    Quick one. Just looking at some Megadeth vinyl online, and I see you can buy their records in a few different formats.

    There are picture disc vinyls which come in a clear package, and there seems to be ones with a traditional vinyl album cover.

    The specs/weight of the vinyl seem to be different?

    Is it a case that one is an old master, and the other is the new remastered ones.

    While the differences can be subtle, some of the remastered/remixed albums sound really bad to me. I liked them first time around for a reason!

    Picture disks are meant to be displayed more than anything, in fact I've read stuff about the packaging reacting with the vinyl to the point of it being unplayable.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,863 ✭✭✭seachto7


    Ah I see. If the vinyl releases are the new remixes then I'm going to steer clear !

    I see Down have been removed from a festival in the Netherlands due to Phil's actions and there is a petition floating about to get them removed from Download aswell. Have to laugh some of the comments outta this the likes of "I'm disappointed I love Pantera he is supposed to be a Role model" etc....hang on Phil Anselmo? A role model? Go'way even before this story dropped Phil Anselmo? The slow barely able to talk big bellied dopesmoker is supposed to be a role model? bloody hell never woulda guessed :D

    The festival well entitled to remove them of course maybe due to corporate pressure who knows....very excessive though IMO multiple artists on the go welcomed in the Netherlands and elsewhere who have displayed more in depth hate crimes likes of Clapton or that Chris Brown fella and many others but foolish Phil got pissed went all Hitler importantly did this all in front of a smartphone lens the kind of which filmed other crimes that night...the performances!

    Music is a form that's very subjective and it's performers always questionable too people should vote with their feet if they believe Phil and/or his music is Sh1te don't attend his bands shows...simple really.

    How's everyone doing? :) Any nice plans for the year yet? I think I'm off to Japan in June for Dir en grey's mode of VULGAR tour but getting tickets will be a nightmare. I don't have a Japanese credit card or address, don't know anyone living over there well enough that I can ask either. So I'll probably have to pay a shopping service a nice commission :O.

    Hey Rei, not too bad here ;)

    Wow, planning to follow Dir en Grey for another tour? There's dedication and then there's dedication.

    I'm thinking of heading over for the Asylum Steampunk Festival in Lincoln, it'll be Steam Powered Giraffe's first show in Europe, so I'm all over that. :D

    I'm still waiting for any announcements of a good tour coming to Ireland :( Still bummed about Cattle Decapitation coming to Europe, but not to here.

    Black Sabbath the end tour ???. Any chance of that coming here.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,944 ✭✭✭✭Links234


    Cradle of Filth next month, Angron? ;)


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,130 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    It's kinda awkward for me, cause I'll have my course the next day. I'd need to take a holiday day for it.

    They will be playing Vulgar in its entirety and it's my favourite album so I don't want to miss it :pac:

    Ah cool, you should definitely go! :D. Think you'd be kicking yourself if you didn't :P.


    I haven't really been out much at all lately and can feel the cabin fever setting in...March is a busy month though so just need to hang on a but longer. Although I do have Slipknot on Monday :D.

    Back in again with a question on Megadeth vinyls.
    I saw Rust in Peace and Peace Sells... in Tower, and nowhere on the packaging does it say "remastered" or "remixed", just a sticker with "from the vaults" or something similar.

    I assume then these would be the original recordings and not the horrible remasters?

    So, anybody head to Exodus tonight? Sabaton, CoF, Amorphis, Moonspell and Overkill all on the horizon too.


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 23,233 Mod ✭✭✭✭GLaDOS


    Heading to Sabaton, should be fantastic. Looking forward to Alestorm supporting.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,148 ✭✭✭Passenger

    Aye. Wouldn't mind seeing either too. Sabaton were probably gig of the year when they played The Academy previously.

    Was at the gig last night. Absolutely brilliant. They really do give their performances so much energy and seem to enjoy them. Alestorm were good as well

    Opeth playing Wembley Arena 19th of November very ambitious

    Ah you'd imagine they've done the sums to justify the venue. People will travel from far and wide for a gig like that.

    I dunno Nightwish were about £28 (standing) in same venue last year with Arch Enemy and Amorphis as support , in comparison Opeth appear to be nearly double that.

    just saw blind guardian are playing the academy in may. what's the academy like? it looks like a sardine tin with a thousand drunk people crammed in.


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 23,233 Mod ✭✭✭✭GLaDOS


    Yeah its pretty small but that can add to the atmosphere. Think it'll suit BG well.

