Paid Members CuckedByMenry Posted August 10, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted August 10, 2012 Because (for the umpteenth fucking time) people who pay to see a band shouldn't be ostracised if they haven't heard a certain song. It's not "banter", it's disrespectful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted August 10, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted August 10, 2012 ok, we'll leave it at that, you are clearly upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members CuckedByMenry Posted August 10, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted August 10, 2012 Â Hardly upset, laddo, just bemused as to why you continue to defend someone who is clearly a twat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted August 10, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted August 10, 2012 because twat or not, he's still f'n awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Fuck Anselmo and the new Down tracks are laughably bad. Â Anyway, there is a new Tom Waits MV out and it's fantastic. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Up Chuck Posted August 11, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted August 11, 2012 because twat or not, he's still f'n awesome. Â I guess that's the thing. You like him, so you're happy to hear stuff like that, whereas I'm ambivalent about him, so I thought made him sound like a tit. So each to their own. I'm all for a bit of fired-up banter - I've enjoyed Dillinger Escape Plan and Slipknot sets with plenty of that - but I just thought it made him sound like a wanker and would be a bit of a shitty thing for someone who'd just got into the band to hear (even though they probably wouldn't be bothered - if it were me, I'd just frown and shake my head). Â Anyway. I think we can let that lie now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefallenangel Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 For anyone who even thinks Jesse is better than Howard, please catch a re-run of Scuzz at Download. Jesse's version of end of heartache isn't a scratch on Howards. I respect it's not his song but christ, Howard is just better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted August 12, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted August 12, 2012 yeh, i prefer Howard Jones as a vocalist. He's 100% better live for sure. Â Having said that on his own material Jesse sounds great on record too, the Times of Grace album was excellent and im anticipating the new Killswitch Engage album.

KingOfMetal Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) I've always thought that Killswitch Engage were a ropey live band anyways, but that version of 'End Of Heartache' was the shits. I still find it complete bull that they held 'open' auditions for a new vocalist, and then went and picked Jesse anyway. "Jesse auditioned like everybody else", yeah, course he did. The whole thing was probably a ruse to get fans to post vids on youtube and have a laugh at them.  In other news, fresh off of playing Bloodstock, Testament have announced a UK tour for November in support of their fantastic 'The Dark Roots Of Earth' album: Nov. 27 – Glasgow Garage Nov. 28 – Wolverhampton Wulfrun Hall Nov. 29 – Manchester HMV Ritz Nov. 30 – London KOKO  tickets go onsale at 9am tomorrow Edited August 14, 2012 by KingOfMetal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingOfMetal Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 October through December is always a ballache because everyone seems to come over at the end of the year. Last year I had Volbeat, Manowar, Alice Cooper and Opeth all playing within a couple of weeks of eachother. i wanted to go to all of them but had to pick and choose and went with Volbeat as I hadn't seen them live before and Manowar because its probably the last chance to see them in England because the tour won't have made much money due to their ridiculous operating costs and financial demands, I don't want to have to go to mainland Europe to see them everytime. This year I've got Opeth again and Devin Townsend/Fear Factory a month later and the Testament dates fall right between the two, and I'm sure someone else is going to announce some dates just to make things that little it more annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted August 14, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted August 14, 2012 yeh im thinking of taking in a Fear Factory/Devin Townsend show too.  ! obviously people are interested because of the Bullet My Valentine factor, but i quite like it.

He never gives a vocal performance with any kind of gusto and has a face that you could never get tired of hitting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
