal fans..but you could give that a go, or Sentenced, another Swedish band (slightly heavier).

[Bec]

Ooh, thanks! Any cd in particular that I should get or just whatever I can find?

[Evil Chris]

There are many you should get, I'm not sure which one. Just what ever you can find.

[Neo]

For contrast, try Colony, and Clayman. They are good. In my opinion.

[Jake]

Come Clarity, Whoracle and Colony I'd recommend for In Flames. There aren't any that I would warn you to steer away from either!

I don't know Sentenced so well, I would recommend 'Down' though - I've got that and it's pretty good!

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

have any of you guys seen metalocalypse? I watched a couple of episodes on saturday night and it was pretty funny.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

What is it?

[Marv From NZ]

For any Metalhead out there, you must watch the Metallica Documentary "Some Kind Of Monster". One of the best if not best music documentaries i've ever seen. Wanna know what it's like to be one of the most succesful and famous bands ever then watch this documentary, it's fudging interesting.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Yeah I should really watch that.
Been meaning to for aaaaaages (a bit like "this is spinal tap").

Ive seen snippits here and there on like SBS and a couple of entertainment shows reviewing it but it does look extremely interesting.

[Marv From NZ]

It is, it is. The sooner i better i guess. You'll love it....i found the Dave Mustaine bit pretty sad though.

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

metalocalypse is a cartooon of a fictional metal band. I think its only on some type of cable tv and there arent any dvds out yet.

[ridicu[LOU]s]

i mostly listen to hard rock and just plain rock i spose but there is the occasional RATM, QOTSA, metallica, SOAD, stuff like that- if that's classified as metal... there's so much music these days, it's FANTABULOUS!! haha

[KillingInTheNameOf]

metalocalypse is a cartooon of a fictional metal band. I think its only on some type of cable tv and there arent any dvds out yet.

So a Spinal Tap rip-off then :p

[KillingInTheNameOf]

s;46540']i mostly listen to hard rock and just plain rock i spose but there is the occasional RATM, QOTSA, metallica, SOAD, stuff like that- if that's classified as metal... there's so much music these days, it's FANTABULOUS!! haha

umm RATM, 'Tallica and SOAD would be metal
Havent heard QOTSA so i couldnt say :p

[hillaas]

Queens of the stone age Grumma.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Yeah I know; I still havent heard any of their songs :p

[Marv From NZ]

Nah they aint Metal. Just good ol' plain fashioned rock and roll.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Fair enough.

Anyway Marv. Have you heard many songs off Official Live: 101 Proof?

[Marv From NZ]

I've got it lol. I've had it for close to 5 years now. So yes....I know all of the songs from that masterful live Pantera album.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Tis rather good :) (from what Ive heard at least)

[Marv From NZ]

Fuck yeah. Pantera rules. Long live Dimebag.

[tainted_love]

The only metal band I listen to is Children of Bodom, what sort of metal are they?

[KillingInTheNameOf]

I guess you could call them a power/heavy metal crossover

on my computer I have em down as Heavy Metal (all 3 songs or whatever lol)
I dont mind em. Just dont like Laiho's vox

[ridicu[LOU]s]

Yeah I know; I still havent heard any of their songs :p

:eek: -GASP-

well you need to at least listen to ONE song. jebus.

no pressure.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Haha nah Im right atm thanks :)

:p

[Marv From NZ]

Don't think you'll like their stuff anyways.

[tainted_love]

I dont mind em. Just dont like Laiho's vox


The vocals aren't too bad but the guitar work is pretty fucking good.

[Jake]

CoB are amazing, I've missed out on seeing them live about 4 times now, it's getting annoying! I've heard from a few friends that they put on a great show though.

The vocals are awesome - it fits with the music, and the shredding is downright amazing.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

I know the vox fit in with the music; just dont like the gruff style :p

[Daniel]

i like metal its good well some of it anyway

i like

Dreamtheatre - saw drummer and petrucci at g3 :D
iron maiden - will see them when they come to Oz (hopefully soon)
mettalica - same with iron maiden
atreyu - wont see them live
motley crue - ummm no

[KillingInTheNameOf]

like all of them cept Atreyu, and Dream Theater can get pretty boring after a while. But their cover medleys are sweet :cool:

[Daniel]

yeah i argee but the drummer is pretty mad

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Portnoy?

Yeah he's pretty good. Well ability wise he's exceptional but like alot of musician's he struggles a bit to fully express his ability.

