Slayer

How did Beckett's game from 03 get included on that list? Good performance, to be sure, but as far as WS moments from this decade, the golden standard belongs to the 2001 WS, which had Jeter's "Mr. November" homer in Game 4, the Brosius game-tying homer in Game 5, and the entire bottom-ninth inning from Game 7

Based off of posts since my last one, I went and checked out some other CDs mentioned (via sampling of full songs posted on Youttube) Origin - Hey, they're from my own state. Neat. Liked it, could have loved more were it not for my major complaint about the production, namely that the drums are way too loud over everything else. I get the drums play a major role in these types of bands, but I want to hear guitar licks and vocals first and foremost, not the 200 BPM BADADADADADADADADADADA DABADADADADADADADADADA. Nachtmystium - didn't care for this one. As for other subjects Scar Symmetry - I actually enjoyed the 80's metal harmonies (*see below) on this one, very nicely done in conjunction with the death growls... I'm not sure what to make about their use of a vocoder though. The Haunted - I can only listen to the two Marco Aro albums. I can't fucking stand any high pitched XTREME HARDCORE vocalist, which would include Peter Dolving's oeuvre. Also, Laz was right about Dead Eye. Not only was the music shite, but if you're taking song title writing tips from Shrimp Bizkit's swansong, it's time to pack up. *Speaking of 80's metal in 2008, thanks to metalreviews.com I was able to find Marcello Vestry, featuring former Danger Danger guitarist Rob Marcello, which is chock full of 80's style guitar licks and vocal harmonies with songs that would not sound out of place on late afternoon MTV twenty years ago. If you enjoyed the 80's hard rock revival sound provided by Saints of the Underground's album earlier this year (as I did), then check out MV as well

The early 90's MTV Raps movie?

There's no way out, no way out

...here's one thread on the subject, which in turn has links to two other threads

Is this what I've been reduced to now?

The Packers season not going to shit

okay First, a brief history lesson (which I include to direct you to other bands). GR was founded by Kai Hansen, who was one of the guitarists for Helloween on their three classic albums: Walls of Jericho and Keeper of the Seven Keys 1 and 2. After KOT7K2 he split off and founded his own band, GR, with vocalist Ralf Scheepers. They released three albums before Ralf split off to audition for the open Judas Priest vocalist spot that would eventually go to Tim Owens. After that fell through Ralf formed his own band, Primal Fear, and Kai took over the GR vocals and released six more albums to present day My personal opinion is they're in the mid-tier of PM groups (albeit near the top), not the best of the best, but with plenty of good songs. GR discography From the three Ralf albums, check out Insanity and Genius, which includes my favorite GR song "Last Before the Storm" From the Kai albums, check out Power Plant (their best album overall, IMO), then Land of the Free and Somewhere out in Space. After that, I'd say just go through the three more recent albums in chronological order until you get tired of them, as IMO those albums successively decrease in quality

What about them?

Fridge is going to have nightmare flashbacks about that name

I've got five out of a potential top ten list set for this year, but I still have a list of about 10-15 CDs from this year that I still I need to check out, in addition to those yet to come. Top of my list at this point is Pyramaze's Immortal... shame that Matt Barlow made that a one-shot with Pyramaze to go back and do more of the same with Iced Earth. While the new IE is definitely better than the previous one with Owens, Pyramaze could have made some more excellent albums with Matt on board.

Fischer Barnes doesn't even come fucking close

A check of the Vikings boxscore shows that they finally scored an offensive TD in 3rd quarter, after getting a FG and defensive TD in the first half

It's a good thing they aren't also Boston sports fans... that'd kick them into levels unheard of

Just as I was hitting reply, he tossed his second pick of the game, though to be fair that pick was a due to good defense and receiver not paying attention... The first one though was a wide open pick

At least on your end you're stuck with a good team to watch every week On my end I have a team that's pretty well written off this year for rebuilding

Matt Ryan just heaved an amazing 40-50 (dunno for sure) yard TD pass in Atlanta to put the Falcons up 14-0 over KC

tre "Not as awesome as Slayer" ble

and while it is nice to see a fresh face in the playoffs, I'm not looking forward to watching playoff games in that stadium of the devil's design

I'm certainly not shedding any tears over the Yanks missing the playoffs, but on the other hand the AL side of the postseason will feel somewhat aimless without the pinstripes in it. On the one hand, it'll be nice that they don't have the chance to add to their double baker's dozen of titles, but on the other hand it'll be like 1991 WCW after Flair left... sure there's a substitute heel in place, with either of the two Soxes playing the role of Luger, but it just ain't the same Cheech "Long way to go for a point" Tremendous

Awesome I too was guilty of occasionally turning down the TV and cranking up tapes, CDs or the radio for sporting events (since 95% of my youth gaming could only happen on weekends, which caused problems during football season). This was moreso during the NES day when even well constructed MIDIs from Zelda or FF could still get annoying and repetitive over time. Of course, once you got into the PS1 age and music/sounds in the game began to serve a more important role in gameplay (ex: Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid) I couldn't do that quite as much

If I was finally able to get into brutal death, Agent can get into KD speaking of which, it's almost October (or ROCKtober, as Agent derisively said to me a few years ago when I brought this up) which means it's time for my annual binge where I load all my KD/MF CDs into my booklet MP3s onto my iPod and try to listen to all of them over the course of the month

When Barron doesn't object to your banning, you know you've fucked up

At least that Rule 34 actually shows some wit and creativity, rather than just showing various children's characters in assorted carnal activities

More like Banhalen, m i rite
