  1. When Mufasa dies in the Lion King
  2. EDIT: I'm having some layout problems, so this might not look very good. Here's me becoming a NZ Metal shill: (These first bands, aren't unsigned, and the first two you should be able to track down in US/UK cd stores if you look very hard. These are a few of the bigger Metal bands in NZ, but the metal scene is rather underground here, and most won't be known well to NZers, let alone to you international guys). (Myspace http://www.myspace.com/humanmetal) - The 13 year veterans of the Christchurch Metal Scene. These guys are awesome live, and just love to have fun with their music. They are very proud of their unique sound, and have quite a bit of humor in their songs. Song's like "Night of the living bread", decomposing rectum muscle, & Paytoilet of Despair Dawn of Azazel( Http://Dawnofazazel.com ) (Myspace: http://myspace.com/Dawnofazazel ) - New Zealand's most extreme metal band. These guys just kick so much ass. And it is definatly the most violent pit I have been in. Unfortunatly this band's biggest claim to fame was some news coverage on the vocalist Rigel being a constable in the NZ police, as well as being in an extreme metal band. If you like it extreme, listen to these guys. ---------------And Just for you guys to enjoy (humor): Beltane (Myspace Link) - I don't actually suggest this band, but it can be funny to listen to there music and have a look around their site. Very weak black metal, from the streets of Nelson, New Zealand. Just listen to some songs......lol.
  3. Well I'll list you the one album I have of theres I have, which is good....lol. In The Dark, in my opinion is a great album. I'm also interested in which albums people suggest. Archive.org has hundreds of downloadable Grateful Dead Concerts too, some of them are class.
  4. Heard about this on Digg. It could be great, or it could be absolute drizzling shit. Apparently though the engine its being built on (middleverse????) isn't the best engine in the world, and the graphics are very likely to look shitty. But I really dont know anything about that.
  5. Australian..you'll have to do. Australasia FTW!

  6. Lets give this a go, I'll probably end up forgetting a whole lot though: Meat Loaf's Bat Out Of Hell I remember quite vividly as a kid making fun of my brother for listening to Meat Loaf, and other fuddy duddy old person music (most of which I myself love now). But the first time I really sat down and listened to this song, I was absolutely blown away. From the epic song-writing, to the man emotionally screaming the lyrics out, to the guitar solo work I absolutely feel in love. Meat Loaf instantly became my favourite artist and I hate to hunt out everything I could. When I learn't about Jim Steinman writing that song, I became an instant Jim Steinman mark too. This song introduced to the greatness that is Meat Loaf, and the greatness that is Jim Steinman. 8 Foot Sativa's 8 Foot Sativa Jumping from a song from 1977, to a song from 2002. This was the first song I heard from 8 Foot Sativa, and was the first song to make me jump from a nu-metal fan, to a full blown proper metal fan. This song, which is in essence 8 Foot Sativa's "mission statement" mixed amazing and aggressive guitar work, my first real death metal voice, and a suprisingly poppy chorus, which was the first thing that dragged me in. This song got me into non nu-metal metal, and in turn got me into seeing metal bands live (including this band, which I'm seeing live for the 4th time on New Years Eve), and for that I will always be grateful. The Beach Boys' Cotton Fields Well I really could have picked any Beach boys song to be in this list, as they have all played a major part in my life, but I picked this one because this is the song my mother would always play on the piano (like nightly). The Beach Boy's greatest hits tape was always the first album that was put on when my family went on holiday, and I can vividly remember the seven of us (me, my four brothers and sisters, and my mum and dad) just all picking different parts of the song and doing all the harmonics. No one in my family can say that this song doesn't mean something major to them. The Bee Gees' Lonely Days This was my friends and I's party song. Now this might seem weird to all you guys, but partys as a teenager involved us getting really drunk and seeing Beegees songs. And Lonely Days, with the falsetto is the one we knocked out the most. The night after we heard about Maurice dieing with throw him a major rememberance 'party' which involved us drinking for about 12 hours, well singing along to Bee Gee's all that time. Metallica's Nothing Else Matters This is a very cliched choice, but It really means that much to me. This was my first girlfriend's and mine 'song'. And I don't think it needs anymore explanation than that. It is also the song that my brother's wife walked up the aisle too. Seether's Truth (One Cold Night) Version After my girlfriend broke up with me earlier this year, and in a spate of un-manly sulking I ended up playing the accoustic version of this song for about an hour and a half on repeat. For some reason this song helped me through my pain, and just helped me feel good again (I really dont know how, listening to the song now . I guess misery loves company). If you don't have the One Cold Night album, BUY IT NOW. It is honestly amazing, the best Seether album yet. Seether is highly underrated. System of