The last concert of their tour will be in Ft Lauderdale April 2nd. Ironically I haven't been there since Spring Break 1990. :lol: I'm flying out to see them considering I can only remember about half of their concert here in MD last year. (long story involving some girl and a concussion)

I'm stoked. Just hope I can find a hotel room.

You going drix?

yeah, you are better off spending it on the Abba reunion.

too bad you can't understand why good music is ..... just sit back and enjoy your David Cassidy PB

:lol:

This is good music Oak. Pay attention.

Maiden is shit.

yeah, its not like Maiden had ANY influence on bands like SK

:lol:

as usual, you have no clue.

http://www.fenderplayersclub.com/artists_l...ts/slipknot.htm

Do you think posting that made Maiden not shitty?

nope --- merely posted it to show you that a favorite band of yours was influenced by another band you deem as 'shitty'

:lol:

If you don't like them get out of my thread. This isn't deathmatch, politics, or whatnot.

I can't see the vid here at work but Wham isn't good music.

Maiden is shit.

Yet your favorite band along with many others, including Metallica think they are gods.

You're a joke man. Did Bruce bang your old lady or something? :D

LMAO! I am a slipknot fan but you care to compare pipes with mighty Bruce? You are fucked in the head.

:logik: :nope:

You seem to have good taste in music. What do you think about Dream Theater. I've heard a couple of their songs and I know they re-did Maiden's Beast album but they seem more technical with not much passion. Just heard a few of their songs though.

You're kidding right?

I hated Slipknot when they were GWAR and I hate them more now.



Awful music.

Uh Shiek, Slipkot was never GWAR. You can't even make a comparison between the two.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GWAR

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slipknot_(band)

Uh, that was sarcasm.

Masks and tacky unoriginal metal riffs, punctuated by that annoying death metal voice.

Slipknot blows dude.

Dream Theater is amazing --- if you like them, give a group called Porcupine Tree a listen....

:lol:

so very true ---

I've never listened to them. Probably should pick something up eventually...

As far as metal goes, just lately I've been listening to Strapping Young Lad's "The New Black" over and over and over again. Those guys f*cking kick some metal ass, I tell you what.

Hmmm, will have to check them out. Always hear of dream theater but the songs I've heard are decent, just don't seem to show much passion.

oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!

how did this slip past me?

tickets! TICKETS!

you should start a deathmatch thread with this title for everyone to ignore.

They alredy did the presale but tickets go on sale tonight, 2 minutes to midnight. Wife and I are in section 104, row 8.

Remember this is a half arena setup when getting tickets. More info at their main websight in the forums.

I thought you lived in Florida. :lol: Glad you didn't miss this completely. Probably would have driven you crazy like my Maryland concussion incident hence why I'm flying out to Florida. :lol:

oh i do, and it would have!

i got to tell rod smallwood himself that they need to come to florida on the matter of life and death tour, and lo - here they come!

we should meet up before the show and have a few beers!

UP THE IRONS!

getting set for presale!

here's a pic of my new dinky...

sweet!

bullshit! it's 11:59!

woot!

Drix, how long you been playing guitar? You any good? I play drums.

\m/

i just turned 36, and i got my first guitar on my 13th birthday, just after i heard 'somewhere in time' for the first time. it didn't take long - one or two listens to the lead in 'wasted years', and that's all it took. i was always a kiss fan and loved them, and wanted to start out on drums, but my mother just would not have it. it only took a little while longer, and i found my excuse to play guitar (please check avatar to the left) right around january of 1986.

i now play in two bands - an original band (starting recording pre-production tonight), and as 'adrian smith' in an iron maiden tribute band here in the area. i just got the jackson adrian smith dinky for this very reason, in fact. the sites have my real name on them and such so...

all of the sudden, i have a new outlook on you, prowling.

Damn man! All that and you almost missed this concert! :D

Tho solo from "Wasted Years" is my all time fav. Brings chills to my spine.

Had a buddy I grew up with who was incredible on guitar but a drunk. A major SRV fan. Waste of talent. He really could have went somewhere but the drinking and attitude problem didn't help.

Love listening to guitar, just never learned how to play. Taught myself chariots of fire or something on the piano and played the recorder in grade school. :lol:

i know; i have been really busy lately, and i just haven't been checking the sites, and i had no idea. i'm sure that it's going to sell out quickly. i was very nervous, and we were online at midnight friday night trying to get tickets, and i wanted 111, but the other guitar player was having problems with his connection, so i got that one in 108 just in case.

if i would have only known, i would have just saved my travel/ticket expense from last june's show in cleveland, but oh well; i got to see family and such, so it was nice.

i can only imagine that they should sound awesome, having had so much playing time and so many shows done already. i've never gotten to see the last night of the tour, so this will be a new twist on the maiden for me. they were outstanding in 'rock in rio', and this is the last night of a big, big tour, so i've got great hopes.

nicko lives in ft lauderdale, and told me to look him up when he was in florida sometime when i got to meet him on the 'matter of life and death' tour in boston, so i might just have to take him up on it!

:lol: This is funny.

Are you referring to Nicko McBrain?

*shrugs* Didn't seem to hold Dave Mustaine back any...

yep.

Don't know the whole story about Mustaine but my friend was pretty bad. I had to knock his ass out once after he threw a dart in to one of his bandmembers leg and tried to take his keys to go to the store. He could barely stand up.

:lol: You'll love this drix.

Great article on maiden. Only reason to read this rag.

2 weeks and counting!

Yeah, I need to set up our Everglades tour for the next day. Still haven't got my Maiden shirts in the mail yet, damnit!
