yeah they still do rock...I just won't listen to anything past the black album.

I can't hate them completely...I say if it wasn't for Metallica, I probably wouldn't be listening to metal today :) People used to make fun of me because I listened to metal...this was back when the Backstreet Boys and all that crap was becoming popular.:shadedshu

fyi: gojiras new album will feature Randy Blythe and from what i've heard so far, it looks like i may actually buy the cd, it fucking kicks ass (as you may have guessed i don't buy many cds, mainly because they are not worth it)

edit: it will be out on oct. 13th

what was the last cd you guys bought?
for me it was obzen by meshuggah, i pre-ordered that bitch and got a free shirt, for me the cd has to be BAD ASS or come with something really cool like a shirt or ozzfest tickets for me to buy it

obzen is easily one of my favorite records

I bought The Apostasy by Behemoth and Ithyphallic by Nile at the same time, because they were released simultaneously. I rarely pay for my music (too expensive for the amount I listen to), but I deem those to be worthy purchases, and cheap as well for being new releases at the time. One of them was like $11 at FYE I think. The other was also under $15.

last CD i bought.....

Panic Cell - What Doesnt Kill Us

http://www.paniccell.com/

I couldnt find this CD ANYWHERE online so i bought it....

hmmm.....Im not ashamed to say that Im one of the few/Millions/Billions/Gazillions/Trillions who would prefer to download albums rather then buy them from shops. primarily due to the fact... (1)CD's STILL cost way too much for a 'hologram' glued underneath a peice of plastic (2) my music tastes changes & Varies ALOT I may think something is jesus playing a harp one minute next moment I think a meat grinder shredding bones is music to my ears (3) try buying over 100Gbs worth of music & see if u got enough money for rent....

when there is an 'ALL TIME' favorite band that I like - i buy their CD's - I go seem them live when ever possible. Its hard for me to name my #1 favorite band

Exactly, not to mention it's more immediate to download something rare than looking all over the internet and waiting for it to ship from some foreign country.

Going to shows and buying t-shirts and merch other than CD's is the best way to support the band itself, without giving money to the greedy labels. I always try to go see bands that I like and I try to buy at least 1 shirt at every show.

just got back from the mayhem fest in Chicago it was pretty damn awesome, but it was no ozzfest, first off i couldn't drink, and on top of that once again i was shown that Illinois people are pussies the pits were weak as hell, the biggest pit happened for the first band of the day and that was for the red chord, but all the bands sounded pretty damn good, but david from disturbed, it took him 3 songs before he was fully warmed up, also the set for slipknot was to short, btw they rocked that place, no doubt about it they are back (and they were phenomenal, they went all out for this show i was happy, they sounded better than they did in Milwaukee)

also i met the red chord, half of dragon force, and the lead singer for mastodon

nope but the red chord was lol

they got in a little fight with the jager stage, thus initiating a wall of death between two stages, and our stage won

agreed. Do you know each album is a soundtrack to a comic? The concept is a comic called The Armory Wars and they make the music to go with. Well worth a read.
