    Benevolent fascism

    Your contribution was no more deserving but I attempted to answer your question for you. I gave my reason for interest in the topic, and by your own reasoning you apparently found some value in it because you have responded in kind. I challenged your thinking, and from it you have strengthened...

    Benevolent fascism

    The ability to consider other possibilities should always be welcomed in this decaying world. Responding is a way of putting your own point forward and should be equally welcomed. Not responding is what is sinking humanity ever deeper into its own corpulence. Scourge of God takes a more...

    Too much metal?

    I guess you have to ask, what was the ratio of quality to shit releases for previous years as compared to now. I don't know those figures because I have better things to do during the day but lets say that there is a progressively higher ratio of shit being released. Perhaps it will be harder to...

    Is thrash metal dead?

    Thrash is not dead, but if it were it would live on in my heart until the day a mangey bird rips it from my decaying (but still mostly sexy) chest and feeds it piece by piece to it's hungry brood. Then thrash will live on in the hearts of each of those baby birds who will return to peck out the...

    Have you found it difficult to meet people who enjoy extreme metal?

    Don't any of you people go to local gigs? I meet heaps of metalheads that way. That said I live in Australia's capital city which is about the size of a peanut. Everyone here know's everyone else through someone else. All the same if you're looking to meet people with extreme metal tastes at...

    Thrash vs. Speed

    Different names for the same thing. Of course you're going to want to give them both clear, defined meaning because you are spending too much time sitting in your dark room clutching yourself, and there isn't much more for your mind to lend itself to. I'm sure there are people who have come up...

    Metal For The Brain -who's playing & who's going

    Well it looks like I'm going unless I get rich enough for a Nevermore road trip between now and then. It will be good to catch the last one, even though I was kind of put off by a friend of mine being assaulted (to put is nicely) at last years show. Hopefully the crowd will be less full of...

    favorite band vocal wise?

    I can appreciate Nile's vocals, but I wouldn't place them as my favourite... each to their own.

    favorite band vocal wise?

    Blind Guardian Dio Solitude Aeturnus Nevermore Candlemass I can't think of anymore right now, but you get the gist. I rate epic sounding vocals.

    the hate thread

    I think it is more appropriate to say that porn can be exploitive of women. That's not to say that it always is, but quite often is, especially at the cheaper end of the scale. It's exploitive in the same way that many people are exploited by their employers for a range of reasons. Degradation...

    for those who shred, i want your opinion

    Stupid men... when you can't agree on a topic, just change it to something much simpler like hair care or winter fashions.

    Well I guess it could be longer, but sometimes you just have to settle.

    That's a well-hung tomato.

    the hate thread

    I hate any subject with the word "Communication" in it. Especially the one I'm gong to fail tomorrow.