As my drum instructor described his drumming:


hh: x - - - x - - - x - - - x - - -
sd: - - - - o - - - - - - - o - - -
bd: o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o

then for something different . ..


hh: x - - - x - - - x - - - x - - -
sd: - - - - o - - - - - - - o - - -
bd: o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o

and something different again . . .


hh: x - - - x - - - x - - - x - - -
sd: - - - - o - - - - - - - o - - -
bd: o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o

[Daniel]

lmao

haha mmm i want to disargee with you but

your right
lol

[Jake]

Even if you don't like DT's style or songs, they're are most definitely talented - technically at least. I saw them live once, in a pretty big venue, which was all seated. I hadn't managed to get a seat with my mates (they were designated) and ended up sitting next to some nerds. They were so funny, and so shy with zomg a girl next to them lolz. Amazing night - Octavarium (song) was played in full.

Atreyu are awesome, good sing-a-long metal :p They also did a cover of 'You Give Love A Bad Name' - Bon Jovi which I highly recommend!

[Jake]

I need advice! I'm buying a present for my friend in England, I asked what music she was into and she said:
pretty much all metal
cky
marilyn manson

I have absolutely no clue about metal so based on those bands, could anybody please suggest a good aussie metal band that she'd like and probably wouldn't have heard of/have the cd of?

Evergrey - Recreation Day. She'd love this, almost guarenteed.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Even if you don't like DT's style or songs, they're are most definitely talented - technically at least


Haha no denying that. Just their music does tend to get a lil boring after a while (well at least for me)

Anything overly progressive or experimental is hard for me to listen to

[Higgins]

i put nu-metal, hardcore and hard rock.
my friends are getting me into lamb of god and pantera aswell

[Daniel]

yeah DT are very talented theres no doubt about that

steve vai gets a bit confusing after a while, you need to really listen... i think he plays in weird time sigantures?

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Yeah thats the whole point of Progressive Metal :p

[Daniel]

explain exactly Progressive?

[KillingInTheNameOf]

"Progressive metal is a genre of heavy metal music which shares traits with progressive rock including use of complex compositional structures, odd time signatures, and intricate instrumental playing. The high level of musical proficiency is often combined with a lyrical counterpart in the form of epic textual concepts, resulting in lengthy songs and concept albums. As a result of these factors, progressive metal is rarely heard on mainstream radio and video programs, much due to that the length of the songs are not suited for those medias."

[Daniel]

thats a good definition did you write it?

i can recognize prog metal but i dont really know how to explain it

thanks :)

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Wiki :p

But mine wouldve sorta been similar I spose

[Daniel]

lol yeah i suppose :P

[Marv From NZ]

like all of them cept Atreyu, and Dream Theater can get pretty boring after a while. But their cover medleys are sweet :cool:

Atreyu - You Give Love A Bad Name is a damn sweet cover i must say.

[Daniel]

i havent heard that one *goes and downloads it illegally*

[KillingInTheNameOf]

No respect :p

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

prog goes like this wank wank wank weird lyrics about some big story 23 minutes later its OVER!

anyway, people in brisbane should go to this new metal club opening 6 january! Its at where the 'underground' is/was on edward street.

copy and paste...


WEDNESDAY NIGHTS

Kento has already agreed to pull his "Altar of Metal" shows out of The Columbian Bar and start putting them on at the new venue, here's what the venue will be offering:

* 3 metal/rock/hard rock bands
* FREE entry
* FREE Pool
* CHEAP jugs of beer
* on the spot drink specials (like maybe for two songs jim beam might only be $3 so everyone rushes to the bar)


THURSDAY NIGHTS

Whilst it may not be this boards taste, we can't deny the hardcore/screamo scene a venue...we want this to be the home of all alternative music in Brisbane.

*3 metalcore/hardcore/screamo bands
* CHEAP entry (if we get good numbers, maybe then free)
* FREE pool
* CHEAP jugs of beer
* on the spot drink specials (like maybe for two songs jim beam might only be $3 so everyone rushes to the bar)

FRIDAY NIGHTS

Have you ever wanted a place to just chill, drink beer with mates and enjoy metal tunes? I know I have, so every second or so Friday night at Club Phoenix will have a metal DJ spinning tunes for your enjoyment, and every other friday will be any show that gets booked there.

