I do like Dream Theater's cover of Comfortably Numb though.

I listen to Rammestein some as well but I'm American and don't understand any of the words so I prefer SoaD, the beat is good to Rammestein's music but thats all I can judge it by so I don't play it too often.

Mezmerize was very good, the words and music are actually pretty hypnotizing as with their other cds, I thought that their music might kinda drop off after "toxicity" since an album like that is hard to beat (in my opinion) but after buying these cds I must say that I'm not dissapointed at all.

The only thing that I didn't like about mezmerize is that it was kinda short. You can check out some other reviews here on Amazon just scroll down a little from the screen it takes you to and there's the reviews. Seems that most every SoaD fan liked Mezmerize and my personal opinion for another SoaD fan: get it.

You can also check out their main site to play two of their mezmerize songs, "Question!" and "Byob" both I thought were good and the others are good too. Convenient link here.

So SRY. I have totally mixed things up. I have Mesmerize and not Hypnotize.

Sry about that but I do apritiate the effort.
I'm gonna get me Hypnotize as soon as I have enough cash.

I also have no clue what Rammestien is singing about but when you get the lirics some of it is pretty cool.

Thanks agian Klin.

Rammstein just doesn't do anything for me except make me push the off button on whatever audio device happens to be playing it.

Every song is repetitive, and mixes techno/electronica with metal in a way that just doesn't please me.



On a better note, I just learned that Queensryche came out with a sequel to their 1988 release of the album Operation: Mindcrime this year. Believe it or not, it's called Operation: Mindcrime II. (How clever) Anyway, I have high expectations for the album both musically and lyrically, since the first one told such an amazing story.

I'm a newbie to Queensryche, but I'm trying to get my status up to Supreme Fan.

Im listening to: RJD2, "Butterfly Caught Remix"

Its perdy unique, seeing as how rdj2 goes beyond scratching and mixing.... the majoirty of his mixes are soothing.... and can sometimes get you in diffrent moods, check it out sometime.... you wont regret it(unless ur an anti hip-hop person)

At the moment I'm listning to Black Diamond Brigade, with Black Diamond. Playing the coverversion of the Kiss-classic «Black Diamond».

The band is built up by several artists... We have Torgny Amdam as the vocalist from the norweigan punk band Amulet. Backed up by the two guitarist Knut Schreiner and Sigurd Wongraven from the two norwegian bands Turboneger and Satyricon. Drums is Tarjei Strøm from Ralph Myerz & The Jack Herren Band, the bass is played by Billy Gould, from the american Faith No More.

Results of all of them is a good sharp and strong song with good tempo. Metal / Hardrock song

For all you non german speaking dudes and dudettes:

Du Hast:

Du Hast mij gevraagd
(You Asked Me a Question)

Ek ik had nieks gesaagd
(And I said nothing)

I have no idea what they say in the rest of the song, this is basically the intro.

Hahahaha...that is so cute! You're dutch, aren't you?

I wanted to say something, but in second thought I hold it back... not knowing what Stargel could do to me

Over here thought...

Been listning to some different stuff here... I've summoned into my playlist some good old songs by Foo Fighters. Along with some Queenryche, don't really think their music is that good thought - I like the rather fast moving stuff which I really notice when I listen to it, but then again, some of it it's pretty good. Also listning to some different Gluecifer songs...

But now... A good old, chill and funny song by Foo Fighters...

Foo Fighters - For all the Cows

I'm called a cow... ... *swings his head from side to side in rythm with the song*

What songs did you listen to by Queensryche, if I may ask?

I'm glad that you tried them out at least, even if you don't like them. (Not many people I know like them either)

Let's see... the songs I got from my friend was:

• Take Hold of the Flame
• Eyes of a Strange
• Empire
• I Don't Believe in Love
• Walk in the Shadows

I wouldn't say any of them was fitting totally into my taste, good but not so fit for me. But I really loved Walk in the Shadows thought

Ze new Hoobastank!!!

I'd try the first few tracks on the first mindcrime album. They're actually my favorite.

Revolution Calling, Spreading the Disease, Speak, The Mission, etc.

Sidenote: I bought Mindcrime II the other day, and it was actually highly disappointing, but still alright. I think it's quite obvious that Degarmo left the band.

im listening to Daft Punk's 'Digital Love' haha... i almost forgot daft punk's music is soo good..... ya'll should check it out some time, im sure you will love it ^^

I'll try out those songs than, thanks for the sidenote too... doubt that Mindcrime II would be anything for me than

Today, I've thought of buying Gluecifer Automatic Thrill album and maybe look at some new too, some I haven't heard about, know the guy who works in Platekompaniet a good music shop here in Norway. Maybe he has some advice for me

Anyway, I'm still listning to Dream Theater, atm I'm listning to Erotomania

I'm listening to Kiss, can't remember the name of the song, but its not one of their good ones. Well actaully I am watching it, it is the 10 ten hair metal on TV, all the songs are old school despite the fact long hair never died in metal but old school suits me fine.

