Just got back myself. Machine head needed to be on longer

It’s okay guys, we forgive you. Just make up for it with some sweet reviews.

even Disturbed? this i gotta see!

I read in the last revolver that David Draiman says he works out 90 minutes to two hours a day…I don’t see it.

Did you drink all the free rockstar energy drink they were offering. I think I had a can or two myself, but it was hot as dog balls and I think I spent more money on water than merch.

I must say…I haven’t been this excited for a concert in years

Tuesday can’t come fast enough

Rev- I love you man. You’re one of the best reasons to keep checking the site.

Get so mad when someone makes fun of your favorite band that you even have to defend their heights?
Do you happen to know how much each of them weigh? I could have sworn I saw the drummer rocking a bit of a gut last time I saw them…

Dude, we get it. You like Disturbed. A lot of the people on this site, including the two main writers, don’t. Opinions are just like assholes, everyone has one.

Now excuse me, I need to go listen to some crazy gore-grind that’s gonna make me want to go punch pregnant women in the stomach.

TJ: Dude, you don’t, it’s not about liking them, it’s about bullshitting, they’re acting like sheep as opposed to having any kind of real opinion, real opinion; “a personal view, attitude, or appraisal.” it’s not personal, it’s “OH ONE GUY SAID IT NOW I DO OMG”.

You do that, then get some really hot wings and beat off to football, FUCK YES. ;)

Metal: He’s not my buddy, and thanks for saying that you weren’t instead of being a total dick like some people and furthering how idiotic they made themselves look(looking at you Axl), he may have a gut on him now, last I saw him he was really muscular. I’m guessing since his surgery and being in the studio he could have put a little on.

I won’t get it twisted if the fucktards could just form their own opinions instead of becoming the sheep they try so hard to mock.

I just admitted to getting my thong twisted, even worse? Only Dave Attell would know.

TJ: See I have no issue with not liking the band and even insulting them on their merits I can deal with, but putting up shit Perez Hilton would insult someone over, that just makes them look like little…elitist teenage indie kids at [insert Californian suburban school].

I mean insulting their height of all things? Come the fuck on, the sad thing is, and this isn’t pointed at you, most of these utter retards could not point out something to dislike about the band, they’d just go “WAH AH AH” and resume their malaise on Metal, slowly killing it’s credibility from within.

I have no problem with not liking the band, but I’m going to feel free to attack such pathetic insults, Axl and Vince don’t know shit about the band, and continually show their ignorance and sheepish thought patterns in their posts, such as the “What guitar solos” comment back in the DEP v Disturbed article, because they haven’t listened to shit they’ve done since The Sickness and wouldn’t even know.

To be clear, that is the shit I’m insulting, that ignorant “I cannot like because they are not hardcore/obscure enough and refuse to be at all informed about them” shit where they pull the most inane insults out of their ass.

Axl & Vince: Yeah, I called you two so-called Metalheads Perez Hilton, google and be horrified.

Malice: You could say the same about Slipknot too, the defining thing is both bands better themselves instead of just churning out the same thing ala Linkin Park or Nickelback.

You’ll slowly become aware I don’t have that kind of bias as I’m a frequent poster, I hate listening to Slipknot, it sounds awful to me, but when someone said they had no talent, I defended them, pointing out they had obviously improved themselves whereas many mainstream bands don’t.

Are you slapping on Slipknot tattoos because deep down you’re just a fanboy who can’t discern what’s good and what’s bad about the band?

Hopefully the answer is no as it is with me, not talented? Jesus, they’re a very talented band, I don’t think the majority attempt to refute their talent, and those that do are largely idiotic Blabbermouth teenagers, it’s the way they go about using it that rubs them raw, a way that isn’t -core and minus the cookie monster vocals and excessive screaming with guitars that don’t sound garbled and sped up, and they aren’t singing about death and pussy.

Those are things I largely identify with the -core scene, which is what this site and it’s posters gobble up and hate a mainstream band for not adhering to.

Rev: I’d like to say I’m the kind of metalhead that likes a reasonable variety of metal for a variety of reasons. I never used to like the -core music, because the majority of it does follow the same mantra. Though I never used to like a lot of the bands I love now, including Meshuggah, Lamb of God, Motograter, Protest the Hero, Red Hot Chili Peppers, etc.

Now I’ve learned to find things that I enjoy in all the music. In most of the -core music I find I can’t really find any depth to the lyrics but when you’re driving or in a really intense mood sometimes its just good to listen to something as brutal as Whitechapel or Carnifex. Is Carnifex really that good in terms of musical capability? No…but are they fun to listen to? Yes, at least to me.

In a comparison of Slipknot and Disturbed, and as a fan of both bands, I’d have to say that Slipknot has definitely progressed further musically, and done a lot more with a lot less commercialization. It’s always interesting to me when people say Slipknot is “mainstream” because in reality they are FAR less mainstream than bands like Disturbed. I hear at least 4 or 5 Disturbed songs on the radio during the day, and they play far more frequently. I can’t even remember the last time I heard Slipknot on the airwaves unless it was a late night thing. Slipknot just has something that most other metal acts lack: a unique look, a unique sound, and a unique attitude.

I actually found Slipknot on my own way back when they first came out. I happened to notice their record in a kiosk that you could listen to and sat down and listened to the entire CD in the store before buying it. I ended up getting the tattoos on a whim when I was 17…maybe a fanboy move, but hey we’re all young at some point.

I just don’t think that Axl, Vince, and any other posters on this site are sheep or idiots just because they don’t want to recognize Disturbed’s talent. They probably like a wider variety of music than a good portion of the people who post on here, myself included. They just don’t like Disturbed, and its funny to make fun of them sometimes.

Metal: I agree that most of the people who don’t like the “softer side” of metal are probably just scared and that they would post it in the guilty pleasures blog. Unfortunately we live in a predominantly judgmental world and most people are very insecure. It really prevents people from discovering a variety of things that could end up being truly intriguing or inspirational.

There are always the things that we just won’t like. Like I’d rather shoot myself in the face with a load of steaming cat piss than listen to the White Stripes…but that’s the beauty of having freedom of choice! Zzyxy Road is a fucking awesome song.

If anybody wants to see REAL fucktards…just go to a political article online and read the threads THERE. That will give you some fuckin’ perspective haha.
