I've been listening to alot of Nile recently. Can't wait for the new album! It's awesome to listen to some songs that are lyrically based on an area in which you are living (Mesopotamia)

 

[Wordlife]

so far album of the year for me goes to Killswitch Engage....it's really good, lived up to its hype, and sure as hell plays the good new songs GREAT live (I saw them Sunday at Rockstar Mayhem Fest with Bullet For My Valentine, Slayer, and Marilyn Manson)

The following are the writer's offered opinions. Some 20 years backs, when listing one's favorite bands, it was common to stipulate, "except for 'The Beatles'". I believe that Pink Floyd long ago displaced the Beatles as the #1 default band of all-time. But, I would go further. When listing one's favorite bands, I think it is only fair to assume as given 7 bands, then make your list. Thus, I would exempt the following bands from discussion and then make my list:

1. Pink Floyd
2. The Rolling Stones
3. The Beatles
4. Queen
5. Radiohead
6. Led Zeppelin
7. The Who

Then my "favorite bands" are:

1. Thin Lizzy
2. Motorhead
3. Mastodon
4. CCR
5. Cream
6. The Doors
7. Steppenwolf
8. Frank Zappa And the Mothers Of Invention
9. Pantera
10.Oasis

Austrian Death Machine~!

J-Dawg would love this, Tim Lambesis' side project, of him playing all the instruments. Plus with cameos from Adam D & Nick Hipa. The album is a comedy metal album, with all the song referencing an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, most usually a quote (Who Is Your Daddy, And What Does He Do?).

You forget I have the As I Lay Dying Dvd and there's a whole segment on Austrain Death machine. >.<

AND DEAR GOD I CAN'T WAIT FOR MAYHEM THIS WEEKEND (EXCEPT FOR THE FACT GOD HATES ME AND BULLET WON'T BE THERE ='[ BUT ILL SETTLE FOR SUBSTITUTE MUSHROOMHEAD) IT'S GUNNA BE AMAZING.

Side note Suicide Silences new album is Awe Fuckin Mazing starts right off wit the best song WAKE UP! Sorry real spazzy only 3 days til Mayhem.

I went to Mayhem in Indianapolis last weekend. It was alright. I went for Trivium, All that Remains, God Forbid, Bullet and Killswitch and they all had short sets (about 8 songs at most). I missed Trivium though because we were trying to meet Killswitch....which failed. And we had to leave All That Remains' set early because one of my friends got hurt. Not a Slayer fan, but i could still tell it was good. We (along with half the place) left before Manson played.

 

[Wordlife]

ok so All That Remains fucking OWNED when I went last Sunday... along with KSE, God Forbid, BFMV, and Slayer.... KSE was simply amazing.... and the day topped it off when I met them... here's some pix from Mayhem I took:

God Forbid!

HOWARD!

FRONT ROW LAWN! AS FAR BACK AS IT WAS, IT DIDN'T MATTER, IT WAS FUCKING EPIC.... WALLS OF DEATH WERE SICK!

When Pink Floyd was a little known band they played a 1,200 seat hall in my home town of Vancouver. That same Saturday night, CCR played an 18,000 seat arena. That was my first concert and the first and only time in my life I took LSD. It was a religious experience and a journey to "The Heart of the Sun". The light show and acoustics were dazzling and perfect. It was an occasion of a lifetime and I remember it vividly almost 40 years later. When the concert ended and I was tripping with excess, I went to the men's room. I was telling everyone within earshot that this band would in a few years establish itself as the greatest of alltime. At this point Dark Side, Wish You Were Here and The Wall were far from being released and Meddle had just been released in the UK. In the washroom were what I took to be two hippies were washing their faces and brushing their teeth. When they heard my propecies of Floydian supremacy, they smiled and said "Far out" and "Glad you liked it". It didn't sink in and my friend later had to tell me that they were the keyboardist and drummer, the late Richard Wright and Nick Mason. On Monday the official free press ran a full page review of the concert with detailed, glowing praise for each song. It concluded, "OH YEAH, CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL PLAYED VANCOUVER LAST SATURDAY NIGHT TOO".

^that's a really cool story man. I wish they would have been able to stay young forever, because what it would have been to see them with TODAY'S concert technology is unthinkable! I like to think that NIN carry on the Floyd-ian tradition of total concert immersion, through sound, lights and video. I just wish I could see Pink as they were in 1980, with today's technology.

WRA&BB is still my AOTY. Been a fantastic year for new music though. Muse's album is coming in a close second though.
