Any adult Dis'ers into Hardcore Metal?

[maddhatir]

LOL

But seriously Slipknot aren't metal and it is a disgrace to American Metal that some people consider them as such. Quite honestly it's embarrassing which is why I am glad there are finally some New American Metal bands that are picking up the flag of hatred dropped somewhere along the lines in the mid to late 90's. Bands such as Lamb of God, Skeletonwitch, Warbringer, Job for a Cowboy, Mastodon, High on Fire along with many others are helping to bring credibility back to the American Metal scene that for the most part had fizzled out for a few years.

That's cool that you were able to get Zombie tickets I haven't seen him since the 90's I think the last time I saw him was either 1999 or 200 and it was Fear Factory, Monster Magnet and Rob Zombie which was a pretty solid show. Have a great time!!!!! Who is opening for him?

I like Job for a Cowboy- they were supposed to open for LOG, but then it was changed. I am just getting into Devildriver too. Do you like?

I was PO'd b/c I wanted to see Soulfly- but their tour seems to be limited- and NJ/PA is not one of their stops

This is odd b/c I checked the info about Rob and it says Don’t miss the sooktacular show with special guests (Captain Clegg) and Nekromantix. Who is Captain Clegg?? They look to be fictional Who knows wth Rob!

OMG! The last time I saw Rob was with WHITE Zombie in '96, I think. He was with Pantera!!!

I will be smuggling my camera in the place for this show! That is for sure!

Mastodon and Dethklok are coming to Philly on 11/1, so I'm thinking about hitting that show. High on Fire (a big plus) is supporting, as well as Converge.

I've seen Mastodon live a few times, but what really interests me is seeing Dethklok live. Is this wrong? I believe Gene Hoglan and Zappa proteges Mike Keneally and Bryan Beller will be playing in the live incarnation, who are all great musicians. And from what I've seen on YouTube, Brendon Small, the Metalocalypse creator, is no slouch on guitar either.

I don't know how the crowd will receive them. But I have a feeling the metal fans already know about Dethklok, and as long as they know it's all in fun, it could be a killer show.

I saw that Dethklok was coming when we were at the Down show (did you go?)

They play Dethklok on Sirius, Liqud Metal. I seem to look to see who the band is that is playing when they come on, so I would say, I like them too.

Dragonforce is coming- I kind of like them for some reason. AND- I just got the Five Finger Death Punch CD- not too sure about that- they seem a little too mellow or something- they are going to be at the TLA with Shadows Fall and......... (ugh) Otep. Not into hearing chicks sing hardcore stuff- UNLESS it is Angela, and her voice does not count as female

 

[maddhatir]

I am sitting here working and listening to Liquid Metal- I like the song that is on so I go to see who it is, it's DETHKLOK! Nice growl.............

You would think I would know this by now!

I didn't make the Down show. I don't know if I'll be able to hit the Dethklok show either, as I'll just be getting back from WDW, and probably be swamped catching up over that weekend. We'll see ...

I like Shadows Fall, but I'm not a really big fan of Dragonforce. They are great musicians, but all their songs sort of sound the same to me. I guess I like hearing them in short bursts. I do like how they have a sense of humor, and are sort of tongue-in-cheek about their speed riffs.

If you've ever caught Metalocalypse on Cartoon Network, Nathan Explosion talks in his growl all the time

Hope you make it to the show! And have fun in Disney!! Are you camping or getting a cabin??

DH and I are hoping to go next year in Oct for the F&W- He wants to do the Segway tour of Fort Wilderness this time. Have you ever done it? We did the Segway WS tour in 2006- we had a blast!! Now we want to rip up the trails of FW

Never seen it! I am not a cartoon kinda chica. OK so- I luv Stewie and Brian, however, I think they should ditch their loser family.

I knew I liked Stewie and Brian for a reason VVVVV

I will try and catch Metalocalypse. They might have it ON DEMAND.

Seeing as how it's next door to the Aerosmith coaster, I'm hoping for a Dethklok tie-in for the Tower of Terror.

My parents have an RV that they're taking down to FW. They drive down and do all the set-up ... Then I fly down and take the Magic Express to FW, hopefully with the site all ready to go. It works out great for me I always pre-load the RV with a couple cases of good beer, and bring my boombox with plenty of metal.

October and the F&W Fest is my favorite time to go. Lower crowds, Halloween decorations, and usually decent weather. This will be my 3rd Oct F&W! It's so much fun eating and drinking around the F&W. A few years back my parents headed down and asked if I wanted to join them for F&W. We had some local relatives join us and we had a blast. Within a few weeks of returning, we went ahead and booked for the next year. It was a no-brainer once again this year.

