Amph Amphitheatres' Metaltropolis (Trial Version 1.0)

Having 3,000,000 vocal tracks doesn't equal metal Hell, the only acoustic stuff I'd call metal is Impaled Northern Moonforest, plus the brief passages in Akercocke that use them.

Besides, having 'metal' and 'ballad' in the same sentence is an oxymoron

 

Not really. These days, metal music is the only one that cares for continuing the tradition of medieval minstrels and bards. Metal uses lots of motives from mithology and legends, so in a way, metal songs are epic poems and epic ballads.
Or, like my cousin says metal-baladice - little warm metal ballads.

*shriek* I can't wait to see BG live! Live Bard's Song, Skalds and Shadows or Harvest of Sorrow will SOOOO pwn!!!

 

Fangirl

Oh, and lol@Cradle for making a halfway decent album, despite sounding nothing like previous Cradle.

 

The songs I've heard, are ok, but nothing like the previous Cradle.

 

As Sarah said to me, and all the other naysayers: Bands evolve

Though, to be honest, not even Martin likes the new album. Haven't talked to James since he quit though.

But Heda, listen to Libertina Grimm or Lovesick for Mina. They sound nearly Dusk-esque in places

 

Love for Mina doesn't work. CoF fangirls cannot even burn CDs properly. *sigh*


Now I'll have to buy the damn thing. And I don't want to buy an album with Valo on it.

 

I can do filtransfers you know

I'd buy it anyway, if only because Dani has a new nickname

"Harlot Church"

Taking the piss out of a Welsh popsinger called Charlotte Church

 

Good ol' Dani may be annoying at times, but he has a good sense of humour.

 

Dani "Harlot Church" Filth - The Poison In The Font
Paul Allender - Guitarsenic And Black Lace
Charles "Molester" Hedger - The Beast With Five Fingers
David Pybus - Deep Vein Thrombassist
Adrian Erlandsson - Baton Rouge

 

Well this past firday I got to see Epica live in Det Mich for the very first time. They have taken the place as my fave metal band. I got to meet there bass player Yves in person. He's a really cool guy. Simone Well I can't say enough about her. I go to hold her hand. Not for long but still it was enough. See Mark man it was very cool.

Here's my list of top metal bands

1. Epica
2. Kamelot
3. Edenbridge
4. Ram-Zet
5. To-Mera
6. Flowing Tears
7. Dark Tranquillity
8. Lunatica
9. Children of Bodom
10. Nightwish

Note Nightwish used to be number one. But Epica has just really taken over my life. I listen to there stuff more then any other CD I have.

 

Epica are cool, Kamelot I like but don't listen to often. To-Mera rule though

Seems that you're the first major Gothic/Female Fronted Power Metal fan here though, due to Amon being mainly male-fronted power obsessed

Still, welcome!

May have to give you a title

 

Well I do have a lot of metal CD's with lead female singers lets see there's
Epica
After Forever
Nightwish
Edenbridge
To-Mera (Will get it soon)
Elis (Will get is soon)
Maigca
Visions of Atlantis
Within Temptation
Leaves Eyes
Flowing Tears
Ram-Zet
Lulla Cry
and that's just what I can list off the top of my head.

 

Try Theatre of Tragedy and The Gathering. They're pretty good female fronted bands

 

If I do then I really should take the title.

 

LMAO, site guys form cmar-net posted: http://whiplash.net/materias/infancia/040755-blindguardian.html

Didn't we all wonder what metal band members looked like when they were young?!
NOw I still wannt to see Danni-baby pic. It must be terrifying.

 

I think i actually have it in a very old Kerrang mag somewhere, but I can't be arsed to go and look for it

 

I bet he looks like those little sweet abomination-midgets from From the Cradle to Enslave video.

 

lol.

I actually got the Dominator movie the other day, in which Dani Filth plays the main character. There's an interview with him on the bonus features, and he has a skeleton in the middle of his kitchen floor

 

I like Dani's sence of humour.


