Hah. Also have any of you heard those stories that men who look at women's breast, occasionally (or something like that) have a longer living life-span?

I need to talk to Luke about something else ... if that goes well and he gives me what he owes me, I'll do this.
|
I've planned to make an official XG guild anyways. And I do have the zeny right now, just need to confirm something with Luke. (Last edited by Racer Xeo on 07-16-06 12:40 PM) (restricted) |

Hmmm, another great interesting find from Google.
|
I searched "zeny", thinking it would be fun to post some kind of reference / image here refering to RO, and got some ... interesting results. So, lesson learned! Anyways, hope the pizza tastes good. I just might give you a sword in RO also ... for being a cool guy that I am. (Last edited by Racer Xeo on 07-16-06 10:32 PM) (restricted) |

I don't really care about the genre game anymore thesedays. When I speak of the typical kind of music I like nowadays, I usually say Power Metal ... but also I might just say European Metal, since I will argue (well I don't really need to since there's really no debate here if you ask me) that Europe has easily carried on more "true" metal than any other country (maybe Japan could be in there too, but I have to get into j-music).
|
I just don't go around places too often thesedays saying "I like Power Metal". Many bands that I have seen on sites, can be called Thrash on one site, Power on another and even Speed (extremly loose term there). 'Speed Metal' itself is a very dead term. I mean you can refer to bands with styles, and everything and I have gotten good results with usually can fall under 'Power Metal', but really you can label so many bands out there so many different styles. I just don't take the genre names as serious as I used to now. But, that's a little boring to discuss. Sparda, I know you mentioned you didn't read this thread, but I'll go ahead and repeat myself for fun. Dragonforce, they're decent. But extremely overated in my opinion. I only own a few of their albums ... just because I kind of bought them "for the heck of it". I do like their stuff, but after 3 or so songs, it gets old fast. I also can't stand how popular they have gotten (T-Shirts can now be seen at Hot Topic), and also don't enjoy how cocky they are. They're fast, sure. But I'm not interested in pure nonstop non-unique guitar playing here. I once wanted to register at their forums ... and basically say "Hey, their solo's are boring. Very very very boring. Try listening to Racer X sometime folks. There's shred speedy solo'ing, with a flow to it". Malmsteen? I love his stuff. But I guess I can see how people think he's a bit overated. Still, I think if it weren't for him we wouldn't have a lot of the bands that we have today like Rhapsody, Symphony X, and whatnot. He set the table for the neo-classical metal sound. But yeah, there's a few shredders out there I like over him. I really enjoyed Racer X's first two albums. The speed, great singing, and Paul Gilbert's guitar playing was incredible. Sparda, if you like Judas Priest, look into Racer X. Racer X - Judas Priest relationship story time: - Racer X vocalist Steve Martin is good friends with JP vocalist Rob Halford. That, and with Racer X's 2nd album, they had Scott Travis on drums, who's known to be one of the best drummers out there. If it weren't for Racer X folks, you would have not heard that insane drumming that you hear on Judas Priest's Painkiller album. Racer X recommended him, and do this day he still plays for both the bands. On top of that, I often compare Racer X's style to JP. They're just somewhat more agressive (especially with Street Lethal and Second Heat), and more about the guitars, but there's definitely a similar sound there. I'd also have to say that there's uncomparable guitar virtuoso on Jason Becker / Marty Friedman's two Cacophony albums. They may have had one of the shittiest vocalists on those albums, but the duel guitar soloing and virtuoso is like nothing I've ever heard. I never compare any other shred guitarist to Jason Becker's playing. His solo's on those two albums they put out, are smoother than any other guitar playing I've ever heard. Jason Becker is also somewhat inspiring to me. (look him up if you want to learn about him. Basically he's now paralyzed but compose's entire albums, note by note using the movement of his eyes with computers). Edit: Can't say I've ever really cared for Pantera. Great band, but I never cared for their sound or vocals. Kind of the same thing for Slayer ... Rage against the Machine is excellent. Very awesome and unique band (more fun to listen to than Audioslave if you ask me). I just don't know if I'd actually ever listen to them on my own free time. Also, even though my CD collection grows and grows and grows, I still stand by and will say Gamma Ray is still my top favorite band. I also even keep gaining new respect for them. Recently, because I realised how high Kai Hansen can get his voice, almomst like he's using falsetto ... but he doesn't use that. Its impressive. Also, and if it weren't obvious because of my album list, I'd have to say overall I like Medadeth over Metallica. Megadeth's Rust in Peace album beats out any Metallica album. And Megadeth's latest album, The System has Failed just annihilates Metallica's list of albums they put out when they went away from thrash. (If you haven't heard the album, I'd say the sound is very much like Youthanasia and Countdown to Extinction). (Last edited by Racer Xeo on 07-16-06 11:01 PM)

Originally posted by Solid Sajin Nope. At least I never found a way to. That and the quality is pretty bad ... that's kind of another reason why I just went ahead and bought them.

Just my opinion, but I never liked s-CRY-ed. Along with Vandread, and many of those in-space typical Tenchi-ish whatever typical anime's that seem like every other anime like it.
|
If that made any sense? Best space anime I liked was Crest of the Stars. It seemed more original, and seemed like anime's Star Trek. Anyways, I've always loved anime. But ! I've never been really into as much as some of my friends. I own the boxset of Rahxephon, Crest of the Stars, and Megaman. That's it. I just don't really care to buy anime because I hardly watch it on my own free time. I'm not constantly downloading anime. Basically, the times I see the most anime is when I'm at a friends. They've given me a bunch of series to watch. Monster, Gungrave, Maison Ikkoku, and a few others ... and within the month or more that I've had all of it, I've watched just a few episodes. So I don't know. I guess I'm weird. I really do like anime, it's just not something I get into alone and when I'm by myself or anything (unless its ...). What do I usually tell people? "I'm just more of a gamer I guess". I'll be gaming until I die. PS: I can say the very same about Manga and comics ... it just takes me, forever to read them. Which reminds me, I've had my friends first volume of House of M for ... over a month now. I need to finish it and give it back to him.

Originally posted by Sparda This is true for some of their select albums. Their debut album, Killing is my Business and Business is Good is even far heavier and more agressive than Metallica's Kill em' All album. Rust in Peace, in my opinion is the best example of pure 100% Thrash. After that with Youthanasia and Countdown to Extinction you could see their speed dropped a little bit, but at least they kept somewhat of a thrashy sound. Their other newer albums before System has Failed, like Risk (and one other I can't think of) was a huge failed venture off into something else, much like Metallica's St. Anger. System has Failed however, was in many ways and to many people Megadeth's "return" back to Thrash, and I can personally agree to it. The speed is back, the solo's, thrashy style, agressive sound, its all there. So their newest album basically went back to their old style, the style that made them big and Metallica big when they first appeared. I'd love to see Metallica try the same, but I just doupt that'll ever happen. I just hope Dave Mustaine keeps Megadeth like this from here on.

Yeah, I read the text first and tried looking into her eyes. It was really blurry to me. Oh well, kind of freaked me out ... but meh. |