It was only disappointing for me because I was pretty much expecting the same '80s metal style and didn't get it. I got a more modern subgenre of rock that I can't put my finger on. I've still been listening to it though; sometimes things like this have to grow on you.

Erotomania is a beast on guitar. Speaking of which, I have to go pick mine up.

While your there Danny...

Get some paintwork done:



Fell of the chair when I watched the live video where Morello played with that guitar, lol - looks great

Listening to Nightwish Bless the child...so atm I am also browsing the forum, and also reading a bit on the history of Nightwish, found out that their new vocalist will be revealed by the end of the yer, so then I have something to look forward to.

'last night, i had a dream about you...

In this dream i was dancing right beside you'

oh... sorry im listening or... should i say watching the Anime DvD of Daft Punk..
Inersteller 5555.. sumthing like that... yeah im just going on a daft punk frenzy...

Listening to Daft punk: Something about us ...kinda wish i had the album tho..

Listening to Inferno (Unleash the Fire) by none other than the great Symphony X.

I've taken a much too long break from Symphony X lately, so I decided to remedy that situation with the sounds of the Oddyssey.

DUDE! I seriously like your music taste!
I have the album, and it's pretty cool, my fav on there is AERODYNAMIC.
The hole song is almost a guitar solo.
The other day I saw a new album they have brought out, wana get thet one aswell.

Iknow... Daft punk is perdy awsome(tho im not really into heavy techno) yeah, im now listening to Digital love by Daft punk (again ) haha aerodynamic is perdy cool.... its like caffine for the daily music freak(me being oth of them )

You listen to Night Wish too?... I usualy dont like listening to anything that is not heavy but when I first heard Night Wish I fell in love... the chick can sing so good... unlike the other guy who sings... I think he is the bassis... he sucks at singing... he should stick to what he is good at... and that is not singing... by the way they have a new vocalist? What was wrong with the old one?

Don't remember - but the news got out a couple of months ago that their current vocalist has been or is going to get kicked. Don't know why but they are getting a new one as Tellie said.

I'm listening to a bit Type-o-Negative. I know some think it's girlie music, but there's a few songs covering Ozzie! How could that be wrong?

Actually, scratch that. The moment is over. Now I'm listening to Infected Mushroom!
Strange, I have pretty much all their albums, but I keep going back to Converting Vegetarians - perhaps it's because of Blink. That song rocks. The singer has such a seksi voice, too!

Man that sucks... I mean that realy sucks... o well... I stil have Devil Driver...

I gotta give a head's up to some sweet Canadian music. So right now I'm giving props to Strapping Young Lad, an industrial/thrash metal band based in BC. Anything from the two albums I have by them, City, and Alien, are insane! If you're really into heavy double bass drumming, you'll definately like this. I'd suggest listening to AAA off the City album, and Love? off the Alien album. Can't wait for 'The New Black' to come out next month.

Rock on! \m/ (o_0) \m/

Strapping Young Lad kicks a$$... I have only heard "Love?" but that is a realy good song... I had no clue that they were from Canada... but yeah... they deserve Kudos... so... Kudos...

That is my all time favorite Doors track. I hadn't heard much the Doors before I saw the Oliver Stone movie. That was one great movie! It got me hooked on their music (and fascinated by Jim Morrison, for that matter).

I'm a bit surprised to see so many of the young ones here listening to Iron Maiden, Queensryche, AC/DC etc. btw. Those were big when I was a kid! (and that is a looooong time ago, at least physically... ). But then again I was equally surprised 3 years ago when I watched my nephew play a skateboard game on some console, where the general theme music was olden rock'n'roll goldies by AC/DC, Iron Maiden etc. He was a big Maiden fan at the time, btw (he was 16).

Anyway I'm still preparing for the Roger Waters in town next week, so I'm listening to Pink Floyd. No music I've ever heard since Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall have ever reached that level of perfection for me, although Marillion came close when Fish was still the singer.

Just because it's old doesn't mean it's bad. I'm a huge Judas Priest fan myself. Then I also enjoy the 80s thrash still, like Anthrax and Megadeth. But then I'm into more current stuff as well, like Kanye West, or Three Days Grace (another awesome Canadian band). I just enjoy a lot of different genre of rock for the most part. But then there's guilty pleasures like the Beastie Boys or K-Os.

