In The Pit #37 - Harvester of Sorrow

Malice

Here is the latest In The Pit. The next victim volunteer on the list is harvester of sorrow.

A quick recap of the rules:
1. Questions should be Rock & Metal related although some leeway is allowed.
2. Let's not have questions that are too personal. The poster doesn't have to answer anything they don't want to and as moderator I suppose I'll have the final say if something is appropriate or not.
3. Don't discuss any of the answers on the thread and only the poster should be answering the questions.

Hopefully that's clear enough so let the questions commence...

If you would like to take part in this and you're not already on the list, please post here and I'll add you to the queue.

Woah forgot about this!:pac:
Ok so lets do it....

I got into metal first when i was about 9/10 and saw the "one" video by Metallica on mtv in a friends house and im hooked ever since!

Found this forum when i joined boards first,after browsing all the different catagories that i had interests in.

If im not rocking out im usually working,playing xbox,or in the gym.....rocking out in the gym with my headphones on that is:p!

Listened to alot of albums over the years,but the one that had the biggest impact on me would have to be Pantera Vulgar Display of Power.....man that opening track "mouth for war"......bam!Still makes me want to start a mosh pit where ever i hear it!!

As for my username........my favourite 'tallica track.

I (try to) play the guitar,ever since i saw the video for "one",i said to myself "those guys f***in rock,i'm gonna be just like them",i was young at the time:o......so a pursuit began for a esp explorer(i know i know...corny eh!)Couldnt find one so i bought a les paul lookalike from ebay for about a 100 yo yo and learnt the basics from that.Then when i was browsing ebay again sometime later,i hit the jackpot...a ltd explorer,not the custom esp series but,hey close enough....sold!Tought i was the greatest thing since sliced bread when i used to plug it in!Hardly sees any action nowadays,must dust it off sometime!!

I like a bit of hip hop and grunge also.

Machine Head-The Blackening.
My first live gig was Metallica in the RDS,back in '08 i think.
My favourite gig was to see a Metallica cover band in Cork,Metallitia in a pub near north main st.What a night:).Those more intimate gigs in small venues are the best.

Take That:eek:......calm down,calm down...their new stuff had some catchy tunes imo.I wouldnt buy their album,but if they where on the radio i wouldn't turn it off either....that kind of way...if you know what i mean

The track that would play at my funeral would be Just Breathe-Pearl Jam,just in case anyone was having fun at my funeral:pac:

Elrollo

If you were to choose five members of any bands to go drinking with who would you choose?(and why)

viadah

Take That? Given your newly revealed penchant for them, which Metallica song do you think they'd have the best chance at covering to a degree that wouldn't make you vomit?


And 'Nothing Else Matters' is far too obvious a choice, and would most likely be vomit-inducing anyway.
