Yeah, very different indeed. Both good in their own right, but damn. I saw Mars Volta play with A Perfect Circle & the improv jamming that Omar did throughout his set was phenomenal.

Porn is okay here long as it ain't dudes.
A Perfect Circle and Mars Volta are a few of my favorites.
Been really keen on keeping up with euro rock bands like Edguy and Lordi lately. The latter is somewhat like GWAR.

Yeah, Edguy released a pretty good album this year. I consider them the Blue Oyster Cult of the current metal scene with their unique power metal sound.
I thought I mentioned the new Ill Nino album earlier. The album is really good the more I listen to it. Very great band. I like all their albums an wish I could see them live.

Saw Ill Nino live. Stage presence was great. They had cool little gimmicks like guys coming out with marching band and congo drums for some of their songs. However, live performance was okay.
GWAR are a MUST for live performance. Studio work ain't that great.
Rob Zombie had balloons last time I went to see him. Solid performance.
The other way around for me. I love their studio work (excluding their first album) but live... they're hit and miss. Amazing if they hit it but kind of lacklustre when they miss. There really is no-between with those guys. Still like the band though and will see them live again.

That's how I feel about All That Remains, hit or miss live by great in the studio. Ever since I've moved from Massachusetts to Florida my concert going has died. I need to see a show badly.
Beautiful Stories For Ugly Children was a very lack luster album. But I understand, that's why metal is awesome since it's so diverse that not everyone will like the same old same.
Any Soilwork and In Flames fans? What about some hardcore fans like Bury Your Dead, For The Fallen Dream and Stick To Your Guns just to name a few.
Yeah definitley, I"m an old school thrash and death fan at heart but like snooping around in other genres, always finding something cool.
I do like some of In Flames older stuff-- Jester Race/****acle are 2 albums that specifically come to mind. Anders did a song with the symphonic metal band Pendulum, called Self vs. Self, it's pretty badass.
As for hardcore, I'm not a huge fan, but I've seen Cancer Bats as the opening act at two different shows in the last couple years and they're really good. They're Canadian, and they did a cover album of Sabbath songs called Bat Sabbath which I liked alot.
Cancer Bats had some good stuff. The singer along with the singer Matt Tuck from Bullet For My Valentine groomed a group. They're called Axe Wound and pretty good.
I am not a big fan of death metal and I don't mind thread metal.

Definitely dig the Cancer Bats reference. Saw them in a bar in Mass last year. Insane show. They're on tour with While She Sleeps right now (Favorite band on the planet) and its not fair because of how its in the UK and not in America. Metal has so many goddamn sub genres its rediculous. :'/
I know, i get this response a lot. I dig some songs but cannot get into true death metal. Same with black metal, just cannot get into it.
Give it a listen, everything you hate all balled up into a ball of hate that you will learn to love.
I saw them with Legacy of Disorder, DevilDriver and GWAR... had to find my ticket to remember what tour it was. Damn good show. "Dead Set on Living" is a badass album.

Slipknot sucks, listen to real metal.

Okay, I'll check it out and see how it goes. Give me a few days as I have to find time first.
So Shawn Drover, the drummer of Megadeth for the last decade quit the band to pursue his "own musical interests."
Hours later, guitarist Chris Broderick announced he was done as well.
That leaves Mustaine and Ellefson as (once again) the lone two founding members of the band.
Megadeth is one of my favorite bands and I really liked the most recent lineup, but I'm sure they will continue on.
Any thoughts on replacement drummers/guitarists?

I dunno who the new guitarist could be but Dave Lombardo and Joey Jordison are two really good drummers not doing much at the moment.

It's hard to peg down what "true" death metal is because of all the sub genre's. To me bands like Vader, Amon Amarth, Death, Arch Enemy, Morbid Angel, and Behemoth constitute death metal across a wide variety. While some elitists might be like "Real death metal is Devourment" or some shit.

I would call JFAC deathcore. Though grindcore is the best genre ever. Who can forget such legends as Anal Cunt and Torsofuck.
Pig Destroyer is good too... but when it comes to grindcore, Napalm Death reigns supreme.
I think Dave Lombardo said he'd be interested in drumming for Megadeth if they asked him. Joey I believe is full time with Rob Zombie so he might be busy with that or with Murderdolls.
As for genres to me idk what have the stuff I listen to is considered. I just like what my ears tells my brain is good. There are too many sub genres to where it could hurt the Metal scene more now than it has been hurt before.

Lombardo would be a good fit, that'd be cool.
I'm not a huge Slipknot fan but I saw them at Mayhem Fest a couple of years ago, Jordison is a badass drummer. The gimmick they did where the drumset elevated, did a 360 around and upside down for a few rotations, all the while he was playing a solo, was one of the more memorable things I've seen at a live show.
It's Damn Real!
The undisputed, undefeated TNA &
Death Metal kings, in no specific order:
Vader, Carcass, Autopsy, Immolation, Morbid Angel, Suffocation, Cannibal Corpse and Death, who are the band it all began with IMO.
