 | 0GuyMan0 Most certainly. The classic era is untouchable for me. I can find a track or two at least on each release that I dig, but those first six releases are front-to-back excellent.
|
 | Sabrutin Hey man! Cool to see some Q2K appreciation. They were left DeGarmo-less and tried their best at going on, adopting a mainstream sound sure but after all the previous record left them in a weird place. In the past year I've realized I like almost all of Q2K. The gospel-ish One Life is really cool! I wrote a review on rym to defend it haha
|
 | Titan YES I DO! their last great record during the Tate era....
|
 | Futures hell yeah danny. good to see you're still around! it's been such a fun time digging into them for the first time. more than long overdue as a metal fan. have had vol 4 on repeat these last few days.
|
 | SomeCallMeTim hell yeah. Not a huge fan of either but Jagger is easily superior to Lennon (barf) or McCartney and Stones hits
|
 | Rowan5215 hey man! I've been staff for years now but I appreciate it nonetheless lol. good to see you back
|
 | RunOfTheMill Nice, lemme know when it drops. I'm not on here everyday, so sometimes I miss stuff.
|
| RunOfTheMill The one and only DANNY is back in the game. What's up bro? I've been doing well, g'damn busy so not much sputniking but I will always have time for some Judas Priest hot takes!
|
 | manosg Hey Danny, all is well man. Haven't seen you around for a long time. I am doing fine, albeit not so active on here due to family and work obligations. How about you?
|
 | NeroCorleone Hey Danny, been a long time, how are you? No, he isn't one of my favorites, tbh I'm more a fan of certain styles of drumming rather than particular individuals.
|
| RunOfTheMill dude that 1.0 on Tony MacAlpine's Maximum Security is harshhhhhh
|
 | ezzomania All good man, no offense at all... I'm not Italian though haha. Seriously, very similar music taste though!
|
| manosg Hard to say, Danny. I love the music released during 1967-1973 but the '90s are also up there for me.
|
 | DominionMM1 sorry homie but i don't know who you are so no worries about any past offenses. as for our current political situation, im not sure i could address my thoughts and opinions in an appropriate manner in such a confined medium as the shoutbox.
|
 | ArsMoriendi You've never offended me lol. I guess I'm a moderate liberal.
|
 | NeroCorleone80 It gets a lot of hate, but I've always liked the Sabotage cover, especially Ozzy with the cape on the back cover
|
| Titan there are a lot, but i'd say myself, notrap, dewinged, manosg, teamster, facupm.....they are the ones that come to mind anyway
|
| manosg Yup, started with Deep Purple and Queen when I was 10-11. What about you?
|
 | zakalwe Woah. Hello dude. Yep when it comes to the best of the best they?re there or thereabouts
|
| NeroCorleone80 yea its just got no staying power. Still love most of the guitar work though.
|
| Rowan5215 hey buddy, been a minute since I saw you round these parts! how's things? yeah I think Abbey Road and especially Revolver are classics, love pretty much everything Harrison did, but after Revolver they just completely forgot how to make cohesive or consistent albums
|
 | Kaiwaz Dark Tranquillity kick ass!
|
 | StrikeOfTheBeast It's about as 'good' as Heretic which isn't saying much considering how average that album was.
|
 | Pon they have some great albums yes
|
 | TheSpaceMan yeah i have a love/hate with prog. the best of it is so well made and interesting to listen to but rarely do i care to actually put it on. floyd removed of course, they are all powerful
|
| TheSpaceMan KC has aways been largely uninteresting for me. in the court is obv influential but im not sure i'm able to honestly say its anything better than good to me
|
| NeroCorleone80 I dont listen to much thrash, but of those two Anthrax have more of a punk sensibility, which would appeal more to me.
|
| manosg Awesome. Reviews or not, your presence on here is always a good thing.
|
| manosg Hey buddy, really glad to see your message! Are you planning a comeback?
|
 | SharkTooth Hey man, I just wanted to say that I don't visit this website much anymore but I'm hoping you're okay over in Puerto Rico with the hurricane and whatnot
|
 | danielcardoso Ahah take your time man, put it out whenever you feel comfortable about it.
|
| ArsMoriendi Not really honestly. Even if he was good in Raising Arizona. Maybe as a minor role.
|
 | tempest-- T1, T2, Total Recall, Predator and uh I don't know... Kindergarten Cop lol
|
| tempest-- yeah man, I thought it was fantastic. Got me so hyped for the rest of the trilogy. Too many things left unanswered!
|
| ArsMoriendi Frances McDormand is married to one of the Coen Brothers.
