    Best metal/hard rock live dvds

    I'm starting to digitize my live videos so I can watch them on my HTPC. I thought it would be cool to be able to play live concert videos when we have parties. I haven't got too many, so I want to see what you guys think are great/essential live DVDs of hard rock and metal bands, especially...

    Tabletop gaming

    I know Boob created a thread a long time ago about board gaming, but I want to find out who the tabletop (board/strategy/PnP) gamers are out there. Basically, what's your tabletop gaming history, and what do you like to play now? I've been into board games since I was a kid, playing Monopoly...

    Best quotes of the weekend - 2015 edition

    At Vespucci's eating dinner, I was trying to rush my wife (Yardleybates). She said, "You can't chug red wine," right as the guy who was working there was walking by. He looks at her and says, "Ever hear of the Roman Empire, or Vikings, or pretty much any civilization before the 1600s? You can...

    Win a guitar, help a charity

    You may have seen me post this on Facebook if we're friends over there. I belong to a group on Facebook called B.C. Rich Junkies. We are enthusiasts of B.C.Rich guitars, obviously. The community has decided to raise some money for charity. In order to do this, a brand new B.C. Rich...

    SiriusXM metal?

    Do any of you guys use SiriusXM satellite radio? Does it have any metal channels that are decent that make it worth paying for? Are there more than one metal station? If so, are there any that would appeal to a ypical PPUSA attendee?

    The history of heavy metal

    After reading some reviews of "Until the Light Takes Us" I decided to do some research on black metal since I was completely ignorant of the details of what went on with Norwegian Black Metal in the 90s. I knew about murders and church burnings, but that's about as much detail as I has at the...

    <sigh>

    Anybody else miss LotFP? I found out about so many bands that I love, and even more that I hated from LotFP. I wish there were anything that was half as well written today.

    Weird Therion connection

    Today I'm sitting around in a hotel room in Omaha and so I watched "A Fish Called Wanda" on TV. I noticed that the music that was played repeatedly throughout the movie sounded like a Therion song. I just went through a bunch of Therion songs, and I discovered that it is almost exactly the...

    Earplugs or not

    Every year there is at least one thread about buying earplugs for the festival. There are always people who don't use them. Here's a site that allows you to measure your hearing loss at high frequencies. It's a bit funky to get it to work, so I just clicked on it an let my system's audio...

    Oceans of Sadness website

    http://www.oceansofsadness.com/new_site/ (click on the pic for a larger version and the caption) I like stuff like this and the Delain video. Makes me think the bands had as much fun as we did.

    LotRO - pretty cool

    Yardley and I started playing Lord of the Rings Online since it went free to play. It's fun. However, we were hanging out in The Shire with our characters and there was another character who was a Hobbit minstrel. He was playing songs that were recognizable. It turns out that if you play a...

    All-star jam videos

    What happened to those? There was a post saying that a bunch would be posted, but I think only one, or maybe two were posted to the "progpowerusa" YouTube channel. I just checked, and only Zak doing "Children of the Sea" and Nils doing King Diamond are posted. Are there issues with bands...

    When bands "lose it"

    The QR thread brought up something in my mind that I've thought about many, many times. It has to do with bands who were once great, but become utterly "meh." Has anybody else noticed that for a lot of bands, when their lyrics suddenly all have ethical/moral/political themes, that the band...
