Hey everyone, quick question for the group—I’m currently using a Mastercard through my student banking package. I was wondering, am I still able to buy things on an installment plan if my checking account happens to be overdrawn?

uf, man, I honestly wish I could hit up every single one of these shows xD. But if I had to pick, I’m definitely most hyped for Nightwish and Eluveitie. They are such an incredible band; I was totally hooked from the very first time I heard them🙏
@Paul Mitchell98/">@@Paul Mitchell98 - just a heads-up, heavy metal is really more of an "umbrella term." It technically refers to heavy metal as its own specific subgenre, but most people just use it to describe the whole metal scene in general

Good old-fashioned rock'n'roll, man. Such an incredible band.

Nah, I don't see it going anywhere. Music is just baked into our DNA at this point. As long as there are people breathing, there’s gonna be music.

Also, is it just me, or are we basically the only people in the States who actually say "Music" instead of some weird variation of "tunes" or whatever?🙄

Anger is a total disaster, there’s no debating that, but what really gets under my skin is how people constantly trash Load, Reload, and Garage Inc. Those records are actually solid; they’re packed with some seriously great tracks if you give them a chance. Plus, everyone seems to forget that during that whole "bad era," they put out S&M, which is easily one of the greatest live albums in metal history.

The early stuff is obviously top-tier, peak thrash. 🙏

I’m hoping the new record turns out way better than Anger, though I don't expect it to be a carbon copy of their old style. Back then, they were just kids, fueled by punk energy and that whole anarchy vibe. There was just more fire in them. These days, they've got kids of their own, which has definitely mellowed them out a bit.

Yeah, Hetfield's vocals aren't what they used to be, but they sound more mature now. I actually caught a video recently where his voice sounded almost fully recovered (can't remember the link though).

At the end of the day, they're a legendary band. Mad respect to them. 👍

P.S.: Lars isn't a bad drummer by any means. He might be a bit of a jerk personally, but his sense of rhythm is rock solid.

EDIT: Just realized this...

Edward Bishop78 said:It would probably be better if they just stopped releasing music altogether. From everything I'm hearing, it sounds like they're just sticking to that Metallica emo sound and staying emo forever.

Metallica emo? Are you kidding me? What are you even talking about, man?

Man, do you actually know the history of hip hop?? Have you even listened to a decent amount of artists??!!? Look, if hip hop isn't your vibe, that's totally fine, it doesn't bother me... but why the "unfortunately" bit?? Personally, it breaks my heart that people would rather bump 50 Cent than actual lyrical hip hop legends like Rakim, KRS-One, Das EFX, or the Wu-Tang Clan...

Alright, I see where you're coming from. You've got a point, but like you mentioned, most people gravitate toward the mediocre representatives of those genres, so those big names end up becoming the face of the whole movement.

It’s honestly kind of depressing how pop, rap, and nu-metal are basically running the show right now, but here in the States, we've also got that whole country music scene dominating everything, which just makes me want to cry...

Seriously, where is the world even heading anymore? Just look at this list—there isn't a single shred of decent rock or metal to be found. But hey, I guess whatever. At least we've got new stuff coming from AC/DC and Metallica later this year to look forward to.