|
| ArsMoriendi I haven't seen them all yet, I've only seem about 8 so it wouldn't be a fair ranking. Though if I ranked those: The Big Lebowski then Fargo then No Country For Old Men then Burn After Reading then Inside Llewyn Davis then True Grit remake then Raising Arizona then O, Brother Where Are Thou
|
 | mandan I've focused on other things. Hopefully, I'll dedicate more time to music this year. I imagine you're pumped to see the new Coen Bros. movie.
|
| ArsMoriendi I noticed you haven't rated an album in over a year, why is that?
|
| ArsMoriendi Pulp then Basterds then Dogs then Eight then Django then Jackie then Bill then Deathproof
|
| ArsMoriendi I only saw part of Bridge of Spies because I actually walked out of the theater halfway for reasons (that barely pertained to the movie) but it didn't seem that great from what I saw. Tom Hanks is kind of getting s***ty roles lately.
|
 | MrSirLordGentleman Emm that's difficult, I'd say Genesis maybe. Selling England is a classic and Lamb is awesome too, but I'm not a big fan of Nursery nor Foxtrot. What about you?
|
| tempest-- dude I am super hyped. got tickets to midnight opening. the only thing I'm worried about is if there's too much original trilogy fanservice. I want it to be new and creative. but I can't wait, I don't know if I've ever been as excited for a movie!
|
| tempest-- Nice, I watched all of them leading up to the release of Spectre. I'd say almost all of them are great with only 2 or 3 being unenjoyable. I liked Spectre a lot too, but I think it should be Daniel Craig's last one. Apparently his contract was for 5 films but I think it's time for someone new.
|
| tempest-- have you seen all the James Bond films?
|
| danielcardoso I didn't even remember that message anymore ahah. Cool man, I'll check it out when you have it done.
|
| danielcardoso I used to have the same opinion but I listened to it out of nowhere a few months ago, and it just clicked, have been coming back for it over and over again for the past couple of months.
|
| danielcardoso Dude, Lightning Bolt is great, kind of deteriorates in the final songs but there are some gems there. Getaway, Sirens and the title track especially are amazing. You were kind of hard on Vitalogy though, huh?
|
| danielcardoso Why Go is underrated for sure, don't feel so strongly about Rats though, I think it's actually my least favorite from Vs. If I had to pick 3 songs, it'd probably be Corduroy, Given To Fly and Jeremy, but there's so many to pick, you're right. State Of Love And Trust is also a strong candidate.
|
| danielcardoso Just curious. I'm a huge PJ fan myself, and I find it hard around here encountering massive PJ fans as you'd find massive Floyd or Zeppelin fans. You have a favorite song of theirs? Or maybe a top 5.
|
| danielcardoso Ah nice man, the site needs you around. Say, you're a big Pearl Jam fan, aren't you?
|
| tempest-- No, but I do want to buy the Bond 50 box set. I have seen a lot of them, but not all. Can't wait for Spectre.
|
| RunOfTheMill wow danny, you're really harsh with those Motorhead ratings
|
| ezzomania hey man... since we have such similar taste, i checked out all your 5 albums, and i must say im blown away man... seal, eurythmics, pet shop boys... all amazing albums. Cheers man, thanks for the (indirect) recs
|
 | CK I'm honestly not huge on films. I mean, I love movies as much as the next guy, but I don't fanboy out over directors or actors as much as I fanboy out to artists and albums. Tarantino is a very creative director, but I think he can be a bit full of himself. Probably my favorite film director at the moment is Christopher Nolan
|
| MrSirLordGentleman I've only checked the newer ones, I loved Skyfall but I hated Casino Royale
|
 | pissbore https://plug.dj/demonlab come to demon lab bro
|
| ArsMoriendi Coen Brother violence is less gratuitous and almost always has to do with the plot, whereas Tarantino violence can go either way. The dialogue will also go off tangent a lot more often into Tarantino films, he's a bit more scatter brained in his writing and directing I guess.
|
| ArsMoriendi That's because Jackie Brown is based off of a book.
|
| ArsMoriendi Yeah, all of the protagonists in Death Proof without exception are female lol.
|
| ArsMoriendi He also has an affinity for strong female leads: Jackie Brown, Kill Bill, Death Proof, Inglorious Basterds.
|
| Pon Oh my golly gosh yes
|
| manosg Nice, glad you're ok dude. Looking forward to your resurrection. And yeah, RIP B.B. King.
|
| manosg Hey Danny, what's up? Hope all's well.
