who else here likes blind guardian, whats your favorite album by them

I just got the new Children Of Bodom single, In Your Face. Its ****ing awesome. I really hate the song Oops I did it again, but COB really made their cover of it much better. I guess it's all the growls and pinch harmonics that make it better. The title song In Your Face is unlike anything COB has ever done, well, what I mean is that its more along the lines of the song Sixpounder or Trashed, Lost, & Strungout. It's a great song!!

That guy goes through hairstyles like micheal jackson goes through noses

Mike liked it. He laughed and joked, "Neal Morse has that shirt!" Mike's shirt was funny, too. It says "Male Escort Service" on the left patch, and "Dick" on the right. (Y) I think we have very similar senses of humor.

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.

And by moron are you referring to Head? Why are people damning the guy for doing something that he feels is the best for himself and for his family? I used to like Korn a lot, but their style changed too much for me to really like them after Life Is Peachy. I can't condemn Head for his choice to leave the band and to pursue what he feels will make him happier, to be there for his kids, to rebuild his family, and to follow his beliefs. If you ask me, I think he is the biggest man from that group for doing what he did. Everyone in that band will have their own side of the story, and in the end it doesn't matter who says what. Actions speak louder than words.

[Damrock2002]

Just to join.... I have backstage tickets to Rammstein. Just like to share that with all of you.

Yeah I spose Head is alright for doing what he wants to do, I can't argue with that.

Indeed, that hair is crazy :laugh:

I thought it was awesome the first time, when he cut his hair after he had long hair for years... but he's going more crazy by the day, can't really say he looks very metal anymore :p lol

Btw, is it my eyes, or is Mike's beard blue?! :blink:

no, are you joking? i gotta keep my eyes out for this one. that would be very interesting and i'm certain they would do a vast improvement to the song.

Awesome. I saw them twice on IAW, but I never hung around to meet them.<kicks self>

Yep. Platinum. I don't recommend it. If you can catch them on tour when they do the Octavarium tour, you'll probably have just as much time after the show as I did, if they show up to sign for fans. The only good thing was having 2nd row-center for all the bands, but that wasn't anywhere near worth the money I paid. So I give an enthusiastic 2-thumbs down for platinum package "experience." The only thing platinum about the experience was the platinum reaming($$) they(FanFire) gave me to have it. Never again.

I am not joking. Just between all of us, the single got leaked 2 weeks early. The only song I dont have that's on the single is the censored version of In Your Face. But I dont really care because I dont want to listen to a censored song.

I'm gonna guess it got leaked because of release parties and they were handing it out, I don't know, just guessing.

well, i think the only thing the platinum package is good for is meeting petrucci. i love the guy and he can do no wrong in my opinion but the last time they were here he refused to come out of the bus and sign autographs because he was too tired. portnoy came out and signed for all the fans but he said that petrucci retired for the evening. if i remember correctly he's done that several times, but what can you say?

well, thanks for the mini-review of the platinum package. i've always wondered about it and i've even considered it a time or two but now i know to steer clear of it.

Can't really blame him, if you just played 3 hours straight. I'm a musician myself and I know how hard it is...

Petrucci also has these things quite fast, Biaxident anyone? ;) They were recording Liquid Tension Experiment 2, and Petrucci got so tired at one point, they had to call an ambulance for him, because he had a severe headache from all the freaking on the guitar. The doctors gave him Biaxin, and so the song Biaxident was born :p

[Apollo]

interesting story and it's a great song

586340748[/snapback]

Indeed :yes: Great song, I tried covering it with my band, but the bassguitarist didn't quite feel like it :p Me and the guitarist had already learned the whole song :laugh:

Btw, I believe this story was in the booklet from the CD... but I could be mistaking... :)
