  1. Anybody see this ? I caught it last night on SyFy, and man, it was pretty brutal. Great story, performances, and the creatures are nasty! Some great fight scenes in this one!...Very impressed.
  2. I loved " Perfect Symmetry " back in the day, and it still holds up well. Great band. I was going through my CASSETTES, and came across it.
  3. Its a great story, though a little far fetched at times. Are dudes really that cool to each other in prison? Being all buddy buddy. But whenver its on, i cant help but watch it cause i know every scene. I think its right alongside Roadhouse as the most played television movie. Its on every night
  4. Pretty brutal movie. It feels very REAL, and thats whats so scary about it.
  5. QUOTE (metaldad @ Oct 8 2009, 05:18 PM) I saw them live 2 times, 1985 with Motley Crue and 1987[ i think] with AC/DC. They were showered with boo's both times Thats a damn shame. I could see them smokin the Crue, but AC/DC was pretty brutal back then live. I think a lot of people thought they were a novelty act. I saw them on the lightning strikes tour, i cant remember who they opened for but they rocked balls!
  6. QUOTE (RUSHHEAD666 @ Oct 8 2009, 04:59 PM) WOW! You are a "CRAZY DOCTOR!" What a great thread!! I LOVE LOUDNESS!!!! Akira Takasaki is a great fukkkin' guitarist! "THUNDER IN THE EAST!" I actually love the commercial record "Lightning Strikes." "LET IT GO!" Once Loudness hired that American singer I sort up gave up on the band. Their newer stuff is a lot heavier these days. Not really into it either. I do dig the early Loudness though. Love, "Disillusion" The stuff from the 80s just kills!...they put many american bands to shame from that era. I like the heavier, more recent stuff as well. Sadly, the original drumemr passed on a few years ago. But i think they are still touring. Heavy Chains!
  7. Herrrooo..we are wowdnessss!...I love these guys!...they friggin rock. Very underrated.

    Grace

    Its on my list Tick. Looks creepy.
  9. Man, why would anyone think they could outdo the original?..it just boggles my mind. Some movies you just cant touch. Im glad someone came to their senses.
  10. You have to go with the first one. Just creepy and leaves and unsettling feeling in your stomach. I like the way this was filmed with the dark lighting and overall low budget feel to it.
  11. QUOTE (Fridge @ Sep 27 2009, 02:18 AM) QUOTE (WCFIELDS @ Sep 26 2009, 03:05 AM) Anyone happen to have a setlist from what thye played last night? If they only played 45 mins, they for sure missed TONS of good shit....... Absolutely It's a total travesty that they have to be a support act for anyone at all, never mind an act which IMO they are much better than.
  12. The scene with the wife in bed with the horse is one of the funniest of all time!...absolutly hysterical and twisted at the same time.
  13. QUOTE (RUSHHEAD666 @ Sep 24 2009, 01:00 AM) Hey amigo! YOU NAILED IT! What a short but sweet thread. Hey on a Blair Witch Project note, I never really did understand the ending. I rewound it like ten times to figure it out years ago. Was the witch holding the color video camera at the end will the victims were tired up downstairs in that strange face to the wall situation? Crazy shit man! I actually liked the sequel too. All of this scary movie talk has me all excited about my favorite Holiday next month! I also love how the movie companies are pressing a bunch of horror flicks onto Blu-Ray lately. I picked up "Army Of Darkness," "Child's Play" "Children Of The Corn" "Freddy Vs. Jason" and "Creepshow!" Endless horror bliss!! Earl I dont think the witch was holding the camera. I think she made that dude stand in the corner, waited for the others to arrive, then took them all out. Of course , this is all speculation.
  14. I overall thought it was ok, but could have been a lot funnier. Some good cameos and the Rush referances were great. " Rush IS variety"....

