All Hail Nergal!!!! I am sure that Gdansk Medical University Hospital will take good care our our Brother of True Metal

Just popping in to say...I have been catching up and I want to be Metalis4ever when I grow up.

LOL well I am flattered that my 22 year obsession has managed to impress and hopefully help some of my Brothers and Sisters of Metal discover bands that can be blasted loud and proud I have been listening and living Metal since the age of 8 (1988) and have seen over 400 Metal, Hard Rock(Nu Metal), Punk and Hardcore bands live and listen to hundreds of bands regularly and I love when someone introduces me to a new band that sounds amazing or even an old band that I had never heard of before. Case is point one of my buddies introduced me to a Speed Metal band from the 80's that I had never heard before A band by the name of Airwolf from Germany...they only have 1 full album "Victory Bells" (1988)...I have been obsessed with this album since he let me borrow it this past Saturday, I'd give it a solid 90 our of 100....Definitely worth seeking out and listening to if you enjoy Speed Metal.....

.......................... I don't think my brain could hold all of that metal knowledge!!

You are quite knowledgeable so I don't know who you are trying to kid Like I said I am by no means an expert slightly elitist at times but no expert just obsessed with Metal I am always seeking out different and new bands to listen to and I love every Sub-Genre of Metal...well for the most part I could do without most Grindcore bands



Anyone else pumped about the Forbidden, Overkill, Evile and Gamma Bomb tour this November?????? Forbidden and Overkill = Thrash Gods.......

 

[SoScary'09]

Omg I didn't even know Overkill was still aroundXD Fantastic!!!~

I'll be the first to say that I loved Korn in their day. Repeat...in the day. But I really don't think they're the same thing as like...METAL metal metal, ya know? They had their own 'popular' sort of sub genre thing. Same with Slipknot, though I could never get into all thatXD

Srsly guys I have no clue what I'm trying to say...I think I just liked Korn is allXDD So there it is. People hated me for that.

Saw Death Angel for the second time this tour today. Cool before the show thing though...
There's this store around here that carries vintage toys(no zhu zhu's or silly bands in sight, thank goodness). I walk in because I had 3 hours to kill before doors and I'm always in there looking for Ewoks. Well, the drummer from Death Angel is in there completely loving eveything, his eyes were totally glowing. I just love it when metal musicians are able to show their fanboy/fangirl side. Later that night after the show I had my Death Angel cap attached to my belt and he pulls Mark over, is tugging on my hat while it's still attached, and says "Dude, when's the last time we had these."
Mark, "Oh, those are from a few years ago."
Will, still examining my hat, while it's still attached, "Dude these are nice... do you think we could produce these again? Hey Ted come over here, do you think we could do these hats again?"

I love it when good concerts have some little extras thrown in. Death Angel was awesome as always, and I can't believe I have to wait til January to see them again. At least the new album in September should be a good thing to hold my Death Angel fix...

 

[Drakesdadda]

Black metal fan here!! NO Slipnot,Godsmack,or any lame bands like them... Pure Norigiean Black metal.

I've seen Overkill a few times in the '80s but not since. It is good to see a lot of the '80s/90s bands are still out and about!

I love it when good concerts have some little extras thrown in. Death Angel was awesome as always, and I can't believe I have to wait til January to see them again. At least the new album in September should be a good thing to hold my Death Angel fix...

and, I think I used to listen to Death Angel in the '80s when I was into speed/thrash metal. I guess that is the category they would be in, right?
ahhhh- the '80s. That is when I started to discover good metal

Sept is right around the corner! Hope you get your fix

Black metal fan here!! NO Slipnot,Godsmack,or any lame bands like them... Pure Norigiean Black metal.

Welcome! I like some Norwegian metal- Dimmu (of course) some Satyricon...... I am ALL over the place with my music.....there is NO rhyme or reason

Sad news- just got a refund for the Behemoth show I hope Nergal is OK.

And the good news, just purchased Cannibal Corpse tix.

 

[maddhatir]

LOL- did anyone see this interview with Dimmu's Shag?

I like how he just comes out and says he is not a fan of Korn. AND how awesome would it be to see Dimmu Borgir live w/ a full orchestra backing them up

I like a lot of black metal, but I would hate to limit myself to only liking bands based on where they are from. There are some cool things going on in American black metal right now, just check out Nachtmystium and Wolves in the Throne Room. Both of those bands are domestic and sound great (imo) and are taking the genre to new levels (again, imo).

