    Favorite Blind Guardian Album

    As far as songwriting, i would have to say "Nightfall..." is their strongest album, also in guitar work. The solos on Nightfall are the absolute epitome of progressive medeival music. The vocals are exceptionally well produced, and i'd have to say the title track, Nightfall, is Blind...

    Savatage Dumps Frost

    I feel a bit of sympathy for Jack Frost after reading a post on his official website, he was said that Savatage lied to him as well as led him on to believe he would participate in the next album and tour and then they dumped him for their "boy", but i feel that Savatage is definitely a stronger...

    Whose going to Iced Earth/Jag Panzer/In Flames?

    I'm gonna go see Iced earth, Jag Panzer and In FLames for sure...I think the combination of bands was very well selected for the tour, providing a variety of power, progressive and melodic death...fans of either of the three bands that want to see one great performance after the next, then go...

    I agree!...reign in the Elvenking, he dwells lonely in his forest of pagan rituals and white willows... "Then all the fouls stay silent and the leaves end their fall Suddenly i realize the earth is breathing with me...

    Sonata Arctica Must Be Summoned

    Silence is great, but i honestly prefer "Ecliptica", their debut...it is in my opinion just nearly perfect of an album...the songwriting is amazing and Tony Kakko hits higher notes...which isn't a deciding factor in the least...but there are a few times when it's very powerful ..."Full Moon" and...

    to those of you who attended PP 2.0..

    I really enjoyed all the sets by each performer..i'd have to say that Kamelot was absolutely amazing, as the vocals were strong and resonating, the guitar was clear, and when the female guest vocals appeared i thought that was cool as hell, as it added to the stage show. Ark kicked ass as well...

    Sonata Arctica Must Be Summoned

    I hereby command all metalheads to a unification around the table of justice!...There is a finnish band by the title SONATA ARCTICA that are tearing it up, despite being foreshadowed by the imperious reign of Stratovarious and their disciples, as much as i heed their call as well. But the time...

    Dream Theater's Phoenix Performance

    Damn, seems like everyone got shafted with crappy venues or whatever, cause i just saw Dreamtheater in Chicago and the sound was very good i thought. It was at Vic Theater downtown and there was clear distinction between all the instruments, with a really good drum sound. The guitar was a bit...

    Axel Rudi Pell

    That brings up an interesting point actually...i could never understand what was the hype surrounding Nirvana...in my opinion this band is nothing more than a semi-average rock band (i'm being generous, disguising my loathing for them) with poor, monotonous vocals, boring and ambiguous lyrics...

    Axel Rudi Pell

    I don't mean to sound like an asshole here, but i've heard thousands of metal bands now and i can say that there are so many great guitar players out there that there is no possible way to say that there is a "best" player. I play guitar myself and when i listen to music i have certain things i...