* Metal DJ every couple of weeks ($5 entry)
* Live bands every other week (depends on the show, but we want to keep it to $10 most of the time)
* More giveaways
* More drink specials
* Open alllll night (5am license)

SATURDAY NIGHT

Saturday's will just be a huge live show each week, depending on which scene books it will determine what kind of music it is. To be honest, we'd like to see an interstate in their each week...and it's very doable.

So that's the week breakdown.

Some more information:

4mx6.5m Stage

12m main bar, with two other supporting bars...One in the Green Room!!

Girls toilets have 5 working stalls!

Three pool tables and Air Hockey table.

Lots of comfy seating without being away from the music

A camera will be fixed on the stage with the feed going to two huge plasmas within the venue.

2 blocks from train station!!

Buses still in the mall (200m)

[Daniel]

do you work/own there?

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

no...

Its just something really good for brisbane people, with HMB turning into a dance club. Actually, I wont be in Brisbane anymore then.

[Daniel]

ohh k it just sounded like you were advertising them

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

I was...but it was for the greater good.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Theres a couple of those around my area (outer Eastern Melbourne) but I havent bothered to find out about them yet.

And as for the hardcore/metalcore thing, both me and Marvan like that kind of music. Parkway Drive being a prime example

[Daniel]

cannibal corpse i dont mind (mainly because i think some of their songs have funny titles)

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Haha and Anal Cunt :p

[Daniel]

nah im talking more about

entrails ripped from a virgins cunt
and
i cum blood

:D

[KillingInTheNameOf]

You robbed a sperm bank cos you're a cum guzzling fag

Hitler was a sensitive man

I became a councellor so I could tell rape victims they deserved it

[Daniel]

haha

what about comeback kid?

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Dunno not really familiar with them

[KillingInTheNameOf]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenders_of_the_Hate

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Just_Gets_Worse

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/40_More_Reasons_to_Hate_Us

[Daniel]

which one is your favourite

[KillingInTheNameOf]

It just gets worse

Song titles are rofl funny :p

[Daniel]

yeah there pretty stupid

i just LOVE when someone asks what im listening to and i say "I cUM BLOOD or entrails ripped from a virgins cunt"

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Haha that would be pretty sweet

[Daniel]

yeah and when i see people with "cannabal corpse t-shirts"

im like YOUR SOO FULLY HARDCORE

[KillingInTheNameOf]

haha Chris Barnes is a pussy [/A.C. Quote]

Mind you I dont see how wearing a Cannibal Corpse t-shirt would make you appear more "hardcore" then wearing a TLE top

[Daniel]

well TLE = rocky

CAnabal corspe = DEATH METAL

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Yeah but people dont wear band tee's to look hardcore (well at least I hope not).
They wear them cos they like that particular band

[Daniel]

yeah but still :P

HARD CORE

[Marv From NZ]

Theres a couple of those around my area (outer Eastern Melbourne) but I havent bothered to find out about them yet.

And as for the hardcore/metalcorething, both me and Marvan like that kind of music. Parkway Drive being a prime example

I'm not really a big fan of Hardcore/Metalcore these days bar some exceptions like Parkway Drive, Unearth, who are simply awesome live.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

An Iron Maiden t-shirt would probably look more 'hardcore' then say a Metallica or Trivium t-shirt. But I'd suggest that Trivium and Metallica would be more hardcore then Maiden

[Marv From NZ]

haha

what about comeback kid?

They're pretty good live. Saw them last year.....shit last year? Man it doesn't seem that long ago.

[Marv From NZ]

An Iron Maiden t-shirt would probably look more 'hardcore' then say a Metallica or Trivium t-shirt. But I'd suggest that Trivium and Metallica would be more hardcore then Maiden

If you wanna look tough and get silly scenepoints, you should wear a Madball, Hatebreed or Pantera shirt. Goes down well with the kids.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Haha.

Thinking about it, Parkway Drive would be a perfect example of an actual Hardcore band who dont have, what Daniel would descibe as, hardcore clothing/band merch

[Daniel]

mmmm

still you know how you dont consider SOAD hardcore yet there still metalish yet you consider SLIPKNOT Hardcore even though there not

[KillingInTheNameOf]

huh?

lol what are you on about?

[Marv From NZ]

Haha.

Thinking about it, Parkway Drive would be a perfect example of an actual Hardcore band who dont have, what Daniel would descibe as, hardcore clothing/band merch

Alot of my scene/band/close friends have Parkway shirts, although yeah they're bit stock, but heck if it's black, than you're a winner.

