| Ikarus14 Haha! I wish I was that patient. :p Should we bump into each other again pints are on me.
|
| Ikarus14 In the same crowd at G n' R and totally unaware. Talk about coincidence xD
|
| Tunaboy45 Nice one! First direct in Leeds for me, should be a great night.
|
| xxm You are awesome. Just thought I should tell you that.
|
| BigHans I think you would dig the album I reviewed today dude.
|
| Snowdog808 Nice to see you back on Conor, and that you still love early Camel a lot.
|
| Tunaboy45 Awesome, I just think it's really good that he's trying something different.
|
| Tunaboy45 Good to see you enjoyed The Pale Emperor!
|
| OmairSh You utter so much trutheth, ho shagging is nearly as important as d*ck hardening in life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54dJz_ynMcs
|
| OmairSh Ho shagging = life. I'm glad a professor and teacher such as yourself preaches that
|
| OmairSh let's go shag some ho's [2]
|
| ScuroFantasma Understandable, I still haven't finished the series to be honest, it's a long one.
|
| ScuroFantasma nice avatar, love that anime and she's one of my favourite characters from it.
|
| Snowdog808 I'm SO glad you love Tarkus a lot like I do.
|
| scottpilgrim10 Understandable their lyrics a lot of the time are pretty juvenile.
|
| scottpilgrim10 ah man I hope I never stop caring about blink like I did about Green Day. If you ever feel like revisiting a blink album revisit Dude Ranch (since you seem to not like selftitled) also DR has aged very well.
|
| scottpilgrim10 what went wrong? (i hope you get the pun) But seriously which one is your favorite then?
|
| eddie95 Lovely taste, but I see you haven't rated any Zappa, how come?
|
| OmairSh Cool, so....... you like children.... haha :P. Is it fun?
|
| OmairSh Hey what subject do you teach?
|
| Metalstyles I can understand that. I'm actually pondering on becoming a backpacker for a year, maybe after the summer or next year. It all hinges on whether we can get our little group together, though, because I prefer traveling with a (small) group, and at the moment there's plenty of uncertainty. I have the craving to see the world, so I'm sure I'll embark on such a trip sooner or later.
|
| Metalstyles Now that you mention it, I do remember you talking about going to Dubai. How was the whole experience?
|
| Metalstyles Thanks Conor, yeah, I got an exclusive standalone promotion out of the blue in Q1 of 2013. Definitely glad to get it. How you been man, haven't heard from you in ages?
|
| mandan Have you put out anything on Soundcloud?
|
| mandan I've only listened to "Billion Dollar Babies", so it would be nice to listen to some of his other stuff. BTW, are you a musician?
|
| mandan Which Alice Cooper album(s) have you enjoyed most?
|
| Metalstyles Anyway, glad to hear you're doing well, man. Also, do go ahead and write a review, it has literally been years since I last read a Conor review on this site haha.
|
| Metalstyles In any case, summer is nearing and I'm hoping that it will bring some good times and also rejuvenates the fun factor that has been a little dry for me as of late - it seems like everyone crawl out of their caves when summertime comes and the gang usually gets back together at least for that time of the year. But yeah, all in all, not doing too bad, I'm doing well in my studies and have also been working at deconstruction sites when I have extra free time.
|
| Metalstyles I'm doing okay, things have slowed down a lot for me during the last year or so which is a little disappointing since I think of myself as a rather energetic and hands-on person. Been living (and am living) through the growing up phase of life haha, not happy with all the changes that have taken place (some key friends disappearing; me becoming much more introverted) but it is what it is and the best thing I (and anyone) can do is keep a positive mindset.
|
| Metalstyles Hey man, saw you pop up for a sec today, feels like I haven't seen your name around here in forever. How have you been doing and what's new?
|
| mandan Thanks man, appreciate it.
|
| mandan http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/47801/Anthrax-Spreading-the-Disease/Hoped you could have a say on this other review.
