! The New Heavy Metal Topic !

[Scarface187]

I heard the 101 proof version of Cemetary Gates awhile back. Did not care for it. They cut out the first Solo and went right into the heavy part.

I liked it.

 

 

@Uno - I'm not giving up on it. I'm getting it next time I go which should be this weekend, and I had wanted that Pantera for awhile so I got that out of the way.

[GetawayInStockholm]

Were both lucky enough to be going during the time Anthrax will be on the tour.

I see them first.

 

SOAD's lead singer is what makes SOAD, SOAD. It's like their signature thing. =\

Says a lot about the band, doesnt it?

[GetawayInStockholm]

...Go on

 

[Sharkey]

the lead singer is annoying.

 

i think if osama bin laden had a metal band,

he would sound exactly like soads lead singer/band.

and wtf is up with the lyrics, argh.

 

and i wasnt impressed seeing them live either,

they have no flow and the musicians themselves are barely what youd class as talented.

consistancy anyone?

Only in the minds of some.

 

I don't Bin Laden would consider starting a Metal band, and I REALLY don't think he'd sound like SOAD.

Intrepretive Lyrics apparently. Lots of political stuff.

 

More talented than your ass.

 

I find them to be very consitent with their music.

[-maddog-]

The old SOAD was much better.

 

Does anyone here listen to Mastodon?

 

[ToyMachine]

 

I listen to Mastodon. What about them?

 

[Ølergodt]

Yeah..what about Mastodon?

 

 

Now, don't go "OMG, they're the best band in the past 350 years".

 

'Cause, that's not true. They're good, admitted, but Mastodon is subject to massive hype.

 

Wtih that said, I like Mastodon.

[jelly]

Hey, sure music is the best in the world, but not beer. Not even close.

[-maddog-]

I listen to Mastodon. What about them?

I like them, saw them live when they warmed up for maiden in july!

some of their songs kick ass!! \m/

[ToyMachine]

eh...ok?

 

Anyway news.

A previously unreleased solo by late Pantera and Damageplan guitarist Dimebag Darrell will appear this fall in an unlikely place: on Nickelback's new album, All the Right Reasons. The guitar parts for the flailing, 24-second lead were donated

 

 

by Darrell's brother, drummer Vinnie Paul, and assembled from outtakes from the Pantera albums Vulgar Display of Power and Far Beyond Driven.

 

The song, a tribute to Darrell titled "Side of a Bullet," was written three months after the guitarist was killed while performing onstage with Damageplan in Columbus, Ohio (see "Dimebag Darrell, Four Others Killed In Ohio Concert Shooting"). Kroeger first penned the song's aggressive, metallic riff, then wrote call-and-response lyrics from the perspective of a Pantera fan so enraged over Dimebag's murder that he vows revenge, not realizing the shooter had already been killed by a policeman.

 

Kroeger roars in the song's chorus: "How could you take his life away (What made you think you had the right?)/ How could you be so full of hate (To take away somebody's life?)/ When I heard you let him die and leave the world, I wondered why/ I sat and home and on my own, I cried alone and scratched your name in the side of a bullet."

 

"I was very upset, and for two months, if I saw his picture somewhere I would get angry," Kroeger said of his motivation for writing the song. "I hadn't lost somebody to a shooting before — it wasn't as though he'd been killed in some sort of accident. He was taken in such a horrible, malicious way that just made it more painful."

 

Once Kroeger finished demoing "Side of a Bullet," he called up Paul and played it to him to get his take on the tune. Paul liked what he heard and urged Kroeger to write lyrics about Dime. "I said, 'Well, funny enough, that song is about your brother,' " Kroeger recalled.

 

Paul volunteered to play on the song, so Kroeger overnighted him the tape and encouraged him to record a new drum track over the one played by Nickelback drummer Daniel Adair. "He thought about it for a while," Kroeger said, "then he decided that Daniel had done such an amazing job that we should leave it the way it was. That's when he sent the guitar parts from Vulgar Display of Power and Far Beyond Driven, which we used for the solo."

 

Kroeger was introduced to Dimebag and Paul in 2002 in Dallas by former Alice in Chains guitarist Jerry Cantrell, who was touring as Nickelback's opening act. A few drinks later, the ex-Pantera members admitted to Kroeger that they were big fans. "Vinnie told me he listened to Nickelback every day, which really surprised me," Kroeger said. "But I guess they come from that whole Southern-rock background, and we're a hard-rock band with Southern-rock influences, so they liked it a lot."

 

In 2003, the next time Nickelback played Dallas, Kroeger hooked up with Dime and, during a long night of partying, played him his demo of Elton John's "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting," which Nickelback were covering with Kid Rock for the soundtrack to "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle."

 

"I wrote all these heavy, tuned-down guitar riffs and I asked him if he wanted to play the guitar solo on it, and he was pumped to do it," Kroeger said. Dime ultimately joined him and Kid on the track. "That was the first time I appeared on a record with Dime, and now this. I just wish this wasn't the way it had to happen."

 

 

Now wtf. Dimebag appearing on a Nickleback album?

[Moonshield]

WELL HIS GUITARWORK IS ALONG THE SAME LINES AS KROEGGER'S

 

WAKKA WAKKA WAKKA.

[Fatality.]

Now wtf. Dimebag appearing on a Nickleback album?

What the f*ck? I've never liked Nickleback, and Dimebag's guitar work doesn't fit the alternative rock genre at all. This wouldn't happen if Dimebag was still alive.

I know it wouldn't, he'd continue to make terrible music with Damageplan.

lol.

 

I've never listened to any of music that he made while he was with Damage Plan. He was an awesome guitarist, though.

[Sir Smoke-A-Lot]

I know most of you have probably heard it, but I finally got Impaled's 'Mondo Medicale' album and it f*cking rules. The riffs kick my ass and the solos are great too.

[GetawayInStockholm]

I'm completely obsessed with Megadeth's "The System has Failed".

[Groovy]

I'm completely obsessed with Megadeth's "The System has Failed".

Tis a nice comeback album. The three first songs are my favorites, along with Tears In A Vial and Something I'm Not. The rest of the album is alright, but not as good as those songs.

My favorite song of that album is 'Kick the Chair.'

 

I'm not really a big fan of 'The System Has Failed' though. The lyrics are good, but the instrumentals aren't as great as usual.

Um....you do know there are no instrumentals on The System Has Failed?

 

I know what your trying to say though, but I think the album sounds great. Chris Polonds solo's in Blackmail The Universe are great.

Well, in other news I picked up "Symbolic" from Death and Megadeth's greatest hits, the one with the dvd. I want to go to Gigantour even more now. Along with those two I finally got the Still Reigning dvd from Slayer and of course that one is pretty bad ass as well.
