For those unfamiliar with them....
It's like what would happen if Van Halen collaborated with Lead Sails Paper Anchor era Atreyu, with the fashion sense of Steel Panther, and the haircuts of Avenged Sevenfold....

Yes. it's THAT good Each to their own I suppose. I hate every single thing about that band!

Guitarist also came across as an idiot in a list of guitar players he was looking forward to hearing more of this year. he mentioned one who had walked away from music a few years ago

Yes they do look like the lost boys or something, but its feel good music which gets you dancing.

I'd rather have cheesy 80's stuff like Motley Crue, Van Halen etc

In other news.. Periphery have ANOTHER new vocalist

I've listened to Rammsteins new album a bit recently(not the special edition though!) and the songs are pretty good. At first I found it hard to take them seriously just because they were singing in German

I like them but tend to prefer different songs than everyone else. Never saw the massive appeal to Sonne, prefer Feuer Frei myself. I tend to listen to Ruoska and Turmion Katilot these days though.

I don't like Dream Theater much tbh... John Petrucci is an amazing guitarist but having 3 minute long solo's in EVERY song just gets boring. Then I hate the singer's voice

I've always preferred Symphony X, slightly heavier, MUCH better vocals, and although they still have the exuberant guitar solos, they are not as prominent or as annoying as they are in Dream Theater.

Yeah, I used to listen to Dream Theater, like, ten years ago and now I get friends banging on about them. Do wonder if they are being spoonfed new bands by a gaming franchise.

GH tends to choose poor tracks by bands. I was shocked to see a Darkest Hour song on GH5.... and they choose one of the worst, most commercial songs they have made. And it was one of the ones with rubbish solos Also I doubt some of the proper amazing but underrated guitarists will get on the game

In any case... I still don't like Dream Theater that much. If they replaced the vocalist with Casey Sabol and made the solos more bearable they could be amazing though It's not gonna happen is it?

Oh other news... Pin from Sikth finally seems like he has a band that he might actually record something with! Aliases is their name

True. They do have some underappreciated musicians like Joe Satriani but it is mostly the 'saturated' commercial stuff you already hear on the radio and see on Kerrang. Partly why I was surprised to see Anthrax and Testament to have songs in the franchise.

I haven't played a Guitar Hero game since GHIII. I was fairly surprised to see an In Flames song on there, even if it was from their worst album.

Anyway, I'm listening to some Emerson, Lake, & Palmer at the moment.

bro five

I've heard good things about Swallow the Sun, so hopefully they'll be spiffy support for Katatonia.

More importantly, no song has ever made me want to air saxophone whilst headbanging before this (from about 1 min in):

Swallow the Sun are really good live, superb heavy moments intertwined with dual guitar melodies and a beautiful atmosphere. Basically they are playing quite abrasive doom metal, but played in a more listenable melo-death style

[RJA]

Anaal Nathrakh were fantastic tonight! Never seen the Underworld go so mental - usually those massive pillars in the middle of the floor stop people goin nuts but it was a bit different tonight haha