|
| mandan http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?reviewid=48188
|
| mandan Well, I heard City by SYL. It's a nice album, but I can't say I'm bonkers for it. Depends a lot on personal taste I guess.
|
| mandan BTW, I'm no big fan of Guns N' Roses, I find them to be one of the most overrated bands ever. No offense.
|
| mandan We seem to have similar tastes. I haven't gotten into Carcass though, they're kind of a tough nut to crack.
|
| Tyrael Awesome! I really enjoy your work so I'm definitely looking forward to those
|
| Tyrael Conor! Ever planning on reviewing again? :]
|
| KILL yea dude my approval dropped from 96 to 83 thats how much i rule m/
|
| BigHans Dude, get that Rival Sons album I reviewed yesterday. You would love it.
|
| Nagrarok Here's a late congrats, was just spinning some of that wonderful Irish Tour '74 when I noticed the list; to think that you've got almost four years on me! Also reminded me I still need to hear that Thin Lizzy album, heard it was good but didn't know it was that good.
|
| BodomThrashMachine Bleach. Used to like it. Guess it's still a good manga series up to a point where it gets ridiculous.
|
| Ire bleach love
|
| random Whoa, that is epic! I need to make a Sputnik inside joke saying "Rukia ain't nothing to screw with".
|
| Tyrael So, are you planning on releasing a new review any time soon? I'd hate it to see such obvious talent go to waste.
|
| random Oh, OK. Thanks for replying. Sort of figured she was from Bleach. Also, judging by the way she's holding that knife, I guess I should not screw with her.
|
| random Who's that animated girl in your forum picture?
|
| Polymath Haha funny you mention that because I actually live in Dublin and I've never heard of them but I will definitely check them out ASAP. Thanks bro, cheers!
|
| Polymath Yeah sure man give me like 2 recs and I'll be happy, alt rock preferably for the moment.
|
| Polymath Sup Con, just thought I'd say hi. Need someone to talk to.
|
| Dethtrasher I think that I remember you LepreCon... Anyway, I wish that some of my old pal's was still here. Suddenly everyone was focusing at the grammar instead of the overall message that I had in my reviews. I wish you good luck in this sorrowful future.
|
| Tyrael Hello fellow bleach fan! I was wondering how you liked the new manga arc (if you have read it), because it bothers me a little. Cheers!
|
| Nagrarok So you should give it a solid 4! (I figured because I know how lazy you are with uploading albums, etc., I'd do you a solid with Gallagher).
|
| Nagrarok How does Live in Europe compare to Irish Tour? I hear it is just as good, if not better.
|
| Nagrarok I think I've given up hope for a certain review you were to write.
|
| WhiteNoise Thanks man. I haven't really been around often, and the new account was just to get rid of the tools and let me cruise the site peacefully haha.
|
| Nagrarok I thought as much. But PLEASE find it for this one review. PLEASE?
|
| Nagrarok Well, I'm having a pretty busy period with university too, but you're not telling me you can't squeeze out an hour or less to write a review. But yes, it would probably be wise never to promise to review something again.
|
| Nagrarok Seriously, is your review for Gallagher that much work?
|
| JamieTwort I notice your digging Relentless Retribution, that album f**kin owns!
|
| Nagrarok I'm beginning to wonder now: do you still have to write the whole thing or do you just have to round it off?
|
| Nagrarok As for the other part of my question: is the Gallagher review coming up? Tomorrow I don't have any more Doors reviews to post, so that would be perfect XD
|
| Nagrarok Really Conor, you've been all the places a music lover would like to be.
|
| Nagrarok I guess you missed my one-but-last comment on the L.A. Woman review. Also, if you seriously met Dolores 9 times, how the hell did you do that?
|
| SylentEcho Speaking of which:http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/4599/81704609.jpg
|
| Nagrarok Oh, you've been putting it off for forever, I can wait a little longer. Expect to see my review for The Soft Parade after Waiting for the Sun gets bumped off the front page.
