Re: Let's talk about music
Esquire debuted the new Margot and the Nuclear So & So's single today. I'm happy to see them moving away from the weird noise-rock vibe they were rolling with the last two albums.

Re: Let's talk about music
http://abcnews.go.com/US/skinny-puppy-b ... d=22383549" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;A hard rock band has billed the U.S. government for "musical services" after discovering their songs were used during interrogations of accused terrorists at Guantanamo Bay.
Cevin Key, keyboard player for the Canadian rockers known as Skinny Puppy, told ABC News he was shocked and angry to hear from a fan and former Gitmo prison guard that their music had been used as a form of torture at the military base in Cuba.
"I was told that people were forced to listen to music at an intolerable level," said Key. "This one particular interrogator would put one of our songs on repeat for 6-10 hours at a time. After six hours [the prisoners] was belittled, kicked, punched and so on. I just can't imagine music being used that way."
While the band chose a "random evil figure" of $666,000 as compensation for the unauthorized use of "original music for U.S. interrogation purposes," they don't expect the government to provide a timely response to their demands.
"We're not looking to get monetarily reimbursed," Key said. "If we received anything from the government we'd probably donate it back to survivors of PTSD [post traumatic stress disorder]."
A military spokesman told ABC News the Department of Defense has not received an invoice and is committed to the humane treatment of detainees.
"I'm not even sure how, functionally, such a process of billing based on a hunch might work," Lt. Col. J. Todd Breasseale said in an email statement. "The Army Field Manual does not authorize or condone the use of sleep manipulation or sensory deprivation." The statement did not confirm or deny playing Skinny Puppy songs.
Key said the band, whose music is lumped into the electro-industrial genre and has been compared with Nine Inch Nails, had been made aware that four different songs of theirs had been used on at least four occasions to "inflict damage" on suspected terrorists in the prison

This is a reasonable glimpse into Man Man shows. See them if they come to a venue near you.

On the topic of Man Man, this is pretty funny (Anderson Cooper 360 segment on "End Boss"---Man Man's song about Wolf Blitzer).

That's not saying Down is bad, cause they aren't but for as much as Zakk Wylde is a dick he writes good stuff.

Killswitch, Avenged, and Trivium make it worth it. Everytime I Die adds a bit. The rest are just the price of admission ( up and over the actual price of admission).

Re: Let's talk about music
Trivium's live series from Chapman Studios is pretty impressive as far as live performances go.

There are 8 different songs. None are flawless, but all are fairly impressive.

Re: Let's talk about music
I like Trivium quite a bit. I know most metal fans think its uncool to like them, but whatever. They for the most part write good **** that I enjoy. They've had a couple clunker albums, but for the most part they put out good stuff. Shogun and Ascendancy being my two favorite albums of theirs.

Foreplay/Long Time by Boston came on the radio and my 2 year old son kept saying "favorite song! favorite song!" I think I'm doing at least something right.

We've argued over this before. Though I would see and have seen KSE with both Howard and with Jesse, I just think Jesse is a better fit for the band and honestly should have never left in the first place. No slight on Howard though.

Fear Factory ceased to exist after Obsolete... Or at least I like to pretend that they did.
