Anyone heard these chaps? I got into them by chance a few months ago when I happened across this video on the Youtube. Their debut, Nocturnes And Requiems, is a pretty solid hour of old school metal with a hint of King Diamond-esque drama. Guitarist Jake Dreyer is also with Iced Earth, but...

Y'all need to hear this band if you haven't already. Think heavy Porcupine Tree meets the mellow side of Opeth with a generous helping of Pink Floyd at the height of their powers. 'We are pleased to announce that our upcoming seventh studio album “Wasteland” will be released via our longtime...

If any of you have the 4 record set of Best Of The Beast, can you please tell me about the live version of Revelations on disc 3? Is it from Dortmund '83 or Live After Death and, if the latter, how has it been edited?

I haven't included Zep or Deep Purple in my list. Technically they qualify as they began in the late sixties but are best known as seventies bands. The Beatles (if you don't like them or at least appreciate their importance, get off my thread) The Rolling Stones (see above) The Who Cream...

Just caught up with the first episode. Fuck. Me. Running. After three and a half years in the wilderness and not really watching anything, this is why I still have a TV. Granted, I love the book. Hard. This makes me an easy sell and perhaps not the best critic, but it's good to be invested in a...

I can't seem to hear enough of this band lately. I gave up on them after Face The Heat because the lineup changed for the first time since 1979 and I'd read the following album (Pure Instinct) was pretty poor. It surprised me recently to find that it wasn't. They'd just caught a dose of the...

Is this thing on? Do people still have arguments here or have you all grown up and started listening to classical? A few of you may remember me from such forums as, well, this one, but it's been nigh on a decade since I last signed in. I checked out when Mr Harris and friends declined to visit...

As little as I feel like discussing anything Maiden-related just now, I thought I should share this email I received today from the SA tourism minister. W Dear Mr Lord Thank you for your email dated 3 October 2007, regarding the Iron Maiden Australian tour in 2008. The Adelaide...

The good news is we're getting three new songs rather than two (Shadow Of The Wind, The Devil Cries and Ear In The Wall). The bad news is that The Dio Years has shrunk from a box set to a single disc compilation. I thought this might happen, but I'm buying it anyway. See Bravewords.com >...

From www.bravewords.com "As previously reported, according to BW&BK sources, Sanctuary UK are putting together a complete Black Sabbath reissue program starting in March. The first three albums (1970's Black Sabbath, 1970's Paranoid and 1971's Master Of Reality) will be released with bonus...

According to my device manager, I have an Atapi DVD Dual 4x Max drive (made by MSI) that can read and write both DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs. I also have IDE ATA/Atapi controllers, with primary and secondary IDE channels and an SiS PCI IDE Contoller. (I have no idea what any of that last...

Okay, I admit I'm getting old, but with all the Deep Purple and Rainbow in my collection, it was only a matter of time before I decided to take an interest in the noble Sir Richard of Blackmore's more recent work. The fact that I'm lately enjoying quite a bit of acoustic, medieval-sounding...

I've had my current Panasonic RV-40 for five years and it's high time for an upgrade. This thing throws a fit with most of my home made discs (thus defeating the purpose of having a DVD burner on my computer) and will only play Region 4 stuff. Can anyone recommend a more recent Panasonic model...

I heard The Pilgrim (quite good, I expect it'll grow on me once I've got the album) but fell asleep before the Hansi interview. What did I miss, and did Andrew play any more tracks from the new BG? W

I have successfully downloaded the B-sides of the Benjamin Breeg single (and edited out the DJ's asinine remarks) if anyone wants 'em, but in the process I learned that the vinyl pressings of last year's reissue of The Trooper have live versions of Another Life and Murders In The Rue Morgue from...

Of the sixteen million billion compilations out there, is there one that covers the early stuff (before their MTV period) and has the far superior radio mix of Here I Go Again? W

When I was a young 'un, I remember half-watching an animated show on the ABC. The story didn't leave much of an impression but I liked the music, so I paid attention to the credits to see who had performed it. It was none other than Rush, and though I enjoyed what I heard at the time, I didn't...

Here's a copy of a rather worrying email I just got from a friend. If it's true, let's all do what we can to stop this madness happening before it starts. "I think we would all agree that the internet is a pretty cool thing giving us unparalleled opportunities to do cool stuff like getting...

Here's some sage advice from a guitar player friend of mine, who succeeded in converting me to Yes but completely failed in converting me to King Crimson :). W When requesting a song from the band, just say "play my song", or "it goes something like this" then hum a few bars! We...
