@Diabolic: Glad to hear they played some stuff of Orchid. I am seriously getting goosebumps just thinking about hearing Under the weeping moon, Forest Of October or some Morningrise material live. :)

Was Gene Hoglan at the show at all?

This may sound bad, but can someone suggest some "good" Doom Metal bands. I'm trying to figure out how it sounds and whether it's any good.

I don't really care for most of the names mentioned so here's some of my recommendations.

Electric Wizard (THE Doom metal band IMO)

Candlemass (Ancient Dreams is what you should look for)

My Dying Bride (Only album I like of theirs is As The Flower Withers)

Sleep (Look for Dopesmoker, it's amazing)

Spirit Caravan

Sun O)))

Cathedral

Orange Goblin

St. Vitus

They originally were gonna do the Chronological Set, but they didn't have all the effects pedals, so they had to adjust the setlist some.

As for the DTB. It was the regular DTB lineup. I asked one of the guys in line if they would play an SYL song, and he said they'd do it maybe if Gene was there. It was still an awesome set though. Now I can't wait to see SYL if they come back my way.

I was hoping to see Gene live, he's one of my favorite musicians. Oh well, like seeing Opeth will be dissapointing :p

^ Depends on whether you like just their heavy stuff or not. They were incredible but played mainly their more melodic stuff. (When I saw them, Oxford Brooks University).

An Evening with Opeth was fantastic. The show sold out and it was a great atmosphere. My only gripe is they only played a single song from each of their first five albums, and too much from Ghost Reveries (three tracks, bleh).

quote]Seminal technical metal pioneers ATHEIST have regrouped for a run of exclusive live performances.

Guitarist/vocalist Kelly Shaefer has reassembled what is widely considered the band's classic recording lineup (Shaefer, guitarist Rand Burkey, bassist Tony Choy, and drummer Steven Flynn) for two exclusive festival performances; Italy's Evolution Festival and Germany's Wacken Open Air. Shaefer comments, "We're very excited to be able to get back on the stage and play these insane tunes hit the air again the proper way with Flynn, Burkey and Choy. It's going to be very exciting and something not to be missed!"

ATHEIST will take part on Evolution Festival (scheduled for July 16 and 17 in Brescia, Italy) and Wacken Open Air (scheduled for August 3-5 in Schleswig Holstein, Germany). These will be the first in a series of exclusive festival performances announced. Shaefer continues, "We would like to make a great festival run this year and expose as many as possible to the music we lived and died for. Many thanks to the Evolution Festival and Wacken for helping to give many people who never got to see ATHEIST live a chance to see us one last time. This is our chance to make the music we worked so hard to create come alive one last time, and we guarantee that it will not disappoint."

ATHEIST has recently had its wildly-influential catalog (1988's "Piece of Time", 1993's "Elements", and the 1991's legendary "Unquestionable Presence") reissued internationally via Relapse Records. Additionally, "Unquestionable Presence" was recently featured in Decibel magazine as part of its ongoing Hall of Fame feature. The Hall of Fame feature highlights influential and pivotal releases in metal history, and "Unquestionable Presence" joins of ranks of previously profiled classics such as SLAYER's "Reign In Blood", SEPULTURA's "Roots", and AT THE GATES' "Slaughter of the Soul", among others.

Did they? I only have their Reise Reise album, and I dont think they screamed.

*when I say yell/scream/shout, I mean that screaming on the top of the voice, like in the middle part of Sys of a Down's Attack.

Oh, I see what you mean :p

Don't know if Trivium gigs are sold out, or if they've updated gig list to include it - but they're playing at the Concorde 2 (a small venue compared to say, Astoria) in Brighton this tuesday. Tickets available at rounders records (in the Lanes), if there's any left that is. So if you want to see them and couldn't because they sold out, this is your chance.

Also seeing In Flames the following wednesday! :D (and also the band that does the music for rathergood.com (7 seconds of love) on the friday embetween) :D this is a good .. week and 1 day ..

I'm going to see Rob Zombie and The Coil next Friday. I can't wait. It'll be my 4th time seeing The Coil and finally I get to see Rob. I never got the chance to see White Zombie. I hope he does a White Zombie song, not counting it, but it would be cool if he did.

I also saw that Nine Inch Nails is playing in my hometown on a Friday in May so i'll probably hit that one. I haven't seen Trent live. It should be fun.

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      Surprise Execs are dumb. I hope the rehired engineers said were not coming back until we get 2x our salary.
    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI by David Uzondu Ford recently announced that over the last three years, it's had to rehire about 350 "gray beard" engineers to mentor younger staff and reprogram diagnostic systems and AI tools that were failing to meet up to quality expectations. The company's VP of vehicle hardware engineering, Charles **** said that leaders overlooked the deep experience of veterans who survived many product cycles. **** admitted that simply replacing them with AI was a huge mistake, and that while AI is "a fantastic tool," it remains "only as good as the information you use to train it." The rehired engineers now run mandatory meetings to troubleshoot vehicles and reprogram automated engineering software and AI tools to prevent glitches before production. These technical specialists hunt for failure points before parts ever reach the plant floor, helping prevent the massive recalls and defects that previously cost the company billions as it aims to cut one billion dollars in expenses this year. In last year's JD Power Quality Survey, an annual study that measures the quality of a car during the first three months of ownership, Ford finished 10th among mainstream brands and scored below the industry average. But this year, JD Power ranked the automaker as the top mainstream brand, placing it above the likes of Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Co. Ford attributed this massive improvement directly to the expertise of these returned engineers. Ford's realization that AI cannot magically design and test quality vehicles without senior human oversight is just the tip of the iceberg. When Careerminds looked at companies that conducted AI-driven layoffs, researchers found out that 35.6% of those companies had to rehire more than half of the employees they previously fired. Another 32.7% had to rehire between 25% and 50% of them. In 2024, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO of Klarna, proudly announced that its new chatbot was doing the work of 700 full-time customer service agents. As a result, the fintech company froze hiring and cut hundreds of positions. But by mid 2025, and into 2026, Klarna was scrambling to recruit human agents again because customer satisfaction had plummeted. It turns out, while AI is very good at answering basic questions like how to check an account balance, when faced with complex customer issues that require nuance, the thing usually resorts to the unhelpful, robotic corporate jargon we all know and love.

      Free AI in IDEs is shifting to paid models Or you know, you could just learn to actually design and code apps, use frameworks to handle the repetitive parts and not use AI at all - and voila... free for life!
