I want to vist Aokigahara Forest and do corpse paint photos there. It's a forest where many people go to commit suicide. Thus the perfect atmosphere.

So grim.......

While his drumming is unique, I still think they could find a good drummer to replace him. And let's talk about song-writting. I don't think Mike Portnoy was any good at it anymore. Just... listen up dude... he thinks playing with Avenged Sevenfold is cool !...

I don't think you understand. This isn't just a matter of whether Mike was the best drummer ever or not. This is a matter of him being a founding member of Dream Theater and just up and fucking leaving. I highly doubt they can replace Portnoy because it won't feel right. Dream Theater is well known for the closeness of their players; they've been playing for 25 years, and I can speak from experience in saying that when musicians play together for a period of time, even just a few years, they form a bond with their playing that can't be replicated or taught. Mike played with those guys for 25 years. Imagine the kind of synchronicity they have when they play. Mike was just as much a part of Dream Theater as Petrucci or Myung and it's going to be damn near impossible to find a replacement.

No, I think you don't understand. It really doesn't matter if they can or cannot replace him. If this is the end, then why should we cry about it? I remember reading some of the comments of people from the Hell, saying their most recent album was shit. I know some of you guys can't even stand any of the stuff they released in the 2000. All good things must come to an end. And if he was not feeling comfortable with the rest of the band anymore, than why should he have kept going? DT couldn't have put on a masterpiece if the guys were not cool with each others anymore. So maybe this is the end of DT, or maybe not. They could try to replace him. If it works well, then fine... and if it doesn't, than that's fine two. Even legendary bands will sooner or later, have to disband. And according to what a lot of people said about their most recent work... now was the perfect moment... At least that may prevent them from becoming a pop metalcore shit band like this band Mike seems to love soooo fucking much nowadays.

So maybe, that's the end of DT. Even if I love them a lot. It's better to end this right now.

Hey, you know, that's one band I never really looked into much aside from like one or two songs. I'll give them a listen. And Colonel Claypool's something or other.

They make amazing music. I suggest you start with Antipop. It's their best album when it comes to the instrumental part. But Sailling The Sea Of Cheese is pure fucking awesome two, especially cause your going to laugh your ass out for the whole lenght of the album :)

Id actually like to find a human skull to add to my collection of animal skulls and such. Even though they are human remains I would love to have a human skull, I remember hearing that King Diamonds Mic with the crucifix made out of bones is actually human bones. Is this true?

You won't find any skulls in that forest. All you could find there is rotten corpses. And I fucking swear that, as far as you are fascinated with death, you won't like it :)

Very grim. So grim it's crazy.

I'm listening to The Sword's new album "Warp Riders" for the first time sober. It's pretty good and I enjoy it. Just not as much as I enjoyed it when I was high.

Duff, I never told you the story of me sawing the head off a severly decomposing deer have I? I currently have a deer head rotting away in a bucket in the woods hanging in a tree.

Rotten corpses have much more to do with death than skulls. Skulls are related to life more than death, whereas rotten corpses aren't related to life in any way.

Anyway...

I am definitely a fan of Ron Jarzombek! Every project he worked on is amazing :)
Blotted Science, Spastic Ink, Gordian Knot, his solo project. The guy is simply amazing !!!

To be, or not to be. That, is the question.

It makes sense to me. At least, in the way I'm thinking about it. This could be totally different from how Delirium is thinking of it.

Skulls are kind of Life's version of death. We, the living, fetishize and romanticize death with the skull as its symbol. They're nice and clean. However, something actually dead, a rotting corpse, is the reality of death. It's gross and stinky and unhygienic and that's what death is. Skulls are just our way of making ourselves feel better about death.

Skulls are things that keep humans alive, rotting only happens after you die. Skulls have just become a symbol of death for some reason, though they don't have any more to do with death than a leg or an arm.

Your corpse doesn't rot for no reason. It rots so it can go back to nature. So in a way, it's still linked to life. And the skull alone, is in no way a symbol of life, even if it's a part of the human body. If I post the picture of an anus, you won't think "life" first... You will think "shit". If I show you the picture of a skull, you won't think "life". Cause you don't usually see the skull of someone who's alive...

Btw, I didn't say "it doesn't make sense" to this. I said that it doesn't make sense to say that the skull is more linked to life then the rotten corpse. However, my first statement has nothing to do wih this. I was just saying that his passion for death would find a limit when he would encounter a rotten corpse. Not because rotten corpse wouldn't be linked to death... of course, but because a lot of people will think something is really cool until they encounter the real thing.

So em... let's not get all confused with this shit...

Okay then !!

Looking at my most recent charts on last.fm, I realise that I'm having a Prog fever.

Any suggestions based on the things I'm listenning to lately?

Symphony X - The Walls of Babylon

Might I suggest Daath?

No he did. That was originally a point about how it'd be easy to replace Mike with another drummer. Dent's point was that Mike is more than just a good drummer in regards to Dream Theater.

Is a fascination with death ever not morbid?

And lol, 'rotting corpses aren't a good symbol of death'.

So, I said yesterday I was enjoying Vitalij Kuprij, but listening to him more, I'm finding how annoying and hokey his keyboard playing can be. Some of the stuff is cool, though. I heard a song using part of Moonlight Sonata with Michael Romeo on guitar that started out cool until the keys changed sound and got out of hand. It started to sound like something from a Sega Genesis game sped up.

I believe remains can (or could at a time) be found there, sometimes bones/skulls tinted green from moss or what have you, though I may be mistaken.

But uh...that's pretty kooky.

good that you got around to checking out Gordian Knot. The self-titled album is great, though I'm pretty sure Ron is only on one track. They had other impressive guests as well, such as John Myung and Steve Hackett. They even got one of the best drummers ever, Bill Bruford as a member. Sean Malone is good on bass in this project, but his solo album, Cortlandt, not so much.

You have to hear Apokatastasia. awesome, mostly instrumental, prog metal with beautiful violin playing.

Have you listened to Vanden Plas, yet? I like them, especially Far Off Grace and Christ.0. definitely the soft side of prog metal, though.

SO it's offical as of later afternoon. HAPPY VAGINAL SECRETION DAY TO ME!!!! ;D %u2665

Ani better not forget to make me a b day thread or ima rape him in the butt with my battle axe.

Hey guys, guess whose seeing Katatonia, Orphaned Land and Swallow The Sun tonight?

:D

Guys, I have a recommendation. Go listen to a few songs by Fozzy. They're amazing. AMAZING.
...
I admit it, I'm a fangirl.

Because Slipknot has a huge following right now.
But seriously...more votes than McCartney?

WTF
