Can you imagine today's faggots who will never experience music the way it was in the 80's early 90's?

as i keep saying, for ever shit band I can show you a wonder of art that will give you goosebumps.

My latest infatuation, TORCHBEARER.

2011, from Sweden, this is beautiful



A road was leading on
To the land of eternity
For a man on his last travel
When he came to cross
Over a bridge broken
Dismounted and pulling heavy weight
Tremendous effort and struggle
This man did fail

Through grasped the piling firmly
And giving mighty shout
It still sank to the rivers step
And when the man returned he died
After the Takao river
After the Takao cross
After the Takao river
That man, he died

One man's death
Giving another one the gifts unforeseen
By destiny and by chance

I have collected metal from around the world since trading sepultura tapes with metal fans when I was 11. Metal is life.

You don't like Cannibal Corpse? Personally, I think their smash hit "entrails ripped from a virgin's cunt" is a masterpiece. Yeah, they fucking suck. They're more like a novelty band.

meshuggah is fucking awesome. :2 cents:

I want to listen my old Jackyl CD's!

emo is not metal and visa versa; just like heavy metal isn't death metal or metal for that matter.

have a listen to bleeding through, august burns red, parkway drive, suffer well (this isn't emo, it's NEW "nu" METAL)

My guitar rock vocabulary ends at around the mid 80's. Kind of before everyone decided it was cool to detune some whole steps, play as fast as possible and swallow their tongue to get the right voice. Some of that is ok in small doses.

:thumbsup Well said sir

Again, those saying it died a long time ago haven't been listening to anything new -- and if you have listened and still think it sucks, then you haven't dug deep enough.

What's on your playlist? I need some new tunes!

Few songs get me as pumped up as "I Speed At Night". http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w...HeadBanger.gif

"Caught In The Middle" is my favorite song on Holy Diver.

PS- I Speed at Night is on The Last in Line, not Holy Diver.

Brian Posehn is the man.

By the way Lamb of God is the only real metal to come around since Pantera.

Las Vegas' own KREEP

Like i said earlier, it's all subjective -- the idea of what is true metal and what isn't. I listen mostly to sludge and doom metal, with some epic/pagan here and there. There's the stuff in the post I made on page one of this thread, but here's some others.























This may not be your tastes, but if you look hard enough at blogs and youtube, you can find metal in the genre you like that gets you going.

listen to all of these links and tell me there's not someone's work you can explore further.

i can't stand the vocals in a lot of new metal stuff. too much cookie monster.

it has always been shit

more KREEP



with a special appearance by Metal Sanaz

I love me some cookie monster vocals...

Yep, and I'm still hella paid (see sig). Don't judge a book by it's cover.

You like the Disturbed.

:321GFY

Ha, I was in that band with Brett. Looks like they are doing ok. I never liked the music that much, just played for fun.

Reminds me to add my video from "The Big 4"

I had a blast :thumbsup

Awesome. It looks like Brian is back with them now and Ivan and Allen have left.

Were you with them before they were the backing band for Deadly Seven? Trying to remember the lineup then. Their lineup changes more than Green Jello's lineup.

I don't really even see the difference in those two pics lol..... clowns are clowns...

Nah, the only band I play in actively is Dick Delicious and the Tasty Testicles

I sure miss Ronnie. At least we have his music.

For the record, there are some decent newer metal bands like Gojira, Mastodon, Volbeat, Ghost, Toxic Holocaust, Municipal Waste - but most of those guys are either older cats that finally made it or younger guys emulating (or in some cases) staling from older bands. The guys in Mastodon are good friends of mine and they are all 38-40 years old. They are not kids. Nile was brought up a few times too, I like them as well -- they formed in 1989.

This is the future i'm affraid.But she is good at headbanging :1orglaugh


:Oh crap

:( :( :(

Yeah, a lot of those guys have been kicking around for years.

We had a nice scene going here in Vegas for awhile, then politics got in the way with the venues that actually allowed (real) metal bands to play and it went to shit again.

music isn't what it used to be in general in my opinion.

Probably one of the hardest metal songs to come out in the last decade.:thumbsup

so true :thumbsup

Yeah, Vegas has a surprisingly good rock scene
