Not bad. I had reservations from their name, but I found it surprisingly good. 8/10. How was the show?

Those guys are clearly fans of Dream Theater. 7/10
Here's one from one of my favorite bands, Opeth:

Glad you liked it..Paradise Lost is a british band, the one who actually founded gothic metal and they have achieved legendary status among lovers of the genre. They don't have a good reputation concerning their live performances (they always seem like they are bored or something and they never perform more than 90 minutes) but this time they were great.Originally Posted by Mutatis-Mutandi
I keep hearing about Opeth and how good they are. I admit this song was really good 9/10 (i bet it's time i gave them a go).
Here's some darkwave/ electro gothic

I'm not usually into the electronic sound, but that song was definitely interesting and well written. 7/10.
And, thumbs up on the Opeth, also one of my favorite bands--they are just brilliant.
Opeth was my favorite prog-metal band, but these guys have taken the top spot, for now.
I've only recently began getting into these guys. They can get pretty crazy at times. That one seemed like one of their more straightforward songs, for lack of a better term. 9/10
Some old school meta; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlLn0UicWrM.
I actually got to see Joey Beladonna play last week at a local metal club (my buddy's band was also on the bill). Just this dinky little place. So small, you could stand right up against the stage. I was literally two feet away.
i've been laying off this thread since it got into a metal groove simply because it would be so predictable for me to haul in and say something snotty. As a lot of the regulars have failed to contribute, I suspect I'm not the only one to have adopted this approach, which manages to be at once actively accommodating and passively condescending.
Man, it's tough tryna do the right thing.
However, I've had a crap day, and when I'm pissed off, I type.
I think the Anthrax thing is utterly, and irritatingly, formulaic. Then again, I recognise that a lot of the stuff I like is formulaic, and my defence can only be that those formulae don't irritate me. So - objectively - yeah, it does what it's supposed to do. Subjectively, what it's supposed to do doesn't appeal to me. And that singer's sh*t. 3/10
Given the choice between easing us out of the current genre by posting some Alice or Budgie, or hitting the hyperspace button and taking us to another part of the universe, I think I'll go for this. Sociologically indefensible and I don't even like Big Band stuff - but witty, beautifully contrived rhymes, and, man, the voice.
Yeah. We're the ones being condescending. You haven't done that with any of the songs I or anyone else has posted, Mark.
Anyways, I post more than metal. No one's forcing anyone not to post here. I don't see why other regulars wouldn't. Me alone posting metal songs never stopped you guys from ****ting on them.
Anyways....
As to your song, the beginning was hilarious. Laughed out loud. Then the song started. And I really enjoyed it. I've always enjoyed music from that era, not so much for the music itself (which I do enjoy on a certain level--I'd just never buy a CD of it or anything; one or two songs and I've had my fill) but for the history it gives. I feel a strange, far-off connection to this music. I know it's what my father watched when he was a child and what my grandparents always looked forward to. Even now, I remember walking into my late grandfather's shed (his true home) and hearing this music playing. Plus, this song struck me as surprisingly erotic. 9/10.
One of my favorite jazz musicians. I love watching him move while playing. One of the comments offers one of the best descriptions of his music I've read/heard: "HIs playing is occasionally sloppy, his fingers may be clumsy and his technique sometimes lacking, and his ideas not fully thought out, BUT THIS GUY IS OUT OF THIS WORLD. His music is unfathomable truth, so cool, so rockin', the notes so perfectly awkward, the rythyms so perfect."
Excuse me?! That is incredibley insulting. You said, "it's tough trying to do the right thing," but maybe you should try it sometime because that post sure as bloody hell wasn't it. We like metal. How dare you make us feel as though we're doing something wrong by posting it. God, I can't believe someone would actually have the balls to make a post like that.
Anyway. getting back to the topic, I don't listen to it often, but I do like old school jazz. Not the Big Band stuff, but stuff like this is rather palatable. 7/10
Here's one of my favorite songs off my favorite album:

Wait, wait.
I joshingly accuse myself of adopting a condescending approach, and people shout at me?
Anyway, you didn't rate the previous song...

Uh, sorry for stumbling in here, but everything was on track actually, I think.
(Mutatis's link was so big as to be easily missed.)
Oh, yeah - okay. I missed metal's rating - I think because I was so shocked to be told off for making fun of myself.
We will joke around... LIKE BROTHERS!
10/10 (I can't rate it higher, can i? Megadeth happens to be one of the bands i grew up with..watched them live along with the rest of big 4 last summer)

That's all my fault Mark, I misread your post. My sincerest apologies. Something was wrong with me yesterday--my reading comprehension was at an all time low. So, again, sorry 'bout that.
And, I don't have time to properly listen to the above song, so I'll let someone else rate it. I will later when I have more time if it still hasn't been.
