casp - calling nickelback shitty simply because you don't like them is not discerning. it's simply close minded.

See how bad your logic is, sunday? Keep on failing though as it seems to be what you're best at. Metal, hardcore.. PWD are somewhere in the middle, and a serious embarrasment to both genres.

whatever dude.

Conjob - The kinks rule, one of the best bands ever. Massive fan of classic rock.

[Conjob v1.1]

Yeh kinks are sick. Have had that one on high rotation recently.

At the moment



(awaits casp )

and before was this



and then probably this

[caspian]

well, the kinks are alright and Psychocandy is rad.. 2 out of 4 is better than 0 out of 1.



The album cover adequately portrays the record, juvenile and relentlessly retarded, but yet still rather awesome. Perhaps not a record you'd play to convince someone that metal is intellectual, but the title track is one of Priest's finest moments.

Pfft. I wasnt awaiting your approval. I couldnt give a f@k what you like. Its the shit slinging im here for.

I guess i cant expect to much from a metal head.

Lies. But as I said, the Kinks and Psychocandy are cool, so feel free to listen to them without guilt or remorse, they both have the Caspian Seal of Approval (TM)

[.boh]

[savage flame]

Love a bit of 'Duster, hilarious lyrics, melbourne grindcore with 70's rock feel. Beltsy rules.
Will take negative criticism... now

black rebel motorcyle club can eat a dick.
howl was the biggest waste of $10 iv ever spent.

this on the other hand

[Conjob v1.1]

howl was the biggest waste of $10 iv ever spent.

To be honest i dont like or own any other albums of theirs apart from that one.

[caspian]

Very slow and brooding doom.. not really suited to this weather but brilliant music for just sitting back and watching a big summer storm roll in. Highly recommended.

metallica in just a few hours!!!!

[caspian]

thought I'd copy pasta the gig review I did for another site here

metallica/lamb of god/baronness


Baronness-
Not bad, sound was pretty awful so I couldn't make it out, some sort of vaguely doomy stuff with these really soaring vocals. My interest in them has been piqued to the point that I'll probably download some stuff to see if I should buy some music.

Lamb of God-
I wasn't really fond of Blythe's dumbed down tuff guy stage banter but I can't deny that all the other dudes in the band had excellent stage presence- that elusive grey area between "really getting into it" and "posing". Was good to watch, particularly the lead guitarist. Lamb of God's breakdown-heavy, "variations on three different riffs" was pretty fun and if tickets are cheap I may go and see them if/when they play Perth again, but I can't see myself ever buying/listening to them outside of a live context. Moronic quote of the night from the lead singer:

"Perth is the only city we ever play in Western Australia" <-- yeah well no shit

METALLICA

A far more intense two hours than I imagined. I wasn't front row but second row, which was a freaking hard position to maintain seeing as I couldn't grip the barricade. Not much in the way of moshing, just a never ending crowd slamming it's way to the front. Was hard work to keep my position.. A lot of the smaller people near me couldn't take it for too long. My dehydration didn't help either. Really intense crowd.

Excellent, excellent set though. Some problems with the sound early but that didn't last too long. James's voice sounded really good, he even pulled off the "we're gonna SCREAM OUT" scream in Hit the Lights, was rad. The other thing I was most scared about- the drums (no shit, right) seemed solid enough throughout (naturally, I wasn't thoroughly analysing his performance, I was there to enjoy the show), the machine gun bit in One sucked but otherwise Lars didn't detract from my enjoyment and added to the enthusiasm with his typically lively stage presence.

I think like 90% of the people though I was really there to get my Hetfield boner on and he delivered. Such a commanding stage precense- whereas the lamb of god singer was jumping off shit and running around like a monkey on meth to get us into it James didn't need that. I think the fact that these days he's a pretty huge tank adds to it. He just has authority, y'know? Whenever he came to sing in the microphone in front of me it was always brutal though, just because it meant an EPIC crowd slam was gonna happen. Still, he was fantastic, Kirk and Rob seemed tight (Somewhat like Lars, Kirk makes up for the occaisonal dubious bit of technique with a very good stage presence), Lars didn't suck too much, sound was good, bass was audible and the stage show with the lasers and pyro were absolutely fantastic. Also it was way louder than I expected! Only underwhelming bit was no Creeping death, but I'm sure they'll play it tomorrow.

The end of the line (works much better live)
For Whom the Bell Tolls (sounded amazing)