|
| Nagrarok Well, I'll be happy to inform you that Strange Days is coming up very soon indeed, namely as soon as my Doors review of yesterday is off the front page.
|
| Nagrarok Haha, you keep promising me this review, and now I don't quite know what you meant by 'soon'.
|
| TRMshadow Just ask me if you want some recs for a certain genre (comedy/romance/mystery/mature(not as in XXX mature, but as in violence/deep plot line/confusing mature)
|
| TRMshadow Nice my buddy Joe got me into naruto and that started the avalanche. When I started I skipped over a bunch of the good stuff so I'm just now getting back to them. Just yesterday I started reading one Piece, 'bout a vol. in. All I can say is manga isn't what it used to be. More and more often I just see complete crap coming out and it makes me yearn for the good 'ol days.
|
| TRMshadow Let's just agree that Bleach isn't the best series. What are some other anime/manga you watch/read?
|
| TRMshadow oh yeah, total fan-service. But at least her character has some emotion worked in. Rukia (imo) was just a possible female companion for Ichigo in the first arc but was completely forgotten as soon as the next arc started.
|
| TRMshadow Just 'cause she has a rack and Rukia doesn't she is fan-service?
|
| TRMshadow I understand what you mean. and I wouldn't say I'm a fan, but I don't hate the series. I'm just saying that Orihime is a lot more likable than her.
|
| Nagrarok I guess the Gallagher review is taking a bit longer than expected?
|
| Nagrarok Haha, I still find you're dishing out those 5's waaaaay too easily, for me there has to be something really special about an album to lift it beyond that 4.5.
|
| random Have you heard of Kerbdog? They're like metal from Ireland.
|
| BigHans BOOM. http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=56487
|
| Nagrarok Sooooo... when's that review coming up?
|
| BigHans Inveigh is about to drop the manliest list ever, and you'll be on it.
|
| BigHans Im seeing Clutch live tomorrow. Listen to Blast Tyrant, Robot Hive/Exodus, and Beale Street first, those are the best.
|
| Nagrarok Oh yes. I'm putting off buying it till I'm convinced enough anyway.
|
| Nagrarok Forgot to mention how much win the description of Last in Line on the Manly Albums 2 list was. But why didn't you pick Holy Diver?
|
| BigHans Dude I know you are about to immerse yourself in the world of CLutch, but you also need to check out Volbeat too. MANLY.
|
| BigHans Yeah the early stuff isnt as much RAWK, but there are gems to be found on each record.
|
| BigHans yesssssssss. Im guessing you suddenly have more chest hair. The other best albums are Robot Hive/Exodus and From Beale Street to Oblivion imo. My favorite song by them, "Electric Worry," is on Beale Street.
|
| BigHans You ordered the entire discog? You must have liked the You Tube clips.
|
| BigHans and this isnt on that same album, but holy s*** its manly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eepsCXpLY4
|
| BigHans a taste of the manliness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1oSK-4e6Vo
|
| BigHans Album rules Big Time hard. Its not totally metal, its kind of blusey stoner hard rock/metal. But the vocalist is very manly. And so are the riffs.
|
| BigHans Have you ever heard Clutch - Blast Tyrant? Its right up your alley, get it now if you dont have it.
|
| Nagrarok Well, if comes anywhere near MIJ it must be pretty damn good (which is probably also my favourite live album). I shall impatiently be awaiting your review.
|
| Nagrarok I'd be interested in you doing Irish Tour '74 in the near future. It has a very good reputation in Holland but I'm not entirely convinced yet.
|
| Nagrarok As an Irishman, I think you ought to review Rory Gallagher. I've heard the man knew how to play the guitah.
|
| Nagrarok Of course we are neigbours, we're part of an endangered species after all: the classic rock nut.
|
| BigHans Know a really manly song? C.O.C.'s "Wiseblood"
|
| theBlackWidow There's like no respect for him on here...it's pathetic.
