I saw Maiden earlier this tour and they blew me away. Excellent show.

I really like this one. A few others mentioned this but I hear the bass a lot more clearly in this song compared to others. The song actually reminds me a bit more of classic AB than it does Slash.

Some thoughts on some comments here. I too don't understand why some "rock" radio stations are more willing to play Ed Sheeran more than AB (cough* WMMR in Philly). Now I give Ed Sheeran credit, he is better than a lot of the garbage on pop radio (programmed drums, snaps, claps, monotone)...

I wonder how many people see that and immediately think one? I think the answer is 19, but then again, I haven't used my math brain in like five years. I ditched my math brain for more analyzing and logic brain. It actually is 1 because the -3 isn’t in parenthesis. If the equation was written (-3)^...

I’ve seen Skillet headline an arena event in front of around 8,000 people lol

I’ll always be here for you buddy.

Why

Mark tends to come up with a lot of melodies and write music over that. 90% is me exaggerating but I think it makes the most sense that Mark wrote a lot of the music while Stapp added lyrics to it.

I would bet Mark wrote like 90% of the vocal melodies and Stapp mainly wrote lyrics.

Tremonti can be a band as long as Mark is in it. I love Erock and GW, but it’s Mark’s solo project at the end of the day.

You guys know what would be cool? If someone, like, say, a new mod who hangs out in here changes the artwork and backgrounds on the forum to reflect the new album artwork and keep this place up to date! Doesn't that require minimum coding skills, even if it's finding out what hex codes to change th...

Keeping my eyes out for a new single tomorrow now lol

Tool - Fear Inoculum What do you think, man? I like the bit in the middle where they do a polyrhythm between Jones and Chancellor and the outro obviously, but other than that, a pretty typical Tool track. Yeah that’s pretty much my line of thinking on it as well. Get a bit of a vibe like Reflection...

Tool - Fear Inoculum

I’m so screwed.

I was told that PNC Pavilion in Charlotte is a nightmare for parking and I spent about 5 minutes getting in and about 10 minutes leaving. I was shocked lol.

I actually like this one a good bit. It’s better than Unleashed and has a lot of pretty good stuff. I liked the pre-album singles (Save Me is a standout) and I really enjoy Terrify the Dark as well as Back to Life and the title track. Collide through Awake will probably always be my favorite era of ...

The Other Side is about religious extremist groups I’m pretty sure.

I really don't know why they haven't done this yet. They do those guitar battles at live shows. Incorporate something like that into a song!

Thanks, guys!

Glad to have done my small part.

^ It’s not that the song can’t be political. It’s just that the song could literally be about anyone that holds power in society and the masses ignore their corruption. That could be a greedy business owner, a boss that mistreats its employees, a cruddy record label...and yes, a political figure. I ...

Alright so I’ll share my interpretation of the song or at least how I’m relating it to currently. It’s a very deliberate kind of a connection which I have formed with the song and it may not make sense, lol. I have this friend of mine who has been brainwashed by these people into joining a Network ...
