wordsfromlee Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I had a listen to Black Stallion, the White Pony remix album and it's very mixed. Some of the tracks are brilliant. Like Purity Rings' remix of Knife Prty is cool, as is Mike Shinoda's Passenger, Salva's version of RX Queen and Squarepushers 10-minute long Pink Maggit remix. Then you have stuff like Robert Smith's version of Teenager which is literally just the original song with the drums removed and a couple of piano chords over the top. The shit ones just seem really lazy, like they're only in it for the cash, where as the good ones seem like actual Deftones fans really giving it some. I was really looking forward to DJ Shadow's remix of Digital Bath as I'm a huge Shadow and Digital Bath is one of my favourite Deftones tracks but I was massively underwhelmed. Considering DJ Shadow (along with his stint in UNKLE) was a big player in the trip-hop scene of the mid-90's, and Deftones were massively influenced by trip-hop while making White Pony, I was expecting a lot more. I probably should have had more realistic expectations seeing as DJ Shadow has moved on from that Endtroducing... era of his career, but it would have been so good if he'd gone old school with it. All in all, the good tracks are great, the shit ones are lazy, dull and usually quite abstract. There isn't much in between. Worth a listen, but I doubt any of it would get much of a re-listen in the future. I got a White Pony tattoo a few weeks ago and was tempted to incorporate the Black Stallion one in with it somehow due to it being the 20th anniversary, but I'm glad I decided against it now.

Panhead Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Not sure if there's been any previous discussion on them, but I'm absolutely loving Spiritbox. I really hope they release a full album next year. My Mum was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in August 2018. She's not even 60 yet and she's deteriorated massively since the lockdown in March. The video for Spritbox's Constance really hit home for me. It's an amazing collaboration between band and director. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted January 4, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 4, 2021 Former Children of Bodom frontman Alexi Laiho has died. Was never much of a Bodom guy but no doubt he could play abit.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mal the Glorious Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Legitimately saddened by that, CoB were a big part of me getting into more extreme metal back in the day and they were good fun the couple of times I caught them live. He's looked rough for years but it's still unexpected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted January 4, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted January 4, 2021 Fuck. There was a time between. 07-09 where I was obsessed with Children of Bodom. Hatebreeder and Are You Dead Yet? are two banging albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Awful news, I was a pretty big fan back when I was getting into melodic death metal. They were still good years after others in the genre had turned to shit and were always a fun band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Was big into them in my 20s but haven’t listened to them for a while. Only got the chance to see them one time, which ended up being at a festival, but they played really well that day. He’d been in ill health on & off for a while, but 41 is no age to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mal the Glorious Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Iced Earth's Jon Schaffer photographed storming the Capitol Building. I knew he was right wing and into conspiracies but after reading this... dude is far gone. Shame, I used to really like that band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Same here, I was massively into Iced Earth when I was at uni and had recently been going back through the backcatalogue. He’s never hidden that he was right wing so him being at the protests isn’t a surprise (I think he was at one in November too) but being amongst the gobshites that stormed the place has put him on the black list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyattSheepMask Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 His face has been doing the rounds of people they’re seeking to arrest. If they’re serious about doing so, I’m sure it won’t take them long to find him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
