Just went to see a couple of gigs on this weekend...
Black Feast
Absolutely awesome old Beherit worship, did get somewhat repetitive after a while, and I started wondering how long can they continue doing what they do. But I still loved their old sound.
Behexen
Great as always, although the sound was shitty. Far too much bass in the overall sound, and the backing vocals were mixed far too low. That being said, it was interesting to see their new female bassist perform onstage. Not that common in the genre.
Absu
The highlight of the evening. I, and all my friends, just loved Proscriptor's over the top speeches, and their playing was tight as hell. I have to say I've never been that big of a fan of trash metal, but they made it work so fucking well. It's just unbeliavable how he can play the drums while singing.
For example...

Primordial
Not my cup of tea, and I must say I have a strong distaste for such crowd pleasing manners. We left the bar during their set.
And on a side note...

Aw man, I love Primordial. To each his own, I suppose. Absu are awesome too.

The constant bang your fist / clap your hands stuff. I just can't stand it, especially if it goes overboard. The less the better, IMO.

Yeah, I'm not into it either unless it's something coming spontaneously from the crowd, which does happen too.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
Never see Septicflesh live then. Good god they slowed down and did it like 7 times.
I think we must've seen them on the same tour then. I enjoyed the music, but the "Show me your horns!" shit between every song (and sometimes during) was super annoying!
Melchiah
Member
Yep, it's fine a few times during the set, but if it happens in almost every song it starts to grow old very quickly. Like Gaahl's constant horn signs, and King's bass poses, during the past Gorgoroth gigs. Then again, I think every performer has his/her own habits, which they might not realize repeating.
Haha! In some twisted way, I kinda wish I had seen it.

I went first and foremost to see Devin Townsend, but was mildly excited for Obscura (who killed it) and Septicflesh. I generally dig their last two albums but since I saw them I haven't listened to them at all lol.

How about Paul Masvidal from Cynic making the crowd do YOGA:

Ahhh I see.
I love me some clapping and fist pumping. I only recall one instance of it driving me mad, and that was when Leaves' Eyes opened for Blind Guardian on their ATitM tour. That growling co-lead singer asked the crowd to clap at least 3 or 4 times per song and their fucking set lasted an hour. Guh.
I don't think I've ever been referred to as a motherfucker so much.

GAF, let us debate the best Iron Maiden album.

What say you?

You hear that word about 20 times on short Septic Flesh concert, can't imagine a full gig
I'm torn between The Number of the Beast and Powerslave.
I only have self titled, The Number Of The Beast, and Powerslave. That said, Powerslave is definitely my pick.

Best is S/T all the way up to Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. That's the only explanation I can give. And to imagine almost every single album took about only 1 year to write/release is amazing.
Piece Of Mind does get the most play from me though.

Baroness, Kylesa and Mastodon are the new Sabbath, Led and Floyd of the 00's and 10's.
That's all.
That's all.
You forgot The Sword, Witchcraft and Graveyard.

I had a look yesterday, the total album is 17 minutes long... Does it even qualify as an album if it's that short? When is it coming out actually?
Maiden is one of the few bands where I'd rather just listen to a best of compilation. I just can't listen a full album of them.
I'm not a big fan of the classic bands, but really?

Add High on Fire to the mix and I'd sort of agree.
This is the correct answer. 7 classic studio albums plus 1 great live album in a prolific 8 year stretch.

Looks like Helloween added two NA shows for the fall. I really, really hope they come to Il. I don't care where in Il, just somewhere so I can see them. Even WI or MI will do.

Wooo, what are the dates? I can't seem to find them anywhere.
I think Seventh Son of a Seventh Son is my favorite.

Sept. 25th at Soda Club in Montreal
Oct. 7 at The Grove in Anaheim CA
I get emails from enterthevault.com ever since I bought Nightwish tickets from them. They get annoying but it's times like this I love them

Saw Turisas last friday and hot dayum, it was amazing!!!! They were so fresh and passionate on stage. And got to meet them on Thursday night, they are all a bunch of gentlemen, very thankful with us for being there and for a show with 2500 mexican metalheads singing along with them! \m/

A ton of record stores are selling it already, and Southern Lord shipped out the vinyl a while back.
I haven't heard it yet either, though. Looking forward to it, but the new Baptists record "Bushcraft" is occupying that listening space right now. Great debut.
Does anyone like Meet Us At the Southern Sign as much as I do? It's fucking awesome.
So am I! I should listen to both of them once the SC2:HOTS launch event is done. Especially Powerslave where I completely blank on the 4 middle tracks. Yet due to Powerslave (the song) being on it, it has to be in contention for my favorite Maiden record.

posted one thread on OT, but think I will get better feedback here
Where can I find this pedal: Dunlop DB-01 Dimebag Cry Baby From Hell at one store in Germany?
Anyone knows some german website or something?

Thomann is truly a fantastic place!
I'm starting to explore Megadeth a bit. Rust in Peace is seriously blowing my mind right now. The intro's (!), solo's... Every song on this album kicks ass. Moving on to Peace Sells next. They're coming to Belgium in may, might consider going. Their live show any good?
When I listened to Hangar 18, the intro sounded really familiar. Apparently Arch Enemy really liked this song

I saw them play Rust In Peace in its entirety in 2010 or so, it was fantastic. You're in for a treat as long as Dave doesn't blame Obama for Sandy Hook or something.
Oh for the love of god, why did I scroll down to the comments. Quick everyone, listen to Benedictine Convulsions so we can forget about them!

RIP Clive Burr. I have never listened to any of his non-Iron Maiden work.

RIP, that's sad to hear. I saw them at the Brixton Academy in 2002, which was a charity gig for Clive, and got to see him on stage with the band - plus, they played Children of the Damned for the first time in about 15 years!