I've done both the WS and FW Segway tours. While the WS tour was amazing, the FW tour was even better! I highly recommend it! Sure you don't get the cool factor of riding around the WS, but you do get to tool around on the Segway XT offroad models. The XTs are freakin' monsters. You get a lot more riding time on the FW tour, over all kinds of terrain. We rode over dirt, grass, sand, and I even took the XT over some pretty big tree roots. You get to ride around FW, the WL, and all around the trails along Bay Lake. During my tour, we did have a guy take a header over the top of the XT, but it was in the grass, so he was OK. There's not much 'Disney' themed sightseeing, but it's a killer wilderness tour where you get plenty of time with the XT.

Disney needs to re-think the expansion of Fantasyland, and include a section devoted to Dethklok's home of Mordhaus ... complete with a 'Dimmu Burger' counter service restaurant!

But I'd settle for a Mordhaus ToT

Not a bad gig- mom and dad set up and you just arrive!

Thanks for the info on the FW Segway tour- sounds fun! Yeah, watch, I will be the one who takes a header next year!

Do you need to take the class again before doing this tour?

They still have a training session, but it's much shorter in length. I think I remember the WS training took up almost half the tour time. I think the FW training was only 20 minutes or so. It's worth it, as the offroad XT models do handle a little diffrently. They are more stable, but also less nimble with huge monster tires. Most of the training revolves around making sure you're clear of obstacles with your tires, and also practicing ducking under low branches while riding.

There is a also a few stops during the tour. You get off the Segways at the Tri-Circle-D Ranch to see the horses and stables for a few minutes, and there's a photo stop along the shore of Bay Lake where you can get your pic on the Segway with the MK and lake in the background.

Band question for you all..............

Anyone ever hear of Between the Buried and Me?

I am listening to them now and I cannot say much for the vocals, but OMG- the guitars are frickin' awesome!

Any info?

I never really paid much attention to them, and then I saw them open for Opeth and Dream Theater last year. They put on a killer set! So I decided to check out thier stuff and was kinda underwhelmed. Of course then I heard 'Colors' and was floored They really hit it out of the park with that CD ... One of my favorite prog-metal CDs of recent years.

They're definately prog-metal and take some getting used to. They've got some of the quirkiness of System of a Down or Faith no More, with some crazy instrument skills. The more you listen to them, the more it sort of clicks. Their earlier stuff is hit/miss, but I'd recommend picking up a copy of 'Colors' or 'Colors Live'. They're going to have a hard time topping that for a follow-up.

Hi. I'm a little late to the game, but I like some metal!

My DH played in metal/ heavy bands for about 7 years and opened for some killer acts. Before I met him, my metal library consisted of Metallica and Manson, lol.

He was thinking about the Mastadon/ Deathklok show in our state, but decided on the Gwar/ Lamb of God show instead.

Oh god! I abosolutley HATE System of the Down AND Faith No More! Hmmmm. I will have to check out some music clips before committing to buying the BTB and Me CD!

But I still think the guitars are mind blowing.

Hi! Never too late to the metal game!

Where is "your state"? You may have seen my post a few pages back about our (NJ) LOG concert- no more Gwar- we are getting Hatebreed! I said to DH, this concert is going to be SICK! Total cRRRRRunch!

I am listening to Liquid Metal and Jose is interviewing Shadows Fall. I am not totally listening, but I heard Jose say he would like to see LOG with GOJIRA!!! That would be the $#!T !!!!!!

I know Randy sings on Gojira's The Way of All Flesh, so it could happen...maybe........please.........a girl can dream can't she??!

BTW XO- I have got to tell you I LUV your "Fear and Loathing", the Muppet version!

Fear and Loathing is one of THE funniest movies. That is a movie you either love it, or hate it. Those who hate it- just do not get/understand Hunter

Oh! They can remain nameless! I like some of their stuff. There were better bands around than them. Huge fan of their first singer, before they went big.

I honestly don't know many of the new metal bands around. After having kids, it went from rockin' out to Slayer to jammin' to High School Musical soundtracks, lol. Last big concert I went to was about a year ago to see Killswitch. Wasn't super impressed.

Now if you can find a CD "Slayer does HSM" you are in business

Have you ever heard of Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Metallica!!!!? How great s that!?

My kid (my pretend child b/c I do not want any kids ) would be rockin' out to this as a baby and HE would be putting on hockey skates before he could walk. No soccer or baseball for my pretend son!

You should read through this thread- there are a lot of great bands mentioned. You can get some ideas and get back to bangin' your head

But your DH probably has some good CDs, right?
