i just dug up this corpse to say i saw them live last thursday in LA. they were epic. if you get a chance to catch them on this tour they are still in their prime. The setlist is epic, all the old favs, and helps the new album is pretty frikkin good, and they are playing smallish venues that they are waaayy to good to be playing. http://www.laweekly.com/slideshow/the-darkness-kick-off-their-tour-at-the-fonda-theatre-9310510/45

im gonna hit up the LA show in april. it would be epic if glenn showed since he did for the new york area shows. even if he dosent, its still gonna be kickass....i mean cmon, they're playing saints in hell, didnt know rob still had it in him.

Ha. Back when I was getting hardcore into older music I asked my dad (who pretty much saw everyone who was great from '68-'78) about them and he said "they sucked". Years later when I finally got into them*, and I slipped some of their tunes in his mp3 player and he told me he liked the stuff...and he asked who are they? I told him it was maiden and priest, and I was like WTHell, you said you didn't like them years ago? He says "like them? I never heard them! i thought they were a religious band and a chick band! *thanks to metallica covering bits of their tunes (i was collecting their live bootlegs). hilariously, it was dad who converted me to metallica (took the dive cause he liked the 'Justice' album cover)!

I ignored 2 years of HS Spanish and then went with ENG1B Lit and Composition... ...just so I could stare blankly to comments such as these. Thus, I am truly a gaijin.

....Samurai Bun!

I'd be lying if I said no.........so, no. ..so whatthe hell are you saing no to...isometric mudpuddles or floating chicken mcnuggets?

Rent reduction for not adding any new nail holes to the premises! I'd feel sorry for the Jazz.....but not as long as their name is 'the jazz', while their logo is a freaking mountain.

Bad picture.... good Laker solidarity.

I know I'm threadshitting at this point, but another board had this...totally cosmic timing: straight dope bbs

Their keyboard tones sounded like ass, the lyrics were blargh, and the drummer was too fill-happy. Other than that, they were pretty rockin!!

Echo & The Bunnymen - Show of Strength stupid name, great band

Opeth is awesome band. Unfortunately the cookiemonster singer fucks up the music. There needs to be a formal term for this singing issue.....maybe 'The Corgan/Mustaine Syndrome'.

They invented the term 'best song with the worst solo ever'. ...or I invented it, and they inspired it. yea.
