Any adult Dis'ers into Hardcore Metal?

[metalis4ever]

Hey peeps!

I just ordered my Lamb of God tix last Saturday for their Oct show in Atlantic City!

Metal- I saw BLS a few weeks ago- I love to watch Zakk play. He IS an incredible guitar player

I have seen BLS live and I don't think that they are anything special....Also even putting aside the fact that they were extremely unprofessional and crossed the line by following Sharon Osbourne's and carrying out the below:

At Iron Maiden's last Ozzfest performance, on August 20, 2005 at the Hyundai Pavilion at Glen Helen in San Bernardino, California, several negative events took place. During the first song, several members of the crowd, brought on by Sharon Osbourne, bombarded the British metal band Iron Maiden with eggs, bottle caps and ice. During three of Iron Maiden's songs, the P.A. system was switched off, cutting power to vocalist Bruce Dickinson's microphone and the band's instruments . During the concert, Bruce Dickinson can be heard accusing the festival's organizers of deliberately cutting off the band's power. On Iron Maiden’s departure, Sharon Osbourne came on stage to make a few statements, telling the audience that she "absolutely loved Iron Maiden" but thought that the lead singer Bruce Dickinson is a p$%#*[11] Rod Smallwood, manager for Iron Maiden, issued a statement shortly after the debacle condemning the attack on the band.
It was later revealed that the members of the crowd responsible for bombarding Iron Maiden with eggs and debris were members of the Black Label Society road crew. Zakk Wylde laughed it off stating "that's what happens when you attack a Metal legend and wave another countries flag in The United States". Wylde was of course referring to Bruce Dickinson's statement "unlike some bands on this tour we are actually coming out with a new album" and the waving of the British flag during 'The Trooper'.

Besides that I feel as though Zakk Wylde is one of the most OVERRATED musicians of all time just sitting here I can name at least 50 Rock, Hard Rock and Metal guitarists that are more original and more talented than Zakk Wylde.... So besides his clear character flaws I think his music is blah at best, honestly if I am going to listen to that style I would rather listen to a band like Clutch, Corrosion of Conformity, Down or Crowbar....

As far as Sharon goes she is a waste of perfectly good air

Thanks for the info! I think I may have heard about that- but, I forget everything anyway!

WTHeck did they even ask Iron Maiden to tour with Ozzfest of they were going to treat them like that?? I don't get it.

AND! Come on, Iron Maiden has been waving that darn flag for a very long time!!!!! Why now do they have a problem with it?

Sounds like childish crap!

ugh- now I can't get the thought out of my head that Zakk is kind of an %$#hole!

Aside from the fact that Maiden has been doing this since forever the song is about the Battle of Balaclava in 1854 during the Crimean War so yeah, she needs to maybe read a book every so often.

I know I am such a girly girl- Am I still allowed to think Zakk looks hot??

No need to answer that one

WTH? They parked you somewhere you weren't supposed to park? Those people are morons.

Yes... employee parking, lol. Some guy waved us and two other cars in, while he was talking to other employees at the same time. We parked, got out of the car and started walking when he came running over saying we couldn't park there. What a doofus.

Damn girl!! I'm jealous! I was all set to go see them in Pittsburgh on the 23rd of this month. Then got scheduled for another surgery on the 18th. I don't really think I should be trying to get out of the way of mosh pits with staples in my spine. Anyway, yeah, it was Gwar and Job for a Cowboy here too. Haven't heard anything about their openers changing to Hatebreed. That would be great too. Give Jamey a sloppy wet kiss for me.

Ouch! Staples in your spine!? Hope you are OK

You know what you have to do, schedule your surgery "around" the concert! I might be needing surgery (will find out tomorrow) and I am hoping the doc can schedule me the week of Sept 21st- so I am good to go by Oct 23rd! Even if I am not good to go, I am making DH toss me in a wheelchair and get me there!- No, not jokin'

How many people do you think schedule things around their concerts?!

My spinal cord is pulling my brain out through the base of my skull. Other than that, I'm good. Just old age setting in.

I would, but I've seen them all before and I'm at the point where I just want something done. You too? Are you okay? You could always chase people around the circle pit in your wheelchair.

THAT sounds like something you need to take care of! Sending pixie dust your way!

Me? just "girly stuff" Yay! I get to see Lamb of God!!! Have to have surgery Oct 26th. No big deal. Out the next day.

Hello my fellow brothers and sisters of True Metal and Dis....I decided at the last minute last night to go to the Down show at the House of Blues in Boston and I am so glad that I did. I got there late so I missed the first two opening bands but I was able to catch the Melvins who I had not seen live since 1998 and I must say they have progressed quite nicely. I used to think they were gimmicky when they first came out with the duel percussionist before duel percussionists were cool. I know of a certain unoriginal band with a million members in quite little masks that ripped them off along with others but that's for another day. Back tot he show the Melvins were awesome and ended their set perfectly with a duel drum and guitar assault. Then Down took the stage another band that I had not seen live since the 90's. Now for those of you who are not familiar with Down the band is comprised of ex-Pantera hellhounds Phil Anselmo and Rex, Corrosion of Conformity guitarist Pepper Keenan, Crowbar guitarist Kirk Windstein and Eyehategod drummer Jimmy Bower so basically the band is a Southern Metal super group. I assume most of you already knew that but for those who didn't now you know Anyway I have seen over 400 bands live and I must say that the show that Down put on last night is in my top 5 of all time. They played an uncompromising set and absolutely destroyed life. They played songs from all 3 of their albums but much to my surprise played more from Nola than I had expected. That's not a bad thing that's a great thing. Phil threw out a tribute to Dime and even dropped a Pantera reference that got a huge pop from the audience they even jokingly played 30-40 seconds of Van Halen's Panama but Phil couldn't remember the lyrics LOL

All in all if you have the chance to catch Down on this tour do so you will not be disappointed.

