Melvins killed it last night, they played Bullhead in it's entirety and finished up with Boris, which was ******* epic!

The Unseen · 01-22-2011, 05:24 PM

Woah, that sounds awesome.

IT'S LIKE SINNNNN

fenikz · 01-22-2011, 10:34 PM

greatest cover ever, it takes great band like Tool to cover another great like Led Zeppelin

First single from Tommy Rodgers new album

and finally

New single "C'est La Vie" from Protest the Hero's upcoming album Scurrilous streaming on their Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=lf#!/protestthehero

Inserting my opinion: I like it...not particularly heavy, but kinda catchy. Protest the Hero is very good at mixing technical metal with post-hardcore flavor, and this song shows that off pretty well.

Greatness.

Live CD/DVD from mastodon. March 15. Book it.

The Unseen · 02-08-2011, 04:35 PM

Yeah, that should be tight.

Also, Brann Dailor has called the album so far sounding like Super Heavy Led Zeppelin, and is so far sounding nothing at all like they intended when they went in to write it.” And Bill Kelliher said that they are using some leftover riffs of stuff that didn't make it into Blood Mountain.

Jvig43 · 02-08-2011, 04:54 PM

Meh the lineup of songs in that cd isn't the most impressive they could have done. And Buckethead is the man.

I'm definitely not buying that. I was not a fan at all of Crack The Skye

fenikz · 02-08-2011, 05:48 PM

Leviathan and Blood Mountain were awesome. CTS was just not very good outside of the 1st song

fenikz · 02-08-2011, 05:54 PM

which is honestly prob the worst song on the album

Jvig43 · 02-08-2011, 06:51 PM

Crack the skye is easily theyre worst album. And thats basically all thats on that live cd. I will not be wasting my money on that.

The Unseen · 02-08-2011, 08:46 PM

1. They did the entirety of CTS on that tour (with Dethklok), and so actually didn't have time to do more other singles. I saw them on that tour, and then on a later tour with BTBAM. On the later tour, they headlined and played all of CTS along with like three or four more singles from other albums, and honestly better ones that the ones they did for the DVD. So maybe they should have filmed this later? Iunno. But the point is that they probably wanted a DVD of themselves playing the entirety of CTS because it was unique for them to play an entire album on a tour.

2. I will agree that CTS is probably their worst album (that or Remission), but I still really like it. It was really gateway into Mastodon and basically all of metal too, at least good metal (I started out like all others on the Metallica/SOAD bend. Yes jvig, SOAD isn't metal. sorry.)

3. I'm not gonna buy it either.

Jvig43 · 02-08-2011, 08:54 PM

I have never stated System was metal, they fall into a category of Bands I hate in Nu metal. Doesn't diminish my love for them as musicians, despite mostly listening to metal. I'm not someone who gets down on Bands for not being metal any longer, hell I now listen to classical almost non stop.

The Unseen · 02-08-2011, 08:58 PM

Fair point. I'm saying my tastes got more metal, and that means excluding bands who weren't metal enough.

Jvig43 · 02-08-2011, 09:03 PM

Haha all my friends are like that. I went along doing that as well, Ive learned its much more enjoyable to appreciate music for what it is rather than how hard it sounds or technical it is. And while I do love the latter, I just have come to peace with the fact that not everything has to be like that to be enjoyable. Which is why I love the Orbs cd, even tho most other music with a similar sound to that cd doesn't interest me at all, and why I will always love system. Serjs voice mmmmmmmmm :)

The Unseen · 02-08-2011, 09:32 PM

Actually my boner for technicality has waned of late, I've been listening to hardcore/metallic hardcore/metalcore alot lately. Well, that's actually not completely true - bands like Converge and especially The Dillinger Escape Plan are pretty technical, but I'm thinking more prog metal. Sometime prog gets a little too out of hand for me.

StripedWalrus · 02-09-2011, 12:39 AM

You guys need to dive Head First into black metal and never return!

fenikz · 02-09-2011, 12:42 AM

I can never be a true metal head I like melodies too much

Then you'd love Power Metal. Or at least some bands in the genre.

Jvig43 · 02-09-2011, 06:04 AM

I listen to my fair share of black metal, although most of it is sort of melodic/black metal I guess which doesn't all count. I'm just tired of thinking technical = good because there are some amazingly technical Bands my friends talk non stop about that just sound like **** no matter what way you put it.

The Unseen · 02-09-2011, 09:38 AM

Black Metal is the hole on my metal resume. I don't really like it. It's not heavy enough for me, honestly.

scottyboy · 02-09-2011, 10:00 AM

does this belong here? I don't care. I found this cd and it has been my gym music for the past week or so