|
| theBlackWidow I'm doing Brutal Planet right now....even though it's on the page, there is no review. It's one of my favorite albums by him so I wanted to review it.
|
| theBlackWidow Hey there, I'm a huge Alice Cooper fan and saw you're a fan yourself lol so I wanted to say "hey"
|
| Nagrarok Oh look now, I've rated AC/DC's If You Want Blood... HIGER than you.
|
| Prolapse Oh right, i'm from longford haha
|
| Prolapse So i hear you are from ireland eh?
|
| Nagrarok Just wait or forbidden, then you can finally say how you agree with the rating for once.
|
| Nagrarok I do not spot any Elf or Dio reviews yet, my friend. Also, I may review the new Accept album when it comes out. It will probably not be very good and I'm looking forward to writing something negative again.
|
| Nagrarok In short: my advice is to save yourself reviewing-overdrive misery and just do Elf and Dio, since they haven't got the reviews they need.
|
| Nagrarok Haha, you know my reviewing habits by now and predicted my thoughts! I already had considered doing a Dio (the band) discography after Holy Diver, but figured I would run out of things to write since their material is extremely similar, so I called that off. Doing Elf would be definitely interesting, and Dio has got only a few of their albums covered. Trust me: you don't want to do Elf, Rainbow, Sabbath and Dio (and I'm not saying that because I've done Rainbow and Sabbath).
|
| Nagrarok I guess the fanatic reviewing and dito album/band editing has paid off. I'm rather proud to be Sputnik's #9 user. Cheers man.
|
| maidenpmcc It's not the 1st time that happened like I said before. I posted stuff before like the track listing of the new As I Lay Dying album coming out and it got d. Where is Sputnik based, America? Oh and before the news article got d I asked where you where from originally?
|
| maidenpmcc Yo my news article about Iron Maiden playing in Dublin got d, that's not the 1st time that has happened. Why did it get d?
|
| Willie I went ahead and cleared the troll vote? it's the least I could do ;)
|
| Gyromania The chick in your avatar is so, so ****ing hot
|
| Nagrarok Very nice, although I'd rather you comment in the review ;)
|
| keyserfunk Awesome news about Ellefson coming back to Megadeth, I'm sure you will agree. This tour will be even more ****ing amazing now. ://www.sputnikmusic.com/news.php?newsid=12659
|
| keyserfunk We can agree to disagree about Endgame. I am psyched that I got tix to Megadeth's upcoming show with Testament and Exodus, especially b/c their set is the entire Rust in Peace album. Sick.
|
| Romulus I totally see where you're coming from. I always believed that as good as Dirt and Jar of Flies were, and man they are really really good, Alice in Chains never truly reached perfection until the Unplugged. I don't know if I can 5 another Alice album cause they all fall a bit short compared to that for me. That said, it's still fantastic.
|
| Romulus Bumping Black Gives Way to Blue to a 5 was pretty much the most badass thing ever
|
| BigHans Good to see someone else thinks Toys in the Attic rules. Must be why your my musical neighbor. I remember getting that on tape in the early 90's and damn near wearing it out.
|
| Nagrarok Not just that. The vocals are so goddamn awful.
|
| Nagrarok Thanks, people tend to be so lazy when it comes to bumping soundoffs. I really can't understand how anyone could enjoy that album.
|
| Nagrarok No, I've only heard Cowboys from Hell and plan to listen to VDOP sometime, but I won't be interested in anything else probably.
|
| Nagrarok That Pantera soundoff was so bad I bumped it.
|
| Nagrarok The Miley Cyrus thing is only funny when you don't put other bands next to her.

