I am curious if anyone would be interested in doing a photoshoot. Certainly we cannot be outdone by the ladies, and we men can show how METAL we are in our kilts. Right?

So... um last year, someone (I forgot whom, I slept and drank and smoked and GRADUATED COLLEGE since then) had mentioned that in this year's Progpower someone was planning on having a photoshoot with men in kilts on Saturday. I tried to see if there was a thread on this, but I couldn't find it...

I wouldn't miss it for the world! My Podiatrist just came by and told me what is going on. Basically they are just trying to fine tune the antibiotics to the infection I have. It seems that the bacteria is gram positive (This is a Good Thing™), so once they get everything down. I should...

So most of y'all saw me at the show wearing a walking boot. I managed to get it signed by everyone except Divinity Compromised (Sorry guys I was in line for Myrath). Still I thought y'all would like to see the finished product. Heavy Metal Walking Boot 1 Heavy Metal Walking Boot 2...

Especially when the temperature is over 100 on each day, and there is *NO* shade @ Rocklahoma. Ja Rei

Here is some video from Geoff Tate at Rocklahoma: Nice huh? Ja Rei

Lower on the list. Then again, I have no idea what this guys criteria is to be a "Great Metal Guitar player". When you say the name James Hetfield, I think frontman first, guitar second. now if Kirk Hammett was #8 instead of #15, I wouldn't have a problem with it. Ja Rei

Here we go, another "Greatest x who do y" list. I got this from Jeff Waters's FB feed where he's listed as #3. I have so many problems with this list (like James Hetfield being # 8 :rolleyes:), but my doctor told me to avoid stress to keep my blood pressure down. Anyway, Here is the list...

This, but I still liked the style of the music. I need to find more stuff like this. I tend to like stuff with more grooves, than just chugging away (dig-a-dig-a-dig-a-dig) for 5 mintues. This was nice! ja rei

I have been moshing since I was 15 at the first Headbangers Ball Tour with Anthrax, Exodus, and Helloween. I live in Texas where for the most part moshing is your rite of passage into metal. Moshing here is damn brutal, I have been kicked, punched, put in a headlock (at a rap-metal show of all...

Actually it was from Kickboxer when he was in Thailand. He was "drunk" during that scene and his "master" told him to dance. Hilarity ensued. Ja Rei (who has way too much useless knowledge of martial arts movies)

I was just about to post that a guy like me who is an absolute Otaku of all Japanese Metal, I damn near never hear songs in English so I am looking forward to hearing the Sabaton album in Swedish. I personally enjoy foreign languages but then again I speak 3.01 languages (English, Spanish...

Congratulations, and I hope you rip $#!+ up in Europe! Take plenty of pictures, and don't drink too much beer in Germany :kickass:

Yeah, it may be but I guess what I am trying to point out is that it shouldn't be because there are a lot of us who like metal. The aforementioned Kanye/Opeth fan doesn't go to metal shows for the "odd looks" he receives at shows. Once again, I have always encouraged black folks to go to...

The essay is "I'm not strange: Black people in Rock Music" (title pending). Basically the purpose of the essay is to talk about Black people's contribution to rock music throughout history, particularly focusing on modern days (post-1980). Basically it started after I watched the...
