    Worst purchase/Disappointment

    Wow. Wayward Sons is the original SkyClad album. Most people I know love it. It's raw because their sound was still developing. But I still love that album. Each to their own of course :Spin:

    Ease the sphincter folks...

    If you folks are leaving at 7:45am from SFO, then that's 10:45am EDT. You'll be arriving around 2:45 EDT I'm guessing. I will be heading into the airport about an hour earlier, 1:55pm EDT. It's going to be a rough ride. So far Atlanta is not reporting any cancellations. Just called...

    It's going to be awesome. Too bad about Zak, hope he gets well.

    Ease the sphincter folks...

    This was posted on weather.com a little while ago: Hurricane Ivan appears to be keeping the northern Gulf Coast in its crosshairs. Residents from southeastern Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle should prepare for a powerful shot. Ivan is not expected to be a category five storm when it...

    Ease the sphincter folks...

    I'm sorry you aren't coming and I don't know your financial situation so just ignore me :grin: I know on Priceline you can sometimes rent cars for really cheap. I got one for $14/day unlimited mileage once. Of course the price depends on where you are renting it from. You could rent it...

    Hurricane Ivan.....

    My flight leaves Milwaukee at 1 PM eastern on Thursday. If the flights can't go I'm just going to rent a car and drive down. I'll miss the Thursday pre-show party, but oh well.

    Ease the sphincter folks...

    Wait a minute. You are in NEW ORLEANS and you're worried about a flight?!? Rent a car! I'm probably going to drive from Milwaukee if my flight is cancelled! As my tour manager used to say, "Make it happen!" :hotjump:

    Evergrey: Best Served Live, Not Studio

    I've seen Evergrey twice live. The first was @ Six Pack last year, where they were very good. The second was in Milwaukee with Iced Earth, where I thought they were only so-so. As far as I'm concerned Evergrey's studio albums have more dynamics than their live show brings. But that's just...

    Is Evergrey a Christian band?

    The album is clearly anti-cult, or anti-fanaticism in my view anyway. But I wouldn't call it anti-christian at all. Clearly Evergrey is not a Christian band. Tom's words "I am my own god walking earth"--or something to that effect--kind of puts that idea to rest :) It's a well-written...

    Has everyine checked out tad Morose ?

    I've been listening to Tad Morose since the first album. They've always been a highly underrated band. It will be fun to finally see them live.

    They say Quorthon died today

    I'm not saying I know anything because I don't. But I did follow Bathory up until after the Hammerheart album. So let me take this opportunity to caution all of you. This is just the sort of thing Q would pull as a prank. If he's really gone, then so be it--I am sorry. Ultimately...

    Pat Carlsson leaves Evergrey, replacement announced.

    That's a huge loss...

    The album that got you into metal.

    It was Judas Priest--Screaming For Vengeance. After that, Iron Maiden--Piece of Mind, and it was all over. I still remember my parent's look of horror as they realized I was lost forever --S

    evergrey's new drummer won't be legal to drink when coming over

    Wow, that could be a problem. Pat's drumming was incredible. Those are some pretty big shoes to fill. Losing the keyboard player was one thing--this is much more serious. --S