Fox is a hot piece of ass and if she were standing in front of you right now naked and said "make love to me big boy", not a single one of you dudes claiming to be straight would turn and walk away. Let's be honest. Here here Not until we had some nice conversation first.
  16. Yeah she is hot no doubt, but no hotter than many other young tanned bad acting actresses.
  17. QUOTE (GeddyRulz @ Sep 16 2009, 08:57 AM) I'm a guy for "Ghost." Many of his other films were ridiculous, far-fetched action films with extremely bad writing, and acting that wasn't much better. "Ghost" had something for everyone, and - more importantly for this poll - it was one of his best acting jobs. Watch Swayze's reaction to seeing his own dead body near the beginning of the film... awesome acting! He was under-rated; he just rarely got roles worthy of him. The bad acting and writing were part of the charm . Just great cheesy , not to be taken serious movies. I actually think his performance in Point Break was very believable and quite intense.
  18. Love this show! Alex is playing a cross dressing cop..should be good!
  19. Dokken is back baby! ttp://www.metalsucks.net/2009/09/09/protect-your-chicken-from-dokken/

I don't understand. He never actually got to do the tour. What could they possibly be showing us here that we haven't already seen in some way, shape, or form? It's an honest question... what is this movie supposed to show? It's about the rehearsals for the said tour. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jackson:_This_Is_It I considered that, but wasn't sure. I don't know if I'd pay money to go see it in a theatre. I don't go to the movies enough to make this my winning choice, on the chance I actually got out of the house to have a night out. There are so many movies I really WANTED to have seen in the theatres, that I missed! (Have kids, you'll understand). However, if the money made from this release were going to his children - then I hope it makes a ton of cash. i'm thinking most of the money will be made in DVD sales Well, nowadays movies are put to DVD in less than 6 months. So you won't have to wait too long to get the answer to that question. Hey, did anyone else notice that the light between his shoes makes the shape of a jester hat? Hmmm. Is there meaning there? http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/39.gif Didn't notice that, but the spotlights coming out of his face are freaking the bejaysus out of me! They are coming out of the back of his skull. Even more freakier.
  21. Big Star anyone? How this band didnt become bigger is beyond me. Another underappreciated 70s group. Got #1 record in the itunes. Great Pop rock.
  22. Sorry man, but i think Boondocks is SERIOUSLY overrated. I thought it was a parody when i first saw it. Horrible dialogue and the acting was painfull to watch. I just never got what the big deal was about it. IMO of course.
  23. QUOTE (ReRushed @ Aug 9 2009, 09:34 PM) QUOTE (Necromancer @ Aug 9 2009, 09:57 PM) But at least back up your position on the matter. It seems that all anyone's done since I made my original anti-Hendrix statement, has been to attack that statement. But no one has offerred me one good reason as to WHY i'm wrong. Simply because no one CAN. You've all fell victim to the bullshit belief that "classic rock" stars are the BEST at whatever they did. Fine, but I know guys that unfortunately only play in clubs that blow Hendrix off the stage. Continue your forced worship at the alter of false musical "gods". Hendrix was an innovator. He defined what rock guitarists do with the guitar. He incorporated the dreaded feedback noise with melody and fluidity. He, along with the Beatles and Zappa, pushed the boundaries of the recording studio, incorporating a myriad of effects and techniques that today are taken for granted. Like many pioneering artists, what Hendrix did is lost today because of familiarity and imitation. Place him in context and nobody moved the art of rock guitar forward more than him. He did a lot of things first, you can't take that away from him, even if you personally like other guitarist better. Yes, many guitarists after him played faster and with more technical ability, but that's because that's pretty much all that's left to do with rock guitar. Also, you're wrong because your arguments are based on arrogance and assumption. You make a statement like the "belief that "classic rock" stars are the BEST at whatever they did" and blanket it across whoever is debating you. You can't assume it's true and it's arrogant to do so. It's a straw man argument, which you're very good at, by the way!. Necromancer, the master straw man! We can also look at someone like Van Halen. 30 years ago he was blowing peoples minds with the techniques he brought to the rock guitar world. Today those same techniques you can see being played by hundreds of unknown dudes on youtube. Even by the end of the 80s , guys were surpassing him at his own game. Does that make him less significant? Of course not. Hendrix was a true pioneer and the praise he has gotten from other musicians, not just guitarists, is all you need to look at.

