I listened to them one time and couldn't help but feel incredibly bored. I think I'll give them another chance sometime.

Maybe that's just because you Take No Prisoners

What do you guys think would be some good band names for a progressive thrash metal band?

Just curious.

Moaning about HMV is like moaning about rain being wet.

Have you forgotten that Ponos hates Meshuggah?

Eh, I can understand his thoughts. I gave Nothing another chance recently but my opinion is indifferent. Still not a big fan of their music in general but I is still a fantastic song.

I was half excited that Tim Schaeffer was making a new game, half worried that Tim Schaeffer is making something about metal with Jack Black. It'll probably be amazing, since it's Tim.

Very awesome!

More bands for my Post-Rock binge :D thank youu

Just wondering, besides Overkill and Ace of Spades, what are your favourite Motörhead albums? I've recently wondered about getting more of their albums since I only have three of them (four if you count the Ace of Spades compilation album I got one Christmas) and some thoughts on their other albums would help me a lot.

Ah, a question right up my alley for once.
The first albums with Fast Eddie Clarke are essential.
The first album is a must for it set up what was to come and it includes Lemmy's takes on the songs he wrote while in Hawkwind. Has a nice biker vibe to it.
THe second album, Bomber is also good.
No sleep til Hammersmith is essential, a great live set and aptly showcases the band's talents.
Iron Fist is ok, last album with Clarke, possibly get it down the road for it is the weakest album with Clarke IMO.
THe No Remorse Comp is ok but all the songs can be found elsewhere so it is not really essential.
Another Perfect Day with Brian Robertson is their most musically proficient album, lot's of good guitar work but Brian left within a year or so, couldn't handle the touring and he did not really fit in. Musically different from all the rest of the albums, good, different, worth checking out.
Orgasmatron is ok but not essential as well as Rock-n-Roll.
1916 is a good one and worth checking out.
I can go on about all the other ones but this should keep you busy for now.
I have heard every release by them and can give my opinions upon request if needed.
The main thing is the early ones with Clarke are essential, excluding Iron Fist which is good but not up to the previous albums' standards.
And a word to the wise, you own one of the better greatest hits so I would not waste money on any more for there are a number of greatest hits albums out there. Too many in my opinion like Hawkwind. Too many labels cashing in on the name.
So there you go for now, happy hunting and enjoy.

Two new albums:
Sons of Otis - Spacejumbofudge
Portal - Swarth

I've only listened to the final track of Spacejumbofudge so far (Anti-Nauseant) and I liked the sound of it, nice and atmos-y.

I listened to the first two tracks of Swarth last night too and it really annoyed the hell out of me and I had to turn it off. I'm carrying on with the album now, and I'm liking it. I'm putting it down to me wearing headphones last night and it just sounding like lots of annoying wasps were bouncing around in my head. You really need this sort of cacophony to just be blasting around the room.

Portal - The Swayy (Swarth)

Coroner.

Really digging at the moment;

A New Silent Corporation
And So I Watched You From Afar
Collapse Under The Empire

Also, some Sludge/Post-Metal, Minsk have a new album out that is great.

Wow! Bill, that is one hell of a recommendation! Since I have Ace of Spades and Overkill, looks like the next albums to get are self-titled and Bomber which were what I had in mind but now I'll have to get them sometime soon. I don't get many live albums but No sleep til Hammersmith is one I'll consider.

Another album I was considering was Orgasmatron but after your recommendations, I won't go after it just yet. Maybe around the time I start looking into post-Fast Eddie albums. But yes, all the albums up until 1916 should keep me busy for the time being and if I need more of their stuff, I'll be sure to ask you or anyone else about their later albums.

Also, not to worry, I won't be getting anymore compilation albums. Infact, I wasn't even wanting a compilation album in the first place. While I asked Ace of Spades for Christmas, my uncle picked up the wrong album and thus I didn't get the studio album.

And while we're talking about Motörhead, you mentioned Hawkwind several times and they're a band I really need to look into, so which are their best works? They have many albums so being told a highlight or two would get me started.

Hawkwind.
Been around 40 years and have basically put out something every year.
Their catalog is friggin huge.
I have yet to hear all their albums but have heard most.
To start you off I highly recommend the discs with Lemmy.
Doremi Fasol Latido-The first album with Lemmy and a classic, Lemmy plays bass and he sings and plays acoustic guitar on The Watcher.
Space Ritual Live-IMO one of the best Live albums ever, 2 discs of heavy space rock with the band in fine form.
THe Hall of The Mountain Grill-The first album with the Violinist Simon House who played with Bowie. Lemmy does Lost Johnny, catchy tunes a plenty.
THe 1999 Party Live- Another great live album with Lemmy.
Warrior on the Edge of Time- Last album with Lemmy and my personal favorite studio album. Lemmy was kicked out during this tour and directly started Motorhead and never looked back.
BBC Live- good set with Lemmy on bass and vocals.
Friday Rock Show Session-Good live recording, Lemmy guest vocals on Silver Machine.

THose are the Essential ones with Lemmy.
They are the ones with a more Metal sound.

X-In Search of Space: 2nd album and the first with Sci-Fi lyrics which they continue to use, definitely worth checking out.

Basically any disc from the 70's is good , primal space rock.

The 80's are a mixed bag, they dabbled in funk and new wave.

My best advice for now is find some with Lemmy and anything else ask me about ahead of time since some are better than others.

And one last thing, they have a TON of comp discs, way too many, granted some are good but the rest are the same rehashed material, if you want to get a comp let me know which one and I will let you know if it is worth getting.

This should once again keep you busy, enjoy and remember to inform me on what you find and I will give either the thumbs up or down.

These all sound really awesome, mind if I check them out too? I love how you can tell some bands are awesome automatically just because of amazing band names.

Bump for good luck.

You don't need to ask for permission to listen to a band.

I know this sounds stupid, but I thought that list was only for the user who asked it. Sorry.

Well it was for his benefit, but that doesn't mean their music becomes off limits to others :P.

How are they?

I finally got around to checking out Opeth, Vader, and Nuclear Assault! I like all of them!
Opeth: Great modern Prog band, my friends have been practically begging me to check them out for a long time, so I did, and I love them.

Vader: Saw them recomended on my Pandora station, so I checked them out as well. Great death thrash.

Nuclear Assault: A great thrash/punk crossover band. I question their sanity, however. Sometimes they're ridicously funny (Hang the Pope, Butt Fuck, and Long Haired Assholes) and at other times they are extremely serious (Radiation Poisining, Nuclear Assault, and Brainwashed).

I recommend all 3 of these bands to anyone who has not checked them out yet.

I know that I'm the one who mentionned If These Trees Could Talk first, but do we really have to make huge rants about "ROCK" bands? I mean, this is the Metal Hell after all, and the only reason why I mentionned ITTCT is because they do sound kind of metalish sometimes... but Hawkwind?... Anyway...

Yeah Hawkwind dumbfuck.
Their stuff with Lemmy is Metalish so fuck off.
I was asked a question and answered it, you got a prob too fucking bad.