Keep rockin'! \m/ (o_0) \m/

i found this one english/jap. hybrid band called love psychedelico... im currrently listening to Fantastic world.... nice song... cant complain about the japanese in it either....tho im not good at japanese

I'll throw this in here...


Thought of buying some of Opeth records today, along with their live DVD - Heard some of their songs, it's not bad

I'm listening to some John Mayall. Haven't listened to him in a while now, but this morning, I really felt like listening to some good blues.

*sighs* I wish there was more music made by both Santana and John Lee Hooker. Their song "Chill Out" is one of the greatest Blues songs ever!

I have started to strangely enough listen to a whole lot of country lately, I got sorta facinated by i all of a sudden, so atm I'm listening to Achy Breaky Heart by Bill Ray Cyrus.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Don't get corrupted by that evil force Tellie... Be strong...

Damn, I get chills up my spine listning to country and danseband

You have taken me back to the light side of the force......I changed song to Ghosts Love Score by nightwish, end of an era...
Damn that song is soooo good, and it last for a whole 10.02 minutes.

And I just heard that Tarja Tuurunen(the earlier vocalist in Nigthwish), will enter a solo record this year....really looking forwrad to that one.

Oh Stargie! John Mayall...mmmm, one of my favourites as well....


uhhhh country is ok but.....danseband..is AWFUL!

Nah I think I´ll put on Welle: Erdball, "Käfer und 1000 Tage!!! Just awesome!

I started my childhood liking country but that's probably due to my mom loving it. I have since grown out of it, though every now and then I'll still enjoy a good Garth Brooks song.

Also yea, gotta dig the Opeth stuff. Personally I find their acoustic stuff fantastic. Damnation is easily my favourite album with 'In My Time of Need' as the most beautifully haunting song I've listened to for quite some time.

Keep rockin' \m/ (o_0) \m/

wow..... i almost forgot that Queen got me into music.... right now im listening to 'love of my life' really nice song.....

Currently, I am listening to Holland 1945 by Neutral Milk Hotel.

i'm listening to Kryptonite by Three Doors Down. wow i used to like this song so much.

Still listning to some Disturbed over here, mostly from the albums The Thousand Fists and The Sickness. Pretty much like KoRn, even thought from the songs I've heard - Disturbed is pretty much the same metal through-out their songs, playing mostly Metal. While KoRn has more Alternative, Rock, Industrial and Metal music. But anyway, I think both are pretty good...

Guarded, by Disturbed

At the moment im listening to Metallica song the unforgiven 2 then probally some Iron maiden, then some offspring, then some bad relgion alll amazing bands , then maybe ill listen to abit of mercyful fate, without a doubt king diamond one of the best rock singers because he cna change the pitch of his voice from low to amazingly high cant remember the techincal turn.

BTW as i was writing this my cd chamged to the song Poison by Alice cooper another great song

Maybe listen to a little Judas preist or megadeth

omg, disturbed is one of my favorite metal bands ever. Down with the sicness is definately my favorite song.

Hehe, Down with the Sickness is pretty well-known for it's intro

A little Symphony X again, because I use it as inspiration when I'm writing actually. Anyone another great song, not too heavy either but very chill to listen too and has always been nice to listen to when I write.

Candlelight Fantasia, by Symphony X

Nice to see some people digging Disturbed and Judas Priest, and Megadeth. Quality stuff if ya ask me. I would just like to recommend a good progressive metal band, The Devin Townsend Band. Just fantastic all the different layers and sounds they use.

For instance, one of the tracks sounds like a funky polka! Polka! It's called Vampolka, and it basically flows right into a solid rocker, Vampira.

Really cool, and sometimes funny, stuff.

Keep rockin' \m/ (o_0) \m/

Well, I just bought the AC/DC album For those about to Rock. Listening to the song It's a Long Wy to the top(if you wanna rock and roll)

And tomorrow I'm going to the Pink Floyd consert here in Stavanger, so I'll enjoy some good music tommorow as well.

I'm going to that as well, of course! And unless I've misunderstood (which is certainly not the first time), it's tomorrow from today (actually it's still the day after tomorrow for me, since I've just returned from town at 5 am). And it isn't a Pink Floyd concert, but a concert with Roger Waters, which admittedly has said that he's going to perform a lot of Pink Floyd songs, so I guess it's correct anyway, since Roger Waters is the 'true' mind behind Pink Floyd.

Going to miss David Gilmour's guitar solos and vocals though, but I've heard that Mr. Waters have brought with him some excellent musicians that handles the job quite good.

Either way, I'm truly looking forward to that concert!

Oh dear you're right....I was abit wrong about that....I got the ticket in a gift, adn my friend he told me that Pink Floyd was playing...hehe, it shows he was a bit wrong, but it is good we have you here Olav, always a helping hand
