I went to GIGANTOUR yesterday and I was really disappointed. Dream Theater was pretty good for the first two songs, the rest of their set seemd to drag on. Megadeth was ok, I could barely hear Dave's voice or his solos. I felt kinda bad for Fear Factory, they weren't really getting a whole lot from the crowd. I looked around and it looked like no one knew their songs but me and my friend.

I was really surprised that it didn't sell better here in Phoenix. The place was the most empty I've seen it. I was pretty disappointed, too. Fear Factory got a good reception here in Phoenix.

Did you check out any second stage bands?

Whitesnake is really good live nowadays, they give one heck of a show!

Yeah, they do! Coverdale sure has one of the greatest voices in the history of rock/metal! Quite funny, I watched them last fall, and standing at the first row, I started thinking "What the ****, is it singback?", cause he was singing a song with really high pitches but still didn't move his mouth particularly much, but it turns it out it was all his Botox :D :D

Sorry about that. I indeed missed your point and took your words in a different context.

You don't often see that on public forums. Blatently a very cool guy :)

I don't know much Opeth, but I watched a track on the dvd of the new england metal + hardcore festival 2003, and they seemed really doomey and suprisingly slow? Is that what the rest of their music is like? I'd hate to not check a band out further based on a misconception.

you seem to like trash metal, have you heard testament or annihilator, there some of my favorite thrash metal bands.

586295356[/snapback]

Thanks, will try to listen to them, any specific records? Although I love trash/m like old Metallica and Slayer, there's nothing like going in your car on a sunny day listening to Panama or Why Can't This Be Love or any other cheesy Van Halen-song, it just does it for me :D

Yeah I did, and I didn't really like any of the ones I saw, I didn't know who any of them were.

Malbojia, you were right about Onmyouza, I stated the wrong band. I meant to say Mono, now they are ambient Metal.

Metal bands, eh?

I like to think I listen to a wide range of metal, although I'm more a fan of Melodeath and Metalcore. Anyone checked out Enforsaken? They're a pretty awesome melodic death metal band (their guitarists are awesome).

guys The new Opeth album is leaked and so Is the new disturbed album....

Im not encouraging anything but.. Opeth is kicking my ass right now!!!

586299810[/snapback]

I've 'acquired' the new Opeth album. As per usual, Opeth never ceases to amaze. They're so dynamic with their music. (Y)

since this is a metal-thread is hardcore and metalcore ok??? since i and seena a glimmer from anyone of either

586288498[/snapback]

i would definitely be interested in hardcore & metalcore discussion as well, but maybe in a different thread. what does the creator of this thread think? they are both pretty viable forms of metal.

i'm talking bands like; 7 angels 7 plagues, a life once lost, as i lay dying, between the buried and me, 100 demons, a jealousy issue, adamantium, champion, arson, bane, bleed the sky, botch, converge, etc. (this list could go on for a long time.)

i dont really mind, just dont start arguing over whats better, people have there tastes and everyones diffrent, thats what makes the thread intresting.

as for jdb264c by testament, try "the new order" album. and annihilator anything really, but i like king of the kill, alice in hell, awakening the fury, carnival diablos.

Albums I look forward to:

Korn.

This will be really interesting to hear. The guys are starting the tour in just couple of days, so it shows that the moron didn't do much damage to the band's integrity. And judging by everything posted on Jon's blog, this will be an interesting album, because know they simply cannot risk having a bad album. Aaaarggh, man, I can't wait. The album is scheduled for an October release, with a single coming out in August, and Terry Date is mixing it.

Soulfly.

Yeah, I think this is the only album that was done by the same Soulfly (the same line-up from Prophecy). I also want to hear it because Eyesburn will be featured this time again (listen to Moses on Prophecy), only this time it will be only the singer, Kojot, and judging from that, this will be a straight up metal song, no reggae.

These two hold the top positions. Others include SOAD, Tool, even Staind. Limp Bizkit suck so much when it comes to descent information about what the hell is going on with them, I won't put them on the list.

    • TerraMaster F2-425 Pro review: a low-powered Intel NAS that ships with AI (OpenClaw)

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.

    • Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen If you are in the market for high-quality audiophile-grade over-ear headphones then Sennheiser's HD 600 are a great choice for sure, especially today on Prime Day 2026 as the product has hit its lowest ever price (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Sennheiser HD 600 has long been regarded as a reference headphone for listeners seeking a detailed and natural listening experience. It is an open-back design that is built around the idea of acoustic transparency which is essentially said to allow sound waves to move freely for a more spacious and accurate presentation by reducing turbulence and the type of distortion that can result from it. At the heart of the product is Sennheiser’s proprietary driver system featuring a 42 mm driver paired with a lightweight diaphragm and aluminum voice coils. The company says this design helps deliver fast response times and better articulate sound across the audible frequency range. Comfort and durability are also key aspects of the HD 600 as the headphones feature soft velour ear pads designed for extended listening sessions. The HD 600 comes with a detachable 3-meter cable, a 6.3 mm stereo connector, and a 3.5 mm adapter for compatibility with a wide range of audio equipment. The technical specs of the Sennheiser HD 600 are given in the table below: Specification Value Transducer Principle Dynamic, Open-Back Ear Coupling Circumaural (Over-Ear) Frequency Response 12 Hz – 40,500 Hz Sound Pressure Level (SPL) 97 dB (1 V) Impedance 300 Ω Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) < 0.1% (1 kHz, 1 V) Cable Length 3 m (9.8 ft) Connector 3.5 mm Stereo Jack Plug Included Adapter 6.3 mm (1/4") Stereo Jack Adapter Weight 260 g Magnetic Field Strength 1.8 mT Driver Size 42 mm Dynamic Driver Diaphragm Size 38 mm Get it at the link below: Sennheiser HD 600: $237.00 (Sold by Electronics Expo, Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $449.95) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

      So the card is targeted at headphone users - so the review should be from someone that uses this - maybe I can review a card next time.
