Any adult Dis'ers into Hardcore Metal?

[Dominus]

Metallica took a downturn for me when they did enough interviews to illustrate to me what jerks they were. I didn't mind the music changing so much as their attitudes. That being said, I have a morbid curiosity for them. Whenever I see some kind of monster on I feel compelled to watch it. Even though the show just angers me.

Sorry totally OT but maddhatir I love the Scotty Hartnell in your sig!!~ (mega huge Philly fan) We'd better win or it's gonna be all over

But more on topic, I'm really suprised to read about so much Dave Mustaine support. Normally it's all like....well, I don't need to explain. You guys get it. Personally I think they put on a great live show. Suprisingly upbeat band despite 'Go to Hell' in the setlist

Scotty is the man! Yeah- I wish we played last night like we did the game before I love his crazy @$$ hair!

Yes- it is great that we can be in one place and everyone gets it

There was a thread last week "What your last concert you went to"- not many people posted (well, some of us here took it over with our love of music) but I found it sad that not many people go to concerts or enjoy really good music. I mean, enjoy as in "are passionate about it"

I was watching one of the Metal documentaries on VH1 a few weeks ago and Eddie Trunk was saying he has never known anyone so passionate about their music, as a metal fan. I think this is true.

I also like the quote:

If metal doesn't give that overwhelming surge of power that make the hair stand up at the back of your neck, you might never get it

I was a big Dave Mustaine defender until he fired Dave Ellefson. After that, I'm through. I saw Megadeth last year and thought they butchered a lot of the older material. I don't think the guitarist even tried some of the Marty Friedman stuff, and James Lorenzo didn't play all the bass stuff from junior. About the best live band I've seen recently is Testament. I've seen them about 6 times all with different line-ups, and they kill everytime. The only constants are Eric and Chuck, but they always surround themselves with the best guys.

There is no doubt that Dave Mustaine has one of the biggest egos in Metal second only to Bruce Dickinson of course...I do have to disagree with you though I saw them last year or the year before with heaven and Hell and I have to tell you they killed!!! They played Wake up Dead, Devil's Island and Hook in Mouth and played them just as well as when I saw them back in the 90's. I have seen them live 7 times 8 if you include the acoustic show that i saw in '98 at the House of Blues in Boston and I've got to tell you to me they sound better now live than they have since Cryptic Writings....

I do agree with you...Testament are absolutely amazing live, Skolnick is a beast and is easily one of the top 5 Metal guitarist of all time..all sub genres included he is absolutely untouchable.....I am seeing them with Unearth later this Spring it should be a decent show!

Speaking of shows I saw Kreator/Exodus a couple weeks ago, and coming up Testament and then Obituary it doesn't get more old school Thrash and Death than that!!!!

Well, there went my theory then

Sweet. I usually post on the TB, but I saw this and was thought, wow, people other than me actually like metal on the dis? I'm more into newer bands, but I'll listen to some OLD Metallica, Megadeth, etc.. But my favorites are Between the Buried and Me, After the Burial and Veil of Maya.

Haha, thanks.

I like looking in here and NOT seeing anything about crappy pop music.

Oh- that and the wonderful American Idol music?

I enjoy your use of sarcasm. The only time I watch that show is the auditions because I like seeing the people make total a**es out of themselves.

[mistymouse5001]

I like most of these. Lamb of God is awesome too.

 

[maddhatir]

Bumping!

OK- I know Metal will know this band- I just discovered them listening to "Bloody Roots" on Liquid Metal yesterday!

OMG- I already checked their tour dates b/c I want to see them!!!!!

ELUVEITIE

and Samael

Do you want to guess what country that Ian Christy featured on Bloody Roots yesterday

I love finding new (to me) bands

(ARGGGGGGGGHHHHHH! I just checked tour dates for Samael- they were just in town in MARCH!!!!! DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) always late to the freakin' party!

 

[Tat2ddisneymom]

Hey Madd. How was Gojira?

 

[maddhatir]

Hey Madd. How was Gojira?

Oh- I forgot I did not report back! Been a little out of it lately

They were awesome! Some major CRUNCH! We loved it!

Let me tell you, I do not ever remember laughing at a band before (well, unless they were being funny on purpose) however, can I tell you I could not keep a straight face when the first 2 bands came on before Gojira! They were LAUGHABLE! And not on purpose! Just horrible! They were The Chariot and Car Bomb- never heard of them, nor, do I ever want their noise to invade my eardrums again!

I said to DH- I highly doubt Gojira would pick 2 bands that bad to tour with. And- whoever did make that decision to put them all together, should be banned from the music industry.


And what about you? How was Disturbed? And how about.....Chimaira

I have been listening to Celtic/Viking metal most of the afternoon on Last.fm

We have Korn next Thursday.

Oh my God! I saw a band like that before! It was Tripping Daisy back in the mid 90's. They were terrible and basically got booed off the stage. Really REALLY bad!!

Disturbed was awesome! The kids absolutely loved it. I got videos of them if you wanna check them out.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO6VfBTjiw4

^That's the video I took of Down with the sickness. We were so close to David Draiman (my future husband - that's what I told my kids). It basically started a riot and I had to protect the kids at some point, so the video goes crazy and I got some of the ceiling and some of the pit that was right in front of us. My other videos are better if you wanna click on my name and check them out.

I didn't get any videos of Chimaira, but we were SO close for that. There were pits going on all around us, so I was more concerned about keeping the kids safe. They didn't seem to care much though. Shane got a guitar pick from them and from Lacuna Coil.

I realized I don't really like going to concerts with the college crowd. They do the hardcore dancing and for some reason they hurl shoes. If one of my children would have gotten hit with a flying shoe, I would have gone into the sea of people to find a shoeless person and beaten the crap outta them. And that hardcore dancing is ridiculous. Those idiots are out for blood. They really don't know how to do a wall of death, either. Although I do have to give one guy credit. He was in a wheelchair and was in every pit there was throughout the day. Check him out in the end of this short video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iPZFWYGX74

Glad you had fun at Gojira. I'm doing Static X next Tuesday in Pittsburgh. Then I have an early meeting the next day. I hope I'm not too hungover.
