    Metallica

    He is playing to a click. Went to both Chicago shows and he sounded excellent; it’s not edited. Speaking of not editing, they actually played the post-chorus riff in Battery! I swear they don’t normally do that; I seem to remember them always going straight into the solo after the second chorus.

    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 5, Matches 79-84

    1. Meh. 2. Ugh. 3. Learning to Live. I mean, come on. The keys may sound silly but this is a prog metal classic, and that outro is iconic. Probably the strongest song on an album where every song is very strong. 4. Ooof. 5. Rust in Peace is ten times the album that Kill ‘em All is, and this...

    @JudasMyGuide Good call on skipping Mirage. The game was fine, but quite underwhelming compared to Origins and especially Odyssey. It was a much smaller map with mostly a big city, and the quests and characters didn’t draw me in much. I liked Valhalla, but I don’t think it was as strong as the...

    @JudasMyGuide The remastered Doom + Doom II has both TNT and Plutonia, which I just beat (I greatly preferred the latter). It also has the master levels, No Rest for the Living, Sigil, and a new expansion called Legacy of Rust with new weapons and demons. It also has mod support for all the...

    I’m an Xbox guy (been one since 360) but I have a crisis: I need Silent Hill 2 remake in my life but I don’t have a PS5. I adored the original (really didn’t like SH3 though). Anyone else looking forward to the remake? Got the Doom + Doom II remaster and been having a blast with it. Such...

    1. LOL Dream Theater 2. Not Linkin Park, by default 3. Don’t like Motörhead but this is their best song 4. Don’t care, went with underdog 5. Fates duh (nothing against the Stein though) 6. Don’t care, went with underdog

    I love the bass playing there. It takes what would otherwise be a wall of sound and adds a lot of color to it.

    While I still think that nothing in the sequel touches the polyrhythmic part at the end of the original, I do think it is a better composed song overall. It takes everything from the original and adds a darker layer to it, almost as if the song takes place fully at night. Romeo’s solo may also...

    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 5, Matches 79-84

    1. Sabbath because it’s not leftist rap metal. 2. Both are the most overplayed songs by each band, but I gotta give the edge to Schism. 3. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL 4. Dream Theater. I just don’t get this obsession with Death that everyone seems to have. 5. Scorpions. I dislike 97% of SOAD’s stuff. 6. Meh.

    I like Memory but I’m glad we got Until it Sleeps instead.

    Yeah but I’d rather have heard Battery over either!

    It really does. I love the bass lines in the middle over Lars’s insanely loud hi-hat. Easily my fav from that album and I’m glad we got to see it! Yeah… they can keep that one.

    Opeth

    After a few listens the song hit me, and now I quite like it. The mix isn’t great (the bass is once again overpowering, which is an odd statement coming from a bassist), but those growls hit like a semi and the chorus is catchy as hell. @JudasMyGuide I don’t love some of the clean vocal parts...

    @JudasMyGuide I’ll check out Swallow the Sun! As for misheard lyrics, I’m still a huge fan of the classics like “deadly badgers” and “fresh made tacos of the earth, diabolical beans.” There’s something to me about Mikael’s growls that no one else can capture; a Tyrannosaurical depth that I’ve...

    I used to be like you, not being able to get into Opeth because of this faeces-spewing you describe. Face of Melinda was the only song I liked. Then one bitter autumn day as the smell of burning wooden effigies filled the air, they just clicked. Now I’m a proud Opethophile, and there’s no going...

    Then Opeth should be your jam since you rarely get them for the majority of a song!

    One of the strongest rounds so far, regardless of the lack of Symphony X or Opeth!

    She really did herself no favors putting that story in her book, even if most farmers would have done the same. I think it’s gonna be brutal. I’m already picturing her laughing awkwardly every time she doesn’t know what to say.

    I’m choosing to take this as a compliment rather than an insult.
