Looking reeeaaaally good today buddy, looking real good! Super extra credit to whoever crafted that clay figure, because not only is that a legit Eddie guitar, but it's the one from the Women and Children First album cover.

I can see me going through my thrash bands soon! Taste is edging closer that way atm That's what I have been doing. Went through Anthrax and Metallica. Now moving onto Megadeth. There is a strategy though. I am seeing Testament in May so I'm building up to that by listening to other thrash bands. If I time it right I will be listening to Testament just a few weeks before the show. Did you hear that Dave Lombardo joined Testament? Yes! Now the drums will sound like they did on The Gathering. I'm guessing they will be doing a few off that for sure now. They usually play at least one song from it.

For me, the keys thing is a non-issue. ATCWR does have a guitar solo, so there's that. I like the edginess of EWS better than the poppiness of Cradle.

Ultimately, I am disappointed that ATCWR and EWS made it to the top 2. Romeo Delight should have been the last song standing. This is why we do these polls. :)

Asia. Just simply good music

Been doing a stream of King Crimson's albums this week.

I'm disappointed that Loss of Control got eliminated so early

Hello... give me the British Dental Association... and fast. :D Oh no, not again. Take it off the hook. :hockeygoon: Oh, oh, oh Bevis, should we? :drool: All right, I'll have a quick look at yer Thomas Hardy. :hug2: Here comes Hardy walking out toward his desk, he looks confident, he looks relaxed, very much the man in form as he acknowledges this very good-natured Bank Holiday crowd. :cool: Well, here comes the referee: Con-Fu-Cu, Confiucius :atickhum: and his two linesmen, St. Augustin :angel: and St. Thomas Aquinas. :angel: I hope you three gentlemen aren't going to be indecisive! What the hell are you doing under that table? :tsk: Well, they're hiding now. They were wearing masks and making silly noises and one of them pretended to be Howard Webb. :moon: Yes. And, er, he never showed any inclination towards being a referee before this happened? He wanted to be a lumberjack. :Alex: Leaping from tree to tree as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia. :no:Szechuan's the province and Shanghai is the port,And the Yangtse is the river that we all support. But have just picked up capitalist ship on ladar scanner. :outtahere: Hello Sailors! Listen, guess what. The Minister of Aviation has made me head of the RAF Ola Pola. :ebert: :eh: Is there a promotion involved?

2016 -The Threat Is Real by Megadeth

Leaves' Eyes and In Flames There is something about European metal that I always find a comfort. Of course it's the familiarity, but the melancholy and melody that so many bands have from Europe have I find so comforting.

Good song, wish it had a bit more music. Feels just a tad short. Best version is the louder version on Rush in Rio

I concur that Vital Signs from "Live In YYZ" is undoubtedly from March 24. I played a few seconds of the official track, then played the same few seconds of the audience recording, and go back and forth through the whole song paying close attention to the way Geddy sings for the most part, as the vocals are the easiest way to identify. Also paying attention to any standout instrumental bits that could be unique. I'd used this technique to determine the dates of the PeW 40th and some other official recordings in the past. My most likely theory here is that they simply labeled the wrong date, the entire show is likely March 24 and not March 25. If this is surprising, remember that the Hemispheres 40th Anniversary's version of 2112 was labeled as being the Tuscon '78 version, but it was actually the Offenbach Stadthalle '79 version. The other possible scenario, they mix-matched several songs from the three nights in Toronto '81, but the fact they actually gave us the March 25th date, not just "Live in YYZ", leads me to believe it was meant to be from all one performance. The PeW 40th didn't give us dates, rather just the cities, which all happened to be locations they marathoned consecutive nights at, so comparing to old audience recordings were the only way I was able to denote the exact dates. Interestingly, the March 25 audience recording was unblocked on YouTube a few days ago, after having been blocked a couple weeks before the MP 40th reveal. Now the March 24 recording has been blocked as of a few days ago. So I'm going to guess whoever issued the copyright claim realized the date error, and probably the entire "Live In YYZ" is March 24. This kind of stuff may be trivial to some people, but I'm a stickler for historical details and accuracy. I find it interesting that they got the date wrong on an official release yet again. Speaking of that, what's this talk about ESL being recorded in Toronto? I know the ESL footage was from Montreal March 27, but the LP is stated to be from Montreal March 27 as well (not counting Side 2), albeit a completely different mastering and much studio tampering. Were they already labeling dates incorrectly this far back? I'll have to look into this some more. If true, that old saying goes, you learn something new every day.

:( :( :( Maybe the statue will be built by then! ;)

Been thinking of checking that one out. Looks interesting.Finished watching Power of the Dog last night. A relentless antagonist drains nearly all joy from the story but it's got a great twist at the end, literally, that rewards the faithful.

I mainly get it when I use the search feature, when I click on any of the threads they don't load. But if I go and find the threads myself they work fine.

Oh no!! I do hope you get to feeling better soon. Get lots and lots of rest these next few weeks. It may be a while before you really feel back to normal. Sorry to hear about you having the 'Vid, Segue. i remember being very tired and achy, but it passed fairly quickly for me. Lost smell for a while, though. Maybe this will cheer you up... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKjhLq4NXIE

Cuzzo gave me a big of weed for my birthday Sunday and my jury duty was canceled. OOOOHWEEEEEE!
