[QUOTE=Cocaine;16473804]DEP can't. Look at the line-up changes. Look at the injuries. Brian Benoit is going to be lucky to ever pick up a guitar with all the damage he's done to his arm.[/QUOTE]


I was reading an article in Guitar World about DEP and their new guitarist about a year ago. It said that the dude had to get health insurance before they let him tour with the band.

Oh really? Well that would be a good idea.

Their new guitarist is terrible, him hurting himself is a blessing in disguise.

I didn't think the new guy hurt himself. Unless I'm not understanding you. It would be a blessing in disguise if it happened.

Weinman is the one who goes the most apeshit and lucky for him he's still around.

Though wasn't Benoits injury from a car accident?

That was actually Ben Weinman who got in the car accident. Hurt his shoulder, they had to drop off Gigantour because of it. That was around the same time Benoit's nerve damage really started taking it's toll (if I'm not mistaken).

Their original bassist was paralyzed from a car accident as well.

Ah my bad, I knew someone was in a car accident. I guess Benoit just messed himself up from the live shows then. It's a shame cause he was better than Jeff.

sounds like a dysfunctional band

this music makes my butthole juice and pucker

Is it too early to speculate on the next album? -cause i wanna talk about hopes/fears about it.

What ever happened to the couple tracks for the Japanese release; only rumor?

Yeah, just a rumour.

What hopes/fears? It'll be heavier, that's probably the only thing you can assume right now. They're touring for about a year straight, I'll see what I can find out.

i already have it

and you people think ur true fans

i just hope the process to making their next album will be more like kezia instead of fortress...(it was made pure instrumental first then thought about the vocals later I assume)

Kezia was written the same way.

they just had a better concept with kezia

There wasn't really a concept to Kezia. The overarching themes on Fortress are much cooler, to be honest.

i used to like when theyd get all poppy on kezia. i dont like really like fortress.

just to me some of the vocal passages didnt really match well like it was in kezia..i mean...they could off thrown someday cool at the end of goddess bound...but meh..various other parts seems iffy to me too but its was an awesome release nonetheless

bloodmeat was just perfect

vocals on kezia are horrible

[QUOTE=Dies Irae;16501385]vocals on kezia are awesome[/QUOTE]

i agree

[I]Fortress[/I] just jerks around too much in really poopty ways. The parts are all dynamite really and as epic and poppy as ever; the flow is just really poor most of the time though.
I don't know why I find [I]Kezia[/I] so perfect Is there stuff people don't like about [I]Kezia[/I]? I think the songs just flow better on [I]Kezia[/I] (thus I'd say they have more inspiration).
[QUOTE]vocals on a calculated use of sound are horrible[/QUOTE]
Yeah

pfft. call me a teenybopper, because my favorite part of any protest the hero song is the ultra pop section in heretics and killers. the vocals being the best part.

I think there are far more poppier (and greater) moments on Kez

yeah, turn soonest to the sea has some cool vocals arrangements.

rocked out to ACUoS in the car today. I still play the original pressing because I ****ing hate Soft Targets wedged randomly in the middle of the tracklisting. It's still their best album to rock out to.

i also have the original pressing, and what makes me feel really elite is that i bought it well before they even started recording kezia

Fortress and Kezia have their pluses but I like the progression they made on Fortress.

Their third album will be a plunge into further obscurity. But still greatness.

\m/

I like the black colour scheme though. My original pressing barely works anymore. I need to get my record player hooked up so I can be ultra-elite and play Search for the Truth.

This might be the most over-rated album on this entire site. I'm giving these samples another run-through right now because of its apparent popularity here at Sputnik, but this thing just oozes of nasty commercialism. This material definitely gives the Dragonforce albums a run for their money in the cheese department. [B]I'd challenge anybody here to put this album against Brainstorm's Downburst[/B]. It's easy to pit one against the other because both are accessible, aggressive, fast-tempo and melodic Metal bands with Prog-Metal leanings. The difference with Brainstorm is that their melody lines are done with class and you can actually remember them when the album is done. Anyone out there who has both of these recordings? No doubt that this most recent Brainstorm recording should be much more popular than the very Nu-metal PTH. Yeah, I said it. What of it? Go check out the single-type tracks 'Fire Walk With Me' and 'How Do You Feel' on Downburst and tell me that it doesn't bury the PTH. And, I'm not even that crazy about Brainstorm, it's just that bands like that should be much more popular than they are.

lol

I'm hearing 'Bone Marrow' again and it feels me with the urge to touch other guys. I've never had music have this kinda affect on my libido. There should be a disclaimer on the CD case that says that the music inside might give you tender feelings towards other men.

yeah it's the band's fault you like dudes

wtf :confused:

pretty sure he just outed himself

it's not protest's fault you have no musical memory

so many of their songs stick in my head it's not funny

especially on kezia

"A sin i didnt care for was a sin that paid my debts
a sin that fed my children
that burned my smiles and cigarettes"

gets me every time

Okay. If it wasn't for the vocals I'd like this band. I know they're trying to be different, and I respect that, but it irks me and seems lame.

he isn't trying to be different

Well w/e, I don't like his vocal style.
