This is Rev Theory. Some of their stuff is a little weak but overall they're pretty heavy. Hope some enjoy!

Yeah I think you posted the studio version of this a while back. I like checking out the live versions. I'm not a big fan of that type of vocals but the guitar stuff is pretty sick. Nice song though. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by jimmyjames from Friday, March 04, 2011 3:48:24 PM)

Awesome Brian, I'm a big High On Fire fan, that song is definately one of their best. Saw them live last week, powerful and loud for a three piece, kind of like Motorhead. Great show. If you get a chance to see them you should take it.

It started out as a live thing. Watching the crowd response and how they fed off of it. I like the way they change up the tempo in their songs.
When they go slow then heavy it up it gets the crowd going. Then I started listening to their music and quite honestly I love it. I like how many
different styles of music they actually play. I like them having two singers each of them very different in style. I like that they go from a ballad
to metal to hardcore in their songs. I'm going to see them in May. I can't wait. I like the visuals, it works for me.
I only post them here because you don't like them. I'll stop doing that in an attempt to stop the back and forth with you.
I will continue to post here because I still think this is an awesome idea for a thread. You obviously won't like everything just

Hey Jimmie
Coming from the same area that Pantera did, I was aquainted with them( not friends) and Phil was the problem there. His ego was unbelievable! My old band used to do the same clubs as them before they were signed, and man even in the beginning he was an ass. Vinnie and Dime were that band. The damageplan is good, but not up to Pantera standards.
jimmyjames wrote:
Not really interested in Rebel Meets Rebel, again the artists aren't on the same page. That song is all over the place. Cliched lyrics too. Stupid video. I haven't really been interested in much that Dimebag and Vinnie have done since Pantera. The Hellyeah band looks like shit although I must admit I haven't listened to the Damageplan album which I just never got around to. Even though Dime is really respected I always thought Phil was the man in Pantera. The first Down album is awesome but the second and third are a bit patchy and their live album is abysmal. I get the feeling that Pantera, like Priest, are at their best when they are together, not involved in other projects. Unfortunately that's never going to happen again for those guys.

Well I watched the whole video right through. It was ok but I don't think the bands image suits their music. It almost sounded like country metal on the chorus which is ok but the verses just sounded like indecipherable nu metal crap from the late 90s early 2000s. The video looked like it was influenced by Tim Burtons Nightmare Before Christmas with the scarecrow. The part where the guy tried to look thoughtful and meaningful as he sang towards the end of the video cracked me up because it was impossible to take seriously with that stupid costume. I think this band would be better if they were more focussed instead of taking all these elements from everywhere and trying to put them together. ie The horror movie image, the heavy nu metal riffing, the distorted rapped verses and the country metal chorus. It sounds like they aren't to sure where they want to be. I think the guys voice sounds like he could be in a good country metal band, maybe along the lines of Alabama Thunderpussy, who were awesome.

He was telling them how lame they were, how he wasn't going to continue unless people started getting into it more.
He said this was the worst crowd, used swear words, and said he would never come back. The funny part was that the

Well I watched the whole video right through. It was ok but I don't think the bands image suits their music. It almost sounded like country metal on the chorus which is ok but the verses just sounded like indecipherable nu metal crap from the late 90s early 2000s. The video looked like it was influenced by Tim Burtons Nightmare Before Christmas with the scarecrow. The part where the guy tried to look thoughtful and meaningful as he sang towards the end of the video cracked me up because it was impossible to take seriously with that stupid costume. I think this band would be better if they were more focussed instead of taking all these elements from everywhere and trying to put them together. ie The horror movie image, the heavy nu metal riffing, the distorted rapped verses and the country metal chorus. It sounds like they aren't to sure where they want to be. I think the guys voice sounds like he could be in a good country metal band, maybe along the lines of Alabama Thunderpussy, who were awesome.
Be warned this is not for everyone. Deathstars are a Swedish band who have been around for about 10 years. It's like a combination of the Sisters Of Mercy and Rammstein dressed like Marylin Manson. Ignore the video and just listen to the song,I really like it.

This band, Control Denied, was formed by the late Chuck Shuldiner of the band Death. He wanted to incorperate elements of heavy metal, power metal and death metal and came up with this album. The Fragile Art Of Existence, this song is called Believe.
[jimmyjames] Thursday, February 17, 2011 2:59:13 PM
They are a great band and now you mention it parts of it were very similar to Queensryche. Glad you liked it, might be a new band for you to check out. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by HOT ROCKIN' METAL GODDESS from Monday, February 14, 2011 4:33:02 PM)

...O.K.,so this one isn't for everyone, I'm not sure I even like it. It's sort of like cheesy 80's metal(glam) in it's sound
just not so much with the look. It does have a catchy beat and Zakk Wylde cameo's with some guitar work.

I heard these guys on Jimmy's radio show so he should get credit for this one unless you guys hate it then just hate on me(LOL).
They are playing "Mayhem" tour also.(July 29th, Pittsburgh) I'll be there..
[Budred] Wednesday, February 02, 2011 6:43:33 AM
Probably not a band most here will like but I think they're pretty heavy. I'm not the biggest fan of "growling" but I do
like some of it. These guys are on "Mayhem" tour this year. The headliners are Disturbed, Godsmack and Megadeth. I
can't wait. It should be kick ass!!!

I think the operative words there were "very old school" You got that right. From the album cover art to the sound, it would have fit right in on the Heavy Metal Soundtrack.
Dated like April Wine. I still like a few April Wine songs, but I don't think I could sit through the whole albums anymore. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by jimmyjames from Monday, January 10, 2011 4:32:07 PM)
