I love music, predominately rock music, but I became bored with it. For some reason, I can't quite put my finger on, this band struck a chord with me.
The image this band has, doesn't fit with the music they play.
Check wiki out to read about them.

I've seen a lot written about them, and have been intending to check them out for a while, and you're right about that. :eek:

Oh them! right, I know who you're talking about now. Yes, they're getting the promo push atm.
Honest opinion? Sounds like a lightweight Blue Oyster Cult tribute band. Pleasant enough sounding but not worth the hype. I think the disguises & deliberate obscuring of who they are is rather clever though. It makes people curious.
I'll give that a listen in a bit. I'm checking out more Orange Goblin - The Fog atm.
Where does the 'stoner' bit come in? Just sounds like early 70s metal to me. Oooo, got Shine on now. I think they just went back to '68 lol
right, ignore my previous question about 'stoner' . Three minutes in & it's obvious this track is best enjoyed with copious quantities of Red Leb & some sandalwood burning in the background
Also, can some kind person explain to me how you put a link on that simply says the name of the artist and song? I just tried it for ten mins and couldn't figure it out.

Do you have the new Tomahawk CD? I've not picked it up so far. I loved the first one, the second had it's moments, and I never bothered with Anonymous. It's not really hard rock, but I always thought this was pretty intense on head phones (particularly the end).
Which song/s got you into this sort of music? I grew up listening to irish, country, soul and pop but one day a lad at school played me Phantom of the Opera - Iron Maiden, i had never heard anything like it, i was hooked after that.
I was enjoying that one up until the chrous, i am trying really hard but just not warming to them
He was still finding his voice back then, bless him. He was never meant to be the vocalist - joined the band as the keyboard player. The band wanted to do a demo but they hadn't got around to getting a singer, so the others got him to do the vocals, as he'd written the songs. The intention was to get a singer at a later date but it kept getting put off.

Anon was a bit odd, i agree. But the new one Oddfellows is more like the first two. I highly recommend it.
Mr Bungle's The Bends. What a track. That end bit you speak of, i've always had this thought of a guy breaking into a house, and instead of calling the cops, just play that end part at full volume.

Ah Ghost, interesting band:D

I like it, though.

It just strikes me as artificial though.
There's a Paris Hilton thread out there ffs :eek:
Ignore them & play some metal?
Yup :cool:
and Red Fang http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgV7hnjoyt0
I liked both of those. Especially the Orange Goblin. It was like a trip back to the 70s
I thought the funny Red Fang video was better than the song tbh.

Mr. Bungle - The Bends http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auf2kXy8P94
First up, one from their first demo, recorded 2001 (I think)
The Hammer Has Fallen I can't get over that voice coming out of a 21 year old :eek:
From their first album Metalizer - Burn Your Crosses
Then they discovered war.
Primo Victoria (D Day)
Attero Dominatus - The fall of Berlin
Cliffs Of Gallipoli "There is no enemy, there is no victory. Only boys who lost their lives in the sand"
Passchendaele - The Price Of A Mile "Six miles of ground has been won. Half a million men are gone.....What's the price of a mile?"
Uprising - The Warsaw uprising 1944.
The battle for Stalingrad
Screaming Eagles US paratroops at the battle of the Bulge. Try headbanging to this one & your head will fall off
Now we go back to the 17th century & the rise & fall of the Swedish empire, from their latest album Carolus Rex
Lion From The North
Title track Carolus Rex
And I'll end with a couple of fun pieces from earlier albums. See how many metal references you can spot
Metal Machine
Metal Crue
You're welcome

It was a big hit for them in Sweden - got to no1 in 2008 :cool:
When's the last time a metal track did that here?
Cheers for that.
