Holy shit I broke the echo chamber ahahah

Im getting everything I voted for and it’s glorious. We’re “silent” because we recognize the entire mod team are 1. Not emotionally or mentally stable due to Trump winning and 2. All liberal or left leaning. There’s not even any need to explain it. The message is clear: Trump brought that little...

There is no pulling yourself up by your bootstraps if you’re born into a poor family nowadays. Maybe one day things will be easier, but things were a lot easier for your generation and the generation before you. You don’t know what it’s like for some people trying to survive right now.

I really do appreciate the insight from an older metalhead, @Eddie's Uncle . Way I've seen it for a number of years now, no band that ever made it big was 100 hundred honest, truly, to themselves and to the music. There was some constraint somewhere along the way that they had to work around or...

I moved from local files to streaming my music a number of years ago. Spotify has been my go to since 2017 but their desktop application is garbage. I mean really cant believe how bad it is and they've essentially never fixed it. Slow, mostly unresponsive, and very limited ways to organize...

Youre right, Davidian is a great song. I think Machine Head is pretty underrated by what I would consider the "real metal crowd", although I don't actively listen to them anymore. They hit a pretty sweet sound that was at the crossroads of thrash, groove and maybe a little hardcore or post hardcore.

Despite watching this thread, new posts never show up in my notifications. Anyways thanks LC for keeping this going, also big ups to jcv for voting for Love Me Like a Reptile, which for a long time was my favorite song of all time. Really is hard to pick an all time favorite song, if you were...

Always loved Winterdreams personally. It was a favorite of mine for a long time, but now Losing More Than You’ve Ever Had is my favorite song from them. Accept were as popular as they were because, on top of bringing razor sharp speed and being extremely heavy for the time, no one could quite...

Seeing them at Hells Heroes this year, I’m very excited!

Not only is this funny, but you know it’s absolutely true too lol

This is just incorrect. Bruce Kulick, Mark St John, Vinnie Vincent and Eric Carr are all EXCEPTIONAL musicians.

Deja Vu definitely won’t be played live, but I have dreamed about seeing that solo live…

Yes, a lot of newer fans start with the classic trilogy too. It’s quite a good trilogy, Wheels of Steel I believe was the best they sounded during that time. Strong Arm and Denim and Leather play like one album to me, they sound very similar. It’s almost shocking how well the “glam” stuff Saxon...

I never thought about a connection to Turbo. Def Leppard were really innovators. They could’ve stuck to a more true British metal sound similar to what Priest and Saxon were doing at the time, but they went straight for the jugular of the American market. They knew what the world wanted to hear...

Awesome! I was really hoping to hear I’m a Rebel live

I relistened to every Saxon album this summer. I was quite surprised by most of their work actually. It's weird, they have particular moments from the mid to late 2000s where they get close to peaking, but they could never pull it together to put out one GREAT album during this span. I think...

Somehow I think I missed this, will check it out!

Welcome! Great to have you and I hope you enjoy talking about metal music here (really you can enjoy talking about anything here). There's a wealth of knowledge on a lot of subjects here. I've gotten some great recommendations for metal and hard rock music to listen to here. I like browsing...

I should listen to it before saying it sucks, but this sucks. I don't know how his live performances have been in the past couple years, but I saw him in 2017. Ok, sorry for the breakup in this sentence but this song really does suck as I am discovering in real time. Anyways, saw him in 2017...

Very good question, the Senjutsu hype has died down a bit, but there was a very fervent and mindless obsession with that album when it first dropped. I got the feeling a lot of Maiden fans were just starved for new material and were ready to call anything a masterpiece. My pick for most...
