[QUOTE=Sponer;15928858]PTH + DEP would be a sweet show. Even though DEP's new album sucks.[/QUOTE]

Yes that would be a good show, but Ire Works is still a good album, maybe not by DEP standards but its still better than most of whats out there.

Yea I was just comparing it to their old stuff. But when I saw them a month or two ago, they only played two new songs so it was pretty sweet.

[QUOTE=Cocaine;15928851]It wasn't a festival.[/QUOTE]

i know, but when you get alot of 'big' bands like that together, it might as well be. they're basically the same prices as ozzfest and stuff

and sounds was really cool because of that, they all had thier own prices, very smart idea if ozzfest can catch on...

That's cool. Its too bad there aren't many original members left, if any. I think maybe the bassist and one guitarist? Enlighten me please!

just got back from FYE with Fortress in hand. im giving it a listen right now for the first time. damn its good. im predicting a 4.5 or a 5. absolutely love this band

I really like them as well. Its almost exactly what I would want in a band that I would play in. I wish the melodic vocals were catchier though.

I'd say it's pretty ****ing catchy dude...

I'll have to listen to Fortress more but Kezia I felt was a lot of the same spazzy but very powerful belted out melodic vocals.

[QUOTE=Dimmu Burger;15928875]That's cool. Its too bad there aren't many original members left, if any. I think maybe the bassist and one guitarist? Enlighten me please![/QUOTE]

I think the one guitarist is the only original member actually. The bassist came like two years after they started.

Back to PTH, after about 10 listens I can quite safely say I like Fortress much better than Kezia.

Listening to Fortress now. I can say I like the first track better than any of Kezia, and yes I do like Kezia.

And as far as this song goes the vocals are very catchy, my bad.

Anyone listen to the instrumental version? I think I might check it out, cause at times the vocals do really steal the attention from the instruments, so it might be cool to listen (even though I do really like the vocals on Fortress).

I might download it, its on the new DU Alternative.

ive been meaning to listen to it.

The begining of Sequoia Throne is ownage.

Someone want to pass me a link on AIM or something? CokeMUNRO

Oh snap I just hit the Dragonforce keyboard solo!

yeah it kinda came outta left field, i was suprised when i heard it

[QUOTE=bunit9488;15929093]yeah it kinda came outta left field, i was suprised when i heard it[/QUOTE]

I like it, its all in good fun, just like Dragonforce themselves.

Ok Fortress has much more varied melodies and catcher melodic vocals than Kezia for sure.

[QUOTE=Cocaine;15929009]Someone want to pass me a link on AIM or something? CokeMUNRO[/QUOTE]

Anyone? (Not the EP either, the full instrumental album)

[QUOTE=Cocaine;15929276]Anyone? (Not the EP either, the full instrumental album)[/QUOTE]

I didn't know they had a full instrumental of the album available.

Yup

[QUOTE=Cocaine;15929328]Yup[/QUOTE]

I'll have to get that once we find somebody who has it.

The instrumental album is interesting but i mostly find my self thinking about the lyrics and vocal melodies during the songs anyway. It highlights a lot of short guitar leads that get lost in the whole album. The volume of the bass guitar is slightly lower than that of the drums--it is more audible without Rody's vocals throwing it further into the background. More standout than the new guitar leads that i couldn't hear before, is the amount of polish on post production; little electronic synth keys, strings or extra brass, slight choir layering all adds to a highly refined product.

Link please?

He probably bought it on iTunes.

thats where i found it, its very interesting to listen to
especially with no vocals you really get to hear how good the other musicians are (not that you would need an instrumental version of the album to tell you how good they are.)

PTH should play Bamboozle this year. They'd be one out of three bands there that I would want to go see. I'm sure they have enough **** that the scene kiddies would like too.

E-Friend said he saw them yesterday, he said rody tried to pull a Sam Totman but failed miserably....

basically said it was a bad performance on his part

Word; itunes. For the price of a couple beers at a pub it seemed worth it, even though down the road it'll probably just seem like a novelty album.




Saskatchewan seems like a good place to write off a show more than anywhere though.

It's been like -30 in Sask, you have to be drunk to stay warm!

I've got the full instrumental version now if anyone still wants it. I don't have AIM or MSN or any of those. I can do email?

It's pretty cool.

lintmunro @ hotmail.com please and thanks!

sent

thanks sugar muffin

My friend just asked me if I wanna go see Silverstein and I'm like sh[I]i[/I]t no and then I read that Protest The Hero is playing and now i'm trying to scrape up 17 bucks, lol.

You should go.

This is weeeird, I keep waiting for the vocals to come in, hah.

Can someone mail me the link?

Thanks!

I just heard a lead in Bone Marrow that definitely wasn't in the regular version

I don't know if I would even listen to it if I had it. Those damn vocal melodies and hooks are more than half the reasons I listen to the album. Due to Rody's improvement, I don't like passing it up.

I totally agree, but you hear a lot of what you wouldnt normally hear because the vocals are just another layer.

Like, I noticed a lot more in the drums and bass especially.
