Love it! Kind of reminds me of The Alternative Polka by Weird Al Yankovic who has even way more time on his hands.Quote:

I'll have to check it out if i remember to. I love my metal, but wouldn't say I'm a purist. I do have some eclectic tastes.
Search for his name or Frog Leap Studios on YouTube. But beware: whenever I’ve done it I’ve ended up doing a deep dive.Quote:

He’s a multi-instrumentalist and clearly talented, and his videos are genuinely funny, but I’m wondering what metal-heads think of his output. Does the subject matter lose him cred? I think his skills as a metal artist are great but how does his talent stack up against other metal musos?
What do you mean by technical? It's probably my favourite Metallica album but I dunno how to play any instruments so not sure why you would need a warning for it??Quote:

Master of Puppets is still my favourite of theirs and that hasn't changed. There isn't a track on that album I didn't like.
It speaks volumes that Machine Head's The Blackening is the only album worthy of comparison to Master of Puppets.Quote:

And on the 8th December, Ripper Owens is playing a free gig at Frankies, and 9th is Michael Graves at Frankies.
Emperor!!!!:eek: I had to pinch myself when you said that name because I never thought they'd travel to this country. As coincidence would have it I recently bought the black box edition of IX Equilibrium. I've listened to the album once and I'm already blown away.Quote:

They're playing Anthems in it's entirety. I saw Ihsahn in Melbourne, and he loved the place, and his tour manager made comments that hinted the future. I saw Direct Touring post the iconic E logo the other day and was waiting on this.Quote:

Saw Michale Graves tonight. I know not metal, but damn a good show. Heard some Misfits songs sung by the person who should. When I saw Misfits years ago, Jerry sucked on vocals haha
Hypocrisy and Kataklysm coming in May. Bloody hell, I'm having trouble keeping up with all these gigs.
Sorry, I'm not much of a death metal fan. The only such metal in my collection is Nile.Quote:

Now all my Machine Head CDs are special editions at last:D.
Saw Dee Snider last night. First time he's been out in nearly 35 years, and damn for a 63 year old he has alot of energy. And absolute legend of rock for what he did for rock n roll. So glad I managed to snag a free ticket.
You bet he's a legend and he'll be an even bigger legend in this country when he gives that Clive Palmer %#&@hole his comeuppance.:)Quote:

Wonder if Download festival will happen in Sydney next year of old Gladbags has anything to do with killing music festivals in NSW....
But currently listening to a band called Summoning. The newest album, whilst not as good as their last, is still great. If you like atmospheric black metal like soundtracks, and Lord of the Rings, definitely worth checking these guys out.
Saw Slayer last night. Hanneman must have been looking down on us. Started to rain for Hell Awaits and through South Of Heaven, then belted down through Raining Blood. We got saturated. But damn what a gig. End of an era. Clash for tomorrow's Download is crap but I dunno who to choose either Slayer or Ghost.
The trick is to imagine it's like the downpour at the end of Evil Dead (2013).:DQuote:

I myself know what it's like being caught in a downpour at a concert. It was at the infamous GnR, Skid Row & Rose Tattoo concert at Calder Park where it was 39 or 40 degrees and we were holding up our cups to catch the rain.
The rain was worth it. During the wait for, I think Behemoth, today only rained a lil.
I missed that gunners gig
One of my favourite folk metal bands Týr just released their new album Hel. My boxset arrived yesterday so now giving the cd a spin. It's already being hailed as contender for album of the year, and I have to agree.
I've heard 3 or 4 tracks from Tyr. The music of these Faroe Islanders would be perfect for the Vikings TV series.
I've been a fan for quite some time now. Well worth checking them out.
Just finished watching Lords Of Chaos and of course it's not as good as the book (which I've read twice) but the film could've ended by at least pointing out the legacy of black metal (e.g. the global success of Dimmu Borgir) and Varg being driven out of Norway.
I'm still yet to watch it. Soon I will.
Speaking of which, I saw Emperor last night. What a show.
Agree. Especially at the end when they brought out the big screen visuals of Scandinavian forests, it added so much atmosphere that I wish they'd done that from the start.Quote:
