It's been a varied night
Love it!
Varying what I listened to opened me up to so much more. I'm going to 6 very different concerts in the next month and I can't wait for every single one of them: Primal Scream Chic Depeche Mode The Pharcyde Queens of the Stone Age Pixies
Been discovering and rediscovering bands this week. Have listened so far today to -
Death Angel - The Dream Calls for Blood. This may be the trash release of the year. It's not game changing in anyway but its the best trash album I have heard in a long long time. Catchy choruses, gang vocals, pummeling riffs it's all here. Special Edition comes with a good cover of Heaven & Hell by Black Sabbath too
Carcass - Surgical Steel. Comeback album of the year? Quite possibly. Swansong was not the way the Carcass legacy should have ended, it was a woeful album. Drum-sound on this one is a bit clicky (I hope Andy Sneep gets hit by a number 10 bus soon! Seriously, he seems to be producing every metal album ever!) but they sound reinvigorated. Sonically is pretty faithful to the Heartwork era, but with even more groove.
Impaled Nazerene - Suomi Finland Perkele & Pro Patria Finlandia. Finnish Black Metal / Grind / Punk Fusion. If you have never listened to black metal before, Impaled Nazarene is probably not the best place to start. These guys have also been banned in many countries, and just listen to one of their CD's and you will understand why (ridiculously blasphemic lyrics). So if you are pretty sensitive to that kinda thing I would also avoid! But despite the aural abuse and general abrasiveness of their music, I actually find them really catchy. And I am also a sucker for the more controversial side of music.
Manowar - Hail to England. Yes its cheesy. Yes its ridiculous. Yes lots of songs about how awesome they/heavy metal are/is. But I don't care. Manowar are ridiculous and awesome. I could listen to Blood of my Enemies all day long.
Hatebreed - The Divinity of Purpose. I love Hatebreed. Jamey Jasta is one of the best frontmen I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. This is a really good album, among their best. Every song is a shout along anthem. Music to really get the bloody pumping.
And finally Frost* - Milliontown. Now defunct British prog rock band. 6 songs at over an hour. Really clever music, although the songs are long they never drag, lots of clever tempo changes but it never gets lost in a meandering mess. If you like prog rock, or are a fan of more melodic music, I recommend them.
The two most powerful warriors are patience and time…so remember: great achievements take time, there is no overnight success.

Just listened to Carcass. I liked it! That album reminded me of Neuraxis - The Thin Line Between.
How have I not heard Frost* before? It's amazing! It's like Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, Pain of Salvation and many more. I'll be buying this album for sure. It looks like they're back together too!

I know I'm quite new to them myself. Someone at work mentioned them in passing when we were chatting about music, so made a note of the name and used the almighty power of youtube. Just wow. That album is amazing! Good recommendation that one!
And yay if they are back together! Would love to hear more stuff from them

Richard Cheese. He's covered songs like Down With The Sickness by Disturbed, People = Sh*t by Slipknot and Smack My Bitch Up by The Prodigy. Well worth a listen.
I have an odd habit that when I stay up all night and go to work the next day exhausted, I like to listen to Nine Inch Nails - "Every Day is Exactly the Same" on a loop. I haven't slept in about 29 hours. I'm pumped full of caffeine to the point where I am edgy as all chocolate fudge cake and really damned paranoid. I quite like the feeling to be honest. Feel totally detached.
I'm hoping NIN are, among others, announced for Download 2014. I want to see Aerosmith. I haven't seen them before. I want to see Linkin Park again. But only 2 of the 6 currently announced bands tickle my fancy. I really enjoyed the Saturday night in 2011 where it was Mr Big (okay), Cheap Trick (amazing), Twisted Sister (fantastic) then Alice Cooper forming a kind of classic stage for the evening.
lately I am hooked on Terroriser magazine and their regular streaming of latest metal fairy cakes. Timie to time I found awesome things there.
from those that I liked:
Soltice - Death's crown is victory (old British band returning to music)
and
Kuolemanlaakso - Tulijoutsen (Finnish doom group and their second album)

I'm big on guys like: Flying Lotus Machinedrum Hudson Mohawke Samiyam Lone Ras G
I still love listening to: Marshall Jefferson Yellow Music Orchesta Kraftwerk 808 State - Pacific State is probably be one of the greatest electronic tracks made. I had it on vinyl Prodigy FatBoy Slim
I love music in general, but just something about electronic/instrumentals that are so enticing to me.
I'm listening to Machinedrum right now, I need to listen to Beck's new album...

I'll be out, but it's recording on TiVo. It'll go down one of two ways.
1. They think "okay, It's a pop festival, let's not do anything too mental." And play mostly Black Album/Load era stuff, maybe Whiskey in the Jar (I like that stuff, nothing wrong with it, imo)
Or,
2. "Let's blow their f*cking minds" and play mostly Ride/Master/Justice stuff, with Lords of Summer and maybe something else new.
Which all depends on who wins the argument, James or Lars.
Yeah think Lars said the set list would be decided just before they go out like they used to. So I guess it depends how they are feeling before the show. (Hoping for more "blow their minds" though )
Just watched it, it's a shame they went for option 1, but they at least threw Creeping Death and Master of Puppets in there. I wasn't expecting Cyanide, but it was welcome for once.
Agreed, would have been nice to hear some more Justice & Kill em All, that said I enjoyed it on a whole & The memory remains was a surprising highlight.
My favourite festival I have ever been to! Absolutely lovely little site. Did you have fun? The weather was awesome this weekend too.
I'm currently catching up on what I missed at T in the Park so the family are going to have to get used to watching Biffy Clyro over and over.
It was awesome! It was my first ever festival and I absolutely loved it. Didn't actually know too many of the bands because I mainly went along as my friend was originally going on his own but it was such a great atmosphere to soak up and I discovered some stuff that I really liked. Definitely going back next year!

The title of this thread has bugged me for 12 pages now, but seeing as the OP hasn't posted in the forum since last year I don't think it'll be fixed anytime soon...
Anyone heard the new Slash single? As a huge Alter Bridge fan, I wasn't that impressed with the first album they did as a group (Apocalyptic Love). This single, however, has me stoked for the new album. Both are called World on Fire, for those wondering.
The thread title bothers me too, but I'd forgotten about it tbh.

The Computers (my new favourite, like Elvis on steroids!)
Bit shouty and that riffing is more Status Quo than Scotty Moore, but any band that records a song called "Clap Your Hands, Say F**king Yeah!" is alright with me
