You know, there's an old internet forum I lurk where one of the rules is to not ever show your true power level. I'd like to follow that, or atleast pretend I do a pretty good job. I don't know if anyone on here will ever be able to bead my politics, and I've seen many try. I sent in an ICE tip...

This was a standout when I saw them live at Hells Heroes this year - their set was the 2nd best show I have EVER seen!

That’s a solid list, I gotta check some of those out. I remember liking Gamma Ray a lot when I was younger, even some of their post-No World Order stuff. Some, well, most European Power Metal sounds a bit too light to my ears now, but Kai always had a good ear for the hooks and adding a good bit...

What would your dream Gamma Ray best-of be @Murder of Rue Morgue ? You seem to like the band a lot and I would like to know what your favorites are.

We gotta go deeper, where’s Stratton!

Nothing too cool had happened since the nationally televised buck breaking of that weird european dude, but hearing Trump actually talk about those white farmers they’ve been killing over there was one of those moments again. Obviously, making liberals upset was goal numero uno with getting out...

Killers might be strangest album from Iron Maiden for me. Not sonically, but its reception and how it's viewed by both Iron Maiden and heavy metal fans in general. From my understanding, this was Iron Maiden's first breakthrough into the American market. Obviously Number of the Beast fully...

Kulick also has the greatest sub 10 second solo on Turn On the Night. Shame there’s not an extended version of that solo out there somewhere.

Admittedly I typed that out during some downtime at work, I didn’t explain my point properly. With musicals and opera, I think the suspension of disbelief it takes to “buy-in” to what you’re seeing is pretty high. Being in the presence of actors on a stage that is front of you and pushing aside...

I think KISS is probably best compared to a good musical. There are musical people that can suspend their disbelief and go on and on about a musical that has this superb lighting, stage setup, musical numbers, great acting, the whole nine, but to someone that’s not into musicals, how are they...

Yes! Great recommendation, Brian Robertson’s (Thin Lizzy) guitar work is great and adds an almost progressive feel to the album. The guitar work is seriously a standout.

Great recommendation. Motörhead’s discography captures me like no other bands discography has captured me. I’m pretty sure at any given time I could name every Motörhead song from every album in order. At an extreme surface level, most of their albums may seem one note, but diving deeper...

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...
