...but I am going to recommend one of the best albums I have heard in a long time and its the new Machine Head album, The Blackening.

Some of the best guitar riffs written recently I reckon. If you like metal or good guitar, its worth a listen.

Theres some made up vid for the first track on youtube:

The sounds a bit crap, but you'll get the idea.

Me like
I normally listen to Dream Theater, Epica, Nightwish, that sort of stuff but i think il download this tomorrow.

Got the full back catalogue of nightwish material, some good stuff in there . Dream Theatres new album is very very good too. Got it?

The Blackening is a very good album indeed. Slightly different to MH's normal stuff, but in a way its just a progression and maturing of the music I think.

If you buy it you get a pretty cool dvd with a shed load of concert footage etc. Or maybe I am just sad enough to watch it Its only £9 off amazon

Iv got all nightwish and DT material even their latest. Not quite as good as Octavarium IMO but i still love it ]
Cant wait for nightwish new single released at the end of the month now that tarja has left

crazy folks

I'm probably too old.

Like to listen to my highshool music,
Like U2, Iron maiden, guns 'n roses, sometimes AC/DC or even fisher Z
But also Cranberries, Anouk, sheryl crow, evanescense, good old kate bush and senaed o'conner.

Tried stuff like Saxon and Motorhead. But it was not my style.

Hey I like all sorts of stuff.

My music collection is vastly varied, and I dont care what anyone says about it.

I have everything from Bryan Adams (all of it - sad eh?) to Thrash and Death metal.

Huge Maiden fan (ring on my right hand is a Maiden one), also huge Sabbath and Ozzy fan along with BLS

GF is a big Evanescence fan. While on subject of female rock/metal singers, Lacuna Coil (google image search - Christina Scabbia ) and Within Temptation are good too.

I do have a big dislike for U2 though.

Cool
Shame i cant wear band merch at work (it would probably scare all my customers)


flak monkey - 22/5/07 at 09:15 PM

Scary, nah not me I try to be friendly most of the time

As a group at uni, the rock and goth societies probably look the scariest (sometimes), but we are the nicest group of people you could hope to meet. Willing to accept anyone.

Mind you, having said that, I wouldnt get away with it at work either, but then I work in an office dealing with reps etc so not a good idea really. I get enough stick for having long hair, which is just rediculous considering it usually comes from a couple of bald/skinhead blokes.

I mean, how can you find this scary? LMAO!?



edited to change pic, to something less scary

David, I think you have discovered THE best way to hide all that muck under your fingernails after working in the garage! Genius.

Yes, the ladies don't like grubby fingers...

Much easier to cut the nails off than clean under them!

Much like circumcision
