enderzero 0 Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 Hey snowboard_freak (and any other metal heads) - Have you checked out Killswitch Engage? On a few friends' repeated recs I finally grabbed a couple albums. Good heavy shit! I also can't stop listening to: The new album "North" by Something Corporate. Much better than their last album "Leaving Through the Window" (although the song "Woke Up in a Car" off that album has got to be my favorite rock anthem in a hell of a long time). Actually, until I checked just now I though North came out first...hmmmmm. Billy Talent's self titled debut. F*ckin fantastic new rock!! Of course, The Mars Volta. Man these guys are just toooooooo good. Every time I listen to this album (which is a daily occurrence lately) I fall deeper in love. PLUS(!!) they are gonna play in Shibuya next month!

Leaving me to, yet again, rock life on my own at the Saturday night show. What a strange guy I must be - wanting to go to a concert on a weekend when one doesn't need to worry about work.

rachael 0 Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 Hey, db! Do you worry about work then? I didn't get that impression Link to post Share on other sites
Goemon 0 Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 db: I'd go with you, but I'm going to the Warped Tour that night (as I mentioned and you subsequently forgot ). Anyway, the Wednesday show starts at 7:00pm meaning the show will be done by 10:30pm meaning you can get a train home meaning you can get enough beauty sleep before work the next day. To bring it back on topic: I'm bobbing to the new Lyrics Born album. It's that real hip hop y'all. Link to post Share on other sites

One is certainly an additional show on Saturday (and yes, there is also a sunday show). Buuuut.... as usual .db. is dismissed. Goemon: I forget any bit of info suits my complaining at the time . Anyway, I want to go and get pissed and play the monkey, not watch a show then catch the train home, iron a shirt, set the alarm and get up for a day in the office. Rachael: I care very much for how I feel at work, and when it counts, what I do. On topic: I still really like the Propellerheads and Nightmares on Wax. Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 All right, let's clear up the confusion on this... According to The Mars Volta web site they are playing: Weds. Jan 7 Tokyo (Shibuya AX) Thurs. Jan 8 Nagoya (Club Quattro) Sun. Jan 11 Osaka (Club Quattro) And now apparently the creativeman site says they are also playing Sat Jan. 10 in Tokyo. (But db if you go back to the original email thread we were all referring to the added date as Sunday. That is where that particular confusion came from - as eddie says, "my bad") I am planning to go to any Mars Volta show in Tokyo that doesn't also happen to be on the night that I have a back stage pass to another concert. So I guess we are waiting on that. In the mean time, why don't you just come to the Weds show. I am sure you won't regret it at all. And guys...WE NEED TO BY THE TIX!!

sweetaz 0 Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 hey! where is Mars Volta from?? Are we talkin HEAVY metal(Pantera) or??? Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 markie, u sicko! sweetz - from t6he USA, no, nothing like pantera.... nothing really like anything i know of... a totally new kind of hard rock. First time I have been excited about a 'rock band' for quite a while. Now, why did I come here, thats right ... listening to Faith no More still. What lyrics! Back and forth, I sway with the wind Resolution slips away again Right through my fingers, back into my heart Where it's out of reach and it's in the dark Sometimes I think I'm blind Or I may be just paralyzed Because the plot thickens every day And the pieces of my puzzle keep crumblin' away But I know, there's a picture beneath Indecision clouds my vision No one listens... Because I'm somewhere in between My love and my agony You see, I'm somewhere in between My life is falling to pieces Somebody put me together Layin' face down on the ground My fingers in my ears to block the sound My eyes shut tight to avoid the sight Anticipating the end, losing the will to fight Droplets of "yes" and "no" In an ocean of "maybe" From the bottom, it looks like a steep incline From the top, another downhill slope of mine But I know, the equilibrium's there Indecision clouds my vision No one listens Because I'm somewhere in between My love and my agony You see, I'm somewhere in between My life is falling to pieces Somebody put me together Link to post Share on other sites

snowboard_freak 0 Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Since ender reminded me of Killswitch I have been listening to their newest album "Alive Or Just Breathing". Digging it, good solid nu-metal. I picked up "Thirteenth Step" by A Perfect Circle yesterday as well. I've only listened to it a couple of times so far but I like what I hear so far. I'm looking forward to seeing them live again in Feb. Should be a good concert. Link to post Share on other sites
