Hans Teeuwen & Pieter Bouwman - Mannen van de Radio

[WhoCares]

siN hasn't replied at all... :(

[MadTinus]

siN hasn't replied at all... :(Hmm, that's weird :emot-roll.

Hans Teeuwen & Pieter Bouwman - Mannen van de Radio
Ooooh!! That is GREAT!!! "Brandweerman... iets met zand & schelpjes!!" :bonk:

[WhoCares]

Hmm, that's weird :emot-roll.

indeed... :confused:

[WhoCares]

finally... it's affirmative 'tinus, now I'll get the ball rolling on this end I guess. :D

NP: the coffee machine gurgle

[MadTinus]

Great! Now I'm gonna have to dig into some Atheist then, cause honestly I'm not familiar with any of their stuff.. :emot-whis

NP: INXS - New Sensation

[WhoCares]

check out the ecard on the site... you get 2 tracks off each album...

[MadTinus]

Cool, I'll check it out. One of those bands I've been meaning to check out for a loooooong time but somehow never got around to actually do it :).

[WhoCares]

well to give you an idea, I have the Atheist LTD LP Boxset next to my Death LTD LP Boxset, and they are two of my prize possesions of my LP collection... two of my all time favorite bands... I've just gotten the reissues as well (even though I have the originals on cd/cassette already)

Can't wait to see what/where they play in 2006 european tour... :D

[MadTinus]

That Death LP boxset is also high on my personal 'gotta have urgently' list!

[WhoCares]

not so easy to find these days...

[MadTinus]

not so easy to find these days...Sadly not, it's also hard to search for it on ebay, try search on the word 'death' on ebay and see how many results you get ;).

[Starve]

def leppard - lets get rocked!

[MadTinus]

Slipknot - 9.0 Live

I know you guys are gonna hate me but I actually dig Slipknot...so up yours!!! :grenade:Nutt'n wrong wi'that! I also own a Slipknot CD (the debut).anathema - forgotten hopes :)Good choice, amazing song!


NP: DEATH - Symbolic :emot-wors

[Alexandra]

NTM - Qu'est-ce qu'on attend pour foutre le feu ?

[Nouk]

Greatness! :) Good to know I'm not the only one :emot-danc
Slipknot is very cool to see live on stage!! :emot-nod: But I do not have any of their cd's...

[WhoCares]

We have a few of their CDs, and saw them live in London when they filmed the DVD (In Flames opened) :D TBH, I know they were putting on a super show for the DVD, but it was just a little too much... Wait & Bleed is still the best song imho...

[MadTinus]

Wait & Bleed is still the best song imho...Really..? :couto:

There's some way better songs on the debut CD i.m.h.o.., especially "[sic]" and "Eyeless" :devil:.

[WhoCares]

In general I prefer that album over the new stuff... it's like they're trying extra hard to be "death metal" and offensive...

[MadTinus]

Ah well, the song "People = shit" from Iowa kicks ass though.. But then that's the only song worth hearing from that album ;).


NP: my brand-new ALICE IN CHAINS - Music Bank 4-CD box set, disc 3 :) Hail AIC!! :emot-wors

[MadTinus]

STREAM OF PASSION - Embrace The Storm

Great album!

[Nouk]

NP: In Flames - Colony.

Not the best IF-album but it rocks anyway ;)

[MadTinus]

Colony is the start of the downward spiral.


NP: still, Stream Of Passion.

[Nouk]

It's not downward, it's different. That is not the same.

[MadTinus]

Different and for me less interesting, cause they dropped the elements that initially made me an In Flames fan.


NP: System Of A Down - Hypnotize

[Nouk]

Well, that's why I was listening, not you ;) I play the more recent albums now because I've bought the Used and Abused - In Live we Trust DVD and that contains (mostly) the newer songs... And I must say they sound much better performed live!!! :hbang32en

[MadTinus]

...the newer songs... And I must say they sound much better performed live!!! :hbang32enI know, or at least so I've been told, cause I still can't acknowledge it personally.. Still haven't seen them live... :suicide:

Tinus is right now going to :emot-slee.


