pretty good, had a busy week re-arranging the house getting loads of tidying done, and on the whole it's more liveable already. still loads to be done, but we got off to a huge start.

Zwillinge

Morning Peoples!

Had a funtastic weekend!

Went to see HIM in London, in Camden (hush!) the 14 year old in me got a bit too excited :pac::pac:

Partied Friday night in a pretty awesome metal/rock nightclub in London and then went to see Rock of Ages on Saturday afternoon

How is everyone? Hope the week flies in - Lordi to be seen, anyone going?? Or to Enter Shikari?

Links234

hey Zwillinge

oooh, HIM! Now there's a band I've not heard in a long time.

we got our Devin Townsend tickets also, yay!

Hey Hey

They just make ya wanna hug someone!

Niiice, as is tradition with me, once you get tickets delivered, you must listen to an album by the artist

Haha - they are awful, I just know they're playing :pac: Though I've a strange attraction to the lead fella - I have woeful taste though

That in the Pint??

Angron

Yup, it is indeed. Gonna be the second time I've seen CD, I'm not that into Cryptopsy though, so CD are my main reason to go.

Passenger

This week is all about the lead up to Devy on Saturday. :pac:

Angron

Not for me it isn't! I'd take Cattle Decapitation over Townsend any day of the week.

Links234

I don't think I'll be at the Cryptopsy gig after all, but revving up for Devy

Fair enough man. Different strokes 'n all.

You're right to give it a miss too. You'll want your ears in pristine shape for the sonic assault that is Devy.

Links234

so, I got Jeff Loomis's dvd in the post today, hopefully I can find the time to get use out of it but it looks pretty awesome so far

you guys who are going to Devy, are you going to grab a pint beforehand somewhere?

blastman

Saxon on Wednesday, looking forward to it. Sabbath tickets arrived in the post on Friday, too.

As it was payday on Friday also, I ordered the Volbeat live CD and the Mad Season CD from WowHD. Both 3 disc (2CD + 1DVD) sets, worked out at around €25 for the pair, bargain!

Big spender. :P Every other day you have something cool arriving in the post.

I'll be going straight to the gig and having the bevvies with Devy. See, that rhymes. :pac:

Angron

Next thing I'm getting that'll (hopefully) be arriving this week is one of these babies: http://demandware.edgesuite.net/aaiw_prd/on/demandware.static/Sites-wwe-Site/Sites-main/default/v1367253716773/images/prod_detail/44090.jpg

So you're gonna wear it to bed or to scare the elderly neighbours or what? :pac:

Angron

Little of column A, little of column B.

Passenger

Makes sense.

I knew a guy who wore a mexican wrestling mask to gigs all the time

Five minutes with Meshuggah's lighting tech.

1 x Bronze effect metal butt plug with moulded Grucifix logo base
1 x Sculpted black silicone Papa Emeritus II dildo

Measurements:

Logo Charm: L8cm W4cm
Butt Plug: L7cm W3cm
Dildo: L19cm W4cm

Ruudi_Mentari

Cool butt plug. one for the mantle piece for sure, put it beside your bandai figures

and a dido too, wtf will the fans appreciate all that?!! Considering it doesn't even contain the album itself.... I understand bands have to resort to box sets, featuring goodies now just to shift a few albums atypically but that is waaaay beyond my comprehension

actually, having checked them out I can understand where they're cumming from butt the plug is still unforgivable.

Passenger

Some new sounds released on Devin Townsend's YouTube account. Including material from Ziltoid 2 and other assorted 'ideas'.

How is everybody?

It gets quiet in here when Links isn't posting.

Angron

How's it going Passenger?

Passenger

Good, Angron... Or is it still Denny??

Angron

Either works :P I only keep the Denny part in the sig so people know who it is, I'll take it out eventually :pac:

Passenger

I'll go with Angron then, seeing as it's your new title. Do you have an explanation why the R&M forum is so quiet?

Angron

Feels like a few of the posters that were here when I started using it are gone (like Karl and chin_grin) are gone, or rarely seem to be around (like Max_Power and Malice). There's also that Classic Rock forum, though I dunno did we really lose too many from that.

Passenger

True. Which begs the question; where and why did they all go?

Angron

Who knows, maybe they just got a bit tired of boards or something.

Passenger

A bunch of 11-16 year old's play Dream Theater's Pull Me Under.

Nailz

Found this amusing...



It is with great sadness that I must say I got all of them without thinking about it.

Passenger

Ahhh, what's 1 & 5, Nailz?

1 is Hemophiliac, a John Zorn band, interesting stuff.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrOXo1Cq-60

5 is Lovage, a group with Kid Koala, Jennifer Charles and Dan The Automator, the latter being the main dude behind the group. He done some of the Peeping Tom and Crudo stuff with Patton, and produces a shitload of records for other bands too. Sort of a Downtempo feel to it.

Thanks Nailz. Hadn't heard Hemophiliac before and I quite like John Zorn's stuff. I actually know Lovage. Their sound is more in keeping with his other projects, particularly Peeping Tom.

too tired...

will try again tomorrow

Anybody else think the instrumental version of Guns N' Roses Estranged is better than the version with Axl's vocals??

Passenger

It's kinda hard to listen to the instrumental without singing Axl's parts in your head though.

I've listened to the instrumental version & the version with Axl's vocals.... Instrumental shades it by a hair for me

Angron

I refuse to listen to GnR, so I have no real opinion on the matter :pac:

Links234

morning folks

Angron

Sup Links?

edit: just saw your AH thread. What a shower of bastards.

Links234

yup, but what can you do

Links234

Angron

Sadly, not much unless you can somehow find out who did it. It baffles me how people can behave the way they do sometimes.

Links234

doubt I could do anything even if I did find out who did it

Angron

I'd say I'm not vindictive, but that would be an utter lie. I can hold a grudge for a long time, and will eventually get my own back.
