some of my favs are:

amorphis

The earlier ones ( ...Karelian Isthmus) or the later heavy, doom laden, mish-mash?

It's been a long time since anyone even talked about Amorphis. The earlier stuff had a slight Bathory-esque feel to it, but were very distinct nonetheless.

Aaah, I am quite smug today...

my knowledge of amorphis extends to their best of ....chapters.

awesome stuff

im still learning and discovering a lotta new stuff.

Behold! One convert, at least, has been made in our fair city. Hallelujah!

Fidd, sorry to burst your bubble, but I think Azazel just added another dimension to his musical plane. Calling him 'convert' ain't fair. SO, you go can go "purrraaaisse the laawwrd" when you actually find another Bakra. As far as the gig was concerned it was FAB!



Black Wiz, IMO "Mama Said" was one of the sveetest song to have ever penned down by any artiste. They felt that it was time to move on with their 'career', and explore other aural avenues. They made their own style and musical statement, and 'progressed' with time oblivious to public bantering. If this ain't "metal" then what else is? Also, Metallica, was the single most force which made 'Metal' mainstream. The very fact that, you even are able to access so many bands is bacause of 'tallica. Metallica defntly metal. Lars Ulrich was like a God to me 10 yrs back, and as far as I am concerned he still is to me.



Badcash_high(?!??!) - Do I see goregrind in your post? Now.. now.. get out of that Purgatory Bay and lets march under the Grind flag. Core/Crust/Mince/Splatter... whats your pick, boy?

[black wizard]

no offence to u 'tallica fans

its just that metallica were great in the 80's.

ulrich was god...i agree...but dude, st anger is horrible...

except popesmokesdope and azazel not many of u have heard of SEAN REINERT, PETE SANDOVAL , TOMAS HAAKE and ABBATH (from immortal), TONY LAURENO and "THE" dave lombardo.

i think these guys should start a group that sees to the plight of people like us who have no access to these bands... they should probably donate a couple of hundred cds in the name of brotherly love .. no offense sister....

[azazel]

LOL and I'm answering you again: I'm not a member, but I'm closely associated with them. Why?

damnit, forgot where i asked u earlier..

in the case of a remote possibility of gettin a coupla bands from mumbai/banglore to perform here.. keepin in mind the venue i.e. DC.. just wanna know how to go abt organising it

I disagree!



You are trying to say that Sandoval, Abbath or for that matter even Hellhammer(!!!!!!!!) are > than Lars. What is your base for this? Just beacuse these blokes pound away at a scymrrffigngggly high speed (200-400 beats/min), and apna Lars anna at a measely 40 beats/min. Have you listened to "Nothing Else Matters"? If yes, did you pay enough attn to the drumming. Thats POWER frigging DRUMS maaaaann... and he has managed to actually blend it very well with the tempo of the song(which needless to say is sober and punch-drunk). Lars was born a drummer with raw talent(talent being the operative word here). Guys like Sandoval, Laureno slogged their ass off (they actually had to put in 20 hrs day for 4 mnths) and then be where they are right now. Most of these guys are actually gung-ho and continue with their one-dimensional trillll-trilll-trilllll-trilllll... satan-satan-satan... trillll-trillll-trilllll stuff and then fade away blissfully. Ofcourse, I am not trying to belittle anyone here. But, my point is that there is NO common ground for a fair comparison here.

Shut Up, Babyface! Suck thy thumbs, and eat thy porridge, for 'tis past your bed-time.

whoa! dude dude dude!!!



that was just MY opinion. you dont necessarily have to agree with me...hell u dont have to agree at all!

NOTHING ELSE MATTERS is not my kind of song. i find it boring.

i'm happy listening to the "trilll-trilll-trilll...satan-satan-satan" songs.

but popke...can we compare LOMBARDO "the double bass bulldozer" and ULRICH? Thrash-thrash?



i just want to know what u think of LOMBARDO. Dont forget to take Testament's-THE GATHERING when u elighten me with your views on Lombardo.

[black wizard]

dude...i'm sure u must have heard SARCOPHAGUS by NILE. Did u check out Laureno's drumming in that song...no blast beats, just the occasional double bass fill. man those crazy rolls and awsome cymbal work! the splash, the crash, the ride the friggin' hi-hat, those "cymbal rolls" dare i call them...?



plus the guitar sound rules!!! and the Egyptian theme fits into their sound perfectly!!!



NILE rules!!!



\m/

[JustaLittleUnwell]

I guess I missed this discussion :)



Not sure if anyone mentioned Megadeth - i'm sure they belong somewhere here. Also, Iron Maiden - not as 'metallic' probably - but great stuff and a lot more accessible.



Not much audience for the Classic Rock, Hard rock, Grunge / Alternative / Modern rock genres? Also, any gigs happening in town?

good to c ya here, dude.. nething goes.. bring it on..

not to my knowledge..no gigs comin up..

[black wizard]

dude...my buddy AJAY SHASTRI'S band is gonna play at 10 DOWNING STREET on the 17th...

the band is called JEKYLL AND HYDE...they play hard rock, a lil' metal and psychadelic stuff...stuff like WHITESNAKE, OZZY AND FLOYD

[Jaszalcatraz]

Ajay Shastri's band? Who else play in it? But I seriously hope Ajay plays newer songs.

[Fiddler]

Fidd, sorry to burst your bubble, but I think Azazel just added another dimension to his musical plane. Calling him 'convert' ain't fair. SO, you go can go "purrraaaisse the laawwrd" when you actually find another Bakra.

No worries, PSD. I forgive you. If ever I find someone who's weird enough in the head to listen to a single band 24/7, will let you know.

...in the case of a remote possibility of gettin a coupla bands from mumbai/banglore to perform here.. keepin in mind the venue i.e. DC.. just wanna know how to go abt organising it

Azazel, PM me an I'll give you the numbers of some people who'll be able to help you out.
