I think I've grown too used to Metal music

[Caligastia]

Oh...was Echy there?

[MikeH]

I think so, although he said there were two concerts in Berlin close to each other so it might not have been that one.

[Caligastia]

I bet it was part of a medley. They almost never play any of those long songs from the old days in their entirety anymore. Although they did play Master of Puppets all the way through the last time I saw them.

[MikeH]

They did at Reading as well. In fact they played every song all the way through, no medleys at all.

[Ecthy]

yeah, no medley

MOP was quite cool, so was FFWF, B and B (Blackened and Battery )

GIVE THAT BOY A MULLET!!!!

sometimes Metallica will play the first 4 songs from Ride the Lighning. Thought that was back in the Justice days.

Now days they usually put Creeping death, and For whom the bell tolls. Sometimes fade to black.

[Ecthy]

oh, only now I saw that question... and yes believe it or not, they played Ride the Lightning

[MikeH]

System of a Down were awesome again at Reading.

One of those bands that win fans everytime they play, even if people don't like their singles, or aren't really into their music.

I don't like metal. It just isn't hard enough for my tastes for the most part, just lethargic low-pitched rumbling with the headpounding quotient of The Carpenters. A few exceptions exist (currently enjoying that Amen album MikeH recommended) but otherwise there's nothing of the pure clinical energy that real hard music has.

[MikeH]

I think that you could leave that out as an exception. To me Amen's not really metal despite having heavy guitars. I'd say it's got the ethic and vibe (and energy) of punk behind it. Which is probably why you like it.

[Buck Birdseed]

Yep, but then you could make the same claim about every exception I like (Napalm Death's Scum album, Some Motörhead, etc.) so I guess I really just like punk and think heavy guitars are good but only when used in a Stoogesy way.

So what do you listen to, that you call "real hard music"?

[Buck Birdseed]

Hip-Hop, Dancehall, Punk, something with a head-splitting groove and energy.
