Panache

I dunno if this goes here but since it's anime related I figured I would post it. [B]Kino no tabi:Volume one a beautiful world [/B] Yes it is a short novel. Anyway it's a damn good short novel. I figured it would be a lot more complicated than the series . But really it is easy read and is pretty faithful to the anime(or is the anime faithful to it?). [spoiler]I still can't figure out the whole train track thing.[/spoiler] I have high expectations for the rest of this book.

Metallica is awesome. I don't give a **** what anyone says. Sure most of load all of reload and all the albums after that suck...but the stuff before that was ****ing amazing.

[quote name='Kam']I don't know what Torture Squad's vocals sound like, and I really don't care, but these are some really pissed off death metal bands that'll probably crank your tractor just fine. [/QUOTE] [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOHSD6ZrigM"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOHSD6ZrigM[/URL] That is what torture squad sounds like... Anyway I don't mean a band that sounds angry. I mean a band that signs about anger and has it as theme in many songs. Lot's of bands SOUND angry. Also it's important that they are death metal...

I just bought guitar hero 3 a few days ago. I beat the game on easy and now I am trying to get the hang of medium. It's fun to play and that's why I play it. I am not really concerned with being super duper good at it. The songs that are most fun to play for me are Before I forget,One, and Cult of Personality.

I need a recommendation. For a death metal band that mostly sings about anger and things of that sort and is pretty visceral. It would be nice if their vocals were similar to Torture Squad.

[quote name='2008DigitalBoy'][COLOR="DarkOrange"]I'd like to know if you're purposefully watching BONES shows (erm... Sunrise shows?) in order or what? lol. I need to get around to Rahxephon myslef and wait a minute, how in gods name do you afford to buy so many DVDs?![/COLOR][/QUOTE] Clever money management. Oh and what do you mean in order?

[B]RahXephon 1-13[/B] At first it was too confusing for me to like. Then it started explaining things and got pretty good. Now it's confusing again...goddamit.

[QUOTE]I actually sat down and read through all 23 pages of this thread which took me about 3, 3 and a half hours to do so, only because I actually made attempts at looking up a few bands that got recommended on each page to see if I liked them.[/QUOTE]Ohhh that must ve been...fun. [QUOTE]What defines metal?[/QUOTE] Yes it is surprising no one has asked this yet.

I compare a Tool songs lyrics to a Slayer songs lyrics and this happens...must everyone blow things out of proportions.

[QUOTE]Lets see, right now I'm reading the Fruits Basket Manga since The first twelve volumes were loaned to me. I've only just started but it's fun since I have the series on DVD and I'm loving all the little tidbits that were left out of the anime. [/QUOTE] People tell me it's a whole lot better than the anime. Would you say so?(the anime was damn good)

Yea they probably do. So you don't want me to talk about Tool in this thread even with comparisons.Gotcha.

[quote name='2008DigitalBoy'][COLOR="DarkOrange"]Indeed. Mega indeed. Find myself walking around singing it and stuff. You seen the flash vid on vgcats.com?[/COLOR][/QUOTE] No I shalt investigate now. Oh and still alive is ony my myspace....and it is never leaving. Oh yea listen to the song and look at this picture. [IMG]http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb213/Aboywearingvans/thumbnailCAJRQUZS.jpg[/IMG] It makes all your sorrows go away.

[B]Still Alive[/B](the ending portal song) Man this song is definitely the best song in any video game ever.

[QUOTE]Haha! Just goes to prove that it can happen. [/QUOTE] It was crazy... Oh yea one thought I forgot to mention. That anime had the most epic line ever. [spoiler]But I can't seem to remember what it is...It was when the merchant guy left his wife. God dang it what did he say!?[/spoiler]

[B]Escaflowne complete[/B] Hmmm. Well just before it end it got kinda...well not as good as up to that point. But I think in the end it wrapped up well. It was a shocker when [spoiler]Allens sister[/spoiler] came back. It was also a shocker when [spoiler]Vans brother died[/spoiler] Overall I think this was a great anime. Probably the best ending I have seen in any mecha(although all I have to compare it to is Eva and Z.O.E Delores/Idolo). Rahxephon is next. I am hoping it is as good as Escaflowne... One final Esca thought. Good well developed(personality wise...) cat girls characters wtf?:o

