definitely a cult classic

Iced Earth - Declaration Day


NOFX is not mainstream. But thank you for the compliment about my head. And yes, I would have heard of it because my friend is a Misfits fan.

Mage, I had no idea NOFX did that cover, I was referring to the Metallica cover of "Last Caress".

UB40- Red Red Wine

I really hate this song, and this band. I cant remember that over cover they did, but I hate it even more than this one. Oh yeah, "I Cant Help Falling in Love Weeeth You". What an utterly annoying song. Our project manager is listening to UB40 in the office next to mine, Im sure it's coming up soon. Prolly the Greatest Hits album. About time for me to break out the Wumpscut or something on her pretty soon.

has anyone heard of a band called dragonforce because they are just the finest example of speed metal I have ever heard.

Bauhaus - Hair Of The Dog

The man who was mortally wounded by war
Kept on fighting
The man who was cut to the quick by love
Kept on loving
The man who was mercilessly tortured by thoughts
Kept on thinking
The man who was crippled with concern
Kept on caring

Iced Earth - High Water Mark

Ammon, dont feel bad I just recently discovered Iced Earth myself. Im listening to their latest at work as we speak.

I highly recommend "The Glorious Burden", their newest. But if you end up getting this one, spend the extra ten bucks or so and get the bonus disc #2, which is in my opinion better than cd#1!
Ive listened to it far more than #1, it's unbelievable. There are about 3 instrumental symphonic parts tying all the songs together, among them a great mournful dual-guitar maiden-like dirge of "Glory, Glory Hallelujah".

The majority of "Glorious Burden" is about US history, primarily the Civil War, but it does also go into The Red Baron and Attila the Hun for a couple songs.
Musically, they shred, and are sound musicians. The vocals are good, but also a tad of a problem for me at times. Most of the metal I listen to doesnt follow the chorus-driven formula, these songs kinda go intro/beginning/chorus/middle/chorus/end/chorus/finish. The vocal chorus' are harmonized and border on sounding like classic metal, yet the instruments are a bit heavier like Arch Enemy or In Flames. I like it alot, it's a good departure from the gloom and doom theme. If you like power-ballad style historically themed power metal, Iced Earth's latest will rock ya. Make sure you get the bonus CD tho, I cant stress that enough, its brilliant.


Ok, back to work....

-- Radiohead
-- Nirvana

Oh yeah, Mindcrime is one of the greatest and most influential metal albums of all time! I had it on tape but never got it on cd. Revolution Calling, Suite Sister Mary... I havent heard that in ten years..
oh man im going to have to go get a copy now. Evil Succubus!
*thinks*
"Geoff Tate's voice.. top form that era of Queensryche, what an awesome voice, I wonder if Best Buy has it in stock, what time is it... can I make it to Best buy in 20 mins... it's just what i need,," ARgH!!


Bauhaus - Dark Entries



*looks at clock, keys, wallet**
