    Never officially owned a pet. I had cat when I was younger for like a week, but I had to give it away. Totally sucked.

    I don't have any plans for a pet at the moment, though I'll definitely be getting a cat in the near future. I love cats.

    Unless you have your own private studio where you can be as loud as you want, I find its tough to find a decent place where you can practice your instrument, especially with a full band. I'd thought about sound proofing or going to rent out a studio but at the moment for me it's unnecessary. Usually I stick to playing my violin and acoustic guitar so I can get away with playing them at home without any noise complaints. If I decide to play my electric guitar I run it through a small 30watt Marshall practice AMP and hook up some Shure headphones to it.

    How does every else overcome the noise complaint problem?

    Stand and Up Scream got me into these guys. I usually have a hard time getting into metal bands with electronic and techno beats since all the ones I've heard don't seem to mix the two genres well. Here's an exception. Another fact to point out about the band is the use of clean vocals, screaming, and death growls. They sorta reminded me of Bring Me The Horizon when I first heard them, except I liked them better.

    I still love this guys. Never imagined they would get so big or the amount of unwarranted hate they would get.

    Filter is a rock group formed in 1993 in Cleveland by Richard Patrick and guitarist/programmer Brian Liesegang, who later left the band in 1997. Filter has released five studio albums, the most recent being The Trouble with Angels, which was released on August 17, 2010.

    Richard Patrick, an early touring member of Nine Inch Nails, met Brian Liesegang and the two began to record together under the name Filter. Their debut album, Short Bus, released on Reprise in 1995, became a surprise hit thanks to the single "Hey Man, Nice Shot"; by the end of the summer, the album had reached gold status. Liesegang departed in 1997 over creative differences, but Patrick retained the Filter name for 1999's Title of Record, which eventually went platinum and spawned another hit, "Take a Picture." The Amalgamut followed three years later, after which the band went on hiatus, returning in 2008 with Anthems for the Damned.

    I got into this guys back in the day when I first heard Hey Man, Nice Shot, and took a listen to Short Bus, which was awesome. I followed some of their next few albums but I sort of forgot about them. Then I recently got into them again with The Trouble With Angels, and I was totally surprised. It's hand down one of the best albums they've put out(if not the best). It's a very solid rock album. I love the industrial, and electric-vibe the album has along with the heavy guitars, and vocal melodies. Stuff like Drug boy, No-Retry, or Catch a Falling Knife. They're worth a listen if you don't already know them.

    I just bought this anime on DVD and started to watch it over the weekend. And well...It's sick!!

    It's really gory, brutal, intense and addicting.

    Director Ichiro Itano presents a hellish vision of the afterlife in the brutal horror anime series GANTZ. Transported to a strange post-death limbo, high school student Kei and his childhood friend Kato find themselves in a barren room overlooking Tokyo with a motley group of strangers--including two hot-headed gangsters and a naked young girl--as well as a mysterious black sphere known as Gantz. Kei and Kato soon discover that they and the room's occupants are all dead and have been brought there by Gantz as part of a secret government plot to kill criminal aliens that roam the earth--and that if they refuse their deadly missions, they face a fate even worse than death. Moody, stylish, and animated with veritable buckets of crimson blood, GANTZ plays like a twisted hybrid of YU YU HAKUSHO and LA FEMME NIKITA, with graphic violence and nudity deemed too graphic to be aired on Japanese television without major edits and re-cropping.

    Nevermore is an American heavy metal band from Seattle, Washington. Formed in 1991, they are known to incorporate elements from styles such as thrash, power, progressive, and neo-classical metal into their songs, and also makes use of acoustic guitars and a wide range of vocal styles.

    The Obsidian Conspiracy(their last album) made me a fan of theirs. It was definitely one of the better metal albums of 2010. I loved the hyper technical guitar shredding of songs like The Termination Proclamation, Moonrise (Through Mirrors of Death), or The Obsidian Conspiracy. Plus epic songs like She Comes in Colors, The Blue Marble and the New Soul, and Emptiness Unobstructed.

    I’m really glad I got the chance to see them perform at Radio City Music hall last night, because they were AMAZING!!! They’re songs are already great but they sound 100 x more awesome live..

    PDA was a musical and visual masterpiece. Sam Fogarino did a kick ass punk intro on the drums that gradually slowed down and shifted to the songs beat. They played Say Hello To The Angels twice as fast as on the album which just made it really fun. They played the best songs of the new album, Success, Memory serves, Summer well, Lights, and Barricade . Heinrich Maneuver, Rest My Chemistry, Lighthouse, Wrecking Ball, and Who Do You Think? from Our Love To Admire. Length Of Love, Evil, And Slow Hands from Antics, and Obstacle 1, Obstacle 2, Hands Away and The New from Turn On the Bright Lights.

    In addition to those, the most Epic 3 songs they played during the entire set had to be; Stella Was A Diver And She Was Always Down, NYC, and Not Even Jail, which was the last song they played. Some random hot chick actually managed to sneak up stage during Not Even Jail, give Paul Banks a quick hug while he continued to sing and the band continued to play, then ran off while security chased after her. It was awesome! 2 hours sure went by fast. I can’t believe I waited ten years to see these guys live. Totally worth the 4 hours of sleep I got.
