Love it actually.

When i first bought it i was less than impressed when compared with Famous Monsters and American Psycho.

I slowly got into it, realising that the covers they perform are their influences and done in fun, but equally are serious versions of classic songs that will hopefully make Misfits fans discover their roots.

That's very good by the way...really good....

Listening to the shimmering narcotic guitarscapes of Michigan space-rockers Windy & Carl, their 2012 album We Will Always Be, and their best one yet...

I'm listening to The Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness - Disc 2 - Track 2 - Bodies :rockon:

Excellent half of one of the great albums. I just finished listening to A Sides, a superb compilation of Soundgarden's best songs.

You seem to be posting loads of bands I liked in the early 90s at the moment Vic. These masters of shite are perhaps my favourite band from that scene and time.

This is dedicated to all the Steps fans on the board, because cut hands has the solution...

I've just finished listening to The Bends by Radiohead, which is only bettered by OK Computer for their best album and, for a change of mood entirely, I'm now listening to the Cannibal Holocaust soundtrack.

Not Kid A ? That and Amnesiac are my favourites... I was disappointed that they went back to conventional sounding stuff after that...

Don't get me wrong, I really like Kid A/Amnesiac, Hail to the Thief, In Rainbows and The King of Limbs, but it's probably because OK Computer was released shortly after I came home from an 18 month stay in hospital (or, more specifically, four hospitals) and was out buying CDs and DVDs, immersing myself in the music and films I'd largely missed over the past year and a half that the 1997 album is my favourite – I also consider it one of the best albums ever made.

In any case, I'm now listening to Kid A, with Amnesiac to follow!

Yep, understood and to add to that the best music is the soundtrack of your life - great post !

Been listening to the new Kiss album - Monster.

On first listen its terrific. The song structures hark back to the seventies and Tommy Thayer's guitars, and solo's especially, are high in the mix finally putting the Ace Frehley era to bed.

Paul Stanley has written the bulk of the material which is always a good sign, along with Thayer who has his hand in nine of the twelve tracks.

Sonic Boom was an excellent comeback for the band and this continues the great work.

As a footnote. The 3D picture sleeve version is well worth picking up. Its the best 3D image i've seen, showing amazing depth and even the finest details stand out with no blurring.

Listening to the music of decay - William Basinski's Disintegration Loops, a collection of short ambient tape loops which are slowly and agonizingly destroyed as the music plays itself out, ending up as ghostly fragments of hiss and static... Extraordinary stuff.

Clockwork Angels by Rush

The singer/rhythm guitarist from one of my bands has flown all the way to Toronto for the weekend to see Rush, the guy is crazy, 2 years ago he travelled to Dallas to watch them and last year he went to all but one if the UK dates, and that was because we had a gig on the night he missed! Talk about super fan!

The man has good taste so!

I've had a Metallica day so far, listening to Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets and now … And Justice for All.

Yeah he does, but he's also a little obsessive, apparently a lot of their fans are

Master of puppets,a great album.

Great choices, only thing that lets Justice down is the poor production and completely inaudible bass, One is my favourite Metallica track

I think that Ride the Lightning and ...And Justice For All are their best.
It's all downhill from there until Death Magnetic:rockon:

Yeah, I can only think of about half a dozen songs between the Black album and DM that I actually like, I Disappear being one, but that's down to Kirk Hammett and his Meatball pedal used in the intro

Rush are one of my favourites, as well. Hemisphers and Rush are my favourites. Everything about them are amazing! Geddy Lee is one of my favourite bassist/vocalists ever, Alex Leifson is a ****ing legend and Neil Peart... What can I say? The man is a God!!!!

If i had the money i would travel to the ends of the earth to see Rush in every city on every tour.

Hawklords -25 Years.

In 1978 out of the ashes of the disbanded Hawkwind, Brock and Calvert in the middle of the punk age turned up with this - a Roxy Music homage.

Greetings!

Greetings!

Edit: okay the black album had its moments, but from Load - st. Anger was pretty crap.

And if you watch Some Kind of Monster, you know why!

Yep, saw it. It's like a bunch of school kids trying to make music. It's also an hour too long.

One of my favourite comedies ;)

Currently got Maiden on shuffle as I make my way into college for the afternoon, live version of Remember Tomorrow from 1993 at the minute

When I first saw it, I was amazed at how revelatory it was and how enormous the egos were. The various band members are so larger-than-life and almost caricatures of heavy metal musicians that if you didn't know Metallica was a real band, you wouldn't be that wrong in thinking the film was a This Is Spinal Tap-type mockumentary.

I feel sorry for poor old Kirk, trying to be peacekeeper all the time. And what annoys me is how they made Dave Mustaine out to be a wingeing crybaby, most of his footage was cut

I thought it was hilarious when Dave Mustaine talks about turning on he radio and hearing Metallica, that he feels like crying:lol:

I'm listening to Blue Record by Baroness! An album my brother bought to my attention and have since become addicted to. Took a few listens to REALLY appreciate it, now it's one of the best albums I've bought this year.

I like the guy and I love Megadeth, he's had to put up with Metallica fans giving him shit for years, I bought his book in hardback for £2 from a discount book shop in Halifax, great read
