    Hello from Alaska/Canada/Wherever

    Yes! I found an internet coinnection on this vacation. And I thought I'd take the time to report in: the weather is cold but the girls are anything but. Speaking of which, I have a giant Eskimo orgy to get back to Thank god/yahweh/allah/vishna/fate/chance/the human entity/whatever other...

    More clean vocals!

    In order to form a more perfect assemblage of sound, we, the undersigned, humbly impel of the honourable musicians of Skyfire TO ADD SOME MORE FRICKIN' CLEAN VOX! Seriously, the chorus of Shadow Creator with the clean vocals mixed in has to be one of the coolest Skyfire-moments ever. Let's...

    Where the hell did those pics of Skyfire scaring old people in Germany go?

    The ones where they're getting drunk, and then mooning the camera, and then scaring old people. I need them as evidence that Skyfire is greater than Fallout Boy

    Why do metalheads care about genres so much?

    I'm really tired of all the 'Iced Earth is power, not thrash'/'In Flames isn't melodic death metal'/'Does Opeth count as progressive?' bickering. Fuck genres; One of the marks of a great band is that they're original and step outside of genre cliches. People probably debated whether Black...

    What attracts you to Skyfire?

    A lot of musical taste is just a feeling. You connect with it because you do. But there are also definite things that I appreciate in music - intricate melodies, a thickly layered and epic sound, prominent guitar, building song structures, introspective lyrics, and dynamic and instrumental...

    Does being brutal make a band good?

    A lot of metalheads seem to consider brutality a virtue, extoling how heavy and extreme a band is. This really, really bothers me. I can record a jet engine, throw a bunch of distortion on it, and add some unintelligble grunting. That doesn't make it music. Bashing your head against a brick wall...

    not publishing their lyrics

    What do you think of Hypo not publishing their lyrics? Personally I think its slightly annoying because Peter can be hard to understand and their lyrics arent particularly horrible, but on the other hand its cool because it forces you to listen to the music more.

    Conscience

    Are we born with a conscience or is it a product of social conditioning? Does it work to our advantage, our disadvantage, or neither? Discuss Personally I'd say conscience is genetic, it keeps us from killing each other indiscriminately and instead fosters helpful cooperation that's...

    Music videos

    Most of them suck. But I think they have a potential to really add to the feeling of a song. What videos do ya'll think are good, not necessarily in terms of the song but how the video meshes with it? My list: Metallica - One, Turn The Page, The Unnamed Feeling Rammstein - Links 2 3 4, Amerika...

    corrupt-a-wish

    Here's the idea: I make a wish, then the next person responds by finding away to turn the wish against them, then gives their own wish, and so on. For example: I Wish I had a 12 inch cock Granted, but its in your mouth I wish I had a Les Paul Granted, but you are overcome with an urge...
