Bloodbath

Opeth's "Damnation" album is a great album to fall asleep to.

The The has gotta be up there with some of the worst. A as well.

1. Mercenary 2. Taproot 3. Dark Tranquillity 4. Pantera 5. Lamb of God 6. Nevermore 7. Mendeed 8. Arch Enemy 9. Mudvayne 10. Black Label Society

The Eastpak Antidote Tour on Saturday in Glasgow. Mainly going for Dark Tranquillity but I wouldn't mind sticking around to see Soilwork. Don't care for the other 2 bands.

Surprised at the lack of Father Ted... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=rsISf1HW_nU

Mercenary - Lost Reality Taproot - So Eager Dark Tranquillity - Misery's Crown Angra - Waiting Silence Hearse - Avalon

It's been almost a year now, and I still can't stop listening to Mercenary's 'The Hours That Remain' album. It's tragic that these guys don't get much recognition outside of Scandinavia. They're definitely one of, if not, the best bands to come out of that place.

Losing My Religion - Graveworm [REM] Incarnated Solvent Abuse - Arch Enemy [Carcass] Aces High - Arch Enemy [iron Maiden] Zombie - Mendeed [The Cranberries] Turn The Page - Metallica [bob Seger] I Want Out - Sonata Arctica [Helloween]

Edguy - Superheroes

If you can, try and get a hold of Taproot's "Blue Sky Research" album. Quite heavy at parts and lots of melodic bits, but mostly just straight up rock...well worth checking out. If you're looking for something a bit heavier, anything by Black Label Society would be a start (their latest material seems to be a lot more bland/radio friendly...it's still decent, just nothing on their older stuff).

Far too many gigs that I'm not gonna be able to afford probably (bolding the gigs/bands I'm desperate to go to/see)... The Misfits The Eastpak Antidote Tour (Soilwork, Dark Tranquillity, Caliban, Sonic Syndicate) Dream Theater/Symphony X The Get Happy Tour (Bowling For Soup, Bloodhound Gang, Zebrahead and some other band I don't care about) Kataklysm/Aborted (Same night as Capdown's last ever gig in Glasgow...oh well, Kataklysm win every time) Sanctity (Not a big fan, but it's £7 a ticket) Heaven & Hell/Lamb of God/Iced Earth Alice Cooper/Motorhead (Same night as Meshuggah) The Black Crusade (Machine Head, Trivium, Arch Enemy, Dragonforce, Shadows Fall) I'm probably only gonna be able to afford about 3 of them...I'll definitely be going to see Dark Tranquillity, Kataklysm and Heaven and Hell unless they sell out before I can afford them. Would like to see Arch Enemy to hear some of the new stuff live (Missed them at Bloodstock due to leaving early). Everything else is just a matter of how much money I have at the time.

Anything by Andrew WK Korpiklaani - Happy Little Boozer

Pantera - Drag The Waters That's all I can really think of right now...

Death By Stereo - Forever And A Day Mercenary - Lost Reality Black Label Society - The Last Goodbye Armageddon - Well of Sadness Zakk Wylde - Too Numb To Cry Masterplan - After This War (cheesy but still pretty sad) Mudvayne - World So Cold Taproot - Birthday (Mostly just the chorus)

Don't like their music to be honest, but Benji is one of the coolest guys you could ever meet. I might give their next album a listen but I don't expect my opinion to change.

Just bought the new Man Must Die album today, brutality at its best! Can't wait to see them live again...this time it'll be with Kataklysm though Should be awesome!

Can't go wrong with Taproot's album Blue-Sky Research...dunno if it's epic exactly, but it's pretty awesome.

Top 3? 1. Mercenary 2. Lamb of God 3. Black Label Society

Quite a few gigs I wanna go to in the next few months...(bolded the ones I'm desperate to see or already got a ticket for) Steve Vai Bloodstock Open Air The Black Dahlia Murder The Misfits Eastpack Antidote Tour (Chimaira, Soilwork, Sonic Syndicate and Caliban) Dream Theater/Symphony X Get Happy Tour (Bowling For Soup, Bloodhound Gang, Zebrahead and Army of Freshman) Aborted/Kataklysm Heaven and Hell Alice Cooper/Motorhead (Same night as Dillinger Escape Plan/Meshuggah) The Black Crusade Tour (Machine Head, Trivium, Dragonforce, Arch Enemy and Shadows Fall)

Tom Green's "Prepare For Impact" album could sort you for the rap and comedy. Any Whitesnake or Boston for the 80's Glam...or perhaps even Edguy (not 80's, but just as cheesy as any 80's band).

Megadeth Nirvana Guns N' Roses Neither Dropkick Murphys The Clash Neither Neither Jimi Hendrix Slipknot Rage Against The Machine Oasis The Ramones Reel Big Fish Puddle of Mudd Neither Anthrax Rise Against Never heard both Sum 41 Lostprophets Papa Roach Neither Neither Creed Drowning Pool Neither Neither Foo Fighters The Verve Avril Lavigne (not for the music)

Megadeth | Alice in Chains Killswitch Engage | The Misfits | Hellyeah Death By Stereo | Gamma Ray | Nightrage Masterplan | Breed 77 Motorhead | Machine Head Arch Enemy | Edguy | Mercenary Norther | Behemoth | Mendeed Impaled | Korpiklaani Iron Maiden | Manowar Lamb of God | Black Label Society | Buckethead Sick of it All | Kataklysm | Taproot Vital Remains | Man Must Die

I seen this in Woolworths yesterday. Would have bought it if I wasn't skint as fuck. One of my mates will probably buy it soon enough...I'll just get a loan of it.

A shitload of my mates are heading to this. I'm saving money for Bloodstock but hope you all enjoy. Make sure you all catch Suicidal Tendencies...just cause
