Re: THE METAL THREAD!!! \m/

I've gotta say that Dragonforce was pretty awful live. I saw them at the first Rockstar Mayhem festival 2 years ago. I definitely wouldn't pay to see them in particular again. They aren't as "perfect" live and they try doing too much and it just doesn't happen. The drumming isn't as fast and the guitars got sloppy. Also the vocals were INCREDIBLY off and there were times I couldn't even understand the words that were being said. Plus because all dragonforce songs sounds pretty similar I couldn't tell what the lineup was because all the songs were pretty much butchered. Overall a pretty bad experience .

You guys are pretty lucky with the fact that bands want to go to your countries/live in your countries. The two best I've had so far here in the Philippines was the 2004 Billy Sheehan bass clinic and the 2009 Arch Enemy concert...the others were "meh"...

I've heard the same things about Dragon Force from friends. I was supposed to go and see them (back when I lived in the UK), but I had to cancel because I couldn't get off work... Can't say I regret not being able to see them though.

Yea exactly! I was at a festival so it wasn't even like I specifically payed to see them. Going into the concert though I didn't really dislike DragonForce, there are times I actually enjoy them but I really need to be in the mood for them for some reason and that mood doesn't come often. So me actually enjoying them at the time decided to go see them only to be heavily disappointed. I ended up missing Machine Head because I went to see DragonForce instead . Well I guess now I can at least say I saw DragonForce and then I ended up seeing Machine Head later that year when I saw Metallica because they opened for them.

Thats funny. Were they all like epic, metal versions of the happy birthday song because if they were then that would make any concert for me! (except a DragonForce one )

Well Metallica didn't played along but Slash and his band made their own version but wasn't really heavy.

Re: THE METAL THREAD!!! \m/

Just got the new Iron Maiden album: The Final Frontier and I've got to say its a keeper. I just listened through it once now. Haven't learned all the songs yet but I've liked the sound of it. There is an intro track as well and thats pretty sweet, its kinda mesmerizing and then it leads into their song The Final Frontier. Has anyone else gotten it or heard it yet???

I had a quick listen at the store but you can only listen to a few seconds so I can't make a judgegment yet. I'll buy it next week.

I've yet to even listen to the new material (seeing as the only decent record store here closed down years ago, and the nearest one now is about an hour's drive away), I'll probably look for tracks on youtube. If I like it I'll go out and buy it.

From a musician's POV, Maiden's been churning out SSDD albums. They're not doing anything new anymore. Not that it's bad, it just takes a bit of the excitement off.

I have heard of bullet for my valentine many times but never really heard them because I don't really like their name lol reminds an emo band xD

So I listened to some of their songs. I like the instrumental part but I think the Vocals are kinda generic I think the guy could have a more agressive voice.

Well but that's just me because I like rough voices instead of clean ones.

 

[Xsoteria]

I used to listen to Bullet for my Valentine and I must say the band is pretty good. I haven't listened to the new stuff, but they had awesome rhythm and guitars. Vocals aren't bad accept for being whiny at rare occasions, but overall, definitely worth checking out.

People often connected them with emo culture because of some songs that were named a bit emoishly, but once I actually went and listened to it, it's good music.

The genre would be metalcore, IIRC, if that means anything to anyone.

yea Xsoteria i agree bout the name and what people get called emo coz of it...oh n i love Blood Stain Child gave them a listen when you mentioned it on this thread..they damn awesome..love Hype-N.

 

[Arrogance]

I'm a Bullet For My Valentine fan myself but I haven't really listened to the new album. I have it but it just hasn't really caught my attention. I originally saw them Live opening for A7X during Taste of Chaos a few years back but I didn't know who they were then. After seeing them live I got into them.

And why is that? I really wanna heard your explanation...

Same. The only thing I'd ever call overrated by Metallica is Enter Sandman. The song was good once but now its just played out because it was overused on the radio and sporting events . Everything else is just gold!

Yeah, agree...

But you know, when you see a band like Metallica playing this song

Disposable Heroes - 1985
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOYcH466Wiw

And then, almost 25 years later playing the same song like this!!

Disposable Heroes - 2009
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mcthZSZDw4

There is not doubt in my mind, Metallica is the best Fucking Rock Band in the World

I cant remenber a band that could play like that after almost 30 years.. Maybe only AC/DC and Iron Maiden are in that level..

I cant imagine any of this nu-metal bands doing the same thing...