NP: OPETH - Ghost Reveries (<= awesomeness)

[Uphobia]

You funny bastard ;)

[brianwilliams82]

No lip from you, Mister! I'm keeping you rich in Cuban cigars, lit with 5euro notes!

[WhoCares]

[MadTinus]

NP: US version of PTU, received in the mail today, indeed with 'text-less' booklet and mine also has a hole-punch through the barcode.. Sounds just as good though ;).

[Nouk]

NP Opeth - Still Life.... Hmmmm :)

[MadTinus]

NP: THROES OF DAWN - Dreams Of The Black Earth

Still an excellent atmospheric (Blackish) Metal album :).

[PyroVesten]

My most played tracks for the last week (image will update itself weekly)

http://imagegen.last.fm/minimalDark/artists/PyroVesten.gif

[Alexandra]

Green Carnation - The Quiet offspring
a classic...

[MadTinus]

You like it that much..? It's good, but I still definitely prefer Blessing & LOD DOD.

NP: SYSTEM OF A DOWN - Hypnotize

[Alexandra]

Hi Madtinus,

not at all, i'm just addict, waiting for the Acoustic verses...
Plus i've got so bloody good memories of my life relative to the Quiet Offspring.
I wrote something ( quite complete to me ) about the album last june or what, you can read it on their forum if the threat had not been deleted.
My favourite ones are Journey to the end of the night and LODDOD

NP : Green carnation - LODDOD - 11'24"/25"/26"/27"...
:)

[MadTinus]

You can call me Martijn ;).

NP: Green Carnation - The Acoustic Verses and loving it!

[WhoCares]

How about the forum Micah..?

[MadTinus]

About f*ckin' time! ;)

[WhoCares]

indeed, funny how it actually happened though... I'll tell you sometime... lol...

np: Sonic Syndicate - Eden Fire

[MadTinus]

OPETH - Ghost Reveries

I'm the only one left here at work, so that means I can play my own stuff! :)

[Nouk]

Interesting working hours your colleagues do have ;)

[Nouk]

Guess I sound like some kind of a barbarian after the comment from Tinus, but I just re-discovered Killswitch Engage :devil:

NP: The End Of Heartache - A Bid Farewell.

[MadTinus]

NP: SATYRICON - Now, Diabolical :)

[Kahlan]

np: Cynic - Focus..;)

[Beardy]

NP: SATYRICON - Now, Diabolical :)
What do you make of that? I just can't get into it at all, save the title track and "To The Mountains"...

NP: Ihsahn - The Adversary

[Kahlan]

NP: Ihsahn - The Adversary

^ :cool:

np: Katatonia - The Great Cold Distance "Leaders" :)

[Beardy]

Well, I think it's MUCH better than Volcano, which I found to be rather boring..

I don't know all titles, but "A New Enemy" is a great track I think, the third song is good and the titletrack is pretty groovy. I like the atmospheric tracks.
"To The Mountains" is the final track, I like the use of horns/keyboards in it, it's definitely my favourite on it.

I think I'll have to give the album a few more listens before I can judge it properly really...

[Nouk]

NP: Toto - Falling in Between :cool:
Yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiihaaaaaaaaaaaa :emot-head

[WhoCares]

np: Trackmania Nations

I was on a dutch server the other day and saw a martijn, tinus & Koen on it... wouldn't be anyone I know would it? (I'm aware Martijn/Koen are common names...) just curious!

[MadTinus]

"on a dutch server"..?

NP: Jeff Buckley - Grace (Legacy edition)

[Nouk]

I recently discovered the band Scar Symmetry. Their debut 'Symmetric In Design' is absolutely great! Anyone else who knows em?

[MadTinus]

Yes, they are absolute Soilwork-worship, no wonder you like them ;).

But they're good, really.

NP: Jeff Buckley - Mystery White Boy (live '95 - '96)

[Nouk]

I know... I'm predictable. So f*cking shallow really :p
Naah but reaaaaaaaly love 'em, and just found out they will also be on the Neckbreakers Ball bill. But already have a ticket ;)

Oh and by the way, Speed from Soilwork can only dream of a grunt like that ;)

[Beardy]

I actually prefer Scar Symmetry's stuff to the last couple of Soilwork albums... I don't know what it is but nothing they've done since "Natural Born Chaos" has really grabbed me in the same way as the older stuff.

