I liked their reaction to Ne Obliviscaris, and also that they correctly identified Anthrax as terrible. Thanks for linking it MrBling, I had them on while doing other things yesterday and it was good stuff.

Poor Anthrax gets so much disrespect for being out of place in the Big 4 but Among the Living and Spreading the Disease are fantastic albums that I will defend to the death.

It's good. Not as accessible as Arktis (which was fuckin great) but still a solid album

Fistful of Metal is a loving great album, that never gets mentioned except by me. Easily the best Anthrax album.

Ihsahn loving rules. Dude has some good cleans that he only rarely got to flex with Emperor, like the ending chant to Inno A Satana, and you really get a sense of the incredible depth of his musical knowledge from listening to his solo stuff.

A grip of Judas Iscariot albums are getting a reissue, preordered a couple including the box set of his last album. Going to re-jam all of his discog, I've always considered the project great but never as great as everyone else seemed to.

Trip report from day 1 of desertfest berlin: Church of Misery are adequate these days, I guess. Nebula were indeed great. Weedeater loving owned, and if they replaced their kickass drummer who does stick tricks, they certainly picked a perfect replacement. I'm thinking it's still the same guy you guys were talking about. Monster Magnet were worse than I could have imagined. I kept thinking like "the Van Halen of stoner rock" but tbf Van Halen had their moments. "Bon Jovi of stoner rock"? I guess, but to my knowledge Bon Jovi don't play rambling 15 minute psychedelic talking blues encores. Who the gently caress listens to Monster Magnet. Show yourselves cowards

I... I like a bunch of their stuff? Not the recent crappy "remix" albums, those are pretty lame, but I'm pretty big on the new one that came out like a month ago.

I've never seen them live, though, so maybe they just disappear up their own asses on stage? I can see that happening. :shrug:

Yeah, sorry for the belligerent tone. It was mostly that encore that completely baffled me (can't figure out what the song is called). Though at least it provided a good spot for a piss break. Oh wait, I found it: it was Spine of God, but there's no way in hell the version they played was only 8 minutes long.

did the bass player for Church of Misery play his bass on the ground? They make some great music but whenever i see youtube videos of them the bassist has his strap so low the instrument is like below his knees lol. it always looks so goofy, but hey if the musics good the man can play his bass however he drat well pleases

Yeah, he mostly picked on the neck, too. It looked a bit silly (similar to Korn)

Al Cisneros from Sleep does the same thing, not the low-hanging bass part but he plucks the strings way up on the neck (tho he uses fingerstyle).

This makes sense. I've never seen them but I remember hearing that they used to get reeaaal weird with their encores. Like they'd play the more mainstream stuff first for the people who like that, and then play the spacey-er stuff for that subset of fans and themselves.

In my head it goes down kinda like Hank III shows, where he shifts from country > rockabilly > metal.

Al probably does that because Geezer Butler does it.

This new Unreqvited album is heavy in the weirdest way. It’s very much a dreamy atmospheric black metal album but the riffs + production give me a doom/death vibe. It’s hard to explain.

Monster Magnet is on and off for me. They can deliver some excellent songs, but sometimes they are just to slow.
Last album I listened to was Last Patrol, which had some excellent songs, particularly End of Time. If you can write an 8 minute song without dead parts, you are ok in my book.

Also, if you don’t like the Powertrip record I don’t know what to say.

I wanted to try to see Demilich’s early show then race over to see Electric Wizard Friday night but my friend with the Demilich tickets didn’t want to risk it so he sold them. :argh:

Other friend got tickets to both early and late shows, he’s a smart man.

Two teenagers in Colorado on a college tour got the cops called on them and kicked off the tour because they were wearing Cattle Decapitation and Archspire T-shirts.

Also maybe because they were native american but knowing skittish white moms it was probably the metal shirts.

I'm barely through the first track on the new Dimmu and.....ummm.....what the gently caress am I listening to? Like this is really poo poo, even by modern Dimmu standards.

Knowing skittish white moms it was probably both, but more the native thing. White people are definitely more afraid of brown people than metal.

Sammy Davis Jr. Jr. is also in repose.
There is/was a native thrash band from the Southwest. I think they are Navajo dudes. There name was a word in their language I think, but I don't remember what it is/what it translated to. Anyone recall them?

I feel you. I bet a lot of white ppl in this thread have experience sketching out people because they're wearing metal shirts though, I sure have. Got the cops called on me half a dozen times for the crime of "wearing metal shirts in a public park at 7pm".

My last and strangest metal shirt moment was getting turned away at the door for a party I was invited to because I was wearing a 1349 tank and apparently it made it seem like I was up to no good.