|
| pissbore add me on fb bro http://www.facebook.com/organic.sludge
|
| Pon pls come back ;_;
|
 | GrandpaSeth3000 How is it going? Post in the Opeth/Death Club thread to discuss. - gs3k
|
| manosg Sweet, man. Take your time and don't worry. Are you going to review Deep Purple?
|
| SharkTooth Cause I like the irony of celebrating a cheerful holiday like Christmas with one of the most awful people in modern history
|
| manosg Happy new year man! Wish you all the best!
|
 | Egarran Unlike Rocka Rolla I didn't grow up with SAS, so it doesn't evoke any memories. But it does sound nice.
|
| ArsMoriendi Did you check Zoot Allures? Have you come to an opinion about OSFA?
|
 | Torontonian dont really know much about him myself, but that album highly impressed me!
|
| Torontonian aight, was just curious as you seem to dig a lot of classic rock type of stuff. Here's a link of one his concerts if you're interested. Its pretty damn long, but you can just listen to any song off there to see if its your thing. Cheers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06XvIxBJasA
|
| ArsMoriendi http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=153742 lol
|
 | adr the only song i've heard by them is Nil Recurring from the ep with Fripp on it and i rly like it, so yeah i'll check 'em in near future i hope, kinda busy with exams at this time of the year and i've already have some stuff to check before that. Also giving " Virtual XI" the same rating as "Powerslave", da **** dude? o_O
|
| ArsMoriendi Did you check Zoot Allures? or recheck One Size Fits All yet?
|
 | facupm my dad had some vynils and pink floyd cd's, so he made me listen to them since i was pretty young, and i love it at this point
|
 | Inveigh word check Swans out if you're into early to mid 90s Neurosis, they were definitely a huge influence. knowing your tastes it might be best for you to start with Swans at their newer material, but their 80s stuff is classic and all their material is pretty good.
|
| ArsMoriendi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZohG7JAPZag :)
|
| Rowan5215 Haven't listened to it in probably over a year so hard to say
|
| Inveigh I'm sure they did, to a certain extent. I think Swans were a bigger influence. What do you think?
|
 | Artuma uhhh well it's basically indie rock mixed with chamber music (the newest one leans more towards the sound of lcd soundsystem tho). check the song 'haiti' if you wanna get a glimpse of their older sound
|
| manosg I guess people tend to comment mostly on the biggest names when it comes to more classic stuff. Same happens with Rainbow, Gallagher, Santana, etc. What's your take?
|
| Inveigh Yeah probably, although Maiden's self titled and Powerslave are both close
|
| Sabrutin Yeah, we're not in a brilliant phase right now but as far as monuments and nature go Italy is definitely a fantastic place to visit. I would like more variety in the music sold in shops though, hahaha I have to use Internet for a lot of stuff.
|
| Sabrutin I'm from Lombardy, I live in a small town near Milan.
|
| manosg That's fine dude. If you decide to recheck them, I'd suggest you to begin with their earlier material which is more speed than power metal. First four albums would do the trick ;)
|
| manosg Hey Danny, ever checked anything by Blind Guardian?
|
| facupm ah i was figurin around 21 or 22 for you haha. Im 19
|
| facupm danny im just curious how old are you?
|
| facupm dude most of the songs are true jams: futureal is a nice opener, lightning rules, clansman is epic, when two worlds collide is a piece of mind worthy song, dont look to the eyes of a stranger is amazing (even if its kinda repetitive at a certain point) especially the multiple solo part man i love that album
|
 | ButteryBiscuitBass https://m.soundcloud.com/meus1/interlude-1 check my song bro, jammed out with my buddy.
|
 | JamieTwort Probably but I don't really think of early Opeth as "prog metal" tbh.
|
 | ExplosiveOranges Agreed. Their best might not be THE best, but it's definitely up there as well.
|
| facupm yeah i prefer virtual XI to every album that came after it x factor and matter of life and death is pretty hard though
|
| facupm agreed hard! sign of the cross is one of their best songs if you ask mein my opinion though, virtual XI is even more underrated than x factor and its a better album overall
|
 | Onirium Hmm... I'm not the biggest Maiden fan, so there are a couple of their albums that I've never jammed, but I'd say I'm familiar with everything except their 90s albums
|
| ArsMoriendi If you want a Zappa rec that's closer to hard rock, try Zoot Allures.
|
| ArsMoriendi I don't think you'd be a Ween fan though. Zappa on the other hand :P
|
| ArsMoriendi You just figured that out? lol it's always been Boognish (Ween's cult symbol) an yeah, they're like my 3rd favorite band.
