For some reason I've never been big on Godspeed. Storm is up there on my list of epic songs though.

They (godspeed) do the epic thing right, IMO.

Oh yes, that's right. They're back on some like 10-12 date tour? I heard that from my mate, I think.

+1

I saw them a while back in Madison, but I had to choose between the first DVD and the Holy ground package. But I will GET IT! I tried to entice them to the Dwarf side with a Robot Devil, but did not hear back from them.

To me they always seemed to have a lot of potential, but the songs never go anywhere. Also, I get sick of the "weird guy talking about stuff while the music builds" formula pretty fast.

Well they are called Mono.... :p

I've never heard this band before, but I like what I'm hearing. :)

The "solo" @ 3:00 hurts sooooooooooooooo good.
