I don't hear pop songs on here. More and Burnout definitely lean in that direction but this album has what are probably their heaviest riffs to date. They've always had the melodic hooks in their songs anyways so this really isn't much different. I could see Pau doing a solo album that is completely pop one day but I don't think Dany and Ale will stand for it under The Warning name.

Lucifer is your answer. God was so threatened by the angel Lucifer's defiance that he sent him to the underworld.

Agreed. At least Nightwish had the awareness to know that they needed to go on hiatus once they started writing uninspired, going through the motions kind of songs.

There's a version of Opeth that isn't prog?

The string arrangement is new but the actual studio version was recorded three years ago. By the way, they are releasing this full show song by song on their YouTube channel. The sound, production and the band's performance above all else is amazing. Fun fact, all three had the flu during this show.

My guess is that you would have a better chance of booking bands if they don't have to strip down. If that's a requirement for you then you're probably going to continue to not get any interest. However, if all you want them to do is come and play for your community then that would probably give you a better chance.

To be honest, it doesn't take much convincing to turn off the new Nightwish 😄

And haven't done anything people care about in 40 years. Definitely time to step down. Cashed in on the nostalgia train for long enough.

I don't blame them. Every time I've heard Been Caught Stealing I've wanted to fight someone due to how annoying of a song it is 😄

Freedom? Did Dave have her locked up somewhere?

It might not be the fans business but he probably thought it was best to come clean right away before someone else said something.

What do you mean by Disturbed and their openers being too dysfunctional?

1. First Concert? The Monkees 20th anniversary tour in 1986 or 87? Went with my parents. Weird Al opened. 2. Last Concert? Jinjer in August of last year. 3. Worst Concert? I can't say I've ever experienced a truly bad performance from any headliners I've seen. There's been a number of bad openers and there have been other issues like crappy venues or overall bad environment that put a damper on some shows but the bands I've gone to see always seem to deliver. 4. Loudest Concert? Slipknot with Gojira and Behemoth in 2019. All three were the loudest and heaviest I've ever heard. 5. Best Concert? Rush in Syracuse on the Time Machine tour. I had front row on Alex's side. 6. Seen the Most? Rush 12 times. 7. Most Surprising? I'm not sure about that one. I think every band I went to see met my expectations. 8. Happy I got to see? Ronnie James Dio 9. Wish I could have seen? Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin 10. Next Concert? The Warning on September 18th

I know their popularity was more sustained in the UK and probably the rest of Europe over the years. But they got pretty big with their first few albums over here then they faded a little bit. Still, they had enough big hits in the US that people remember them pretty well.

They were big here as well. Couldn't escape them in the mid 90s.

Oh, I hope they're not as annoying this time around. They won't be forced down my throat by radio and MTV like they were before so probably not.

Possibly it was just from years of wear and tear. Still trying to hit some of those high pitched screams at his age probably didn't help.

Create a separate playlist for Hardwired like I did. All of disc 1, Confusion and Spit Out The Bone. Now you have an 8 song classic album like Lightning and Puppets. Most of Hardwired disc 2 is filler.

I thought you considered most things with electric guitar in it to be metal.

How can you have a funeral for something that never existed? Rogan has never been a funny stand up comedian. Just because he has good comedians on his podcast doesn't actually make him one. The only reason people pay attention to his stand up is because he is a commentator for UFC and hosting Fear Factor. Two very high profile gigs which have allowed people to know who he is. When it comes to comedy he's not even good enough to work a dead comedy club on a Tuesday night.

I definitely liked this song more than Perfume but both songs have the same issue for me. Why is the chorus in both of them buried in the mix and you can't make out the words? The chorus is supposed to be the hook in the song that gets stuck in people's heads that makes them want to sing along. That's not possible when every time I hear the chorus I can't make out a damn word. Perfume might be the guiltiest song of all time when it comes to that. This is clean, melodic metal there's no reason I should have this hard of a time understanding the lyrics in a chorus.

Pau has the nicest "open the pit" request I've ever heard 😄

I honestly never knew that there was a debate over which of these albums was better. I've always gotten the impression that Mindcrime was the preferred album by the majority of fans over the years.
