[stinkbutt]

Salah since this is the metal thread are you going to watch Tool? they really are one of the most captivating live bands ever

[sbessiso]

I'm most likely going to see Tool, yes. The biggest reason being practically everyone i'm going to be with will be at that show. Believe me this isnt an easy choice for me to make

[stinkbutt]

Well at least you're making the right choice for once (musically at least) I'll be there and the drugs help make Tool a life changing show so you'll enjoy it

[sbessiso]

Sounds good, S. You know how to speak my language!

[Backwater]

Too bad Lolla is the worst fucking festival ever.

[stinkbutt]

you sure you ain't thinking about Phish at the Roo

[TommyboyUNM]

I just wanna say Mastodon's "Crack The Skye" is one of the best albums I've heard all year. Thank you.

it really is and it sounds so much better live than all their other material live

[bballarl]

The Sword and Electric Wizard destroy my face.

[pancakespancakes]

I'm slowly getting to like Crack the Skye more and more. For some reason, I didn't really at first. But it's definitely good.

[pancakespancakes]

Anyone? Anyone?

[bug on your lip]

last time we did this Randy came into the thread and started bashing every metal classic from the 80s. i remember there was like 3 pages of people trying to convince him Reign In Blood wasn't horrible.. i think he only liked St.Anger or something

[Dogvolta]

I need to expand my metal library. Off the top of my head my metal includes Unearth, As I Lay Dying, Darkest Hour, Bleeding Through, Bury Your Dead, and some others I can't think of immediately.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

i have lots to add to the metal thread but i'm really busy at work right now

i will say that Kyuss' "blues for the red sun" is a fucking classic album

EDIT: that was in response to pancakes

Dogvolta - i listen to most of that same stuff as well. I'm very exicted for new Darkest hour this year...heard that Devon Townsend isn't involved this time around, so i hope they're able to retain that sound

[MassiveChemicalPunk]

I remember loving this song and the album.

[stinkbutt]

i will say that Kyuss' "blues for the red sun" is a fucking classic album

Welcome to Sky Valley is the best imho

[stinkbutt]

I need to expand my metal library. Off the top of my head my metal includes Unearth, As I Lay Dying, Darkest Hour, Bleeding Through, Bury Your Dead

oh you are in need of desperate help, get the new Isis album, Wavering Radiant

[pancakespancakes]

Welcome to Sky Valley is the best imho

Seconded. BFTRS has some of their better songs but the guitar sound Homme gets on Sky Valley is just so fucking great. It's the best.

[pancakespancakes]

Wavering Radiant is the first Isis album I've really enjoyed upon first listen. I think it's their best produced so far. Again... great guitar sounds on that one is what really draws me to it.
