    No Coracao dos Deuses - featuring Sepultura

    Here's a recommendation for you old school Sepultura fans...well, to be honest, it's not Sepultura but it's a bunch of Brazilian musicians including Igor Cavalera and Andreas Kisser. The music is for a Brazilian movie of the same name, and if Sepultura were ever going to write music...

    P.M.R.C.

    Agreed - but I have to disagree with The World Needs a Hero being a viable Megadeth opus - I thought it was the final nail in their coffin, which, in hindsight, it pretty much was. Recycling Hangar 18, and putting Dread and the Fugitive Mind on that AGAIN (after Capitol Punishment) were low...

    most disappointing album

    Alice Cooper anyone? :grin:

    Best Concert You've Seen (Before1995)?

    Hello Mark ;) Correct me if I'm wrong, but that tour might have been 1998. I remember for two reasons: (1) I was in NY in 88 when GnR were touring with Aerosmith and somehow ended up seeing Public Enemy instead :lol: and (2) GnR played Donnington in '88 when Maiden were headlining with their...

    Angra

    heh - good memory about my Hammerfall experience. To be fair, I guess I need to give some of their older stuff a try, but without doubt, "Renegade" could be one of the worst CD's I haves ever bought. I don't mind cheesy songs - as you know I LOVE Rhapsody. But I have to admit, the whole "We...

    Most underrated albums?

    Haven't heard any Moonsorrow yet...aren't they like Finntroll? And re: Mithotyn - does anyone like Falconer? I mean, I like they're first CD (haven't heard #2), but I just don't hear anything as inventive as Mithotyn in this new direction IMO.

    Angra

    Hey Junnie - did you like the Dream Evil album? I have it, but I haven't heard it yet - any fave tracks?

    Hell Bent for Leather?

    I knew it - it's Rob wearing a wig...

    Heavenly-Underrated

    You do realize that ProgPower is a charity gig right? I mean, the only reason I bought a ticket was so the profits could go to bands that deserve exposure because they needed food or something. I dunno...:rolleyes:

    Angra

    :lol: I saw some guy the other day with a Twisted Sister tattoo - it was old and faded, like he'd had it done in prison with a rusty needle. The danger of getting band name tattoos done is that they make no sense when you're old and decrepid. I mean, what are you supposed to tell your kids...

    Demons & Wizards???

    Perfect Element sends me to sleep within seconds, it's just abysmal IMO (and I can't be bothered to back that statement up)....and I love Prog Metal if it falls within the calibre of Symphony X, Evergrey, The Tiles, and Threshold (maybe a few others). True - I will prefer the power metal bands...

    Because I was bored and had time on my hands

    I'm happy with Rhapsody being at the top of the list. Elvenking being second would have been cool too!

    Heavenly-Underrated

    Heavenly rule - Sign of the Winner is great (and fantastic production). As for being a Helloween clone, it depends on what era you're talking about. Anything past KOTSK2 doesn't sound like Heavenly. In all honesty, they sound most similar to Gamma Ray circa Powerplant.

    Special Guests - Who would you like to see?

    Andre Matos...just so he can see how much Angra have improved since Holy Land :grin:

    Demons & Wizards???

    ...and then we can all leave happy before Pain of Boredom take the stage... :lol:

    Looking for songs with amazing guitar solos.

    Yngwie, albeit talented, could have some of the worst solos of all time. I wish he would release albums without the obligatory masturbating mindless guitar widdles (because as a song writer he isn't half bad - his solos for the most part just need to be binned). I'll list him though... Great...

    Best Live Metal Act

    Well there's your explanation for why they've never endured the 24 hour flight again. If Iron Maiden only want 20 fans to show up, they can do that playing in their local public toilet.

    Dickinson or Di'Anno

    The band Blaze is soooo overrated. Silicon Messiah just 'seemed' plausible since X Factor and Virtual XI were shit in comparison and the fucker couldn't sink any further. Wolfsbane was good though.

    Guns N Roses 2002 - Are They the Real Thing or Just a Tribute Band?

    I thought Duff was still hanging around him?! :lol: what a joke. Thing is, Axl can keep the band name since it's his band. And if Tracii can use LA Guns...oh well, GnR had their day, and now Axl has become the Michael Jackson of 'metal'.

    Attack to Hammerfall

    I think the guy must have just heard Renegade...sheesh.
