    Thank you

    Yeah, I still have those moments running through my head even now. It was truly amazing. So much heart and soul poured into those vocals.

    Cheers and Jeers

    I thought the sound was absolutely perfect for most of the fest (Thursday not so much until a couple songs into VP's set). I had regular foam plugs and just had them barely wedged in my ear just to attenuate the volume where I was closer to a speaker. The lineup was amazing. I wish I had...

    No thread about Haken yet? :O

    I wasn't all that into them after listening to their CD, but it could have been that I was listening to it before going to bed so I was probably already half asleep... :lol: Nothing really stuck in my head... Live, the sound was spot-on, there was plenty of energy, they played tight, and I was...

    Within Temptation in NYC this Saturday

    Nope, just go up the stairs. There is a VIP section in there with seats and stuff, but the rest is fine for regular folk. Most of the people I've known in VIP have been on a guest list of some sort (for the band or for the label)

    Within Temptation in NYC this Saturday

    Maybe she took so long coming out from backstage because she took a shower... :lol:

    THERION destroyed Center Stage

    I don't think Vikstrom's daughter was able to pull off the exact style that Kat has in her vocals. The most disappointing song of the set was Sophia, which is a song I absolutely love, but it just didn't grab me emotionally like the rest of the set did due, not to her vocal ability, but to her...

    Thank you

    It was great seeing you perform and meeting you! Hope you visit again before too long :)

    Anthrax, Testament, Death Angel: Tour Dates Revealed

    Hopefully they manage to muster up an NYC gig on the 7th or 9th... Always annoying to see Testament go on tour and never hit NYC.

    Metal cd store in NYC?

    Well, they chose to get out while they were still in ok condition financially instead of plowing ahead till bankruptcy. The physical CD stores just aren't as important to the music industry as they once were... let alone any discussion of the physical CD product's importance... Just gotta change...

    Creation's End & Suspyre Live in New York City

    I might be leaving for Vegas that night :(

    PAINTED IN EXILE (BTBAM-Fans this band is ridiculously good)

    I think I've seen them live. At least I think that's how I have a copy of their CD... If I'm remembering it all correctly, I was pretty impressed by their live show.

    Within Temptation's Unforgiving

    I'd rather listen to her collab with Armin Van Buuren than listen to Faster, but it's ok... HOWEVER, the promo video has some background music which sounds pretty damn EPIC! :rock:

    Elis

    Griefshire is a much heavier album... guitars, growls, drums, all heavier than their other releases. Check it out too... you may or may not like it, but I think you'll be surprised at the difference in sound :) I'd say the other albums are pretty similar to Edenbridge at a first approximation.

    EVERGREY / SABATON N.A. tour.

    Blackguard has gotten a lot better lately... the new songs are actually quite decent and they do put on a good performance live. I don't mind seeing them a few times a year. They're also crazy Quebeckers so they're fun to hang out with.

    Jaxx makes TMZ

    I've never heard of a true pay-to-play situation in NYC, only in LA. They do the same deal with requiring a certain number of ticket sales. You buy the tickets at face value and sell them for whatever you want. BB King's could be different, but that's a shithole. Nokia may be different, but...

    Your vote counts... do you like this band?

    Yeah, I think all they need is some money to get better production and then send them on tour. Sounds like a perfect addition to your portfolio, Lance.

    Zonder touring/playing in Fates

    If Mile Marker Zero were opening, I'd definitely be there. Since there not, I'm not so sure. They'd be a perfect fit for direct support on the main stage, too. :(

    So, who else thought Suspyre rocked?

    BTW, this was something like their 3rd gig with that drummer and bassist, and one of the guitarists recently switched to guitar once they found a regular bassist.

    Friday-Maiden shirt day!

    What's wrong with that? :lol:

    Eluveitie

    I think it's not even that it's all acoustic, but more that there are only really 2 actual songs on the whole album. The rest of it is just background music I imagine I'd hear with a bunch of stoned druids around a campfire. Kinda neat, in terms of setting up atmosphere, but not something I'd...