|
| JamieTwort Their first 2 for sure. Too Fast For Love is my favourite.
|
| facupm haha no im not really, i love their first 2 though, the rest are miss or hit if you ask me
|
| ArsMoriendi Okay let's discuss this in the OSFA thread.
|
| ArsMoriendi Some Zappa is full on jazz-fusion actually.
|
| Titan i just think it comes down to the consistency in the songwriting. even though i don't absolutely love maiden's newer material, i find it to be superior to priests. don't get me wrong danny, i love judas priest too, it's just that maiden has always been one of my favorites. i used to stare at their artwork while i listened to the records as a kid and young man. still love it to this day.
|
| Sabrutin Yes I completely agree with you. Things aren't just black or white, good or bad. The post-PL material might not have masterpieces, but that doesn't mean that it's necessarily awful. Personally, I love "Some People Fly", for example.
|
| ArsMoriendi Awesome, tell me how you like it. If anything we can discuss it in the OSFA thread! :)
|
 | OmairSh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evMMGGcDoSA, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tH6D6anoSo
|
| ExplosiveOranges Eh, I prefer Death by a long shot. Altars of Madness is amazing, though.
|
| ArsMoriendi So you still haven't checked OSFA have you? :\
|
| ExplosiveOranges I'm assuming you wanna crack page 100 on SWoD when it gets to that point?
|
 | rockandmetaljunkie lol you don't have to be that serious, I hope this is just your sense of humor talking
|
| Pon 3.5 means great remember
|
| Pon What makes you say that :)
|
| NeroCorleone80 He's an amazing drummer, full of energy and no one blast beats faster. I prefer him to Reinert and Hoglan because of that.
|
| manosg That's good to know man.
|
| JamieTwort I think Purple always seemed a bit restrained in the studio. They were at their best in a live setting where they could be more energetic and stretch out a bit (or in some cases a lot), so yeah I agree.
|
| rockandmetaljunkie Hey man what's up, I would say Sabbath because Iommi's playing influenced me the most and along with Angus Young, he was directly responsible for forcing me to pick up the electric guitar in the first place.
|
| RunOfTheMill Deep Purple enters the same realm as ACDC for me - good rock, but nothing I've really been blown away by. I've listened to Stormbringer, Machine Head and Made in Japan, all of which were good but didn't have much of a lasting effect on me
|
 | Mythodea Yup, I couldn't agree more with you. DP are music 101 and it's a shame they're so underrated in this site. One would think their appeal here would be tremendous, as other, less significant bands are in the spotlight. I like DP a lot, saw them live three years ago and was thrilled. Vocals weren't that strong, but drums and keyboards were excellent. After '87 their qality takes some steps down and I think they only lived up to our expectations again with last year's Now What?
|
 | TalonsOfFire Machine Head and Fireball were major gateway albums for me in getting into hard rock and metal. I haven't listened to them in years, I've forgotten to rate a lot of 60's and 70's stuff I used to listen to on here.
|
| TalonsOfFire ofc, machine head is one of the first cd's I've ever owned
|
| manosg I think I had read about them in a magazine (probably Metal Hammer) and then a friend of mine gave me a greatest hits cassette. I liked the greatest hits and then I went and bought Paranoid which was like the best thing ever back then. How about you?
|
| NeroCorleone80 Yeah I really loved it after being disappointed hearing DT
|
| NeroCorleone80 Vincent's vocals were the biggest change. They got deeper with every album. Personally I prefer the raspier tone he had on Altars, but the vocals on Blessed and Covenant are great too. Domination not so much, although the riffs make up for it.
|
| ButteryBiscuitBass Altars for me deserves the attention it gets. They didn't make another album like that in terms of the raw energy and thrashiness. Blessed is almost sludgy/doomy in places and I dig that a lot, same with Covenant. The less said about domination the better. My favourites might have to ve the three with Steve Tucker though. Gateways is obscenely underrated and formulas is possibly the best album ever bro
|
| facupm oh yes he's very good, dont look for something on the dickinson vein thoughi know i have an unusual opinion regarding this, but as far as im concerned, virtual XI is the best album since the 80's, and a excellent one on its own... never understood why people hate it so bad, bruce fanboyism i guess
|
| facupm danny have you checked blaze maiden era??
|
| NeroCorleone80 Sabbath, Venom, Celtic Frost, Slayer and Angel Witch are the ones that come to mind
|
| ExplosiveOranges Especially considering Chuck's vocals on Symbolic and TSOP. Love 'em both, though.