Oh wait... i've NEVER wasted any money or download effort on anything by Hendrix. He wouldn't make my top 100. If I had to put a local garage player in the list, I would, before Hendrix. Stop sitting on the fence Necro, tell us how you really feel!! yeah, no more sugar coating! Necro, is it safe to say you hate all things hippie? Ummm.... yeah. Pretty much so. But it's just because all things hippie SUCK and i'm always right. I can't help that can i? Yeah Chavelle and Marylin Manson rock so much harder than that silly hippie hendrix. Very smart post on your part. It's all a matter of taste, but i've always been big on not caring about the past. I hated it when my parents couldn't listen to anything modern. I swore I'd never put my kids through that. Music gets better. Musicians get better. For his time... i guess Hendrix was okay. But when you listen to the shredders that I listen to, there's no comparison. Hendrix couldn't even guitar tech for guys like Dime or Kerry King. Not even an argument. I find fascination with music of the past to be a very odd thing. Can't one of you tell me you jammed along with your parents music. So ask me WHY are you becoming the same, close-minded people you KNEW they were? Let it go. His dying made him more of a legend than had he stayed alive and continued to create the shit that he was cranking out then. He'd have been forgotten about by now had he lived. Um, dude, my mom and I both love Accept, Black Flag, hell, all kinds of metal. what now I have no idea what you mean. I'm thinking it means your mom is pretty cool and accepts modern (or moderately modern) music and isn't stuck in the "glory days" of her youth. That's cool. But still... i don't know what you're trying to say. Sorry. I don't get the whole Hendrix thing. If he were doing his shit today, no one would care, so why the hero worship of him now? It's bizarre to me. His "talent" is questionable at best. I'll accept that he was innovative for his time, but he wasn't doing anything that wouldn't have been done by someone else eventually anyway. Clapton, Beck, Page and slews of other guitarist were already surpassing Hendrix "prowess" already. So even among his contemporaries, he wasn't "all that". He died young and let's face it, that made him more of a legend than he'd ever have been, had he lived. Could we really have taken much more of that feedback noise he made? Seriously??? I posted that because you said "Can't one of you tell me you jammed along with your parents music." and it just so happens pretty much everything I listen to was thanks to my parents' influence, one way or another. You have relatively younger parents I'm assuming then. And also, don't forget that the group of parents I'm talking about are the ones that witnessed the actual birth of rock and roll. If they weren't quite young at the time (like mine weren't), they never accepted it. There hasn't been too much of a leap in metal or hard rock from the days of Accept and such to today's metal scene. Except in the way of the growler type of lyrics, it's still pretty much the same music formula. So it's kinda easy for a parent who grew up with Priest or Accept to like today's metal scene. Though because of growlers, I find it hard to do at times. Now, parents who were young during the hippy days, seem to be just like the older parents I speak of. They hated their parents music, but they couldn't move on with the times and accept the changes in music, as they came along. They still try to claim that their era of "rock" was the best. I can't buy that or get on board with that at all. Most of them were stoned or high on something during that period, which reflects the appreciation for trippy music. Even if they are clean now, they still have that reminiscence feel towards it, which explains the huge success of classic rock stations. Some music stands the test of time. I still love classic Rush, probably moreso than most of their modern era stuff. I used to be a HUGE Zeppelin fan, but after hearing them enough and not getting any new stuff out of them... they became part of the past for me. Same with Sabbath. I could give a rat's ass if I ever hear Paranoid or Iron Man again, and they are the two songs that created me as a metal-head. I just don't get the holding on to the past aspect of musical appreciation. Not when there is so much great music out there that blows away all the so-called classic greats. I would much rather listen to synth pop of the 80's over classic rock. So i should cancel that Lava Lamp i was going to be bring too the TRF Christmas swap this year?