Tomorrow is TEH BLIND GUARDIAN GIG!!!!!!!!1!!11one

 

And tomorrow is 2 weeks until teh Emperor gig!!!

 

I have only one thing to say: YAY!

 

Hehe. Oh yeah, w00t, I finally got For All Tid today. I should have got it in Pula, but I forgot Damn them silly bands classed as 'metal' making us lol and me forget to buy the damn thing. Though, having said that, I still wonder how it's possible to get the CD's out of them odd rack things

 

Anti-steal technique. You ask the lady that works there. She has the key and she takes the album out of the box-like cage thingy.


Less that 24h to teh unfogetable headbanging on Valhalla or something even better...like Mirror Mirror.
LOL, there will be more Croatians that Slovenians. The entire CMAR-NET is going. And on international official BG forums, we speak Croatian in the Ljubljana concert thread. Haha, teh uber invasion.

 

Poor Slovenians...

 

---> Hansi said that our singing of the Bard's song was beautiful.

The gig was AMAZING!!!
Guardians were great, their singing was perfect, guitars were outstanding, drumms were pretty good (though I prefer Thomen to that newbie), and there really was more Croatians than Slovenians. We had our flag, we gave it to Hansi and he and Marcus put it on the drumms! It was a touching moment of patriotism, so good that even my school mate that is in fact a Hungarian, yelled "mi Hrvati!" (we Croatians). Well, that is a message to whhoever organises BG tours, to be smart next time, at least to buy a brain on e-bay, and to organise a full scale gig in Zagreb instead of squeezing 5000 people (80% Croatians, 5% Italians, 5% Austrians) into a small hall. *sigh* But, still, it was fantastic. Now I can really quote the uber mushiness of ROTS and say that it was a happy moment, the happiest moment of my live, especially those 5 minutes of Mirror Mirror and 5 min of Bard Song and Nightfall...hell the entire concert!
*euphoria is still existant* (can I write existant? is it grammaticly correct? nah, who cares?!)

They played:

War Of Wrath (Intro)
Into The Storm
Welcome To Dying
Nightfall
Fly
Bright Eyes
Valhalla
Time Stands Still
Mordred's Song
Another Stranger Me
The Past And Future Secret
And Then There Was Silence (and they said it was the last one and then we all yelled like idiots: "WE WANT MORE!" )
And The Story Ends
Harvest Of Sorrow
Imaginations From The Other Side
The Bard Song
Mirror Mirror

Who could possibly wish for a better BG playlist?!

---> Astral Doors were playing before the real show, they were pretty ok, though a tad boring because we were all anxious to see Blind Guadian.

---> teh GUITAR of teh guitars - the acoustic one with which they played every BARD SONG I've actually seen it. *faints*

Hansi - btw, Cobra, they played Time stands still, and j i Iron was obvious.

Fandom is forever! Like the Astral Doors song - Evil is forever.

I made some uber pics, didn't I?! I love my camera.

When I got there and during the Astral Doors gig, everything was quite normal, but at the beginning of the actual BG concert my friend I managed to get to 2nd row. Actually, we were pushed by enourmous crowd mass. I could hold out my hand and it was way beyong the border of the stage. However, we were extremely squeezed and pushed and now I even have the experience of the g-state, because there was a moment when I was standing, but I wasn't actually touching the floor. Then I had to tie my hair in a ponytail because I was very afraid that I might loose it. There was so many people, so little space, and long hairs everywhere and accidentaly, as the crowd squeezed and people pushed each other, tons of hair were being pulled out all over the place. So in my attempt to tie my hair (in g-state and with no room for my hands, I was unfortunately pushed back in the 4th row.
I dehydrated, I lost my voice because I yelled and sung every single song and my muscles are still very sore and I couldn't feel my neck and my Dr.Martens are all ruined now and I got home at 6:30 am, it was very
