Actually, I just haven't been on here in WAY too long...been kind of heartbroken about not being able to go on Barge or 70K (again). Miss the amazing community of people here!
Awwww...you guys are so sweet to an ancient 70K veteran who mainly only lurked on here! I'm having a blast so far with the program; feel free to make requests if you want to hear anything! Although, I should say I mainly play death, doom and black sub-genres. For Mooyagi, though...I can do some unic...
Won't know for sure until I'm back up to 15k+ distances but am stoked to report that I've been running gradually faster further distances over the past week since all the physio and all seems well. Biggest challenge is gonna be not doing too much too soon which sucks but I just have to stay gratefu...
One of my personal favorites, Negura Bunget...from the Transylvanian region of Romania. (I spent many hours trying to track down some actual record shops that carried their music when I was working in Cluj, Romania, last summer!) They list their beliefs as "Transilvanian spirituality" on t...
Hey...thanks, Laura! Haha...getting called out on my lurkdom here.
And yes, I pretty much acted like a drooling idiot meeting Ihsahn. Holy crap! There are very few people in the world that reduce me to blathering nonsense...he's one of them.
Our own resident madmetalprof Stephanie has an entry in a remix contest. Not exactly metal but every vote counts as just a few tonight saw her go from 13th to 8th place. Even if it's not your thing, go vote now and show some LOVE!! Ya don't even need to register if ya don't want to. Just click vote...
Cruise needs more black metal. My only black metal fix came through Marduk, who I'm not a huge fan of. Immortal, Enslaved, Satyricon. those be my votes! No issues with those bands. Need some black metal but not too much, lest the cruise become too grim. I'd also vote for Winterfylleth, Rotting Chri...
Hey - no offense to the people who have made the "waiting to know the line-up before they book" comments..,.but, imo.., The line-up is almost irrelevant to me...I have no doubt there will be some kick-ass bands (that I totally love) in 2012 as there were this year. I found the BEST part o...
Here in San Diego at a venue called 4th and B. It's actually a REALLY crappy club (horrible acoustics and sound system), and I have a feeling Rob Halford would never agree to play a place like that unless it was in his hometown (which San Diego currently is). But speaking as someone who's only seen ...
Tyrwoman...great thread! I'm loving reading everyone's playlists. Did this for kicks at the gym this morning, so it alleviated some of the feeling of being a hamster on the treadmill. Entertaining, to say the least...my iPod has an enormous variety of stuff besides metal, simply because as a musicia...
I came out 3rd place in the popular vote, and was an honorable mention in the final judging. Damn! Don't get down because of that...your remix was awesome (and this is coming from a fellow remixer here)! I'm pretty convinced that some of these "remix contests" are fixed...don't know about...
Me and Steph. I look like I am listening to happy Finntroll songs and she looks like she is listening to Agalloch. LOL...that's probably because I was indeed listening to the new Agalloch on the drive to the gig... Next gig for me that I'm just going to ATTEND...local death metal show on Wednesday ...
gonna have to go with...in no order Enslaved - Axioma Ethica Odini Nevermore - The Obsidian Conspiracy OverKill - Ironbound Atheist - Jupiter Tryptikon - Eparistera Daimones Madder Mortem - Where Dream and Day Collide Canvas Solaris -Irradiance Soilwork - The Panic Broadcast (yay, they're good agai...
Hey forum friends! Here's a question I wanted to ask the "experts"...I'm going to be in Romania (Cluj area) for almost a month this coming summer for a workshop performance of my latest theatre work. The workshop itself is the last week of June and the first week of July, and will be booke...
Seriously...that Blind Guardian show was incredibly good! I will admit to having doubts about power metal in the past, being a huge death/black metal fan, but my cabin mate has definitely helped introduce me to a new world of..."happier" metal?! I'm a power metal convert now....can't wait ...
HAVE FUN YOU GUYS!!!!....Take pic's!!!(somthng Im terrible at remembering) Thanks Debb! I know we will. Not bringing my camera because I have no idea if they will let me bring it in. None of us have been to this venue before. Not sure what to expect being in Hollyweird and all... Hopefully, someone...
Great remix! Cool to see someone else from the forum on indaba - I just did the Underoath remix competition on there myself (as madprof13), but voting's closed on that one... I looked at the Reich - big fan of his music. Loved the direction you took this in, and the production is fantastic. Voting n...
oops i didn't see the other thread, thanks! well i hope you can make it, should be a blast! i know plenty of people going as i used to live in the midwest....can certainly hang with our raucous crew. you're a professor? what do you teach? i have a master's in Geography but teach courses at my work ...
I'm thinking about it at the moment, especially seeing as I'm moving back East with my husband this coming summer...still have to iron out other logistics, but if I can find some people to hang with, I may go. You may want to check out the other thread on this one that Tom Cruise started...I think i...
OK, no pressure there...haha. I'll give it another shot. This one's old school (and slightly campy). Also just happened to be listening to this on my way to work today, as it felt appropriate, given the title of the song (and how I was feeling about going to work): Kill, we will kill death Masturbat...
Me too...Monotheist is one of my all-time favorite albums...and hey, it's not that old ('06). I've just been on a Tom Warrior kick lately, especially after seeing Triptykon!
Well we survived Gwar and Detroit's Eastside! Before: https://photos.buckeye-express.com/uploads/~134018/5443/103120104025mebefore.JPG After: https://photos.buckeye-express.com/uploads/~134018/5443/103120103195after.JPG I love it too! Timely - the next show I'm seeing is Gwar, two weeks from tonigh...
Never take wealth for granted. It's really tough to come by. TV makes it seem easy but it's terribly difficult to achieve. So true...as a full-time musician, I felt compelled to add onto this thread. I've spent the bulk of my adult life as a working musician, doing whatever gigs I can take to pay t...
OK...how about this one...somewhat inspired by a show I went to last week. (This isn't from a band on the boat...) All is cold and frozen. Frozen the sea, frozen the sky. Frozen is death, but I cannot die. Cannot die. As the snow falls. To cover this all. And all is cold. And cold is all. All is col...
Oh boy, pressure's on... I'm sticking with a band that's on board the cruise (if I may give a hint) Thunder breaks the silence On five hundred men, assembled at shore Gazing through the misty rain At the mountain, not a mile away So dark and silent it stands there The mighty... This is too easy. De...
So last night went to see my friends in Metal Priestess play. Here are some pics! Me and my cabin mate. She is the Metal Priestess/singer/keyboard player. She promised to come out of lurker mode after I post this... http://www.movementlessons.com/pics/sm100_2488.JPG Here kitty kitty...Me and the dr...
Hey all - my name is Steph. Just paid for the trip yesterday and I'm beyond STOKED! Never thought I'd go on a cruise in a million years, but on one that is a floating metal festival...hell, yes. I've been intermittently screaming in glee to myself for the past 24 hours. I know that's decidedly un-me...
