Live in Canada rules, it got my dad into Rhapsody :D

Anyone ever listen to Rage? And no, I certainly don't mean Rage Against the Machine... I just picked up Soundchaser(2003) and it kicks serious ***. Since it's like their 17th album, i was wondering if their older stuff is similar or if they have evolved since I know the lineup changed a lot....

Riva 04-25-2006 08:19 PM

To be honest, I've never heard of them. I'll have a look.

Apocalyptic Raids 04-25-2006 08:23 PM

I've heard of them. I think they're one of those old-school German PM bands.

Riva 04-25-2006 08:40 PM

Nothing better than Old-School German Power Metal.

Apocalyptic Raids 04-25-2006 08:46 PM

Damn right \m/

Running Wild ftw

[size=1]even though I think they seem closer to speed metal >_>[/size]

Weird, I clicked on this thread planning on posting that.

But I think it's safe to say...
Rock N Rolf ftw

Yeh man, I've been a Rage fan for a while. I only own [I]Trapped![/I] (1992), [I]Black In Mind[/I](1995), and [I]Unity[/I] (2002). [I]Trapped![/I] and [I]Unity[/I] are both brilliant albums, though [I]Black In Mind[/I]lacks powerful tracks a lot IMO. Only the title track is really kick a[B]s[/B]s.

My brother's friend has their entire discography, so I'm looking forward to eventually getting my hands on it :)

Riva 04-25-2006 09:12 PM

Well, a lot of power metal bands are basically speed metal with higher vocals and fantasy lyrics. Running Wild are still power metal ftw. :mad:

Apocalyptic Raids 04-25-2006 09:23 PM

speed metal ftw :mad:

Mother 04-26-2006 10:41 AM

So i just Got Hibria's - Defying the rules ... Not bad.

What do you guys think of them??

Trev 04-26-2006 10:56 AM

That album is absolutely amazing, I bought it a while back. It's [I]really[/I] good.

Riva 04-26-2006 04:56 PM

Yeah, pretty damn good. They're speed metal though.

Shattered_Future 04-26-2006 05:48 PM

I have it, but haven't listened to it yet...

Apocalyptic Raids 04-26-2006 07:37 PM

Hibria are fantastic, and yeah they're Speed Metal.

Yeh. Rage's albums are very difficult to find. I've only ever seen "Unity" and "Soundchaser" in stores. I had to order "Trapped!", and I was amazed to find "Black In Mind" at a thrift store for 2 bucks :eek:

It was the first time I've really ever been into a thrift store, and finding that album amazed me...

Stormrider 04-27-2006 01:05 PM

Whats a thrift store ?

CaptainWaits 04-27-2006 01:21 PM

[QUOTE=Stormrider331]Whats a thrift store ?[/QUOTE]
It's just a store where items are extremely cheap....like CD's are about $2-3. All of the items are given there for free, and then the store sells them for extremely cheap. It's like the Salvation Army. The majority of the customers are those who are less fortunate...I was there because I heard they had some original NES games in stock (:p ), so I thought I'd check the place out real quick...

Stormrider 04-27-2006 01:31 PM

Like a pawn shop then ? Well sort of..

I don't think I would ever buy a used CD.

CaptainWaits 04-27-2006 01:34 PM

[QUOTE=Stormrider331]Like a pawn shop then ? Well sort of..

Basically yeh, just they're meant for different causes, though I generally use them for the same...

I've bought a number of used CD's. If I find a used CD I like, then no question I'll buy it. The Demons & Wizards S/T I found at a Pawn Shop in near mint condition for $4.....

So Storm, you're telling me you wouldn't buy a CD in a situation like that :p

Stormrider 04-27-2006 01:42 PM

:p heh. I don't like the idea of buying a cd that soemone else has listen too/open the cover before me.

I'm weird like that, yes :p

ESpecially Demons and Wizards cd. I would never buy a used one from them :p

Shattered_Future 04-27-2006 02:45 PM

I'll buy used CDs of bands I don't really care about...only one we have around here is EB Games though. And they have nothing.

CaptainWaits 04-27-2006 03:05 PM

EB games sells CD's in your area?? hmmm....here it's basically soley games, software, and DVD's.

NP: Amorphis - Tales From the Thousand Lakes (entire album)

Stormrider 04-27-2006 04:25 PM

Hmm, I thought it was only games and stuff like that. I never saw cd's there...
