Your current and dream gear/instruments Violin was the first instrument I learned to play and I've been playing it for years now. This my awesome Karl Willhelm Violin. This was my first guitar. A takamine acoustic guitar G series. Its one of the best acoustic guitars I’ve ever played and sounds better than other guitars that are $300 or more in its price range. Vibrant, loud and awesome resonance. The two other guitars I own are a Schecter Omen Extreme 6 in Trans Ocean blue And my most prized possession, a Ibanez S5470 Prestige Red Viking. I have two pairs of amps. A Marshall MG30FX 30 watt combo practice amp which is great for practicing at home with headphones or a band. Plus a Peavey 100watt valveking head and valveking 4x12 cabinet halfstack for filling in much larger spacious rooms. Aside from that I’ve got a SM58 mike, a crybaby wah pedal in additions to other guitar pedals and some cables. So that’s everything I killed myself to get. Now my dream gear. A Les paul studio deluxe.

Okay since I've had enough time to listen to their new album I can honestly say that I love it. At first I thought it was okay since their new record isn't as engaging as their last but there's some definite improvement and experimentation. The inclusions of string sections, higher pitched growls, catchier choruses, improved guitar work, and an industrial sounds. Morte Et Dabo is a perfect example of this. It's heavy and chaotic and has the low and high pitched growls, sparse menacing industrial beats, and a hooky chorus with an awesome guitar riff. The Match is sort of similar minus the higher pitched growls and with a techno breakdown. Both are some of my favorite songs. I also loved Dear insanity, Closure with another awesome electronic breakdown, A Lesson Never Learned which has the poppiest chorus they have ever done, Breathless, Another Bottle Down, and Someone, Somewhere which features only clean vocals. To sum up Reckless and Relentless: Pros: Deathcore like metal with techno breakdowns Cons: The lyrics could use some work.

I remember I use to hate poetry in my early years but then I started writing tons of songs. Granted most of them were crappy 14-year-old penned songs with a few jewels here and there. Then I started to take it seriously and made great effort to improve. Part of that was analyzing lots of songs, and getting into poetry. Now I love it and study it on daily basis. I experiment using different techniques, rhythm schemes and writing about a wide range of subjects. I also have an immense respect for bands/artists who take great effort not only to make awesome music but to write awesome lyrics. Especially since there are bands out there with sub par or downright horrid lyrics. The better ones usually have music that’s good enough so that their song writing can be overlooked. I'm sure I'm not the only here who writes lyrics, so feel free to give us a taste of your poetry/songwriting.

I found a bedbug. Now I have to check my whole room for them.

More speedy guitars, killer riffs, chaotic drumming, and some awesome rhythmic progressions. Skeletonwitch - Submit to the Suffering Dx3m0Xoua68

This is one my favorite anime series. Not only is it hilarious, but its got an offbeat animation style(usually during lots of character movement), and a really weird but original plot. I love the characters and excellent story telling. Which is why the mix of comedy, scifi, action, romance, and sexuall perversion are pulled off so well. A lot of the writing is really smart and subtle and something I grew to appreciate after watching the series more than once. Another thing I grew to appreciate was the series length. Initially a complaint I had was that such an awesome anime was only 6 episodes long but now I think it adds to the genius of it. And inevitably after watching the series it made me a pillows fan.

Final line-up: Stephen Keech – lead vocals Mike Murphy – bass, backing vocals Dave Krysl – guitar Giuseppe Capolupo – drums, percussion Scotty Whelan – guitar, backing vocals Haste the Day - Travesty 8mc_oby6_GY This is one of the metalcore bands I really got into for the past 3 years. Which was why I was highly disappointed when I heard they were breaking up. I did manage to see them live on their farewell tour and they left with what every band should leave with, a great album. One of things I always liked about this band is how on every album everything improved. The vocals, the instruments, the sound production etc. Plus I love Stephen Keech’s vocals. I found them to stand out more from other metalcore bands and to have more of a raw and harsher edge. While Mike Murphy’s vocals were always much more engaging and catchy. Attack of the Wolf King, which was their last album is probably their best work and IMO one of the underrated metal albums of 2010. Stephen and Mike give their best vocal performance ever, and is actually best heard on the balladish song White As Snow. The drumwork, bass playing and subtle technical guitar playing are all top notch. Aside from Attack of the Wolf King, Dreamer, and Pressure the hinges have to be favorite albums of theirs. Burning Bridges was also quite good, even though I don’t know of the more death metaly vocal were due to a different singer or that it was their first album.

