    Anyone here a BFMV (or former) fan? Just listening to The Poison and can't understand how they went from that to what they're currently putting out. Massive difference.

    (Note: May be biased as The Poison is the first "Heavy" album I listened to!)
    I go through BFMV phases alright. Not the newest album though. I like one or two songs but as a whole they have changed tack completely imo.

    Happy Weekend guys :)

    Drunken Zwill decided, in a drunken haze, last night to solve her Download Festival problem of Rammstein/Limp Bizkit clashing. She booked flights, hotel and tickets to Limp Bizkit in Milan... Silly girl that drunken Zwill :)

    I can only hope I get that drunk some day :pac: I hadn't intended going out last night, wound up kipping at a friends house on a bean bag, nursing a bottle of Southern Comfort.

    You're in training to get that drunken ;)

    Are bean bags comfy to kip on??
    They always look so awkward! But I want one for gaming :D:o

    Not sure about for sleeping on, but the larger ones are more than suitable for gaming - coming from experience!!

    The bean bag thing I slept on was called a fatboy, it's grand for a nights sleep, but you wouldn't do it regularly :P

    I seen the new Star Trek on Friday - will definately be going to see it again, I'm sure there's lots I missed in it. Plenty of winks and nudges and a nice set up for a third film :D

    My birthday is approaching soon, so was thinking a nice big soft, squishy bean bag for reading/gaming/snoozing within would be nice :o:)

    I'm not sure I would say James LaBrie's solo stuff surpasses DT's recent output but it's a little more 'conventional' without adhering to any major Prog Metal tropes.

    I thought DT's later output was so by the numbers, I didn't even bother with the newest album after Black Clouds, and I think they've just been going through the motions since Octavarium, so LaBrie's solo stuff just shocked me with how good it was. It might be conventional, but it's just solid and fresh compared to DT

    Is it me or is there a distinctive Gothenburg sound in his music? Particularly Soilwork et al.

    yup, I found that too. possibly the influence of Peter Wildoer?

    Possibly, but it's the guitar tone that has a very In Flames-esque feel to it. Peter Wildoer was the drummer on Static Impulse which I assume has something to do with his audition for Dream Theater. Interestingly Mike Mangini was the drummer on Elements of Persuasion. :cool:

    hey hey hey ;)

    how's everyone? I think I might be coming down with something :( girlfriend's sick with some virus or something, now I'm feeling it too.

    Passenger, maybe it's the production or mixing? 'cos I know it's the same guitarist from his first album, but they've Jens Bogren doing the mixing, so that could be it?

    Hey Links, hope you feel better asap. :)

    Yeah it's possible alright. He seems to Produce/Mix quite a few decent Metal albums too.

    Hey Max,

    Yeah it's gotten a little more traffic recently alright. Maybe myself and Links kick-stared something. :pac: A lot of the old posters such as yourself don't post much anymore, but come back and get some discussion going again. ;)

    I don't want to take all the credit, but I will. I gave the place a well needed shot in the arm :D

    :p

    between myself, Passenger and Angron, we've sparked this thread quite a bit. I had started posting about all the awesome Japanese bands I listen to, and well, just waffling on about stuff in general. this place has so much untapped potention, and it's way nicer than 95% of metal forums out there so it's very pleasant just to chat on