Why are you two talking about what type of band shirts/designs are hardcore and what's not? :confused:

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Cos he said he saw some guy wearing a Cannibal Corpse t-shirt :p

[Marv From NZ]

Cool man! anyone that likes that band/music has got issues.

[Daniel]

LMAo

good well i happen to LOVE that band lol not

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Anal Cunt are 10x better anyway :p

[Daniel]

lol prob

you cant be serious

i half believe that thats a band

[KillingInTheNameOf]

They are a band lol

And I am serious

Im almost as serious as the band is anti-serious :p

[Marv From NZ]

Wan't an anti-serious band? Listen to Deja Voodoo. QUALITY....ABSOLUTE QUALITY. And Kiwis aswell....

[KillingInTheNameOf]

mmm the Coming Curse . ..
Hope i get the Alive In Athens 3cd set for xmas ^_^

[Daniel]

this world gets a little sader each day with bands such as Anal Cunt seriously
go check them out at

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anal_Cunt

[KillingInTheNameOf]

That's my favourite article on Wikipedia :p

[Daniel]

seriously thats just sick!!!:P

[worry_rock]

Ahahaha. Anal Cunt. They have such funny, albeit kinda wrong, song titles and lyrics.

My personal favourite is probably You Robbed A Sperm Bank Cause You're A Cum Guzzling Fag.

Man, I should give them a look sometime soon, been a while.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

See.
At least Riss has refined taste :p

[Evil Chris]

You Want Fucked Up Lyrics? Try Listening to System of a Down.

Pull The Tape Worm Outta Your Ass!!

[worry_rock]

I don't know heaps of SOAD, but I'd be willing to bet a fair bit that Anal Cunt can beat them in a fucked up lyrics competition.

For example, here are a few song titles:

- I Became A Counselor So I Could Tell Rape Victims They Asked For It
- I Sent Concentration Camp Footage To Americas Funniest Home Videos
- Your Kid Committed Suicide Because You Suck
- The Only Reason Men Talk To You Is Because They Want To Get Laid, You Stupid Fucking Cunt
- I Made Fun Of You Because Your Kid Just Died
- You're Pregnant, So I Kicked You In The Stomach
- I Got An Office Job For The Sole Purpose Of Sexually Harassing Women
- The Guy Who Shot His Kid Up With A.I.D.S. Is Awesome
- You Were Too Ugly To Rape, So I Just Beat The Shit Out Of You
- You Converted To Judaism So A Guy Would Touch Your Dick
- I'm Glad You Got Breast Cancer, Cunt

[KillingInTheNameOf]

To Evil Chris:

Yeah but that line actually has some kind of metophorical meaning to it.

Needles (i think its where its taken from) is about Daron's addiction to drugs a while back

[Daniel]

SOAD are cool :P

cigaro anyone?

[Evil Chris]

My Cock Is Much Bigger Then Yours!!!!

[Daniel]

my cock can walk right through the door :p

[KillingInTheNameOf]

With a feeling so pure it'll leave you screaming back for more :p

[Daniel]

jeez i could quote soad lyrics all day :p

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Haha Yeah same :p

Mind you I could also quote a few other bands all day :p

[Daniel]

i went through a SOAD faze a while back where id listen to there stuff over and over till i get sick of it :p

[Evil Chris]

Whos the crappest Metal Band?

I choose slipknot.

[Marv From NZ]

Trivium. :p

[Evil Chris]

Grumma's gonna have a heart attack...

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Trivium. :p

Pffft to you

Kiwi :p

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Found some decent enough bands on myspazzles lately:

www.myspace.com/battlelore - Spose you could call em death metal in the mould of In Flames but theyve also got Tolkien inspired lyrics!

www.myspace.com/kamelot - power metal like a biatch

www.myspace.com/demonsandwizards1337 - I strongly recommend this Jon Schaffer (Iced Earth) started project. the Fiddler in the Green is exceptionally good. the first half is a folk acoustic which transforms into an epic metal metal finish

www.myspace.com/knightsoftethysmetal - as the name might such theyre power metal

www.myspace.com/allthatremains - hardcore/metalcore much in the mould of Parkway Drive (in terms of where they lie on the scale)

www.myspace.com/iliummetal - another project of Lord Tim's. theyre essentially a toned down, more prog version of Lord/Dungeon and can be compared to the later Iron Maiden albums

www.myspace.com/firewind - hail from Greece and are a essentially a power metal band but are also able to create a more epic vibe

[Daniel]
