not really bruised up passenger (as I went to type that, my fingers seemed to spell your name passgenger )

Ah that's good anyway. Bruising after the needle sometimes happens.

When you post in some forums, the post count doesn't change. Is that intentional, Links?

Yeah, but even then I've had worse... got one of my monthly implant syringes that went through a nerve once, it hurt like hell and it was like a burning sensation. I don't wish those injections on anyone at the best of times, but hitting the nerve was insane :eek: nerve pain sucks

as far as I know, posts in places like Personal Issues don't add to your post count, there's a few others. I don't know why though

Yowza! :eek: Too much information there, Links.

Aye, it was the Puzzles & Quizzes forum. Maybe forums like that are a haven for people just trying to up their post count. Like the Song Title Game thread.

Links234

hehe I've not given you anywhere neat too much info yet

but yeah, that makes sense about the puzzles and quizzes forum

Ah yes, that's the one I can access. I take it there is also a separate private forum that you moderate :-)

That's cool, if I have any questions I'll pm you or create a thread in the forum I'm able to access.

Also, WOO HOO!

I'm gonna have this framed:

Nice one, Links.

Bottom left?

Didn't I say?!

I think they are technically proficient musicians and they have a very theatrical onstage presence with the costumes but I think I preferred the studio versions of the songs. Or maybe that's just the second album? Is the whole androgynous look a part of their schtick or are they like that off stage too?

While I appreciate them as talented musicians and love neo-classical/power metal, Galneryus are probably the best from Japan that I've heard.

You probably already know them or do you? Here's some vids.

My bad didn't think you had actually listened to them then for some reason

Passenger wrote: »

I do, but you know I lost track of them since they got the new singer. I didn't think he was as good as the other guy, but I must listen to some of their later stuff.

Did you know Leda of Deluhi/Undivide used to play bass with them? it's how I got into Deluhi in the first place that's him in this video:

I listened to every video when you posted them. Apologies if my review wasn't particularly comprehensive. :pac:

I only know Deluhi from what you post in the Now Listening To... thread. Must gives some of their albums a proper gander. Do you recommend anything in particular?

And that video for New Legend is proper Power Metal.

Links234

no problem

Deluhi are a bit odd as they've had a huge amount of singles, an EP, but only one album Yggdalive, and an album where they updated a load of songs which is sort of a best of I guess called Vandalism.

I'd just go for Vandalism if you wanted an introduction, it's absolutely fantastic.

Leda's new project Undivide is pretty cool too:

Links234

also I really wanna get Leda's guitar DVD

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4UB8pSAFMk

and also his guitar :pac:

Passenger

Nice one, Links. Basically start anywhere with their discography then?! The Frontier video is a pretty rockin' performance. Though the Bass player has this contrived look of nonchalance throughout the video. How hard is it to play the instrument properly?! :cool: Not convinced with Undivide however.

Can you speak or understand Japanese?

Links234

yeah I much prefer Deluhi, Undivide is great but much more mechanical and technical sounding a lot of the time. compare it to the melody in this track:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjYGRBjgzXs

I can't speak half enough Japanese as I probably should at this point

Nice one Links, I must give Versaille a listen some time. I know what it's like to get excited about a poster, I had this framed recently:



Between that and my choice of avatar, I realise I've become a full-blown Rockstar Games fanboy :eek:.

Passenger

Nice one, Xerces. What did you think of the box art?

Links234

my girlfriend has an Amon Amarth poster she wants framed, I might get a frame for her if it fits mine

I like it, it's consistent with previous GTA releases. Trevor's ugly mug to the right of the GTAV logo spoils it a little though I think! It's interesting Franklin's dog 'Chop' is on the cover, I reckon he'll be some sort of controllable sidekick.

My favourite is the San Andreas box art.

glorious morning for once!

Saw Rammstein in Barcelona last Sunday night and as usual, they were superb.

Would it comfort you at all to know that I thought of you when they played Links?
