I was never down with The Sickness. I guess they had their Hay Day though. God damn Numetal early 00s.

I was definitely more into bands like Nothing face, Acid Bath, and Transport League.
Back then I was listening to the Big 4 but mostly to bands like Benediction and Monstrosity.

Nothing Face sounds a little familiar. Early 00's was a lot of melodic death metal type stuff for me, along with skate (and adjacent) punk that I started getting into during the mid 90's.


Yeah, same era. I had a buddy in college who was a big metalhead, and he turned me on to most of those bands, including In Flames. They actually have a really good cover of Deep Purple's Burn.

I just haven't listened to a lot of that stuff in eons. Honestly don't listen to that much metal anymore except for odd occasions. Doesn't mean I still don't enjoy it when I do though.

A buddy of mine shared this strange band called Electric Callboy with me. I'm describing it as a mix between EDM, Marilyn Manson & Ramstein. I'm digging it.



So because he shared that with me, I dug into them a little more. They actually did a track with BabyMetal, the Japanese band.



BabyMetal rules. I got a chance to see them live while I was in Japan back in 2018, but I passed on the concert because I was a tired bitch. I still really enjoy their stuff. This is off of their last album.

All good. I was bit by the Sickness in a Sam Goody in 2000 and have never looked back.

What's up with Sleep Token, what's their whole shtick? Haven't really listened to much of their music. Appears the fans are Sleep Token or nothing else.

Y'all know I am a TOOL junkie, but I would never go around trying to explain the Fibonacci sequence to anyone. Because that person doesn't give a fuck, and, personally I just enjoy their music and I don't want them to get anymore popular. It's fucking insane with fucking merch. I am going to Sessanta on May 10th, Danny Carey's B Day. Only reason I know that, was my first TOOL show was on May 10th and we sang happy birthday and he treated us to some chocolate chips. ;) KRA KRA KRA KRA KRA KRA KRA TOOL is imho one of the greatest of all time, imho.

Yeah, even Maynard addressed the Fibonacci sequence and he, himself said tool fans are morons because that's not the case. Tool has some amazing work but their fans are fucking insufferable.

Sleep Token is all over the place with their shit. They're a great groove with plenty of heavy riffs but their slow shit is just that...shit. I'm talking the slow slow shit.

And I do agree TOOL fans can be very very annoying. For the most part though, they are pretty cool, but ravenous when it comes to merch.... I can honest to little baby Jesus that not all TOOL fans are TOOL extremist. They are my favorite band and their shows are spectacular. We'll see how Sessanta stacks up to non-Knotfest Manson. My roommate already got tickets to the Myrtle Beach show (sigh), I wish he would have let me known first because I think the next show in Charlotte would be better, because Manson has like 3-4 days off to binge. I remeber Knotfest Japan 2016 and Manson jump into the crowd right on us. We were at the front of every act we saw. You can feel the pressure from the mosh pit, I liked it too tidal forces. Then your watching the act and the Security so you know when your about to get a foot to the head from crowd surfers. Oh yeah he was a little chunky in 2016, wasn't the lightest person I've caught, luckily my two buddies were right beside me. He also cuts himself on the hand with a razor during the show as well.

He opened with.... what a fucking great way to start the show!

I don't know how anyone likes Marilyn Manson. I've seen him twice when he opened for Alice in Chains and again with Slipknot and he was fucking terrible both times. You could tell he did not want to be on stage. He would constantly walk off stage, he'd come back bang the mic on his podium causing ear piercing feedback and fuck off off stage again. He's fucking terrible live.

As far as moshes go... You haven't seen shit till you've been to a Slayer concert and been in the "Wall of death"
