I enjoy Hammerfall every now and again. They've made some great power metal anthems, Hearts on Fire in particular.

Lord Abortion 09-10-2005 05:49 AM

What's everyone's take on 3 inches of blood? I really like them.

Riva 09-10-2005 06:09 AM

Not really power metal, I think, but I seriously love them. I impulse bought Advance and Vanquish and I really think it was one of my best impulse buys ever. Fear Upon The Bridge and Deadly Sinners are power metal anthems to be sung with pride before a battle.

[QUOTE=Hitroshimite]I've always found Hammerfall kinda bland, personally. They've got some nice riffs and catchy tunes, but they're just another face in the power metal crowd.[/QUOTE]

just like Iced Earth

The riffs alone put IE way above most other bands.
I don't care if you WERE joking...


Every time I listen to Rhapsody they ge better, is there a name for this?

I thought "progressive Rhapsody improvement syndrome" or "P.R.I.S" sounded good.

shadow_stalker 09-10-2005 02:04 PM

I have only listend to Rhapsody once or twice so i never got into them, but i am getting into galloglass, took me a couple of listens but they are a cool band

Oh yeah knife me and the band has to find a new place to practice

and a new drummer,which will be easier :p

J/K... don't quit :upset:

shadow_stalker 09-10-2005 02:07 PM

i wouldnt quit, it would take me 3-4 more years to find a band that would play metal

Hoooray...

I sent you an E-mail when You get your MSN back BTW.

You also play in a pop-punk band, let's not forget that.

shadow_stalker 09-10-2005 02:10 PM

i would rather you call it a pop band than put the word punk in it, havnt practiced with them since we played that show at allendale

When we go see dragonforce what do you think i should take (apart from tickets and money), 2-3 hours is a long time to be on a train :upset:

Well, your MP3 player should be small enough to be OK when you take it, especially if you have zipping pockets.

and we can buy a newspaper or something.

shadow_stalker 09-10-2005 02:15 PM

Good idea, although i dont think im smart enough to read a newspaper, i will by a kids travel book and spend 3 hours joining the dots :upset:

Oh yeah have Louie and Slim learned Hallowed be thy name?

I hope they have, Louie said they have. Louie doesn't want to play whiskey in the jar anymore... and I do realise we're having 3 different convos here. That's why MSN is a good thing.

so our setlist looks like...
the misfits-dig up her bones
iced earth-Burning times
iron maiden-the trooper
iron maiden- hallowed be thy name
CC- stripped, raped and strangled.
Cannibal corpse version of Metallica's No remorse
He suggested a mayhem track, we might think of Deathcrush or funeral fog.
then The Abyss (orig)
and the gunslinger (orig)
and another untitled original I'm working on

shadow_stalker 09-10-2005 02:29 PM

I dont want to do Bells, militia ran that into the ground, why not whiskey?

Why do power metal bands have to use keyboards so much? it makes it so hard to play their songs


What about dig up her bones by misfits?

Lord Abortion 09-10-2005 02:31 PM

/adds dig up her bones

ask louie about Whiskey, I think if he wants to do a 'tallica song, we should do no remorse, it's awesome.

(the cover that is)

shadow_stalker 09-10-2005 02:34 PM

Could i borrow Silence and eliptica from you ollie, i will bring Takatalvi on monday (if i can remember it)

Lord Abortion 09-10-2005 02:38 PM

Sure, I'll lend you the two albums.

shadow_stalker 09-10-2005 02:39 PM

Thanks man...what link?

im gonna get the ablums anyway but that will be awhile yet, there are more toms to be added to my drumkit before then

Huber 09-11-2005 10:15 PM

The council's verdict on newer Helloween?

I myself love it.

Lord Abortion 09-12-2005 04:40 AM

So...we are gathered here today to mourn the loss of a brilliant band, the wonderful Dungeon, and to celebrate the new dawn of PM that Tim's new work as Lord, will bring us.

You know, Tim offered me the keyboard part in his new band, but I had to turn him down. :p

Anyone know anything about Stu's new project? LT seems pretty enthusiastic (sp?) about it.

I was seriously tempted, haha. But then I'd be leaving Uni and work, and though that might sound good, I'd also be leaving my girlfriend behind.

Dude, take the sex - only the industry ****s you when you get to the place that we are now! :P HAHA!

[QUOTE=G_Mac07]Anyone know anything about Stu's new project? LT seems pretty enthusiastic (sp?) about it.[/QUOTE]

I know what it is and it's very different to Dungeon, but that's all I can say. Stu will announce it all in good time - keep an eye on the Dungeon forum, I'm sure he'll make an announcement there.

And yeah, it's pretty cool. :)

Stoic 09-12-2005 10:05 AM

you know guys...it's unbelievable [url=http://www.dungeon.cd/cgi-bin/makeframes.pl?http://www.dungeon.cd/photos_current.html]this[/url] guy posts here. He looks so inaccessible :p

Heheh... I like it when bands wear their influences' shirts onstage.

Like, say when George fisher wears a Misfits shirt onstage with cannibal corpse, or err...me wearing my maiden shirts... :p

Stoic 09-12-2005 03:50 PM

I'm listening to a song by Luca Turilli's project on a web radio and I must say it's impressive!

Arucard 09-12-2005 03:56 PM

Right, so i'm now in the year 12 at College, and a load of kids who moved up into year 10 are well into Nightwish, so they come talk to me because i was wearing a Maiden shirt, and their all like 'So you like Power Metal?' And i'm like 'Not really Nightwish PM...' And these kids are all like 'OmGZZZ NightTWIShs TIUS TEH BEssTt Man!!!'

I then walked swiftly away.

Gah. Nightwish fanboys irritate me.

VeedBok 09-12-2005 04:00 PM

[QUOTE=Stoic]I'm listening to a song by Luca Turilli's project on a web radio and I must say it's impressive![/QUOTE]

yah his solo work is amazing, which album is it off of? King of the Nordic Twilight or Prophet of the Last Eclipse???

Lord Abortion 09-12-2005 04:07 PM

Blast those Nightwish fanboys

[QUOTE=VeedBok]yah his solo work is amazing, which album is it off of? King of the Nordic Twilight or Prophet of the Last Eclipse???[/QUOTE]

The song I heard was Prophet of the Last Eclipse of the s/t album. If the rest of the album is as impressive as this then I hate myself for seeing it in a second hand CD store for 5 euros and not buying it :angry:

The surprising thing is that they keyboards didnt bother me [I]at all[/I], the opposite, I did like them! I have officially gotten used to keyboards in power metal :D

Arucard 09-12-2005 04:22 PM

I would like to hit Nightwish fanboys with a bat.

VeedBok 09-12-2005 04:29 PM

[QUOTE=Arucard]I would like to hit Nightwish fanboys with a bat.[/QUOTE]

you should if they ever hasstle you for not liking them, then hit them.

Arucard 09-12-2005 04:31 PM

I think they deserve a bat to the chest just for saying their drummer is excellent, when is clearly only just above par.

Lord Abortion 09-12-2005 04:33 PM

[QUOTE=Arucard]I would like to hit Nightwish fanboys with a bat.[/QUOTE]
I would like to hit (some) Nightwish fangirls with...something else...
