I can't believe I went to it 2 years ago.

I went to Ozzfest THIS year. I lost all my cred right now.

I went for SYL and to see Ozzy one last time. Oh, and BLS too

Jus' a wee bit. At least when I went I was uneducated on the "real" metal scene.

As common sense as this next statement is, Wacken > Ozzfest. Even though Wacken has Bullet for My Valentine on it's line up this year, when it could have been given to Axenstar or Insomnium, there's so many bands to masturbate for on this years lineup it's ridiculous.

Shhhhh no one else has to know. We should keep it at that.

I've never heard of Wacken until just then so I Googled it. Looks pretty cool. Most of the bands I've heard of but never heard, however some did catch my attention and got me pretty hyped. To bad I can't go because it's across the entire Atlantic.

i would end up not going anyway

i've never been to a show/concert

*GASP!*

I want to go to Wacken this year. Download is a bit shit, but they get some cool bands, like SYL, Opeth, Megadeth and such.

Wacken is cheap too... Download is expensive. Trouble is, none of my friends want to go to Wacken. All my friends want to go to Download.... and a weekend with friends and alcohol and no sleep is good.

Oh, and I'm going to see Necrophagist again on the 4th March :D. Cannibal Corpse are about in a few months too. So I'll have to check them out in greater detail and see if they're worth seeing.

Any song recomendations?

Wacken's in Germany. Nuff said. I can't afford it.

I'm gonna be there this year:

Indeed, plus Stratovarius and more importantly Blind Guardian.
The latter being why I wanna go.
I'll have to try and stop my friends being cliché 'METALLICA RULZ' gaywods and make them come to Wacken :).

me > you

Me 3==8 You.

Alright Idio, I finally got my mics to work! It took me about 30 hours, but now they work just fine :) it's very late here and I haven't slept in ages, so I'll take care of your song the next days, alright?

I thought about going to see Ozzy and Black Label. a couple of others sounded alright, but most were shit, and can someone find me a link for Wacken?

anyone want to give me any tips for helping my friend get more into the true metal, I finally got him out of rap and into heavy stuff, but his genre knowledge is shit, he calls nu metal death metal

Just be patient and show him the error of his ways and eventually he should come around.

educate him? Just tell him stuff, it'll come

Hey guys. Been practicing vocals for Morbid Angel's "Where The Slime Lives". I have a deep grunt/growl/echoe. It's a thing that I call "The Gurgle Growl". And then I have my Enslaved and Amon Amarth inspired voice. It's not as easy as it sounds. I've been singing for 5 years. And my voice gets better every year. Here's a tip to getting a John Tardy(Obituary) vocal. Put your tounge at the front of your teeth or at the roof of your mouth and do a growl. It will give a screech/echoe/growl. It takes practice.

I myself am also trying to get my friends into the stuff I listen too, simply because I can never relate to them. That and I get pissed every time they want to talk about how awesome Linkin Park is. So far, I've been taking it very slow. I'm starting by lending out some Iced Earth, Edguy, and Axenstar. You cant really get someone to go from Linkin Park and Three Days Grace one day to Necrophagist and Belphegor the next day.

Just slowly work them into heavier more aggressive stuff, and make sure they listen to it with an open mind. Thats the best possible way I could think of convincing someone. After all it wasn't but maybe a little more then a year ago that I used to listen to nothing but music on the radio, and I made that kind of transition too. I started with Iron Maiden, and ended up listening to Necrophagist and Death and more currently nothing but Borknagar and Enthroned. If you're not born with it, and raised on it, it's all definitely an acquired taste.

Ooh! Can I join? If I had the time I'd name out everything I like, but thats alot of bands, and I seriously don't have the time.

Top 5, I guess.

Slayer
Pantera
Napalm Death
older Sepultura
Deicide's pretty good.
older Cannibal Corpse

umm.. I despise shit like Marilyn Manson, erm.. most Nu-Metal garbage.

I'll see a bunch of you fags at Wacken this year.

Now, on to the fun stuff. An online friend of mine started a solo project some time ago and just recorded this last week. It's atmospheric black metal influenced ambient. Absolutely fucking amazing stuff. He's set up for a cassette release with Obscure Gate productions some time in the next month and is in the process of setting up a CD release as well.

Wither

2 more CDs came to my house today (Wintersun - Wintersun and Dream Theater - A Change of Seasons). :D

Just wait for now, educate him and he'll eventually know more about metal. I really should tell my friends that nu metal isn't metal, but I just don't bother telling them that, lol. Besides, they'll think what I'd say to them would be bullshit. :P

I did..... my friend loves AFI and Taking Back Sunday and stuff.... and I was like 'Hey, Jon, wanna come see Necrophagist with me and Matt?'
'Sure.'

I think you need to show these people the bands live, so they can truely appreciate the talent and such.

I've never converted someone from one extreme to the next. I usually ease em in with older stuff and work my way up to some death.

My friend really liked going to gigs, and Necrophagist was very cheap, so he came along for the shit of it. And he enjoyed them. He's coming again when I see them in March.

And I'm glad he did want to come... as my other friend, who is into tr00 Metal, had to cancel.

the problem with that is that no bands that are metal ever come close to where I live, the only one that did was Gigantour but I couldn't go because of school, but other than that, he mainly listens to whatever I put in the cd player when we hang out