Anyone else catch them on this tour??

Also as a side note I have now seen every original band of the members of Down including Down at least twice now. Pantera -7 times, Corrosion of Conformity 6 times, Crowbar 2 times, Eyehategod 2 times and Down 2 times plus I have seen Phil's other band Superjoint Ritual live once Now that's Metal!!

Hey Metal~

DH and I just saw down on Saturday in Philly. Rex was MIA-and Phil mentioned his absence. I read he had surgery?

But ITA- great concert. I liked the way Phil really showed his appreciation to the crowd- and the crowd just sang along to every song!

They only had one opening band in Philly- The Weedeaters. eh, I was happy to have them leave the stage, but, they were not half as bad as some of the opening bands we see.

As you can see, Lamb of God/Hatebreed is up next for me! I have been wanting to see LOG for a long time now, so I am psyched.

Nik- hope you are feeling OK & keepin' the brain where it belongs!

Yeah Rex temporarily left the band to deal with some personal issues but the fill in guy was pretty good, I mean it's not like Rex is a superstar on the Bass anyway LOL

Yeah we had Weedaters, some other stoner metal band and the Melvins open, like I said I only caught the Melvins and they impressed me witht heir set, I hadn't listened to them since the last time I saw them live back in 1998 so it was good to kind of hear a band I hadn't in over 10 years.

I love how Phil brought back his early 90's long hair mohawk...at our show he called it his "mid life crisis" lol ...Did he drop a Pantera mention at your show? It was funny at the end after they played "Stone the crow" in the encore he was like what do you guys want to hear and the entire crowd yelled "Pantera" and he was like what was that all I heard was rrreeerrrera! He was like I know what you guys want to hear and I'd love to give it to you but I can't so in unison what do you guys want to hear and again the majority yelled Pantera but Phil was like sounds like "Bury me in Smoke" and the crowd went insane anyway hey it was worth the try...

Have fun at Lamb of God / Hatebreed I have seen both of those bands a ton of times especially Hatebreed I have seen them 15 times over the years. I have seen Lamb of God 6 or 7 times but I couldn't stand them until the 6th or 7th time seeing them my Metal Elitist ways viewed them as posers for a while but now I love them and accept them as "New American Metal"...

I think my next show is going to be Nile in October but I have seen them 3 times so it really hinges on who is opening.....

Have fun in the wall of death at LOG

To tell you the truth I could not understand half the stuff Phil was saying. I did not hear any mention of Pantera though. I know when he asked everyone what they wanted to hear, everyone was yelling out "Bury Me in Smoke" and yup- everyone went insane!

They did play Stone the Crows at our show too- I love that song- the guitars kind of have a Lynyrd Skynyrd feel to it.

I can't believe I even remember some of the songs- I am usually not that on top of it

Lysergik Funeral Procession
Ghost of Mississippi
New Orleans is a Dying "Ho"
In the Thrall of It All
Nothing In Return
He dedicated "Lifer" to Dimebag
Stone the Crow
Bury Me in Smoke

I was a fan as soon as I heard them. They are just downhome CRUNCHY and nasty I usually listen to bands from Europe- it is nice to have a great band like LOG from "right down the road" in VA!

It seems like we had similar if not identical set list woooooo!!

1. Lysergik Funeral Procession
2. N.O.D
3. New Orleans Is A Dying Hoar (misspelled purposely )
4. Pillars of Eternity
5. Lifer
6. Ghost Along the Mississippi
7. The Path
8. Dog Tired
9. Losing All
10.Eyes of the South
11.Nothing In Return (Walk Away)
---------ENCORE-----------------
12.Panama (30- 40 seconds) Van Halen Cover
13.Hail The Leaf (pretty sure it was Hail)
14.Stone The Crow
15. Bury me in Smoke - Some of the road crew, a kid and the guitarist from the Melvins came out and took over the instruments....

Phil only mentioned Pantera because Down has never played in Boston proper they usually play in Worcester Mass ..So Phil was like "I don't think I have played in Beantown since my days in Pantera" Which I think opened the door to the crowd yelling Pantera at the end when he was asking what we wanted to hear. I think he actually thought about it for a second but when he leaned over to Pepper he shook his head then Phil was like "I know what you guys want to hear but sorry can't do it"....I think it's a whole respect for Dime thing I don't think Pepper wants to touch those riffs...Back when I saw Down in 1996 they covered "Mouth for War" but then again that was back in the day when Pantera was still alive and active.....

As far as LOG you are right it is good to see a rebirth of American Metal The new breed of bands are making up for the disgrace of bands that came to the forefront of American Hard Rock and Metal from 1998 -2005..It has taken 4 years to wipe away the negative view of American Metal/ Hard Rock that bands like Slipknot, Mudvayne, and other weak poserish bands had created. Thankfully American Metal is back and those bands can do what they should have done along time ago and fade away into nothingness LOL

Again have fun at LOG!!!!!!

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?
