Anyone here been listening to the new Megadeth album? I've avoided them in the past because I can't stand Dave's voice but this album is kinda growing on me. Has good riffs and the lyrics aren't half bad. If only Metallica were still going strong like this.

Looks like the first two parts of the new documentary by the guy who did Metal: A Headbanger's Journey and Global Metal are premiering on Much More Music in Canada tonight. His first two documentaries were pretty cool, probably worth checking out the new one.

QPZIL posted:What's the new one about? TV guide listing says the first two parts are about "Pre-Metal" and "Early Metal", so I'd guess it's a more indepth history of metal. Edit: Just watched up to the first commercial break, looks like they're starting with a discussion of where metal came from, then will be launching into a study of metal subgenres over several parts. Should be fun, Sam Dunn has a knack for getting tons of musicians to do interviews. BGrifter fucked around with this message at 04:13 on Nov 26, 2011 |

I was thinking about checking out their discography, and don't really remember any discussion about them.

So after seeing the lineup for Hellfest, my boyfriend and I have decided that we just HAVE to go (Darkspace are definitely on my bucket list of 'bands to see before I die'. Not to mention Arcturus, and a million other amazing bands). Any goons been before? Any advice/warnings to offer? And what's the best way of getting to Clisson from London? We were thinking of getting the coach as my beloved is a bad flyer, and this way we don't have to worry about baggage limits etc. But if there's a better way, please let me know  e: sp EvilMoJoJoJo fucked around with this message at 18:30 on Nov 26, 2011 |

I went to my first festival in 2000, and go to one every year so don't need any tips on how to prepare for/have fun at one, but would appreciate Hellfest-specific info, as I haven't been before.

Anthrax is a "fun" metal band, they put on a hell of a live show and you can tell they're having fun. I just saw them with Death Angel and Testament a few weeks ago, and saw them last year with Megadeth and Slayer. Great show each time.

Warnings: it rained the whole time, so waterproof the tent, bring some plastic to lay down and warm clothes.

Has good riffs and the lyrics aren't half bad. Its grown on me a lot after the first couple listens. I think Megadeth's biggest problem at this point is they just need a good drummer. Shawn Drover is one lifeless bastard and his mediocrity is like a hole in a ship. Hearing David Ellefson back sounds pretty drat nice though, his tone is loving awesome and way up front in the mix.

Anthrax is also more unapologetically nerdy than the rest of them. I mean, pretty much all metal has a strong streak of geekery to it, but Anthrax is doing songs about Judge Dredd and hiring Alex Ross to do album covers and poo poo.

Cowboys from Hell might just be my favourite old metal album. There is literally not a bad song and unlike most old metal it actually sounds good (Listening to the 3 CD remastered edition.)

I spent a year living in Brittany - the weather was pretty bad, now you come to mention it... I've been incredibly lucky and never been to a really rainy festival - Leeds in 2002 and Bloodstock in 2010 were damp, but not that bad - relentless rain must be soul-sapping. I'll prepare accordingly.

Just cold, mostly! I was already in boots, but I only packed tshirts and shorts! Huge mistake, haha. Some people suggested bringing plastic to lay down in the tent under sleeping bags and stuff, and I'd suggest bringing jeans and shorts and a jacket or two. NIghts were freezing, but if you're loaded, you won't notice so much

Splash Damage posted:I recently got into Arckanum. Any other good black metal bands like that, besides the obvious classics? Here are some albums I've been listening to lately that you might like: http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Amestigon/Sun_of_All_Suns/233187 http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Antaeus/Blood_Libels/126448 http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Oranssi_Pazuzu/Kosmonument/317460 For a more 'accessible' sound I definitely recommend the Amestigon album. Antaeus is a GREAT band too. 'Cut Your Flesh and Worship Satan' rules as well.

Dyscrasia posted:Finally got a chance to give this a go. Holy crap this sounds like Death. Even the style of the solos is Chuck. I've only heard a couple songs, not bad so far. Coroner - Mental Vortex is also extremely Death-like, and jaw droppingly awesome. Like Rush and Slayer doing an album together

I know there's a few Florida people here, so jsut to update.... The main Orlando venue, Club Firestone, will no longer be doing shows. As such, our shows got scattered all over the state. Most of the Spring tours will be at the Orpheum in Tampa. The Cro Mags Dec 2 show got moved to Brass Mug, Tampa. Obscura/Abysmal Dawn's Orlando date (dec 4) is at the Haven. The Tampa date is the same. The Mayhem show got moved to a shithole called 321 Local in Cocoa. It's small as poo poo, and I honestly think there's a chance Mayhem will take one look and refuse to play, since it's smaller than the Brass Mug and I highly doubt their stage set will even fit.

Morbid Florist posted:I heard Appetite For Destruction songs played on the area classic rock radio station here. I died a little that day. The music-on-tv channels I get are the most hosed up. They play stuff from the 90s as oldies or classic rock, like Slipknot and barely-radio-friendly nu-metal stuff. The metal station also plays Asking Alexandria and Staind, it's completely unpredictable and really confusing. There's also a jazz channel that will occasionally get stuck in a mood of classic rock or blues with no jazz whatsoever. My point is that people involved in broadcasting music, especially with the decline of radio, can often be really detached from it.

It really is an awful tiny shithole who's usual bands are deathcore and bad indie rock. Ya, Mayhem isn't gonna play. They don't serve liquor either, just beer. Any news as to why the Firestone isn't doing anymore shows? That was literally the only larger venue doing proper metal in Orlando.

Weaponized Cum posted:Why can't you do your shows in Ft. Lauderdale or Miami? There are smaller venues than Revolution & The Culture room around here. My shows? I'm not a booker, these aren't my shows. I just like it when people go to stuff so bands come back, so I'm just promoting. Also, if I had to guess, I'd say because Ft. L and miami are far as hell, expensive to drive to and the crowd could suck. I've been to some dead rear end shows there. It's probably not worth the gamble. So there's one FL date because people will drive once and congregate, the band can probably break even and it's less of a drive back out. If the band has a driver, that driver can only drive like...8 or 9 hours before he has to take a legally mandated break. Shows have been cancelled because TMs don't take that into account. It's what, 12 hours from ATL to Miami?
