Just wanna say, Motorhead do a damn decent rendition of Enter Sandman:
Yep! Losing my tape collection definitely sucked! I had soooooooo much!!! my hubs and I luuuuuuuv getting to see our favorite bands live in concert. It’s been a long time since he and I’ve gotten to go together. I did get to go see Guns N’ Roses and Alice In Chains this year when they came to Houston so that was absolutely ridiculously fantastic. My favorite song of all time is November rain and I know how to play it on piano and getting to see Axel play it on piano was absolutely one of my Greatest moments of all time!!! I also got to go to Ozzfest to see system of a down and disturbed, dragon force, Lacuna Coil, and Hatebreed, and of course, ozzy, and black label society and that was the first time I got to see Avenged Sevenfold as well. Hubs and my first concert together was to see 30 seconds to Mars, which was pretty awesome as well even though I almost died lol. (we were in the pit and they rushed the stage causing me to lose one of my shoes ha ha ha and then later on we were about 6 to 10 people back when one of the bands said part through the middle and do a wall of death Luckily, I was able to get out of that and move areas before they killed me. but that also allowed me to get on the barrier on side stage, so I got a really good view). Another one of our big ones was the family values tour back in 2007 when we got to see Korn, hell yeah, trivium, flyleaf and my favorite, evanescence. We were also in the pit for that one, and I was on the the front barrier, so I got really good pictures of that one if I could only find them because they were on an old phone. We’ve also seen Muse (fanTAStic show!) and later, Radiohead, and did another family values tour where we got to see Korn and Avenged Sevenfold again which was another ridiculously fantastic show. Another really good one that nobody knows of is a band called fair to Midland and they’re one of my absolute favorites but they’re not together anymore and we got to see them in Austin and meet them all which was pretty awesome.Wow! It must've been awesome seeing so many concerts from so many great bands. I'm seeing some of my favorite artists in that list, too. I haven't been to any concerts, but I'd love to someday - Hopefully all the bands I like play in Montreal sometime soon, haha.
And I didn't know that little fact about Green Jelly, but it's pretty interesting. And I'm sorry to hear about you losing your tape collection, that must've sucked big-time.
Yeah! I really dig the "Frantic-tick-tick-tick-tock" line in that song in particular. Apparently St. Anger is generally disliked by the fans, but I really don't think the album is that bad. (I'll bet it's 100x better than Lulu... XD)
I'll be honest, Take A Look In The Mirror is a pretty 'meh' Korn album. Even though I prefer it over their newer stuff, I still find it a bit boring. The only real standout, in my opinion, is "Y'all Want a Single"... But who doesn't know that song?
Ha awesome!!! I got my brother, a motorhead wallet for ChristmasJust wanna say, Motorhead do a damn decent rendition of Enter Sandman:
Essayist and pop culture writer Chuck Klosterman, in his review for the website Grantland, wrote, "If the Red Hot Chili Peppers acoustically covered the 12 worst Primus songs for Starbucks, it would still be (slightly) better than this."
This was fun to look through. I don't know nearly as many bands as you, but it was a good reminder of some I'd forgotten.I was going through all the images that I have on my mobile device (in an effort to clear up space) and I found a collage of Alternative and Nu Metal band logos. How many of these are you familiar with?

I listened to these songs earlier, and I don't think there was a single one I disliked! I've heard of some bands like Godsmack and Kittie, but never listened to their music until now. I think my favorites in that list were Brackish by Kittie and Adonai by Eths (I'm always up for some French metal, hehe).@ZeldaCrossing64, here are some Alt/Nu Metal songs that I recommend (from bands featured in the aforementioned collage). They might not all be your cup of tea, but it wouldn't hurt to check them out when you have time (putting the videos in a spoiler because thread pages take longer to load when there's a whole bunch of them).
