    New Found Glory new video feat. Jordan in a Nuclear Assault shirt

    I'm only posting this because the board's been pretty quiet for a few days. This song is not bad. Jordan appears to be beefed up significantly since I last saw him (NFG tour in 2009). http://youtu.be/akCQa-yKqxA p.s. Apparently I have no idea how to embed a video!

    Gus Monsanto singing in Human Fortress

    Despite "Defenders of the Crown" continuing to be one of my fave power metal albums from last decade, I completely lost track of these guys after they split with Jioti. Now they have a familiar face at the mic: Gus Monsanto, whose voice lacks the distinctive character that Jioti had, but he's a...

    is House of Lords on tour?

    X-posted this question on a couple forums because I'm having trouble nailing this down. There's a western MA show listing for a band called House of Lords on July 13 but there's no link to a band website so I can't tell for sure if it's the CA melodic/AOR band. It's in two days so I want to...

    Have you ever mis-identified the band you were seeing at a show?

    I've done it a few times. Once was the first/only time I saw Halford and they had Primal Fear opening. When Primal Fear got on stage I was really confused because they looked like what I was expecting Halford's band to look like, and they sounded like it too. It wasn't until close to the...

    how long is Devy's headliner set on this tour?

    Time-wise. Is it 2 hours? Is he playing anything pre-Ziltoid? His show here got lumped into a bigger show 10 million bands I don't care about, so I am giving some thought to possibly trekking out to see him in Poughkeepsie at The Chance, where I've never been. According to google maps, it's...

    Mastodon in Maine tomorrow (Sept 21)

    Day off from the AIC tour or something. I probably won't go, but the listing jumped out at me because how often does a major metal band play in Maine? I don't think I've EVER heard of it! (Granted, I've only been paying attention for the past couple of years) Mastodon (with Waranimal)...

    Viathyn - nicely done power metal from Canada

    Their full debut album is streaming at www.myspace.com/viathyn I read about them at random and checked it out. It's pleasantly listenable power metal with good, tight musicianship, thoughtful song arrangements, and shredding guitar solos. Not original or experimental, but they "carry the...

    who's the death-black vendor this year?

    I didn't see a finalized vendor listing on the website (maybe I just wasn't looking at the right page). Did an extreme metal focused vendor get confirmed this year?

    long-running bands whose newest albums are underrated

    I've got a few picks: 1. Fates Warning - FWX. I keep reading/hearing that people consider this largely a throwaway, but I think it's got everything a good Fates album should have. Loved it since release, but right off the bat the first friend I played it for hated it. 2. Whitesnake - Good...

    Free Spirit (melodic rock)

    I just heard them today and am immediately hooked! My interest in AOR/melodic rock started out small but is accelerating. When I come across stuff like this it really makes me sit up and pay attention. Totally hook-filled, melody-focused hard rock. The singer simultaneously reminds me of...

    Blackguard

    A band seemingly on every metal tour in the U.S. for the past couple of years. This sets them up to be easy-to-hate due to audiences getting tired out fast, but I figured I'd give them an honest listen and I can't deny that I kind of like the stuff on their myspace. I was expecting way worse...

    favorite Bob Catley releases and entry points?

    For years Bob Catley has been my favorite voice on Avantasia and recently Ayreon. But I never investigated where he came from. I understand he was in the band Magnum and has some solo work as well? Any big fans on the PP board? Rec's welcomed!

    Edguy's power ballads

    I was just thinking this because I'm listening to Tinnitus Sanctus now. One thing that, in my opinion, hasn't changed from Edguy's power metal period to their current hard rocking phase is the consistent strength of their power ballads. From The Scarlet Rose to...uh, Thorn Without a Rose, and...

    Saturday arrivers thread!

    :) Anyone else only able to make Saturday? I would've been unable to go at all this year if it weren't for Glenn re-instating single-day tickets! What a gift! Now I finally get a chance to see FW for once...and in a top-billed slot, too. Until then, I just have to get through two more...
