I bought the 3 disc package (2 audio + 1 bluray) a few weeks ago, and it's absolutely incredible. I like the Dark Side Mix as it's a bit brighter, despite it's name. But both mixes are killer, and if you're a fan you should own this album.

They're one the greatest bands of all time. Pure genius.

Permanent cloud storage- who do you use?
launchpad67a replied to blueschica's topic in Reverse Polarity
Are you just looking for offsite storage? Or are you looking for actual "offsite backup / disaster recovery"? Because they are different. If you just need to store files somewhere, it's super simple to pull that off without a service. If you want actual "backup / recovery" that's more complex and requires a service. How much data are you talking about here? -
Top 10 Rock Albums Every Music Fan Should Own

Can't argue too much with that list. All solid choices. I own 7 of the 10. Great records! -
National Geographic: A Critically Endangered Species?
launchpad67a replied to Principled Man's topic in Turn The Page
The end was determined in January 2017 when new owners, Disney, decided that DEI was the path forward. Nat Geo has been a highly regarded publication for decades and widely embraced. But just like every other company that chooses DEI over their loyal customers and employees, they fail. Reduction of "print media" is not the reason here. Loss of customer base is. -

Entre, the best Moderators are unseen and rarely heard from. I know you better than you know me. My name is Mike, I'm a Cancer, and I'm a porn star at my other job. Nice to meet you! Member #200 in 2004.

Thanks man, and I completely agree with this as well.

As the moderator of this forum I find the number of polls to be a bit excessive. But I also realize that activity and engagement within MoTS is very important and much needed on TRF. The only benefit I can see for creating a new sub forum is it would dramatically clean up the look of every other thread being a poll. If the majority of new threads in MoTS are polls, moving them doesn't make much sense, because we absolutely want activity and engagement in the main forum. Are there too many polls? Yes. Should we do something about it? Probably not. Do we need a poll to decide this? Are you f**king kidding me?!

EJ is one of my top 3 favorite guitarists. I've seen him 8 times, met him a few, and absolutely cherish every song he has ever released. I will admit that I had not heard him until Ah Via Musicom was released, but instantly purchased Tones, and the rest is history. Very excited for the 2 album release this summer. I'm currently sitting on front row tickets for his new tour that's been postponed twice.

They're just alright, IMO. Talented, decent composition, but still just alright. Modern songs without vocals, regardless of genre, bother the hell out of me. I'm sure they have songs with vocals but I won't go searching for them. Baby Metal is a better band.

Thanks everyone! Shooting a show on the 4th, so all is good.