| KILL sup, ok um decapitated - winds of creation, cynic - focus, atheist - unquestionable presence, edge of sanity - crimson and purgatory afterglow, obituary - cause of death, sadus - illusions, strapping young lad - city, devin townsend - ocean machine, portal - demo (cynic guys its not metal but omfg its good), exhorder - slaughter in the vatican, demolition hammer - epidemic of violence, heathen - victims of deception, off top of my head you've prob heard loads if so i'll rec more if u want
|
| Progmaster85 heloguy with awespme taste in music. What you been diggin?
|
| keyserfunk Fair enough. I just think it misses the mark, much like United Abominations. I long for the good old days...=(
|
| Nagrarok Yeah, and most that are reviewed are pretty average tbt's if I remember correctly.
|
| Nagrarok Nothing I can think of at the moment, but if I do I'll come back to you. I first wasn't going to do Sabbath, btw, but apart from their first three or four and H
|
| Nagrarok That's what I try to do with lengthier discogs too these days. If it's about 10 or more, it gets too tiring to do in one go. Currently working on Sabbath's first 8, of which I will post the first one only when I'm happy with the entire set.
|
| Nagrarok You still doing those Cooper reviews sometime or whut?
|
| Nagrarok The same to you, of course. Now that you mention it, good to see that approval rating returned. One of my early reviews got negged, but it seems to have been unnegged now.
|
| random Is Fair Warning at 7.99 a good deal? I was thinking about buying it.
|
| keyserfunk Greetings. Are you on the Endgame bandwagon? I think it is overhyped let down...Too bad...
|
| ProdigalSon16 Jethro Tull? Thick as a Brick, greatest 40 minute song ever
|
| Nagrarok I'M ON THE HIIIIIIGHWAAAAAY TO HEEELLL! Bumped that soundoff, best one in the list.
|
| Nagrarok I don't know I did it. I really don't. Now let's see if I can keep it up till I hit 100.
|
| Nagrarok One glance at that fav bands list is enough to see your superb music taste.
|
| Progmaster85 k thanks. I'll get the Lamb lies down... any specific Jethro Tull album I should get?
|
| Progmaster85 Hey, how's it going? Things are kinda dull for me right now musically... any recommendations based on my tastes? Lookin for some good classic rock I haven't heard yet or some prog. Help me out?
|
| KTV lol for me i didn't really like jane doe so i'm going through their discography seeing which ones i like
|
| KTV why did you listen to every converge record when you know you weren't going to like them?
|
| Progmaster85 thanks man.... cause I was confused on why on this site just because a band is popular doesn't mean they are bad. Thanks for clearing that up for me
|
| Progmaster85 You commented on something of mine, so obviously you must know what your talking about, so maybe you can answer this: Why does everyone on this site think Megadeth is better than Metallica? Because Megadeth is great but not as great as Metallica. Maybe you can help me out?
|
| NebSnurb Ahh I see, Ive never been over to that part of the world so obviously I'm not aware
|
| NebSnurb Surprisingly, it's right up there Dirt and the self-titled.
|
| NebSnurb Listen to Black Gives Way to Blue without any pretense, its good. And it would be, with or without Layne.
|
| handoman why arent we neighbors our music tastes are so similar
|
| Romulus That's admirable (and a pretty sweet deal). And the album's pretty good... you just don't know how many times I stopped and thought "man that would sound so much better with Layne singing."
|
| Romulus So I'm listening to Black Gives Way to Blue right now... and I'm gonna be honest with you, the first four tracks have not impressed me. I'm not sure if its hat-eating-worthy, just a little bit disappointing.
|
| KILL musical neighbour ay?
|
| KVogel aight i made a new account
|
| KTV i think i got IP banned lol
|
| KILL hell yea it is, nice sound off man
|
| EVedder27 Yeah I agree with Genesis...I'm not a big fan of Phil Collins as a vocalist and I've heard the Peter Gabriel Genesis is much better.
|
| EVedder27 yo, just wanted to thank you for the yes/genesis recs. I listened to "Closer to the Edge" and "Nursery Crymes" and they both kick ass.
|
| Douchebag Yup, I do remember your old account.
|
| Douchebag Looking at your ratings you have some damn fine taste in music dude.
|
| KTV why did you change profiles?
|
|
