My First Performance (by CoB8Slipknot)
Sweet, today I played my first ever show. It was a battle of the bands and it was sweet. We only had like 10 minutes, and we only played three cover songs, and we didn't win, but that's cool. We still played, which is what matters.
It's pretty nerve-racking getting ready to step onstage for your first show. But man, once you get on and look at the crows the tension fades and you just play...not being able to see the audience helps alot too 
So we played 8th out of 9, and we covered "Cold Shot" by Stevie Ray Vaughan, "Swing life Away" by rise Against, and did a small instrumental (Chuck Berry Style). For being the youngest people and the youngest band there we did really well, atleast that's what everyone told us.
So yeah....it was fun.

Digg thisPan's Labyrinth
Possibly one of THE most disturbing film's I have ever watched.
Nonsensical, Un-needed violent/graphic images followed by an obtrusive plot. Not my cup of tea.
I wouldn't say it's a bad movie, but I wouldn't say i particularily enjoyed watching it...
It didn't make a lot of sense to me, if you guys have seen it what do you think?

**Sorry this takes up so much space, it seems to only double space**
And WHY am I so happy?
After many delays...two weeks of delays...my best buy order has FINALLY come through and arrived to my palms.
So, in my possession I now have:
Opeth - Orchid
Opeth - Ghost Reveries
Opeth - Live Lamentations (DVD)
Yeah, I know, I know, I pwn you, but let's keep that to ourselves.
Orchid, I had herd dispersed songs every now and then...but hering the entire collaboration all at once...was a nonexistant-God Send. It is the SINGLE greatest piece of work I have ever laid my grubby little hands on. I love it. There are like less then no lyical aspects and it still owns at life. The atmosphere of the album, was great, obviously added to the songs.
Haven't listened to GR as of yet but I have watched like half of Live Lamentations, and overall so far it's a rather nice DVD but they should've mixed it up rather than having all of the softer set first followed by their heavier stuff afterwards, it would have mad it a tad more lively rather than forcing you to hold on...you know the heavy set is coming...but it always seems to be so far away...
Come What(ever) May
Everyone seems to be saying that Come What(ever) May (Stone Sour's second, and most recent album) is not as good as their self entitled.
I must disagree, if anything it's better....ALOT better. It's a more redifined sound, and it's really good. On their first album songs like Take A Number and Inhale were the only ones that I felt were really really well done. The others were good but not as intriguing. On the new album, songs like SillyWorld, 30/30-150, Reborn, Zzyzx Rd, Socio...a bunch of them are really, REALLY well done.
My thoughts on the album, what about you?
Recent Reviews
All in all, I dont have alot to say about them, but they are a good band.
I prefer Nymphetamine over Thornography, but Thornography was still well done.
Dani's ability to grunt and screech I find comes in very handy with his songs. There are times when the songs need a more intense background which is where his screaming comes in. But then, in the cracks and crevices of his songs comes his grunting, ehich fits the mood perfectly for him to just burst right out and start screaming.
It's odd, I usually can't stand bands with that high of screaching, or even just constant screaching/grunting, but these guys seem to be really awesome.
I've heard tons of critiques on these guys, some good some bad, and I have to say these guys have the most split down the center feelings about them, that I've seen. People always say "Well, you either love a band or you hate them." And I've always trusted that, but too many times have people said that and then said, "well this band is ok, i dont hate them but they aren't awesome." Not once have I ever heard someone say that they were just okay. I've only ever heard, "Yeah those guys are amazing!" or "I hate Cradle of Filth."
The guitar work/drums/keyboard doesn't seem to be that complicated and it doesn't stand right out. But their playing is great, it suits their songs well and gives them the perfect background for each one.
These are my thoughts.