[QUOTE]WHAT IS WITH EVERYONE COMPARING EVERY BAND EVER TO TOOL?!?!? STOP IT!!![/QUOTE]If by everyone you mean me it is because they are my favorite band. And I compare everyone to my favorite band(regardless of genre). [QUOTE]You and those of your bloodline will pay dearly at the hands of flame and thunder if you do so again.[/QUOTE]That kinda struck me as not serious. Sounded like a monologue from an anime I saw. I was mostly talking to prem.

[QUOTE]Also, Panache, I wish you wouldn't make it seem like Geneon made the shows themselves or something >_>[/QUOTE] They do know how to pick winners though. I don't think I have been disappointed by a show picked up by them yet. Anyway [B]Escaflowne up to 14[/B] This show is fricken great. The only problem is the long noses and the dub. Actually it's not even the dub it's this one girls voice and her dialogue thats all ****** up. Besides that the anime is 10/10. Edit: [spoiler]ight after I posted this cat girl stops a whole just by saying "I won't let you kill Van"...I hate how they suddenly pop in with random nonsensical event...I mean sure she stopped two cat people who probably pitied her or soemthign but come on...[/spoiler]

I never listened to Japanese metal before. Mostly because I don't like the Japanese language and I am afraid whatever I listen to will suck. Oh and I was listening to Slayer this morning. Man Seasons in the Abyss is a good album and Skeletons of Society is a great song. It reminded me of Tools song Bottom a little bit with the lyrics.

Way to blow something completely ****ing out of proportion. If I need a lecture I will go ahead and ask my history teacher. So hop off your soapbox. It was a joke and it was obvious that I wasn't trying to insult Nordic culture. I respect history. Now if there are any more problems pm me about them because this is ****ing stupid.

[QUOTE]Smoking joints on toilets is for lesser-minded philistines who have no self-respect or ability to make themselves useful [/QUOTE]You do know a good number of metal bands do some form of drug right(at least one member)? Unless you are mad about them doing drugs on the toilet specifically. And Electric Wizard is STONER metal. Hence they do drugs of some sort (unless they sit there and sing about drugs but have actually never done them which would be stupid). I suppose Electric Wizard band members would be doing acid. No one was actually being serious about any of that crap though...so like why does it matter?

[quote name='2008DigitalBoy'][COLOR="DarkOrange"]Listening to Had a Dad by JAne's Addiction. My parents were both major fans of JA (in fact, that's how they met) but I've never cared much. However, it's rare to find a song that rocks a ******' monster groove like this one. 4 minutes of pure unadalterated funky groove. [/COLOR][/QUOTE] I remember some critic saying that Tool sounded like Janes Addiction or something like that. I don't know where the hell he hears a resemblance. Anyway they are pretty good. They inspired a few bands I really like(Aic,Soundgarden ect...)

...Wow that is uhhh a lot of praise for that show. I thought it was pretty good. The soundtrack was pretty good and the characters and ideas behind the whole story was good. It did get cheesy at times though...with the three subordinates of that one blonde lady. Classic Geneon goodness.

Excuse me for trying a genre fusion. *goes off to hang out with the nu metal kids*

Nah they wrote it on the toilet smokin a joint Inside the deepest depth of of the Naglfar whilst the souls of the damned wailed in pain as they approached the citadel of agony.

[quote name='Jakehammaren']Electric Wizard sucks because they don't record in frostbitten forests beneath the ancient Northern fullmoon amidst weeping oaks and silent pines that are cloaked in the white robes of winter while the wolf howls cryptic tales of forgotten misery to eldritch gods upon astral thrones of antediluvean grandeur. Have you all learned nothing? And don't steal any of that. I think I'll use it as lyrics.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Hardly doom at its best. Maybe stoner metal at it's best, but definitely not doom.[/QUOTE] But what about when you said this? And when you said they were good(couldn't find that post).(I know you weren't being serious)
