    Is vs. Are

    Which do you use to refer to a band, or do you use only one specifically? I'll have to go with are.......that generally sounds better. I haven't really paid attention to it.....so what do you use? This poll assumes that we're talking about "bands" as in with multiple people in them and not...

    Steve Vai + Mattias Eklundh Jammed

    That would be Mattias Eklundh the Freak Kitchen guy. :p It's not much at all, but I saw him mentioned on the VAI news site, so I thought I would post it here. Seems pretty fitting since Mattias is definitely influenced by Steve. Maybe Mattias will be on G3 sometime, even though that's...

    A reason for Garm to be at Prog-Power?

    :p Master_Debater linked me to a new Garm (Ulver, ex-Arcturus, ex-Borknagar) sideproject, called 'Head Control System.' They're releasing an album in 2006. This is a collaboration between Daniel Cardoso and Kristoffer 'Garm' Rygg. Anyway, this is something actually heavy......if they...

    Just when I thought I had heard everything Ulver had to offer...

    I bought the 'A Quick Fix Of Melancholy' EP from The End table at Prog-Power, which is one of the last experimental Ulver things I didn't have. I had to make a thread about it, because this twenty-three minute EP is SOOOOO amazing. Most notable are the two vocal pieces, "Little Blue Bird" and...

    Garm Sideproject I just discovered...

    Someone told me yesterday about a Garm sideproject called 'Head Control System.' As opposed to sounding anything like his other projects, it's more like Alternative Modern Rock or something. It's a project between Daniel Cardoso (don't know him) and Garm. Anyway.......it's at least interesting...

    Problem with PPVI Sampler

    I was trying to listen to my Sampler just now, and I noticed a problem. "Disc I" and "Disc II" have the same tracks on them. Both my Disc I and Disc II have the tracks on them listed for "Disc I" in the booklet. Disc III has the correct tracks listed for Disc III, but I don't have the tracks...

    Nametags?

    There was some mention in various other threads that at the Fest in previous years, there have been UlimateMetal nametags somewhere for forum members. Any plans on doing that this year? I guess all that's needed is a stack of blank nametags and a marker at the front. :grin:

    How many of you have 'Blood Inside' as your album of the year?

    So far this year, 'Blood Inside' is the album of the year for me, and I think it will stay that way. Besides that, I've got like eight albums so far from this year, and will have like twelve before the year is over. My second tier of albums for the year would be, in no order: Fantomas -...

    Revamp of the Earthlink Live Site

    I was just checking it, and they've revamped it. This is the first time I'm getting to see pictures of the inside of the venue, and I've got to say.....it looks AWESOME. A very sleek looking place. Can't wait to be there. ^_^ http://www.earthlinklive.com/

    Opinions on Slough Feg?

    This band seems to be really popular with the group of non-power metal fans I talk to, I hear lots of praise for 'Avatism' (their new album this year). I was wondering what the opinions were of the people here. I've been listening to some of their songs on and off. It's rather hard for me to get...

    The "What are you preordering?" thread....PART II

    Shadows Fall: metalcore or thrash?

    Just to show some variation in opinions here from another forum.......I think they're definitely metalcore, unless they've done some megachange on their newest album. >_>

    'Sideshow Symphonies' has leaked

    I know GoD was really looking forward to this one, too bad he's banned. :grin: Anyway, getting it now, I'll see what it's like. I'm preordering it right now. It's the new Arcturus in case anyone has been out of the loop.

    Favorite country for music?

    What is your favorite country for metal or music? I'll have to go with Norway. A whole bunch of great progressive bands are there. It's probably got the greatest number of bands I listen to. It also has most of the post-black scene, which is progressive for me......and then also some great...

    Ultimatum For Anonymous Nick...

    It has been long enough. I, on behalf of the whole board hereby demand that you post your rendition of the "CHAK CHAK CHAK CHAKA CHAKA CHAKA CHAKA CHAKA" part from "Goodbye Sober Day" by Mr. Bungle. For starters. If he doesn't, he will always be known as a crappy vocalist who could never...

    In case anyone actually still thought Dream Theater weren't nu-metal...

    This should clear all those thoughts up for you.

    How about some more power metal like Ark?

    I'm quite picky with the relatively small amount of power metal I listen to, but I bought 'Burn The Sun' by Ark recently and completely love it. I've absorbed the whole album, and if they were headlining Prog-Power this year, I'd be set. Anyway, I was thinking I would write the main things...

    The Prog-Power VI Band Setlist Topic

    Just a little over a month out from the festival now.....so I thought I would make this topic. Here's where we can post recent set lists from bands playing next month. If you're like me, you like to have an idea of what a band will be playing before you see them, especially if it's a band you...

    Really, really, really tiny "issue" with 'The First Chapter' ^_^

    I was just listening to "Glory Of The Empire." And I noticed something..... Has anyone else noticed how.....loud the fret slides on this song are. On the acoustic section at the beginning. That would be just when the guitarist slides his hand up or down quickly to go to another position on...

    Nice....Cryptopsy looking for a second live guitarist...oh and the new album is done

    I'm quite interested to see that Cryptopsy are looking for people to send in their stuff to apply for the position of "second live guitarist" for Cryptopsy. I had assumed they just would have asked someone they knew, like last time with Dan Mongrain. I guess there isn't anyone else. Anyone...
