Yeah, I heard about all that. If it's true, she's one of the hottest he-she's I have seen (not that I've seen that many!). My favorite quote from the article - although it's debatable whether she ever actually said it - is this:

"I have both a poon and a peener. Big f**king deal.”

Priceless. You can't write that shit, people. :D

[mankvill]

A Selection Unnatural
Deflorate
The Black Dahlia Murder

Trevor is the only vocalist I know that is labeled as a metalcore/deathcore singer that actually has tolerable vocals. His high vocals should be what all "core" bands should sound like. The low vocals could use some work though, but it works.

[Spiral_Slave]

Flag in the Ground
The Days of Grays
Sonata Arctica

ARGH WHY CAN'T THE REST OF THE ALBUM SOUND LIKE THIS.

Because that song was written in 1996 under the name "BlackOut" when Sonata was still called Tricky Beans. That's why it sounds so flowery compared to the rest of the stuff on the album; Tony just re-wrote the lyrics and some minor arrangements. That being said, I pretty much really like the whole album. The only song that doesn't do anything for me is "As If The World Was Ending."

Nonhuman Era

How are more people not fans on this band on here?!

I've only heard the three songs that leaked, I just meant fans of the band in general. I've never heard anyone on here talk about them, but cool to know there are others. Holographic Universe is a masterpiece it's going to be hard to top that one, but the new material sounds good so far.

Coheed and Cambria - The Trooper

I like this cover. I think that people who hate it don't understand what a cover should be like. Its not a copy, its a remaking of.

I don't know. I think this is a very difficult topic to nail down. I first want to say that I've never ever heard the cover you're referring to. I don't like when people defend bad covers by saying "Covers are supposed to be your own interpretation of the song". I buy that that is sometimes true, but I've definitely heard it used to defend bad covers of songs. For example, if you're going to cover a song but change chord structures, vocal melodies, song arrangement, etc., I don't think calling it a true cover is really a far analysis. It doesn't make it bad, but it's not the song as people know it. If you're going to significantly change parts of a song, you're opening yourself up to criticism from people, not just because people don't like things just because they're different, but because they may not like them in general. However, if you decide to do a cover and do it in the vein of the original, people have every right to criticize it for its shortcomings in replicating the original.
Me, I just don't really see the point in covering a song and making considerable altercations to it. If I WANT to cover a song, there's a very good chance it's because I really love the song to begin with, and I think it's a very pretentious sort of thing to assume you can make the song better/more interesting than the original version. I'm not saying it can't be done, but to me it defeats the purpose of doing a cover in the first place. As a musician, I want to cover songs I love playing by bands I love, so why would I not want to do my best to replicate them?

[Maiden33]

My opinion on this is exactly the opposite. A cover should not be note-perfect. Why bother covering it, in that case? Why wouldn't I just listen to the original?

[JRA]

Covers can go either way for me. But if your gonna stick to the original, make it as note perfect as possible. Go outside of your genre to accomplish this. But if you're gonna make it different, then make it so far out and so out there, that the only way people will recognize it will be the lyrics.

The Beautiful Wound
Suicidal Final Art
At The Gates

[ChildrenofSodom]

What I meant by my cover comment was that I don't want to hear a different band playing the exact same thing as an older band. I hear to hear a new band's interpretation of that song, put their own touch on it.

I guess he'll probably be playing this live if I end up seeing him in November being his newest song and all. Kinda sucks though.

I agree with that very much.

These Colours Don't Run
A Matter Of Life And Death
Iron Maiden

Ah, I still remember hearing this live as if it were yesterday :bliss:. Looking back, I'm really glad that I saw AMOLAD in it's entirety. Will never be the best Maiden set and of course in the moment there was complaining, but so many of those songs will never be heard again. Glad I heard em all :light:

[Maiden33]

Yeah, you're right. Falconer basically blows. It's just that it's comprised of a few of the same guys, so I thought it might be cool, but nope. :(

I consider Falconer to be among the most overrated bands that play in my general musical bracket. I just don't get it I guess.

[Natrlhi]

Laser Bitch
Cloak of Love
Genghis Tron

:rocker: They used to have even more groove in their grind.

Yeah, but they're still awesome today. What a unique and talented group. Nice guys, too.

[Maiden33]

Leviathan Rising
Snowfall on Judgment Day
Redemption

Pretty heavy track, but also probably one of my favorites as of this point. The chorus on this song is fantastic. Really enjoying this thus far.

[TonyD]

War Nerve
The Great Southern Trendkill
Pantera


Edit: I just realized the verse riff to this is "In Your Face"

Check "Use My Third Arm" of Far Beyond Driven.

All Secrets Known
Black Gives Way to Blue
Alice in Chains

You can really tell the album is missing the presence of Layne. Duvall blends in and sounds good, but none of his his vocals or any lines jump out as fantastic.

[DethMaiden]

Yeah, but they're still awesome today. What a unique and talented group. Nice guys, too.

True on all counts. Saw them in Toledo in August 2008. Board Up the House was my fourth favorite album of that year, the dudes were super nice, and their live set was un-fucking-believable.

[mastodon421]

Warborn
Nocturnal
The Black Dahlia Murder

[JRA]

Check "Use My Third Arm" of Far Beyond Driven.



Oh, I already knew that. But I think it's more so War Nerve.

[Maiden33]

Keep Breathing
Snowfall on Judgment Day
Redemption

:light:
Beautiful song, probably among the more poetic and emotional moments on this album.

[Maiden33]

Another Day Dies
Snowfall on Judgment Day
Redemption

Well, James labrie doesn't sound like shit, and they actually have some really cool 2-part harmonies here, so I guess that's all I can ask for.

[Maiden33]

What Will You Say?
Snowfall on Judgment Day
Redemption

Proof that Nick isn't just recycling ideas, this sounds nothing like anything they've done before. It's also one of my favorites on the record.

[Spiral_Slave]

Freak Show Excess
Real Illusions: Reflections
Steve Vai

[SerpentineVIVIVI]

Drawn To Black
Across The Weeping World
Insomnium

[DethMaiden]

Flesh and Blood
The Legend
Johnny Cash

It's difficult to decide if he's a top ten artist for me because he has so much absolutely amazing stuff (like this song) but at the beginning of his career he made like fifty identical songs.

[ravenheart]

Something For The Suffering
Casulaties & Tragedies
Gunfire 76

[ravenheart]

I agree. During his first glory period I can only pick out a handful of songs I genuinely like. I like a lot more from his lesser-known years.

But in all honesty, it's all about the American albums for me. I love all of those.

Exactly. There's maybe two dozen terrific songs, but that's out of like a hundred songs total, which is disheartening.

And I definitely hear you there. "Hurt" is probably my favorite Johnny Cash song of all time.

This is pretty much how I feel. AMOLAD is my favorite album but, to be honest, I don't think most of the songs translate live very well (Colours is definitly an exception). However, I'm so glad Maiden decided to do the whole album and I'm very thankful I got to witness it. Me and my dad drove like 7 hours to the asshole of America (Camden), had shitty seats, the tank didn't work that night, and the crowd was disgustingly uninterested in the first 10 songs of the set but I wouldn't change it for the world. :)

The production quality is a HUGE step up from Ithyphallic. Erik Rutan nailed the drum production.