The Hangover. Pretty funny movie. Liked how all the craziness is reasonably explained.

I can't say I've ever been into manga before since I don't like borrowing books from the library and I didn't have a job before to purchase several volumes of one series. But I decided to pick something up at the bookstore since I was having my wisdom teeth removed and would be home in bed for a couple of days. And I came across this. Biomega Synopsis: I've already read the 1st volume and its pretty awesome. I love the doomsday feel of the manga and the dark landscapes and futuristic cities are really well drawn. The zombies are both gross and terrifying. Zoichi is pretty bad ass armed with an assortment of weapons and his rad motorcycle. There's lots of action and a moment of humor every now and then. I''ll be picking up the second volume sometime this week. I especially recommend this if your into scifi, cyberpunk, zombies, action, or grizzly bears.

This. Also, Asking Alexandria - Reckless and Relentless Halo 3 Biomega Vol 1.

I think at this point everyone can blame herpes. Also I'm not sure if I should categorize this as bad or not, but I basically got a back boob massage by some girl once. I was at another metal concert and she was standing behind me and apparently really into the band because she kept jumping up and down. And since the crowd was really packed every time she jumped I kept feeling her boobs bouncing along my back. She did stop after like 3 or 4 songs.

^ Bringers of Death was a B side from Beyond the Permafrost(great album). Anyone listen to Breathing the Fire? Another kick ass release from them.

Final Fantasy XIII for the xbox.

I love their early work and though I don't have as much disdain as you do for their releases afterward( since I actually like some of it), it also makes me wonder why the hell melodic death metal bands all of sudden go Alternative metal/rock.

Fortunately for me I haven't had that many. Other than occasionally being next to some random guy with horrible B.O or being stuck behind a 7 foot giant. The one true bad experience was when I went to a metal show. I was all the way in the front, next to the stage enjoying the music when some dudes began crowd surfing. Every ten seconds someone was literary launched into the unreceptive crowd and passed overhead. It totally ruined the experience for me since I had to constantly be on guard and couldn't enjoy the music.. Despite all that, I get kicked in the head a couple of times and dropped my digital camera. I ended up moving away from the front to the side.

Skeletonwitch is an American extreme metal band from Athens, Ohio. They are currently signed to Prosthetic Records.

Between The Buried And Me - Geek U.S.A

Asking Alexandria - Morte Et Dabo Fuck yes.

Wait wha?! It's dubbed? I meant to type subbed, but I can't believe it's already dubbed.

This is why we need to invest in earthquake technology. I don't remember what it was called but some awesome dudes invented a device that's placed on major fault lines and it measures the amount of distance each plate moves. The distance is calculated into a formula and it'll give you a rough estimate of when the plates will give way and the areas that will be affected. Supposedly it predicated the Haiti earthquake. The tech still needs to be further developed since it can only predict the year the quake will happen and not the month or day. Plus it can only placed on major fault lines. There's also the fact that it needs to be developed so that it can be placed deep under the ocean where most fault lines lie.

I haven't been here in ages, until like 2 minutes ago. http://www.last.fm/user/Anarchist-Panda

Well I was worried about the whole movie in general, but from the trailers it looks pretty decent. I'll still be watching both movies once their dubbed even if its does turn out to another horrible amine live action movie. *Cough* Dragon Ball*Cough*
