For reasons I cannot explain, I've gone on a mad Arena Rock binge today.

Journey featuring most heavily on the rotation. Goddamn, Neal Schon is fúcking unbelievable on guitar and Steve Perry has a voice that would get tears from a stone. Yeah, it's commercial, it's pop-py, it's arena rock in all it's glory... but it's so good. Seriously, what a voice from Steve Perry. Absolutely incredible. You forget sometimes how good a band actually is, but then you sit and listen to them damn near constantly and you remember.

Similar "phases" of "re-discovering" bands I've gone through relatively recently:

-Dokken
-Megadeth
-Queensrÿche
-Bon Jovi
-UFO
-Tesla
-Scorpions
-Extreme
-LA Guns

Ain't metal great, guys?!

Have a listen to H.E.A.T - I reckon you'll like them if you like those other bands Their Address the Nation album is a classic

I've got a soft spot for journey as well, terrific stuff

Just spent a couple of hours down at a skatepark this morning. Up until the other week I hadn't been on a board in about 10 years! Great craic though. Definitely has me buzzing since getting home

4 was definitely the best of the PS2 era, but THPS2 is just the ultimate classic man :P

So, I posted a thread about Japanese metal on reddit's /r/metal and I expected to maybe only get a few replies at best, but what do you know? The whole thing has ****ing exploded, biggest thread on the front page currently, over 200 comments, about 350 upvotes with 97% liking it, and it just keeps on going :eek: http://www.reddit.com/r/Metal/comments/2ajhdv/japanese_metal_theres_some_seriously_good_metal/

Seriously didn't expect that!
But I'm pleased as punch

Finally you have found some people who share your pathological obsession with Japanese Metal. :P

No, boards just needs to try harder!

Links234

Do we have any Doctor Who fans in the house?

Angron

Yup, saw the trailer. What'd you think?

Links234

Looks damn good! I'm excited

Angron

I liked the T-Rex

DazMarz

This man just won Germany the World Cup!





Scorpions, Michael Schenker, Accept, Kreator, Helloween, Rammstein... all delighted tonight!

Morning!

I like that Madame Vastra is back, she was one of the best characters in Who in recent years

Links has found Reddit fame

So Transformers 4 - 2 hours for the "plot" to kinda kick in and this sums it up:

Hope you all had a good weekend.
Gonna give the new Judas Priest a whirl now

Links234

Hey Zwillinge
I think boards infamy trumps reddit fame though

If at any point I find myself tempted to watch a new Transformers movie, I go and watch Pacific Rim instead:

Kinda didn't do much at the weekend myself, you?

Zwillinge

Roll on 2017 for Pacific Rim 2 :D

I went to the Arctic Monkeys on Sat; it was good fun, I've never seen them live before, so was kinda glad to mark them off the bucket list

Then re-watched How to Train Your Dragon in preparation for the sequel

Links234

Awesome

I've not watched many movies at all lately, I picked up The Raid on Bluray for something silly cheap while I was over in London last month, still didn't get around to watching it. All herself wants to watch is Supernatural, which is great and all, but it has me a little burned out

Links234

Morning.

Zwillinge

Morning!

This seems so black, it's brutal

How's Supernatural? I've never seen it myself, last night I was catching up on the return of Under the Dome

Good afternoon. I'm pleased with my second ever Qwertee purchase just now.

You could even say there's none more black?

Supernatural is a lot of fun, it's about two brothers who hunt monsters and listen to classic rock. There's a lot of humour in it too, it often takes the piss out of itself, and there is a lot of classic rock. Like, a lot. In one episode where they're hunting a grim reaper, the Blue Oyster Cult song Don't Fear The Reaper is featured. This is one of the post-credit bits in one episode:

It also doesn't show any sign of stopping, it's up to season 9 with 10 starting later this year. :eek:

Afternoon!

Yeah, Qwertee can become a problem I've got a few shirts from them already

Links234

Morning!

Zwillinge

And Qwertee today is just beautiful!

I got the cheap/surprise bag recently, so am eagerly awaiting, just hope it's not 3 Dr Who tops - I'm not a fan, so if I get them, they're up for grabs

How's it only Wednesday? Hope everyone is well!

Links234

Hah, well here's hoping it's something you like so

A lot of Ghibli ones lately on there, which is pretty cool to see!

Is it just me or is it quiter than usual around here?

A tad quiet alright. You should post a Baby Metal thread to stir up some activity.

Links234

Ah hell no! :eek:

I'll go play some guitar instead

Links234

Ever have one of those days where you sit down to do something, and get interupted by everyone and every thing? :mad: home alone now, so I get a chance to try and learn something
