Brian Fowler Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I'm definitely going to have to give that a listen later, because that's one hell of a group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throughsilver Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Also, I am really getting into High On Fire. I have heard songs from Matt's side band Kalas. I was wondering, are any of the songs from his previous band, Sleep, worth checking out? Are you insane? YouTube Sleep's Dopesmoker and check back in an hour. This. Oh so very much this. Yeah. Like asking if Ozzy's songs with Black Sabbath are worth checking out And those Mercyful Fate albums are great... but if it's yellow or red vinyl, I don't give a shit how much it weighs - it'll sound like my arse. What if your arse sounds like Apollo's lyre? So that was you on curry night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 So, two notable things today: 1.) It's the 4th anniversary of the death of metal's greatest front man, Ronnie James Dio. Throw up the devil horns, long live rock n roll. 2.) Tim Lambesis, front man for Christian metal/hardcore band As I Lay Dying, was sentenced to six years in prison for attempting to hire a hitman to murder his wife.

Curt McGirt Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Yep, four years. I still remember that day. My best friend, who I was living with at the time, came in my room and told me. I immediately put on Heaven and Hell and bawled my eyes out while he set next to me on my bed, incredulous at my reaction. RIP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 In the spirit of that very personal revelation, this is something I've played several times today. Ronnie himself disparaged it as "a drum and guitar exercise". I don't know what he was talking about. That is some of the most vengeful work from Blackmore ever, and it has great vocal harmonies that take up as much of the song as the solos. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 That's the only Rainbow song I know but it kicks the living shit out of anything Judas Priest did in the 1970's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Man, you need to get on Stargazer. Just an amazing track, probably the best non-Black Sabbath metal song of the 70's. (But Judas Priest put out Stained Class in the late 70's, dude, which is one of the best albums of all-time. They were probably the best band in the world there for a few years before Maiden and Metallica passed them, and Sabs regrouped with Ronnie and Ozzy started Blizzard.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Sad Wings of Destiny by Judas Priest is the best album ever recorded by anyone ever. Bar none, bottom line, period. Personal preference, I know, but the drama of the Queen-esque balladry mixed with the incredible advancement in metal stylings from the basic Sabbath is great. And I have the greatest emotional attachment to it... just because it's amazing. My other top five albums are probably Blue Oyster Cult - S/T King Crimson - Red The Stooges - Funhouse Slayer - Hell Awaits Celtic Frost - Morbid Tales okay well that's six too fucking bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I love how the judges and, like 90% of the audience just have no clue what to make of it. I wish I understood French just to know what the judges are saying after she's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Magnificent 7 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 You're in luck because I know some French. They said the double bass needed to be tighter and guitars were a bit thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 I went to Indianapolis to see Eyehategod last night and it was a corker of a show. The boys played amazingly well (and busted out "Serving Time in the Middle of Nowhere", my favorite of their songs along with a sadly missing "Depress"), Mike yelled at the soundman multiple times while Jimmy egged him on which probably got dude fired, I bought their new album and it is waaaaaaaay better than Confederacy of Ruined Lives was IMO, and I got this. Enabler was really good and I guess I guess I forgive them for having a member of Fall Out Boy in their band. Coffinworm was a little boring and I missed the other two bands due to lateness and catching up with people, but that was a hell of a show. If you can catch them on tour with Enabler and Ringworm, do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazorbladeKiss87 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Enabler was really good and I guess I guess I forgive them for having a member of Fall Out Boy in their band. I actually don't think he's in the band anymore. If I'm remembering correctly (and there's every chance I'm not) they have a new drummer. They're pretty killer though.
