I can write whatever I want about Vuk Karadžić—basically just spelling things however they sound to me—and no bunch of hicks is gonna stop me!!!!!!!!
hehe, looks like someone else got worked up too 😛

cosmiccobra35 said:Just because I have my senior thesis file sitting on my computer doesn't mean I actually finished it yesterday, you jerk.
How can you even talk to a veteran forum member like that?! Get outta here!!!🙂
Alright, at least I gave it a shot trying to find something positive to say about a band I absolutely can't stand... 😁
Harold King54 said:p.s. Rafo IS an optimist
Hmm, I heard a different version of that story. 😁
Jose Johnson40 said:Korn is way better than St. Anger... they're gonna absolutely wreck Metallica at the show...
I just hope it isn't just because of some black metal vibes. 😁
Jose Johnson40 said:honestly, Nevermind is kind of a joke...
Whatever, man. It’s still worth going just to see Korn. 🙂
Monitor says:
"The icing on the cake is the fact that for this entire tour, the opening act for Metallica is actually the masked heavyweights Korn, who have become pretty massive and respected in their own right."
Jeremy Bennett said:I really hope they play at least a few old classics.
It seems like most of the newer guys are just playing Frantic lately. 😁 Maybe some stuff from St. Anger and maybe one or two more... the rest is just all that old material from Load and Reload. 😛 😁
placidwalker53, you absolute clown 😠 you can't even write a decent sentence and yet here you are talking trash about Iron Maiden!!!
It's "eyes," not "eye's." And it's "I don't believe," not "I don't believes." It's just basic English!
Maybe try actually learning something before you come on here to dump your garbage opinions all over the forum. If you really need help, we'll just have to send Bruce Dickinson to give you some lessons. He’s basically your professor now, you know?
👎 👎 👎 👎 😠
swiftmaker20 said:I might show up in about two weeks... me and a buddy still gotta figure it out... whether we're gonna head out to San Francisco $333 or just stick to New York City... Right now we're leaning toward NYC, but I've got this itch to hit up San Francisco instead. Kind of like what Bill mentioned... 😁
Are you serious? Why would you even bother coming here $333? 😁 I'd much rather you just cover my gas money to get to NYC... 😛 😁
As for Metallica, it’s probably just gonna be all thud-thud-thud and muffled drumming on the edges...
Yeah, Metallica—it’s basically just them screaming at the top of their lungs and hitting things 🙂
come fishy fishy, come little Justin Taylor
Kevin Chavez3 said:So what's the deal then? If they're actually good, why are you still whining about them? 😠
👍 😁
Kevin Chavez3 said:No big deal, just Painkiller - Snake Eyes.
Offtopic - I've been scouring every single search engine out there for three days straight with zero luck. Seriously, if you stumble upon something absolutely genius from now on, please... just keep it to yourself. 🙄 Thanks.

Honestly, I bet you're better at grammar than you are at math. 😁
Michael Mitchell said:Hey, you've got two shots at guessing! But hey, if nothing else, the guy's got a good soul.
Since I don't follow things all that closely, my first thought was actually just... Ante Perković's kids... 🤔>
mayhem said:It’s honestly pretty messed up how certain critics feel entitled to judge every single genre, especially when I see reviews for metal bands
where the writers don't even grasp what style the band actually plays—they just swap it out for something completely different—yet they still get to dish out
their "critique," which basically just shapes what everyone else thinks.
I mean, if you ask me, metal reviewers and those big music sites overrate stuff way too much, especially when it comes to the "legendary" bands. Take Manowar on Rolling Stone, for example:
1982 - Battle Hymns > 10/10
1984 - Hail To England > 9,5/10
1984 - Sign Of The Hammer > 10/10
1987 - Fighting The World > 10/10
1988 - Kings Of Metal > 9/10
1992 - Triumph of Steel > 7,5/10
1996 - Louder Than Hell > 10/10
2001 - Hell On Earth Part 1 DVD > 9/10
2002 - Fire and Blood > 9/10 -
2002 - Warriors of the World > 9/10
2002 - Warriors of the World > 7/10
2002 - Warriors of the World United > DVD 5/10, CD 8/10
2002 - The Dawn of Battle > 6,5/10 Sure, maybe you can give them a pass for the early albums, but after that? In my opinion, nothing justifies scores like these...
There are plenty of other examples too...
Michael Mitchell said:I just don't get one thing. How can you have this music critic who spends all day talking nonsense, acting like some deep philosopher, and being impossible to please... and then they go and start a band that's actually a million times better than all the "good" music they claim to love?
how does that even work?
Is it a specific person or just... what? 😁
This might sound a little out there to you guys:
I actually have a phobia of phone calls! 😲 😁
Kevin Chavez3 said:I mean, he didn't exactly bite the whole arm off right then... but still. 😉
Don't even worry about it, just go ahead and take a bite. You have my permission—mine's already stripped down to the bone. 😁 😉
So, I finally bit the bullet and decided to write something about this album. It was one of the first ones that really pulled me into the world of prog, though honestly, I don't think it belongs strictly in that genre. This thing is a CLASSIC. Everything said above? Yeah, I'm right there with you...
Beyond the fact that the concept is incredible, there isn't a single skip on here. No weak tracks, no filler. Just pure gold.
After spinning this enough times and actually paying attention to the lyrics, I found myself subconsciously singing along to the choruses, and eventually, the whole damn thing. Almost everything they touch has such a catchy hook:
REVOLUTION CALLING, REVOLUTION CALLING
OPERATION: MINDCRIMEEEEEE...
SPEAK THE WORD, THE WORD IS ALL OF US
EVERYBODY NEEEEEEEDS, SPREADING THE DISEEEEEEASE...
MY MISSION, CHANGED The World...
Then you get to that epic suita Sister Mary, and once again, I'm just beltng it out:
DOOOON'T EVER TRUST, DON'T EVER TRUST THE NEEEEDLE, IT LIES
BREAKING THE SILENCE OF THE NIGHT
I DON'T BELIEVE IN LOVE, I NEVER HAVE, I never will
And then, as a closer, maybe even their best track of all time:
INTO The EYES of The Stranger
On top of all that, there's also the live version—Operation : Livecrime—which might just be one of the greatest live albums ever recorded.
(If you guys aren't familiar with Queensryche's stuff, you're probably sitting there wondering what the hell is happening?! Well, welcome to Operation : Mindcrime. MOOOOOOOOOREEEEEEEEEE???!!) 😁