    It's a great venue if the gig isn't sold out. If it is sold out then it's just like you described.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,162 ✭✭✭strelok


    hehe

    i'll think it over, will probably chance getting a ticket later in the week. not all that fond of crowds but blind guardian is blind guardian.

    Get in early and get a table upstairs on the balcony. It's a great spot to sit, enjoy a beer and see everything.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,162 ✭✭✭strelok


    oh there's tables and seats?

    that's that sorted so, ticket bought


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,944 ✭✭✭✭Links234


    Yeah, Academy is definitely one of my prefered venues for gigs in Ireland.

    I missed out on seeing Cradle of Filth the other day :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,148 ✭✭✭Passenger


    Anybody head to Amorphis + Textures in The Button Factory tonight? Fantastic gig. Sound and lighting were terrific.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,944 ✭✭✭✭Links234


    Woo hoo! Slough Feg are gonna be playing in June! :D

    I also like The Academy. I went there to see "We Came As Romans/One Ok Rock back in December.

    Cradle of Filth are not really my thing.

    Still disappointed I missed out on One OK Rock :o

    They were brilliant. It was one of the best show I've been to in years. They promised to come back, I'll definitely go to see them again.

    WCAR were brilliant too. I had quick chat with them after the show.

    The Ticket was £20, Absolute bargain to see 2 class rock bands.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 60 ✭✭Mexcanelo


    Takahiro Moriuchi is a brilliant vocalist too

    Have you heard of Aya Kamiki? She's another great Japanese vocalist, although probably not as good as Taka Moruchi. Her band "Uroboros" is not as well know either. I only heard about them from watching the Anime "Rokka no Yuusha" and a song she did called Black Swallowtail

    It just the strangest thing that last Thursday before I was finished up for the week I was enjoying Siamese Dream in work, a terrific album but one I hadn't listened to for years! Is that James back to stay?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,130 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    Cattle Decapitation announced a Euro tour. 5 dates in UK, and nothing here. F*cking hell it's hard to get good bands over here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,557 ✭✭✭Knifey Spoony


    Well, Mastodon are playingthe Academy on the 15th of August, so that's keeping me happy.

    On another note, have seen a couple of announcements for gigs from big bands today, that are just April fools. Can't trust anything you read online today.

    The Mastodon gig is actually true though, it's up on ticketmaster.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,130 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    Okay, I love F*ck the Facts. Ordered 2 cds and a t-shirt, shipping from Canada. One of the guys in the band does the shipping himself, e-mailed me to double check the shipping address, and then later e-mailed to say they were sent now but because they might take a while he gave me a code to download one of their albums online :D

    Cocaine is a hell of a drug. :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,179 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Out of all the concerts u went too what ones would you not go back too if they played here again ???

    I saw Def Leppard twice and Wud not go back a third time (same songs and screen visuals the whole time), Journey, Fleetwood Mac, RHCP, Morrissey(not that they were bad but they play the same sets almost every tour)

    Second thought I'd go back. Saw them in 2011 doing the whole moving picture album. Epic

    I'll edit now


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,944 ✭✭✭✭Links234


    Probably most, I don't tend to see bands multiple times. Saw Opeth a handful of times, and while the first time I saw them was easily one of the best gives I've ever been to, I was rather bored after that. Don't kill me!


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,130 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    Metallica. I only went for the support acts, I've no interest in seeing Metallica themselves again.

    The only one I wouldn't go to again would be Dragonforce, they were absolutely diabolical.

    I didn't bother going to Sonata Arctica when they were in London last year even though they were great when I saw them in Dublin in 2008 - recent weak albums and the standing-only venue (O2 Academy Islington) while I was pregnant weren't appealing.

    Seen a lot of bands multiple times but yeah Def Leppard is one for sure but they usually heading a decent bill, Fleetwood Mac amazing when saw but the cost would likely be no seeing again. Alkaline Trio woeful frontman was in a state. Lamb of God (too formulaic) Shinedown (miming). Black Label Society (20 minute solo play a song ffs :D).

    Yeah I get what ya mean although I bloody love Opeth so take them in if it's doable and tbf the last time I saw them (playing Ghost Reveries in full) was prob the best time I seen them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,148 ✭✭✭Passenger


    Blind Guardian were immense tonight in The Academy. Did anybody happen to head along? The crowd was one of the best I've seen recently too. Even enjoyed Gloryhammer in all their cheesy Power Metal goodness.