NP: The Project Hate MCMXCIX - Weep

[WhoCares]

"on a dutch server"..?

I was playing http://www.trackmanianations.com (free racing game) on a dutch server ("games@utwente 100mb")...

Well as far as Scar Symmetry goes it's no secret that they're well loved on Sex to 9 (and Diva Satanica now...) I think they're a little bit of every style of metal really, not too much of one thing. Great growling, nice clean vocals, music is melodic, with some guitar virtuoso stuff (but not too much!) some black metal ish bits some more power metal... etc etc... all in all it's a great mixture.

Maria will be airing her interview with Jonas (Scar Symmetry) in about 2 weeks (On April 7th I think to be close to the release date) as well as playing (at least) 3 tracks from the new album :D

You guys really need to listen to the show more often :p

NP: Scar Symmetry - Pitch Black Progress

[MadTinus]

You guys really need to listen to the show more often :p

NP: Scar Symmetry - Pitch Black ProgressI do, but one needs working sound on one's PC to do that.. And Tinus doesn't have that for over a year now...

BTW, why did SS give their album almost the same title as Callenish Circle's last album "Pitch Black Effects".. I mean, they must've heard of it.. And then, it isn't exactly an obvious title, let alone 2 bands independently come up with almost the same thing, at almost the same time, weird...


NP: Keep Of Kalessin - Armada

[WhoCares]

I do, but one needs working sound on one's PC to do that.. And Tinus doesn't have that for over a year now...

If I end up going up to NL to see Scar Symmetry this summer/fall, I'll have a look :p

Good question, Maria had it written as one of her questions, but ran out of time, and didn't get to ask it... :(

Guess I really should ;)

But what I really like in the band is indeed that they combine so much flavors, and I like the vocals. Heard the album 5 times in two days now, really really great band. Looking forward to see them on stage in April!

[Jaja]

Empty Skies - Aces High.

[MadTinus]

Nightingale - Nightfall Overture (album)

The re-recording of the song "Nightfall Overture" is great I have to say :).

[MadTinus]

NP: In Flames - SubterraneanIF at their best, "Ever Dying" is one of their best tracks ever, i.m.o...

[Nouk]

I am very surprised by this album, the only one I didn't have yet. Always thought it was nothing much interesting, but I was wrong ;)

[MadTinus]

I am very surprised by this album, the only one I didn't have yet. Always thought it was nothing much interesting, but I was wrong ;)You got an original..? Or the Lunar Strain/Subterranean on-one-CD version?

[MadTinus]

Original ;) Got both Lunar Strain and Subterranean original :)That's the way!

[Nouk]

Proud of my IF-collection :) Best piece still is my Come Clarity box, what a beauty :emot-wors

[Nouk]

Ok, here I am, whining again about my discovery of the century (feeeeel the drama ;)) SCAR SYMMETRY!

I recently bought a promo CD of their new album (Pitch Black Progress) from Ebay but my job was so busy the last days I had no time to listen to it :(

This promo contains two tracks of the new album: The Illusionist & Mind Machine. WOWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :hbang32en

I already loved the vocals on Symmetric in Design but this... this is SO cool :emot-droo And they kick ass live as well!

So just bought the new CD in pre-order :D Release is in 5 days!

Are you also a victim?In the morning, yes...

[Nouk]

You can switch during the day?
I'm Q-ing aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallll day :cry:
My colleagues like it too damn much :(

[MadTinus]

I'm on one department in the morning, where they listen to Q. Then I go back to my original department in the afternoon where, thank god, 3FM is on.

[Nouk]

I think I should just kill the radio. It's next to the window :emot-gigg
The only thing I like about Q is 'Het Foute Uur' between 9 & 10.

Before Q it was Caz. That's even worse..... I would loooove 3FM but they already think I am crazy cause I went to Metallica :weird:

[Metal Baron]

Even better: Slam FM. All day long in the fitness club. Good news is I'm hardly ever more than 2 hours there!

[Nouk]

I know! Tomorrow I may go to the gym again to do a 55 minute spinning lesson on a self composed trance-mix from my teacher. Nooooooooooooo ;)
