Do you guys have a minute to talk about how badass STYX was?

[casecandy]

I'm with Jwar on this one

It was at that moment that casecandy knew

he fucked up

[Jwar]

Dude Collective Soul has a ton of talent. I don't care what anyone says. They are a great band. I need music that makes me smile sometimes and relaxes me. I save the growls for the gym.

[casecandy]

I respect you so much.

You know if you listen for it there's the main riff from the Live At Leipzig version of "Pure Fucking Armageddon" that sounds kindof like a sped-up version of the first part of the riff from "Where The River Flows"

Illuminati. Fucking. Confirmed.

Except they recorded that almost a decade before that collective soul album came out.....

It allows itself to just be the platonic ideal of music that people learned how to play on silver Ibanez guitars in rural trailer parks in the late '90s after they'd moved on from Nirvana but weren't quite ready for Coal Chamber and Hed PE yet.

One of my very earliest musical discoveries was that the intro to Loco was, basically, just tuning a guitar. I was, I think, eight?

Well yeah did you think that I actually thought I had confirmed the presence of the Illuminati based on this

I didn't like a whole lot of nu metal. Most of it was garbage. I did like coal chamber though. their first two, the first mudvayne, and the first two slipknots were about the extent of what i could even call listenable.....I was living in central florida at the time so as far as live music went if you weren't going to a hardcore or screamo show you pretty much had to sit through your fair share of NM stuff if you wanted to see anything remotely heavy.


Aaaanywaaaay so in like 2013 coal chamber got back together and some friends and i saw that they were playing in town so i went and got blackout drunk. They started the set off with LOCO and the whole things was delightfully stupid and nostalgic. I had a good time yelling at everyone about the roof and it being on fire and letting it burn, motherfucker.

[D.o.S.]

Yeah that sounds about square to my experience (but without the central floridian-ness of it all).

Though i did get to watch steve brooks and the rest of FLOOR get booed of the stage at a mortician show. So theres that.

You live in the Mecca of -core and you choose to seek out nü-metal... we are truly different species

I didn't say that. I said that in order to see anything heavy that wasn't part of the hardskram scene you had to sit through nu metal. For example, in order to see morbid angel i had to sit through soulfly. in order to see deicide i had to see union underground. All together i actually ended up seeing FLAW on every professional tour of their career and i got to see THE DEADLIGHTS on the only tour of theirs. God those guys were fucking terrible.

Eh, my dad liked Collective Soul and Live and a few others, so we listened to them every once in a while. Soul Asylum also had that video for Runaway Train that they played with local missing kids (dependent on your area) in it, and they found a bunch of kids just from people watching the video.

Can I stand them now? Only in a nostalgic way.

Also, no matter how hard I try, my brother listened to this album so damn much that I will never forget the lyrics to it. EVER.
