Yeah good one' date=' soundgarden were always in the same breath as nirvana, pearl jam, screaming trees, alice in chains. There is no way the forementioned bands are metal.
Have i bothered? Heh. I do have a very large collection of alice in chains and soundgarden.
Guess that means you have to get your head out of your own asshole then.
Alice in Chains - Selftitled, Dirt, Facelift, Heroin, Jar of Flies & Sap, Live, Music Bank, Nothings Safe, Unplugged. Plus various bootlegs.
Soundgarden - Badmotor finger, Ultramega OK, Flower EP, Louder Than Love, Screaming Life, Superunknown.
Is that good enough for your arse?? Fuck off and don't try and compete with me. You couldn't even come close to owning as much of the above as i have[/quote']
awesome post!!!
funniest thing i've read in years.and your old man's bigger than his old man too i expect...

Early (pre Superunknown) Soundgarden. Badmotorfinger is a fuckin amazing metal album.
...never a truer word
-
well...they were!
not at all metal
...are you speaking about the same Alice in Chains?
if so, don't take my word for it, let me be a sad fooka and quote the amg "In many ways, Alice in Chains was the definitive heavy metal band of the early '90s. Drawing equally from the heavy riffing of post-Van Halen metal and the gloomy strains of post-punk, the band developed a bleak, nihilistic sound that balanced grinding hard rock with subtly textured acoustic numbers"
but anyway, bullshit aside...metal is in the eye of the beholder (or something like that) so fair play

Torn between
- Black Sabbath: where the whole thing started and still sounding great
- Alice in Chains: Black Sabbath influenced riffs I'll grant you but the vocal harmonies took the genre to a new level (often labelled grunge but were not)

Layne Stayley (AIC)
Chris Cornell
CRegg (Boy Hits Car)

If everyone did it and record sales really plumetted it would get to the point where the record companies would start having to cut down on records or indeed find some new way of making money. If it goes that way it is only going to be bad news for bands I think...so thats what I like to think Lars was standing up for...
ok, lets go with the positive spin...if lars was genuinely acting from this motivation then he does deserve the benefit of the doubt...anyone want some free petrol?

bah - back in edinburgh on monday...good gigging to y'all
-
Enjoyed the traxs...i'm getting iron maiden and megadeth with an original twist. Bet you guys kick ass live - there is some serious attitude and speed in them thar tunes.
Might turn the guitars up a tad and make the drum sound a little more fat in the next CD, but that's just my opinion
-
The principle of trying to protect the music industry...that's a bastard of a principal isn't it.
ah - the moral high ground. well found, that man
forgive me for not giving rock demi-god lars the benefit of the doubt but my impression was that the principle he was trying to protect was wealth accumulation...and he paid no heed to the s that his tape trading pulled from the pockets of the NWOBH guys. fair play about scale but ask yourself this - if lars had been born 20 years later, would he be a napster/p2p junkie just like most of us...
or, in summary...beer good, napster good
-
hate to be down on captain birdseye - the staff are excellent and the place has a good vibe (man) but this place costs 2x what we play when we rehearse in edinburgh...captive market or something like that. Time someone competed with these guys
(that said, we'll be back in captain's again this weekend so it can't be that bad
) -
Napster and tape trading are on very different scales...
fair play but its the principle dude
-
Like it! Overall great energy in the track, sounds like a live recordingtake it this was the plan
The drumming is maybe a little out of synch in places. Vox are strong on the whole but lose it a little bit at the top of the range. Personally, I would edge the bass up a little in the mix but theres nothing wrong with the levels here. Dig the ending

Lars is ace. The egos/personalities make Metallica an entertaining band. There are so many bands that might have good music but personality wise are really bland. Got to hand it to him for the Napster thing...that took some balls.
Hmmmm...as I recall that went something like
- beer good
- money good
- napster bad
...and at the risk of rehashing the whole lars/napster thing do you honestly believe that Lars (who may be an "ace" drummer but is definitely a f*ckwit - did u see kirk's surpise b/day party on SKOM!) did not have a bunch of bootleg tapes of the NWOBHM sh*t he was so into and is napster not just the modern equivalent?
Gotta agree on the entertaining part of your post though!
...and finally - this is only so long coz i'm out of it - i agree with hog, mustaine instead of hammet would have been cool...hammet's a great guy but he's just too damn nice
-
You are todays winner with the correct answer
Fair play...but returning back to that era and the SKOM...is it just me or was the Dave Mustaine / Lars "chat" more than a little disturbing? Metallica meets Megadeth in the battle of psychobabble...but Lars still wins the asshole contest
Megadeth are the more innovative band after the Master of Puppets era anyways...
-
oops...forgot to say, we'd appreciate any comments on the tracks / mix / website etc. After all one of the guys in the band is from Aberdeen
cheers
PS Gus, no you don't count and yes your bass playing is awesome

fangs for the mamary! i was at that gig (was it '92?). agree with the gnr quote: particular highlight was slash messing up his showpiece unaccompanied guitar solo :-)
faith no more had some real patton / martin tension - think he tried to kick him during one of his guitar solos...confusing at the time but well funny looking back
soundgarden were simply immense...but then, they are the best thing to come out of seattle
