Tosin is so good lol. My friend saw him last night, and we both saw him at bamboozle. He is by far the coolest guitarist ever hahaahA

 

[Luigitoilet]

One thing that weirds me about, especially in that video, is that he never uses vibrato. EVER.

It's just weird as hell. He has to be doing it intentionally because there's no way he got that good and doesn't know how to do vibrato.

 

[Palpi]

Ofcourse, it isn't that difficult to do, and he is ****ing amazing.

IWABO's new album is streaming

http://music.aol.com/new-releases-full-cds/#/3

first impression- not very good. nothing stands out to me at all, unlike the self-titled EP and the first album. I hope it's a grower. The highlight for me is probably the end of "Deodorant Cant Fix Ugly". RnB

Mastodon's new leaked single sounds everything like I wanted it to be. It's almost like they're returning to the form they had in leviathan.
Hotness

Also I can't say I care for IWABO's new album. I gave it a few shots and I felt a collective bleehh. At least it's not as much of a disappointment as Arch Enemy's latest album. I barely finished that one :/

 

[Wretched]

I've never been down with mastodon too much... but that is the best drumming I have ever heard from them.

Did someone mention tosin abasi?

He kicks ***.

Come to think of It, I remember reading in a guitar world issue that his favorite piece of gear is a custom shop hollowbody rga8, though I've never seen him use anything like it.

 

[Super_Sonic8677]

This made my day.
Say it out loud and you'll understand lol

 

[[FBC] Papa Mink]

Hahahahahaha.

I approve.

He was rated #2 for best metal guitarist under 30. I love his work

So, in November I'm going to see BTBAM headlining, supported by Animals as Leaders and Tesseract.

that is a ****ing amazing lineup. The only lineup I can immediately think that was better personally was IWABO opening for HORSE opening for BTBAM.

 

[Luigitoilet]

Oh yeah, and two days before that, Odd Future is going to be playing at the same venue,

 

[[FBC] Papa Mink]

Oh

Does anyone else have the new Suicide SIlence CD?
It's a 7.5/10, but it's not bad. And it's got some good instrument work.
Alot different than past stuff.

But it's across the state...


**** it I'm going anyway!!!

I saw Protest the Hero with Maylene and Tesseract back in April, be prepared for a kick *** show

 

[Pikaville]

Protest the hero are kinda weird, but I like them.

Unearth's new album gives me a boner.

The guitars and drumming are devastating.

My friend got Trivium's new album today too.

I'm not the biggest fan of them, but they have some good stuff.

Hopefully the album will be decent guitar wise anyway.

 

[Wretched]

Protest the hero are kinda weird, but I like them.

They're the only band that I have had to get used to.
I am happy that I got used to them.

 

[Roboturner]

I love Protest the Hero, all 30 of their songs are amazing. Their new album doesnt disappoint

So BTBAM, AAL, and tesseract are coming near me, guess I'm going to that show as well.

 

[Luigitoilet]

Protest is alright dudes. I can only take them in small doses though.

I'm still jamming hard on rolo tomassi. they are my favorite "new" band I think

[Roboturner]

^ first minute of that song sounds like it would be on a Metroid Prime soundtrack.

i'm digging it though, love how their name came from LA Confidential too

 

[Palpi]

I am not a huge fan of crazy sporadic technical math influences parts, that is why I never got into protest and other bands like BTBAM, though I like BTBAM much more than protest for their songs are more interesting and their soft interludes are beautiful.

Listened to Opeth for the first time in like 3 weeks last night and it was a great idea, can't wait to see them.

Scurrilous is so gross.
They completely took out all of the factors that made them anything but Progressive metal. The reason I like them so much is because of how undefined they were, but Scurrilous was a silly attempt at a commercial Prog album.

 

[Luigitoilet]

I don't find Scurrilous that incredibly different from their other albums to warrant such a reaction.

In fact that's why I don't like it that much. it just sounds like Protest the Hero. I ****ing hate when bands don't surprise me.

It takes getting used to, but it's not that big of a jump in style for them, it sounds way more mature than Fortress though.

I feel like they took out some of the cheesiness in Fortress but replaced it with bad lyrics from Rody.

Kezia still trumps all anyway

 

[Orboknown]

Old school metal.
Black Sabbath,Dio,Rainbow,Metallica,Iron Maiden,Judas Preist,etc.
Hard to beat time weathered classics.

 

[[FBC] Papa Mink]

Guys,

Trivium's new album is liquid gold.
It was 18 tracks. All are very well done. It's their most well rounded album i've heard.
IMO it's probably their best, they've combined vocals from Shogun and Ascendancy and the guitar work is phenomenal.

Not to mention, the new drummer is sick.

DUSK DISMANTLED
DUN DUN D UND UNDDUN

3:13 gets me every time.
MMMMM

 

[Cherished Doll]

I love Trivium!. They gave me a guitar pick and autograph ...
Gosh I didn't know there was a Metal Thread!! This is great!

 

[[FBC] Papa Mink]

Trivium's ****ing sick.

I'm going to see them on Sunday..

MMMMmmmm

 

[Cherished Doll]

Trivium's ****ing sick.

omg that's freakin awesome!!! Wth LUCKY!

MMMMmmmm

I love your enthusiasm!

I don't really like Trivium though

 

[Palpi]

In my personal experience, everyone I meet that is into metal either loves Trivium, or ****ing hates...there is no middle ground. I personally am not a fan either

 

[Cherished Doll]

I agree with that^ my boyfriend HATES trivium :/

 

[Roboturner]

Yeah, I personally don't like them. Their style of metal isn't my cup of tea and they are soooo cocky.

Oh and half of their songs just scream Metallica.

 

[Wretched]

I don't like Trivium.

 

[the melon!!!!!]

Anybody here listen to Last Chance To Reason? I'm really surprised I haven't heard of them before, they seem like a very talented group. From the two songs I've heard from them, they seem heavily influenced by BTBAM and Tesseract (moreso Tesseract), and have some pretty catchy keyboard lines.

Last Chance To Reason - Upload Complete


EDIT: Trivium isn't bad, but not something I can listen to for more than one or two songs at a time.

 

[[FBC] Papa Mink]

Ya'll are doin' it wrong.

Their new album is pretty damn good.
Alot of their Crusade album screams trivium.

Their new stuff is defintely more melodic.

 

[Johnknight1]

Saw Trivium live at Ozzfest 05 or 06... they performed pretty well live. I don't like them, but they were a lot better than all those alternativey bands. Still, they seem like a poser extreme metal band that wants to be an extreme metal band.

(also, lol at that picture Super Sonic posted; that made me lulz hardcore!)

Also, funny story, one of my younger brother's friend's thought I looked like David Ellefson from Megadeth, and asked me if I liked them, and told me how he was sad he had to go to a wedding over their concert with Slayer and Testament. I dug in my backpack, dug out the Testament drum stick I caught (beat off three drunk guys for it; it stills smells thanks to Paul Bostaph's sweat, lol!), and it was like.... BAMMM son! I do notz disappoint!

Funny stuff... >.>

 

[Luigitoilet]

I just found Lattitudes. they are a really great band. I guess they are post-metal, or something. very cool sound. droney, but not TOO droney.
