Number of the Breast

I saw them one time 4 years ago, supporting Adema and Soil. Met them too. Nice blokes. Much better than Adema, but Soil owned all that night.

1. Iron Maiden

2. Judas Priest

3. Dream Theater

4. Foo Fighters

5. Shadows Fall

6. Iced Earth

7. Audioslave

8. Alice Cooper

9. Metallica

10. Fear Factory

As some of you may know, I'm going to Germany for a week tomorrow. I know, how will you cope for a week without me? The main reason I'm going is for the Wacken Open Air Metal Festival. I guess this is really a thread to brag and make people jealous, but let's disguise it as a discussion for such things.

http://www.wacken.com

I'm most looking forward to seeing Whitesnake, Motorhead, Bodom, Fear Factory, Gamma Ray and Opeth for the first times, and the Scorpions, MSG and Soulfly for the second times. Just a tad pissed off that the running order slightly changed and now Opeth and Soilwork are on at the same time. So anyway, thoughts.

Not technically today, but the other night:

Festival - 7/10

I'd heard good things, and was slightly disappointed that it wasn't as funny as I'd been expecting, but it was good in a different way. Still had some right laugh-out-loud moments though. Richard Ayoade could have been used SO much more. But still, Chris O'Dowd and Stephen Mangan, so how can it not be funny?

OK this one was tonight:

Garden State - 8/10

Again, I'd heard good things, and I wasn't disappointed. I didn't really know what to expect going into it, but it sure as hell kept me interested the whole way through. Some people say it's changed their lives. I say, it was good, and those people had some sad sad lives before this film.

Dammit ROC, now I want a Staley biopic too.

Shit, forgot November Rain. Meh, ten's too restricting anyway.

Not in any real order here.

Weezer - Keep Fishin'

Weezer - We Are All On Drugs

Tool - Schism

Tool - Parabola

Queens of the Stone Age - Go With The Flow

The Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up

Creed - With Arms Wide Open

Foo Fighters - Everlong

Michael Jackson - Thriller

Metallica - Until It Sleeps

Honourable mentions

Daler Mendhi - Tunak Tunak Tan

Jimmy Jacobs - Ballad of Lacey

I wouldn't exactly call that a Cobain biopic, the character's based on him (and looks incredibly like him) and the story's (allegedly) similar, but it's not official.

Hendrix for sure, would be really trippy, and it'd be interesting to see the portrayal of his rise and fall. A Bon Scott biopic could have potential too.

While it's never going to happen (mainly because of the negative way Courtney Love would likely be portrayed in it) a Kurt Cobain movie would probably be good. I'm saying that and I'm not even a Nirvana fan.

Ah, leakage. Yes, I'm... not a fan of that at all.

I'd like to third the love for "Come What(ever) May", as much as I liked the first Stone Sour album, this one's even better. "Through Glass" is probably my favourite song at the moment.

I've also just found a love for Shinedown's "Us and Them" album. I'd only heard "I Dare You" before yesterday, but damn, that is one hell of an album.

Oh, and Breed 77 have a new album? Why wasn't I informed?

I saw this the other night at the break of South Park, and I gotta say... :lmao: No idea why it was so funny, but I was laughing for about 10 minutes. You've all got to lighten up and stop being such homophobes

Hmm, looks a little pricy. I mean, Gamma Ray and Dream Evil, sure, great, but other than that I've not heard of anyone. Hopefully the rumours on the forum are true and Sonata Arctica and Blaze get the two TBC slots, because then I would be there. Perth's not too far away, would be worth it if the rumours were true.

I laugh quite frequently at things Roger says, so apparently yes, he has sad anything funny. Opinions, eh? And come on, Roger =/= Brian, so why bother comparing them? Because they both talk and they shouldn't?

Can I just stop you all right here. This is a thread about buying the DVDs in the UK. We don't have "volumes", it is Season 1 (14 episodes), Season 2 (15 episodes), Season 3 (21 episodes) and Season 4 (13 episodes).

Plus American Dad's better.

That would be quite incredible, being able to buy things for however many dollars in the UK.

That's very true actually, do that.

Season 2 for sure. Avoid Season 4 like the plague, it's got like two funny episodes, the rest vary from mediocre to shit.

Please, the best concept album's clearly Iron Maiden's "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son". OK so maybe I'm a little bit biased, but so what?

Oh come on, Never Ending Story III? That was great! Jack Black was in it, how can it be bad? Plus, Mortal Kombat II was so bad it was OK. I can't remember whether I thought the first one was the better one, or the second though...

I'm in.

Also a fan of 36 Crazyfists, Trustcompany and We Are Scientists.

And Journey

Good Dream Theater songs? Well, there's hardly a bad one, but here are my personal favourites (apart from As I Am):

In The Name of God

Under A Glass Moon

The Root of All Evil

Endless Sacrifice

Trial of Tears

Scarred

Count me as a fan for Dragonforce, Opeth, Dream Theater and Sonata Arctica. Incubus to an extent as well.
