Yeah, I'm a guitar player. And yes, MegaDave is what it is. Doesn't take away from how great he is as a player and how successful he's been by himself. Fuck, they are STILL shitting out records every 2-3 years and all of them have good songs on them.
As far as Metallica goes, I am a huge fan boy. I'm not going to get into why, I just identify with their sound and approach.
Not really a big time Metalcore guy. The growling thing never got my interest, and I don't like break downs all that much. Lamb of God and God Forbid are really fucking cool, but the rest isn't all that great IMO.

Guitar player myself as well. Metalcore has a broad range, most of it is shit ^^

Yeah I agree. Honestly, metal has become very confined these days. It seems like unless you're a legendary act, or a band with universal appeal (Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed), you won't get much attention from any non musician types.

and no love for power metal?

Falsetto vocals? The fuck is this?

Well a general tendency over here is to listen to metal music which is not commercial (going to a friends house, there is a big chance I don't know 80% of the bands he listens to). I am a big fan of Disturbed, but I don't know anyone listening to A7X and the like. I like some American Bands (As I Lay Dying, August Burns Red, Disturbed...) or Canadian (The Agonist) but most of the bands people listen over here are from Scandinavia, Germany, Italy etc.

It's not only Metal either, there is a big scene dark scene, industrial, goa etc. ^^

Fair enough, here in the states the underground is more on a local basis. Maybe it's because the population is so spread out, so there isn't nearly the kind of network that there is in Europe.

In my opinion, Suicidal Tendencies are a very underrated band. Sure, they have that one song that everybody knows, but a lot of their other stuff is good too. Since the 1990s they've been pretty hit or miss for me, but I still love them. Here are my favorite songs that aren't Institutionalized:

If you heard the intro and didn't nearly piss yourself, you're not a real gamer.

Dont know if anyone here likes blink but heres one of my favorites off their latest record.

I don't like Blink-182 because I am not a 13-year old living in the year 1999.

I don't like Blink 182 because I'm not all that into punk rock, or whatever they are supposed to be.

Digging some groove metal

Huey Lewis and the News. I haven't listened to their work in years!

in the comments:

"For people who are wondering what this series is called, its called Call of Halo: Future Warfare 5 and its an RPG game based off of George Lopez."

If you're looking for a really tremendous live show with incredible production, look no further than Operation: Livecrime, a live playthrough by Queensrÿche of their excellent 1988 album, Operation: Mindcrime, a concept album about conspiracies. I can't really get into any more detail without spoiling the story. If you have an hour to spend, definitely watch this show. It's amazing, and once you start watching you won't be able to stop.

This is in my opinion better than the studio version of the album, due to the added visual scenes and the energy of the live crowd.

Seen it. I hate Queensryche, so that kind of killed it for me. Still a very cool show though.

The original band is the classic, but this is probably the 'best' iteration of Venom.

New music video by one of my favorites. Again, those who listen to sreamo shit wont like it. Otherwise, pretty epic

anyone who likes metal..local band

pretty fuckin legit

Still developing thoughts on this


Premiered on MTV yesterday. Green Day has always been another one of my favorites. The song is off an album called Uno! which is 1 of a 3 album set, this one is supposed to be to more less instruments- more voice.

Video game Music is my general music, leave me alone. D:

TeeKup I will love you forever for posting that. YES!

Megalith and Stonehenge were some of the best boss fights in Ace Combat, and they had amazing music.

Megalith is one of the greatest video game missions of all time. ESPECIALLY with the story attached to it.

I haven't had a chance to play any Ace Combat other than 4 (demos aside). I still look back to that game in terms of storytelling. It's one of those "one man pushed a button to make it all possible" stories I hate, but the fact that this button pushing pilot spawned three side stories, and of which he was only vaguely aware of one (mobeus squad), just blew my mind.

Did the future Ace Combats actually do a decent job or were they doomed to gimmick gameplay mechanics?

Ace Combat Assault Horizon was the only one doomed to Gimmick gameplay mechanics. The entire game is a complete load of garbage and a waste of time.

Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War, Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War, and Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation, were absolutely stellar games. AC5 and AC0 remain my absolute favorites, AC6 is right behind them though. Still AC4 has a very special place in my heart, right next to AC3. I'm hoping future AC games make up for what AH did to the series.

This song and mission are essentially the namesake of my monicker "AVALON" that I've been using as of late.


If anyone reading this has never play or played much of Ace Combat, I recommend you do so, you won't regret it. Its an absolutely amazing series.

More Code Geass OST:

I know I've posted some of them before, but this is a series that I believe if it didn't have the music it had I'd probably not enjoy it. The music is just top-notch. If you haven't watched it, you really need too. I recommend the Dub over the Sub to be honest, mainly because they fix a lot of unintentional video flaws from the original Japanese release. But if you want to watch the sub, the music is still great. Definitely give it a go if you haven't already.

Libera me from Hell is probably the greatest piece of music to come from Jap TV.

I'd say from Anime really. I'd also go as far as saying it's the best piece of music with Lyrics from Anime as well. Scores and Orchestras are debatable though. Most Lyrics you'll find are in English. Either way, it's a fucking great piece of work.

Gurren Laganns entire OST is fantastic, but Libera me from Hell is one of the best tracks in that OST

This guy is amazing

Limp Bizkit played a really good set at Woodstock 1999, including "Break Stuff" where Fred Durst pretty much singlehandedly instigated a riot. Watching the fans surf around on giant plywood sheets ripped off the security barriers is great. Also, the closing song, "Faith," was performed really well, the crowd was super into it, and Fred singing on the plywood held aloft by fans was a really good visual. Killer end to a really great set.



I definitely recommend checking out the complete Limp Bizkit, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jewel sets from Woodstock 1999. Red Hot Chili Peppers playing Jimi Hendrix's "Fire" while several large bonfires burn amongst the crowd is a really great thing to take in.

Is... is that an RVN flag?

e/ hahah it is, what the fuck

Fuck Limp Bizkit

Granted, fred's a massive dick, his band is really good, and they DO put on really good shows.

You wanna hate on egotistical dicks, looks like you better stop listening to Mustaine as well, and the music that he inspired.

lots of pathetic limp bizkit haters in this thread

Yeah, but I love just about everything Mustaine has done. Limp Bizkit doesn't do it for me. Thus I feel the need to insult those who like things I don't like to feel better about my whimpish fanboyism.

Also I am a Zakk Wylde fag.

The Mountain Goats: an indie folk band fronted by one John Darnielle, who is in my opinion the greatest songwriter alive. They're based in Durham so I can go see them/him perform all the time.

Need more soundtracks in this thread:





Whether you like the show or not, Code Geass still has an amazing OST.


Final Fantasy Dissidia and Duodecim both have fantastic OSTs.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OacXUzTNXo
This track, this scene, this game, all my love.

I'm in love with this band now. Already ordered the CD.

As much as I dislike country, I love Amy MacDonald.

Can't wait for Kloktober 16th.

song owns

the real badassery starts around 1:17

At least those last two didn't have any random unintelligible screaming in them like the shit m00kz posted. That literally is the vocal equivalent of someone dragging their nails across a chalkboard. No idea how people find it to be entertaining.

it literally sounds like this:

The Reign of Kindo. My favourite band right up there with Keane, Coldplay, MuteMath:
