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.)

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.

    • Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge

      By Figure 8 Dash · Posted

      The data center gold rush has tossed all forms of sensibility and reasoning right out of the window. The craziest part being that AI infrastructure isn't driven by consumer demand. It's being driven by manufacturers to force AI onto the market, consumers be damned.

    • EU says AWS and Microsoft Azure should be treated as DMA gatekeepers

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      EU says AWS and Microsoft Azure should be treated as DMA gatekeepers by Pradeep Viswanathan Under the European Commission's Digital Markets Act (DMA), a company is presumed to be a gatekeeper if it meets certain quantitative thresholds. However, the Commission can still investigate and designate a company even if it does not meet the numeric thresholds, provided the service has a major market impact. The European Commission launched its investigations into AWS and Azure on November 18, 2025, to address unfair or anti-competitive practices in the cloud sector. Today, the European Commission has informed Amazon and Microsoft of its preliminary view that their cloud computing services, AWS and Azure, should be designated as gatekeepers under the DMA. The EC highlighted that Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure are the largest and second-largest cloud computing services in the European Union. Both of these platforms act as important gateways between businesses and their customers in the EU. The EC further mentioned that AWS and Azure have reached significant turnover, built large and entrenched user bases, and benefit from high switching costs and customer lock-in. Furthermore, their operational capacity and investments appear to have outpaced those of competitors. Teresa Ribera, Executive Vice-President for Clean, Just and Competitive Transition, said the following: It is important to note that the findings are preliminary and do not decide the final outcome. Amazon and Microsoft can now review the findings and respond to the Commission. However, if the Commission confirms its preliminary findings, it will formally designate Amazon and Microsoft as gatekeepers for AWS and Azure. Once designated, Microsoft and Amazon will have six months to bring their cloud services into full compliance with the DMA’s rules and regulations.