|
| OmairSh There are still 8 comments dude
|
| OmairSh Haha well then tell Nero to write all the comments until we reach page 100!
|
| Mythodea My sister would listen to Bon Jovi during high school so I followed. Don't jam them anymore but, hey, nostalgia. As for Whitesnake, when I was in highschool I wanted to find music similar to Scorpions, whom I adored more than the world back then. And I stuck with them for some time...
|
| Mythodea Well, not completely my cup of tea. I don't like the vocals for the most part and that gets me off. I should love the genre, given its small relation with progressive metal, but I just can't stand the screaming, cut words spit out. But, on the other hand, I like some thrash metal bands a lot and I don't mind occasionally jamming smoe records. Though, there's where it ends.
|
| Mythodea Meh, I believe it's going to be an average kind of rating, nothing spectacular. Just what you would expect from a not-that-much of a fan that I am. I really like some records, but I think I'd give most albums a 3-3.5 with some exceptions for 4's and 2.5's.
|
| rockandmetaljunkie Ok. You know, one thing I have observed about you Danny is that you do engage in random conversations with other users in a daily basis, which is not a very common sight. But it is a good thing, talking, discussing. If you ever wanna ask me anything about music or anything else in particular, feel free to do so. I love discussions.
|
| rockandmetaljunkie Because I don't view Priest as a band who did many drugs back in their early days.
|
| rockandmetaljunkie I know that but why do you think Priest where high when they recorded that specific record ? Is it because of the album's spacey atmosphere and the fact that, it's one of their best ?
|
| rockandmetaljunkie Now, in to the topic, why do you think the chances of Priest recording Sad Wings under drugs are high ?
|
| Mythodea I was ready to ask you what kind of a question was that, but I realized I had no JP album rated. Thus, I have, at times I used to listen a lot. But I chose individual songs, so I don't believe I should hastily rate an album.
|
| OmairSh I have a lot of respect for the teaching profession since it's a very difficult one. But if you're not comfortable with something then it's good to move on from it eventually I guess. Which grades are you teaching?
|
| OmairSh Oh wow that's cool. Respect to you professor :-D. Sucks about the bad experience though, yeah I remember how some kids were douchebags when I was younger as well. Hopefully your next experience is better. Is teaching what you want to do in the long term?
|
| rockandmetaljunkie hahaha okay man, I thought you were talking about the possibilities of Maiden being under drugs when they recorded No Prayer, to which I answered that it wasn't drugs, imo the band had reached the limits of their creativity with Seventh Son.
|
| rockandmetaljunkie "Anyway, I wonder how many drugs these guys had in their blood when they did this." You were talking about Iron Maiden having recorded No Prayer, correct ?
|
| Mythodea Yeah, I like most of Maiden's work, but Killers sounds a bit flat to me. I rarely go back to Kllers and that's for a few songs only.
|
| NeroCorleone80 Probably because Maiden are just a bigger band, and even a lot of Priest fans usually dig Painkiller or British Steel more
|
| ExplosiveOranges Agreed. T/t is one of my favorite Maiden tunes of all time (minus the lyrics).
|
| OmairSh All the best with all the changes man, hope those goes well. What are you teaching? Same old same old at my end, nothing really interesting to speak of :P
|
| NeroCorleone80 Stained Class beats any Maiden aside from Powerslave for me. As for post-SC material I prob prefer SfV to Piece of Mind, but other than that yeah 80s Maiden is better than anything after SC.
|
| manosg Yup, Brave New World Tour 2000. It was the day I loved Maiden tbh. Up until then I wasn't a big fan.
|
| NeroCorleone80 Agreed. I dont know whether its guitar tone or just playing style, but ive always preferred Priest's guitar playing to Maiden's
|
 | TheNotrap Indeed. It's my favourite heavy metal band.
|
 | Necrotica No, I got taken off when I got banned. I have no idea when or if I'm returning to staff at this point
|
| ExplosiveOranges Can't argue with that. I just prefer Dickinson's stuff. It's def in my top 5, though.
|
| RunOfTheMill I've grown to like it a lot. It's not a "fun" listen, but really quite draining... Not something I'd jam in its entirety often, but I love how some songs drag with a simple, hypnotic riff or bass line. Just the incredibly heavy distortion, the droning vocals and guitars... It's like hearing an old horror story about drugs, mental illness, and death.
|
| RunOfTheMill Hey danny, I was wondering what your opinion on Alice in Chains' s/t. I think you've talked about it a while back, has anything changed?
|
| ArsMoriendi Definitely. Have you seen No Country for Old Men? :)
|