BEHEMOTH Frontman Nergal Diagnosed With Lukemia

This is not good news at all. We assumed it was bad when Behemoth announced they are canceling all upcoming shows but I didn't think it was this bad. Metal Underground is reporting that Polish news site TVP has uncovered that the disease is leukemia and it's past the point of chemotherapy treatment, and he would need a bone marrow transplant.

I had a feeling this was it from the start, when they had said "multiple stage treatment."
I think though he is in a good enough stage to fight it, they wouldn't even consider him for bone-marrow if he wasn't in good enough condition considering all the risk factors, so I'm hoping for the best, that's all I can do right now.

 

[SoScary'09]

Here's hoping for the best for him.

 

[maddhatir]

This does not directly help Nergal- but it's the thought that counts

On a very sad note, I don't know if y'all know this already, or if there's another thread but Mike Portnoy has left Dream Theater, my personal, all-time favorite band.

I thought I'd come here to commiserate with fellow disers and metal fans, because most of the metal forums are pretty hateful.

It's a very sad day for music.

 

[CAJUNWDWFAN]

glad I found this thread. I've been a metal head since 1986/1987. Metallica is my all time favorite. Seen them 6 times. I have been a MetClub member since 1995.

Yup, I just back from weeks of work craziness, and finally got some time to post on the DIS metal thread again. I was gonna talk about the killer Maiden/DT MSG show, and possibly give a review about how I actually dig the new A7X CD (I also like City of Evil). Instead when I go to check in on Portnoy.com (Used to post as Bigglesworth for years), I get the news!

DT's also one of my all-time faves. Been backstage to a few shows, and met Portnoy a number of times. I don't think there are many other selfless musicians that are as dedicated to the fans as Mike. I'm pretty much devistated over the situation, but I'm not angry at Mike. If he wants to leave, then that's his right. As I read the various bandmember responses, it does look like it came as a shock to everyone though.

DT's going to carry on with Petrucci leading the charge, and I think Rudess will get a lot more input now, but without Portnoy's influence who knows what we'll get. For me, this is pretty similar to Neal Morse leaving Spock's Beard.

The easy thing to say is that Portnoy will join A7X full time. I don't think that's the main reason he left DT, but I also see that A7X's success didn't help things. If it does happen, I don't blame A7X for anything. They are a talented band that deserve their sucess. I'm not a huge fan of the Hot Topic look and the dumb names, but it's still good to see some decent musicianship top the charts. It wouldn't be such a bad thing if Mike got some creative control in A7X and act as a mentor for the group. They still seem unfocused, with thier sound all over the place. Focus A7Xs sound a little more like some of better cuts on Nightmare and you could possibly have a next gen version of Extreme or Mr Big style pop metal shredding.

At least I've still got Opeth, Mastodon, and Porcupine Tree, although I'd put money on Mastodon as the next band to implode.

 

[guitarob]

Oops, double post... Sorry!

 

[guitarob]

I was at the DT/Maiden show the night before MSG in Holmdel. It was awesome. I didn't really like the crowd's response to DT, but I guess that was to be expected. It wasn't nearly as bad as when I saw them with Yes a few years back. The Yes fans couldn't have cared less. Maiden KILLED it, it's unbelievable how great they still sound. I'm very saddened by the fact that I'll probably never get another "Evening With" show from DT though. I miss those three hour DT fests.

I'm pretty much the same, devastated. DT is my favorite band, they're unmatched in my book, you can't top what they did/do. And I really hope that they carry on in the same vein. I get the feeling that it won't be as heavy though, since that was mostly Portnoy's influence. I do see Portnoy's side of it though. I really wish the rest of the band would have just let him rest for a bit, the man has given us, the fans, so much of himself.

I'm not a huge fan of A7X (I can't stand dude's voice), but I do like some tracks on City of Evil and most of Nightmare. You pretty much hit it though, it's great to see some talented musicians making a name for themselves and carrying metal through all the crap that's out there lately.

When Neal left Spock's, IMHO, that band was over. I really hope Portnoy leaving DT doesn't have the same effect. I believe they'll get through it and come out ok, but I can't picture ANYONE taking Mike's place. It'll be interesting to hear what the new album sounds like. It's a shame that we'll never get to hear the AA suite performed live as a whole though.

Good to see another Dream Theater/Disney fan! And oddly enough... so close to me as well. \m/