A Down's Spiders This is the song that really got me off the pop, and started me liking the harder stuff. I'm still amazed how Serj in the first two albums makes his anger, and his emotion, so hard yet so melodic. For years System of A Down was always being blasted out of my stereo. And it wasn't because I neccesarily agreed with their politics. I just loved there sound. Michael Franti's/Spearhead's Rock The Nation I have never really been a big fan of hiphop, but the laxed mix of rock and hiphop had me rocking this up loud. I first saw this song on "Channel V", the australian music channel we used to get here on Telstra Cable. I even made a call to their request show from a different country to get this song on the show. I used to just watch the channel, because this song would end up on it at some point. From there I started buying Spearhead albums, and never have looked back. Spearhead political music, with a very positive attitude. VERY GUILTY PLEASURE: (probably won't mean much to you unless your Australian or New Zealand) Nikki Webster's Strawberry Kisses In my younger years I absolutely loved this song, (and the album it came from). I think it fell down the fact that Nikki Webster is a year younger than me and I had the biggest crush on her....lol. On a trip over to Australia I bought the album this was from "Follow Your Heart" for $32AUD. I recently bought the same album from the discount bin at our local warehouse for my niece, for $2NZD. Great! My Top Six Tracks Now: Hammerfall's Shadow Empire Black Dahlia Murder's The Darkest Incarnation Meat Loaf's Sieze the Night The Dubliners' Whiskey In A Jar Ritual Carnage's The Highest Law Slayer's Spill The Blood
  7. Star Trek TNG making the list is awesome. By far the best Star Trek tv show. Best Captain, Second best First Officer.
  8. My friends and I were always going to create a metal band and call ourselves "Blasphemy with a Pig". However the fact that none of us could play instruments, or had any musical talent always stopped us.

  11. Definatly 8 Foot Sativa's Poison Of Ages, which was originally meant to be released on May 8th of this year, but looks to be released in February of the 07. From the demo I've heard it sounds like its going to be by far 8 Foots best album, I just hope that the feb release date isn't going to be knocked back again.
  12. They still do the real world? I remember watching that show when I started high-school. Maybe I'm just in the dark because MTV isn't in my cable package.
  13. I wasn't aware that there was a new Korn album coming out. Any set release date? As for me, all I know of is Metallica and Flaw so that's all I can list right now.
  14. Well recently I attacked my dad's CD's and ripped them onto the computer. Some great, great music there but a couple of bands really hit me for a 6, and just can't get enough of it. Those bands are of course: The Pogues The Dubliners Listening to them they have such a great irish folk sound, and seeing as I descend there, you would have thought I had heard it before, but alas the only song I knew from either band, was "Fairytale of New York", by the pogues. And thats only because everyone knows that song. Just wondering if anyone could reccomend any other band like these two, or albums I should get from either band. Just to clear up what albums I already have, so you don't suggest one I've got: The Dubliners - Drinking & Courting (Seven Drunken Nights) The Dubliners - The Best of the Dubliners The Pogues - The Best of the Pogues The Pogues - Dirty Old Town: The Platinum Collection And as a side, the version of "Whiskey in a Jar" on the dubliner's Drinking & Courting, owns all kinds of ass. So recommend, and discuss peoples.
  15. Skummy, I like you, but this is plain retarded. Explain to me again how it's fair for American universities to put quotas on the amount of caucasian or Asian students they're allowed to let in, or for them to have a minimum number of black students. Explain how it's fair that for the purposes of letting them into colleges, Asian students start with a thirty-point handicap on their SAT scores while black students start with a bonus of almost 200 points. Explain how it's fair that a mediocre black student can take the spot of a much brighter Asian or caucasian student simply based on their skin colour. The only people keeping America "segregated" are the affirmative action groups that are doing nothing but creating more prejudice against black people.
  16. Fat people don't have to be fat though. Being fat is something you (generally) do to yourself, you can't help being black. Richards is completely in the wrong for this, there's no excuse to do it like that and if you watch the video, you can see he realizes it mid-way through the rant. He tries to back pedal and relate it to the act, but he falls completely on his face and that's why he storms off stage. He could have easily done it in a way to not seem insane.
  17. PULP FICTION! Completely forgot about that. Two of the three top movies are Quentin Tarintino's. Says something about the director
  18. I'm glad an Agatha Christie book made the list. I'm still hoping one of Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot books makes the list. Probably "Murder on The Orient Express". (Which in my opinion isn't the best of the lot, but by far the most well known)
  19. Jah Bless Dracula making the list. It's a book thats so great, and so bad at the same time.
