- but I guess too heavy for Roomies 

Anyways, I don't any longer care about how popular a group is. I know that artists at the cutting edge are initially usually only appreciated by very few. That's the way it's always been. Fortunately over the decades and centuries, they accumulate recognition 

Not too heavy, really. Only too throaty. *burps*

[Peter]

All you need is now by Duran Duran which is a welcome return to form

Thanks for that hint, funky, made my evening

If you stilll remember 'em, there's also a german band from those days, who are trying their comeback in 2010, Alphaville:

Zero Hour - Eyes of Denial

nice,  ... very DT-ish, but muuuuch more vocal niceness (what a word...), will needs a few spins, though, and will most likely not end up as my daily dish. Also, I tend to get a bit tired of bass drum-machineguns, lately, and need to select wisely, in which music I want to hear it.

[Nicky007]

Wow, what a rocker!

Not too heavy, really. Only too throaty. *burps*

What's wrong with a deep throat ? 

OK, Cap, I get it now:  You don't mind "heavy" - Heavy oder was ? - but you do mind growl. OK, I'l keep that in mind 

Otoh you'r missing some great music with that filter ... e.g. KoK 

Well, I guess Caps should be allowed some ideosyncrasies 


Here's some more great Radiance - but maybe not quite as good as Burning the Sun:

NP  Radiance:  Downward Spiral

[Nicky007]

What's wrong with a deep throat ? ... KoK ... youtube ... Cxunxt

Anyone thinx I have a sick mind ?

Zero Hour - Eyes of Denial ... very DT-ish

Cap, you havent listened much to DT 

Voyager

That suits a Cap well

[Nicky007]

NP  Judas Priest:  Nostradamus

Cult - mmmmmmm 

You guys simply donno what you'r missin 


Priest are going on what they say is their last tour    the Epitaph Tour. They'r gonna play at Sweden Rock in southern Sweden, and at Copenhell. Guess who's goin 

I guess they didnt get as much recognition for Nostra as they had expected, people had their attention elsewhere ... and this is real sad, cuz it means that they decided to call it quits 

They ended up making their greatest masterpiece, and an album that together with Abbey Road, The Wall, Scenes From A Memory, and a few others, will pass into posterity as monuments of a great period of music 

Well, I don't think that Glenn & Co. will just retire. Let's see what they come up with ..... 

Nicky.

[Draco chimera]

Bon Jovi, You Give Love A Bad Name
Linkin Park, A Thousand Suns. I love it ! Robot Boy and When They Come For Me are some of my favorite.

[The Butterfly Man]

JP  The Dear Hunter  on  YouTube

Reminds me a bit of 3 - am I right there, Tom ?  And the singing of Matt Bellamy ... but else they'r pretty original, and cool 

Now that you mention Three (not 3 ), I think you're right. They do have something alike, but of course Three is also a highly original band. I've got to listen to them again soon I guess, thanks for the reminder.

NP  Tom Klijnsmit:  Weeds  (Life of Agony song)   

http://soundcloud.com/neon-streetlight-serenade/weeds

Hey, cool, thanks for listening. It may not be the most complex song out there, but I really like to play it!

NP: Scar Symmetry - Holographic Universe

I also like to play this album...

Tom

[Nicky007]

Now that you mention Three (not 3 )

Wikipedia, 3 (band): "3, also known as Three, is an American hybrid band formed in Woodstock, New York in the early 90s."

Hey, cool, thanks for listening.

I really like to play it!

OK 

I could do some accompanying stuff on guitar ... well, maybe one day 

I also like to play this album...

NP  Priest:  Nostradamus

Not many could'v sung Nostradamus convincingly. Rob Halford did, Russ, Warrel, the other Rob, and Mats (yeah, I'm really impressed by his singing on Burning the Sun) could'v ... and that's about it 

Nicky.

[Bupie]

NP Transatlantic - The Whirlwind

"And we got caught in the whiiiiiiiirlwind" ... 

But I'll try to listen to Nostradamus tomorrow, I promise 

[Teunis]

Muse - The Resistance
Seventh Wonder - The Great Escape

[Nicky007]

But I'll try to listen to Nostradamus tomorrow, I promise 

I'l soon call you Mad 2 (too) 

Don't do it for my sake (or for God's sake), do it for yours 

I just trawl the market for good music ... and inform you guys when I find somethin special

Whew 

Nicky.

Yep, that's one big load of dynamite! 

Not for the feint of hearts. 

[Nicky007]

Not for the feint of hearts. 

You know, Mad, don't tell'm, but now we got both Cap and Greenie tricked in. They don't even know that they'v become real metalheads - HA !!! 


Apropos:

NP  Adagio:  Archangels In Black   

e.g.  youtube.com/watch?v=YTkb1CRAuJo&NR=1

The Frenchies are now fully upfront in metalworld, e.g. Adagio, Gojira, Deathspell Omega 

Nicky.

I'l soon call you Mad 2 (too) 

Don't do it for my sake (or for God's sake), do it for yours 

NP Judas Priest - Nostradamus
Too soon to have an opinion on the music. The artcover is great but the booklet is a bit disappointing, both for the content and style.

BTW, Nicky, I am happy to notice that your all-time favorite album has been inspired by a French man 

[Nicky007]

NP Judas Priest - Nostradamus

Welcome back to progmetalworld, Bups 

Too soon to have an opinion on the music.

I'd say so 

I'v listened to that album over 100 times now. Still gives me thrills 

the booklet is a bit disappointing, both for the content and style.

It's more serious than what we're used to from that front. Get into the lyrics, Bups, that's very important in order to internalise the album. It's Christianity for the modern thinking wo/man 

I am happy to notice that your all-time favorite album has been inspired by a French man 

After having been Churchill's headache (not nightmare, that was Cap's folks), you guys have really got yer metal act together bigtime 

- see my previous NP post.

And Nostradamus was really bigger than life - whew !!!

Nicky.

for anyone interested how I create those wonderful "now playing" lines:
I use foobar2000 as audio player, and it allows to press ctrl+c on the played track and ctrl-v will produce the lines you see, after some fiddling with the config
Here's the format line:

Okay, forget what I said...

Well I guess I'll have to bring my guitar when I visit Denmark.

[Nicky007]

Okay, forget what I said...

"Swallow my words." Tom, don't ya have no more beer ? 

Nicky.

[The Butterfly Man]

"Swallow my words."

"Swallow my words" or "eat my words", you know what I mean! Besides, George Farquhar also said it back in 1702 --> http://www.answers.com/topic/swallow-one-s-words

Tom, don't ya have no more beer ? 

Oh yes I do, I'm just saving it for New Year's Eve. You can't be drunk all the time you know...

Tom

[Nicky007]

you know what I mean!

I was just tryin to be funny. I prefer to swallow beer

Thanks for the info, Peter.
I tried to use it in Winamp but I was, obviously, unsuccesful.
