You pulled out an example of lyrics from someone who was famous for lyrical talent and a band that doesn't give a shit about their lyrics - yeah, that's a fair comparison. Turn the tables and you get Metallica invoking the pure horror of war in One, or Tool's metaphorically steeped Aenema, versus...

My favourite guitarist of all time is a black dude called Tosin Abasi. If he'd been forced to listen to rap to fit to some stupid stereotype we never would have got the awesomeness that is Animals as leaders. It bothers me that certain groups must feel a lot of pressure to conform to certain expe...

Meh. All those metal bands are good, but there's no point avoiding bands just because they 'aren't metal.' Boring deathcore bands can fuck themselves, but that aside there's no reason why you can't listen to Gojira, Meshuggah, Nile, Atheist as well as Slipknot, Avenged, Bizkit and the like. I do....

Anal fisting is the metaphor. What the song is actually about it something else... just like if I use a metaphor to compare you to an elephant, I'm talking about you, not an actual elephant.

Would it be possible to combine a human model and say... a horse? I want to make centaurs.

but if anything 'c u 2moz' is being more creative with the language than 'see you tomorrow' just by virtue of not being the norm. Creativity is all well and good if you're writing a poem or a book but the argument for it really falls flat when you're talking about langauge used for that level of ...

Logic is believing in things that we can prove beyond reasonable doubt and not basing our beliefs on outdated traditions and superstitions. Assuming that there is a reason for our existence is egotism. We have no more purpose as a species than flies: we're a cosmic accident and our little planet...

pretty sure they're just colours bro...

Navarrete composed it, the actual musicians would have been hired.

All of your covers are gorgeous buuut... can you play anything by Animals as Leaders?

I challenge you!

Awesome. Sounds quite a lot like pokemon boss battle music on a keyboard though.

Damn. That riff around 4:00 is addictive :| don't do drugs kids, just listen to Mastodon and Gojira and Tool. Fucks with your brain just as much, no side effects apart from neck-ache.

Gojira supporting Tool tour? They've both got albums coming out this year. That would be sweet.

I did the same thing, couldn't get time off work so I gave my ticket to a mate. Who brought me back a drumstick signed by Tomas Haake to say thanks :D

Yeah but you can at least expect someone who's been playing for over 30 years to be some good. You're right in saying that music isn't just about speed, its about communicating a feeling or idea or just making people want to move around. But he can't do any of that, either.

Animals as Leaders or Meshuggah. Possibly Gojira. Check those out, they're all tighter than a nun's... purse. And have awesome drums.

Therefore you're allowed to act like an arrogant arsehole and proclaim them bad?

They're more interesting musically than any follow-the-leader core band and they're a great gateway into metal for lots people. They're popular because they managed to write songs that are memorable. They're fairly ...

Why not? That have a drummer that hasn't manage to improve, at all, in the past 20 years.

doesn't that make you a retard by your own logic?

you don't like it, so the band should disperse and ignore the opinions of all the people who do?

yeah... he's slapping using the ends of each finger rather than his thumb. Tis still slap.

well based on what I've heard 20stm have a fairly emo sound. Bvb don't have a very emo sound, they're just boring and dress up like angst filled dickheads to cover for the complete lack of creativity in their songs...

I'd call The Way of All Flesh heaviest. Just 'cos of Art of Dying. That song can punch you in the face. With bass drums. Through your speakers.

who's the right organisation then?

Lars is pretty terrible though really. Especially considering how long he's been playing...

The drummer from Animals as Leaders will probably be gettin nominated for best drummer ever in a few years, once they're a bit more popular. He's incredible.

Yeaah... I had noticed. But he talks french in the video when he's introducing the song. -.-

Wow. Absolutely gorgeous...

The music's nice too :L

Learning to play this on bass guitar (tapping) :D will post a vid when(if) I figure it out. Such a good soundtrack.

and they have better English too...

Take two letters off her name: Icki Minj

nothing wrong with a bit of ye olde harde core :L

Be enemies with me instead! You flaccid mammoth wang! (:
