I'm surprised that this hasn't been posted yet. It's Mike Mangini. Having seen the three episodes of The Spirit Carries on on Youtube, where they chronicle the search for their new drummer, I also agree that this guy was the best choice. I'm really looking forward to their new stuff with this...

We have all heard on various tribute albums classic metal songs covered by death metal bands and singing the songs with death metal growls. Dio, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden tribute albums come to mind. My question is: has the opposite ever happened? A death metal song covered by a "clean...

The excellent site The BNR Metal Pages has been making a tournament for the Best Metal Album of All Time for the past few months and the winner is... Megadeth - Rust In Peace Regardless of what you think of the winner, it's interesting to see the albums in the running and how they fared...

I just saw Anvil: the Story of Anvil on DVD and let me say it is right up there with Metal: A Headbanger's Journey as far as metal documentaries go and I recomment it to everyone. My question is (to anyone that has seen them live recently): Are they drawing bigger crowds to their shows? Please...

We metal fans are an obssesive bunch, sometimes travellling long hauls to see our favorite bands. This is more true for fans who don't live in the larger cities that are part of the normal tour circuit. For myself, it usually means a 10-15 hour bus trip to from my city in Mexico to Tucson or...

From Blabbermouth: http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=123255 Man! And I really like Metal Church. I hope this isn't permanent.

Seems that Iron Maiden's Flight 666 was released earlier here in Mexico where I'm from. I ordered it online on the weekend and it came today (june 3). Some may say "What?? ANOTHER Maiden live album??", but you can never have enough live Maiden as far as I'm concerned. The setlist is very similar...

Metal in a language other than English, I mean. I was recently listening to my Nightwish - Once CD and I had forgotten that there is a track on it in what I suppose is Finnish, the song being Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan. Since I know this is a very international board, my question is: Do you...

Yes, you call yourself a metal fan, but you just can't have everything by every band no matter how hard you try. You hear or read others rave about certain bands but you just haven't gotten around to buying any CDs from those bands and you feel that there is gaping hole in your collection. I...

It sort of sounds like "Let's Rock it". Or maybe Rockit = Rocket (as in rocket ship). Anyone know?

From Blabbermouth: "TESTAMENT guitarist Eric Peterson recently spoke to Decibel magazine about the group's forthcoming album, "The Formation of Damnation", due in North America on April 29 via Nuclear Blast Records." I predict it will be the metal album of the year.:notworthy

You can't get any more "old school" than DIO and seeing him was a dream come true for me. I saw him in Hermosillo, Mexico (a 3 hour bus drive from the city where I live). He's making a Mexican mini-tour before heading off to Europe. What was cool was that beside the usual classic songs (Holy...

Have you ever been dissappointed when you read or see and interview with one of your favorite hard rock/metal artists and you find out that they really aren’t that much into the music that they play? I mean, when they say things like “my real love is the blues” or admit to not really being fans...

Excluding compilations (greatest hits albums), of which bands do you own every single album they've put out? In my case, even though I have more than 300 cds to my name, most in the hard rock/metal genre, its Black Sabbath. I have every single studio and live album by this legendary band. Close...

I'm a big fan of the Mexican metal band Transmetal and I know James has worked with them producing and I think also guest soloing on a song. My question is: How did James hook up with Transmetal? Does James speak spanish? (Transmetal sings in spanish, though they have some songs in english). On...

I just found out there's yet another Testament "Best Of" compilation out called Days Of Darkness. It's a two CD set with first CD being a compilation of Demonic and The Gathering, while the second CD is just a reissue of First Strke Still Deadly. Track listing is as follows: Disc 1 1...

:confused: I recently came across at a local store a CD by Morgana LeFay which to my knowledge does not appear on either Morgana Lefay's or Lefay's discography. It is a CD titled simply Morgana Lefay with a cover that is very un-Morgana Lefay like, a photo of bullet being fired from a gun (the...

Today is my birthday and I will celebrate it by getting drunk, getting laid and listening to all of Testament's albums in chronological order. I also claim the title of the oldest Testament fan in this forum, I am 37 years old today. All must bow before me! Unless someone else challanges my...
