I hope the Opeth concert was good and hopefully you'll enjoy yourself at the Helloween + Gamma Ray concert. I wish I saw them back in January, but was unable to. I'm wondering when Blind Guardian will be touring again. My sister's very interested to see them next time they visit Britain.

Agreed, last night it was someone nobody band I never heard of that was shit then High on Fire and then finally opeth started playing at 10 PM and they played till 1:30 AM.

The crowd was shit besides a couple cool teenagers I met and the first band was shit(High on fire was OK.) but Opeth made up for it all with sheer awesomeness.

The only thing I wish for tonight is that the audiance is better.

I actually have a huge hangover and am wicked tired now, I might end up not going to the concert tonight if I don't feel better.

I hope I feel better in these next few hours.

Blind Guardian is the kind of Band I would love to see live, but I don't think they like to tour.

At 9/18/08 05:05 PM, Bahamut wrote: I'm sorry, but I found that hilarious.

Its understandable.

My only complaint about MusicZone is that they didn't have a bigger selection of albums than Zavvi and HMV do.

Zavvi have a big selection :S?
Maybe the Liverpool one does, Huddersfields is crap in terms of Metal.

I don't think anyone mentioned this book before (most especially the cover art), but someone showed me this just before and the cover interested me. Does this look familiar to you? :P

Haha, nice. Which came first, that or Blackwater Park?

They've not been to England in quite a while if my knowledge serves me correctly.
They were going to play Bloodstock last year but pulled out. But I too would love to see them, even though they'd never play And Then There Was Silence :(.

And I'm on broadband again at uni :D.

Bump :(.

I'm discovering the true powers of last.fm by listening to some bands I've heard mentioned here a lot and have always been intriqued about but couldn't listen cause of dial up. So I've been checking out Sleep, Sunn O))), Earth and Om.

Sleep: Listened to Jerusalem, Pt. 1. Seems alright, I reckon I could listen the entire Dopesmoker album. I think I prefer the sound to Electric Wizard... minus Funeralopolis and Dopethrone, of course. I'll check them out more, fo sure!

Sunn O))): No full tracks :(.

Earth: Same, but there was too songs, but they weren't Metal and I don't think they were the Metal Earth.

Om: I'm listening to At Giza and I'm loving it :D.

Well, Earth ceased to really be "metal" after a couple of albums. But all the songs on the last.fm are by Earth.

Fair enough.
Sounded nice... just wasn't what I was expecting.
I wanted to listen to Sunn O))) the most, no idea what Drone sounds like :(.

I really dig Earth, so i'm glad you're liking them.

Honestly, I couldn't really get into Sunn O))). I've got Black One and the collab with boris, but it's not all that interesting. I kind of forget that i'm listening to it when it's on, and i don't want to listen to music to forget about it.

At 9/20/08 08:04 PM, D3NTATUS wrote: I really dig Earth, so i'm glad you're liking them.

I like mellow music, so I enjoyed those two tracks. I can't judge the rest based on a 30 second preview though.

The fact that they're so love/hate makes me all the more intrigued about them.

It's pretty cool. It's really minimalist, but it stays interesting for the whole song.

To everyone:

I got a Rotting Christ album (A Dead Poem) and it's amazing. I think I found my kind of Black Metal.

I like Rotting Christ for several reasons:

1. They're Greek.
2. I've seen them live (my cousin dragged me a while back)
3. They're very atmospheric, but in a gothic way

I want more bands like them.

At 9/20/08 11:04 PM, Idiosyncratic wrote: I want more bands like them.

Try Agatus, Zemial, and Varathon, as we discussed yesterday. Also give Necromantia and the Elysian Fields a try.

been listening to some bathory, not too bad.

I downloaded the Guitar Heroes album,
the one with guitarists from Finland.
It's got the drummer from Wintersun backing the songs with sick beats, too.
If anyone's heard this, it's fucking insane, amirite?.

They'll probably do an international tour when their acoustic LOTR album comes out, without a doubt. I can't wait to see them, either. Their last tour I missed cause I had to see my family for Thanksgiving. Then I missed meeting them cause my dad said "No" to me going to Comic-Con this year. Seriously. Its ridiculous.

You must listen to a hell of a lot more then.

Sorry I haven't been posting much lately, I went over my download limit so now I'm capped.

So yeah I won't be posting much over the next 2 weeks. Until my net goes back to normal.

I can't see why don't want to tour. Right now, I think they're working on their new album(s).

Well, there's a decent selection of CDs in Liverpool Zavvi. It has much more than what MusicZone had.

Maybe the Liverpool one does, Huddersfields is crap in terms of Metal.

I dunno what's happening, but I think Zavvi will be having a new shop because of the new Liverpool shopping centre. HMV have a place in there and it doesn't look bad, but of course, it's shit compared to Oxford Street HMV.

Surprisingly enough, Blackwater Park. The book was only out last month. o__O

I believe the last time they were here was 2006.

also, the LHC is down for like two months because some magnet's shit is all retarded.

Thankfully Tom Hanks is on the case!

I'm listening to the other track from Om's 'Conference of the Birds' and while I like Electric Wizard and November's Doom in a kind of half-hearted 'I'm liking Doom' type way I actually really love this.
I think I might prefer early Electric Wizard (than Dopethrone) than Dopethrone cause if I remember correctly I listened to Black Butterfly and it had a similar ethereal style of singing to it.

If Blind Guardian played;

The soulforged
And then there was silence
ANd the story ends
Turn the page
The punishment divine
Into the storm
Another Holy war
Bright eyes
Hand of Blood
Sadly sings destiny
The Bards song
Battlefield

That concert would be immaculate.

More rambling about Opeth.

I DID go to the Helloween + Gamma ray last night, it was amazing!

A lot better than the Opeth concert I went to two days ago.

Both bands sound alot better live than they do on their albums, like seriously.

Espically at the end when both Gamma ray AND Helloween came out on the stage at the same time and played several songs like I want out at the same time!

Easily the best concert i've ever been to, if any of you have a chance to go to one or both of these bands live I HIGHLY recommend you do it!

I'd want ATTWS, Nightfall, A Dark Passage and The Maiden and the Minstrel Knight for it to be perfect.

Rotting Christ is good in small dosages, I wouldn't want to listen to them every day.

I'll have to check out some of these HBM bands too now I can.
