The recent news thing has rekindled my hope that they'll actually release their CD soon. Watching video now . . . EDIT: Video watched. Not as creepy as some other members claimed in the Talkback, but it looked pretty awesome. =)

So you probably know about my music tastes. I want you all to give me recommendations that are similar to what I like.

Dude. I used to respect and listen to a little bit of classic metal, like Metallica, but never liked it at the level of modern metal. Then yesterday I bought Countdown to Extinction by Megadeth on a whim, cuz I liked Sweating Bullets, and discovered that I rly rly like them. They're like Metallica with less repetition added to a little bit of Maiden and a tiny bit of Helmet. So yeah I'm gaining more metalhead points. WHOO

Man, hating bands is such a waste of time and energy. Not to mention it's really upsetting, especially when people are trashing and bashing a band you really like. <.< Oh, and that time and energy is better spent in more important things, like immersing yourself in more of your favorite music (or homework, even). If you don't like a band, that's fine, but don't go around badmouthing them every chance you get. Really, it says a lot more about you than it says about the band you're bashing. To put it bluntly, it makes you look like an inconsiderate fool. Besides, if you don't like a band and I do (and vice versa), it's just a matter of opinion and taste. Trying to prove each other wrong in this regard seems pointless to me. I think it only serves to negatively influence each other's tastes. The reason I'm bringing this up, is that I've been feeling (and reading) an increase in hatred to bands and artists etc. Every time I read it, it makes me cringe. >_<; Sometimes, I also feel like slapping the person with a big fish. And in the end, does it really matter? That all being said, I'm a proud fan of Linkin Park.

Do you play guitar? Do you play an instrument? Do you enjoy beautiful music? Do you like instrumentals? Do you like Jeff Beck? Do you like both rock and orchestral music? Do you like an intermixing of rock and orchestral music? If you answered yes to any of the above, go buy this album.

So, some of you will recall my review of Chinese Democracy, and, when it came out, my quick decision to place Duff McKagan's Sick above it. Well, Slash's solo album is out, and as a fan of Mr. Hudson, Guns N' Roses and assorted harder-rocking vocalists from the last few decades, I've been awaiting Slash and contributor's eponymous solo debut for a while. Let's take a look in, shall we? So, the first track, Ghost starts off in a slightly atypical fashion for a modern rock album. Usually there are two or three bars of some sort of intro, however after one bar at most of snare, the song rockets right in, spearheaded by an immensely catchy beat that'll have some part of you shaking, be it head, foot, hand or anything else, before the end of the song. Also quick in, we get The Cult's vocalist, Ian Astbury, bringing in the vocal line. He does a rather solid job on a song that has an undeniably tight feel, possibly in-part to the reuniting of Slash and former Guns N' Roses guitar cohort Izzy Stradlin. Immediately after the first track, we get treated to a duet between one of the 21st century's strongest advocates for the Les Paul and The Prince Of Darkness, on Crucify The Dead, lead into by the trail of Ghost. This feels a lot like Ozzy's recent work, such as Black Rain, only better, tighter, and more precise. It feels like he's a lot more comfortable singing with a hard rock/metal guitarist who's playing, in a lot of ways, The Blues, with more punch, such as Slash and Tony Iommi in many ways, than he is with the guys like Zakk Wylde who grew up on the metal he recorded, which may have to do with the tighter feel. Track number three is one of the collaborations that drew Slash some flak from the "Rock only!" crowds that gathered around bands like Guns N' Roses as well as those who picked him up from Guitar Hero, Beautiful Dangerous, with Fergie, of the Black-Eyed Peas. I was never much for the Black-Eyed Peas, but ****, if this is the kind of feel her solo work has, then Fergie, please focus on your solo career, this is one of the stand-out tracks on the album to me, from Slash playing his usual kicking guitar to Fergie's surprisingly edgy vocal, this is a great track, and hopefully will shut everyone who attacked him for this colab up. The fourth track, Back From Cali, sung by Alter Bridge vocalist Myles Kennedy, is a great song that, to me at least, evokes feelings from GNR, while still staying very distinct from Slash's old band. That said though, there was something about it that just didn't fit with it. Maybe it was the abbreviating California as Cali, which I find pretentious, I'm not sure, but even so, other than that, this is a fairly solid track, though in my opinion one of the weaker so far. Promise, featuring Chris Cornell of Audioslave and Soundgarden, is one I will say now is going to get radio airplay. I'm not a huge fan of Cornell's voice, however there's something about this song that's infectious, you can't get him singing the chorus out of your head, and it's not a terrible thing either, as this is a surprisingly good song, coming from someone who doesn't usually like Chris Cornell's vocals. Track six of fourteen, By The Sword, as sung by Wolfmother's Andrew Stockdale, is the first single for the album, and much like the above, I predict airplay for. Similar to the first track, it has an infectious groove, a solo that doesn't feel like it's trying to reach out, punch you, throw you to the ground, wrestle you, and all while you enjoy it while still retaining that feeling of bad***, and the harmony between an overdriven Gibson and Stockdale is done beautifully. On a somewhat unrelated note, I can't stop seeing Omar Rodríguez-López when I try to think of Andrew. Lucky number seven, Gotten, with Adam Levine of Maroon Five, is probably one of the mellower if not the mellowest track on the album, featuring nearly unnoticeable clipping on the man with Top hat and sunglasses' guitar until about 3:05, a string section, and I think I heard a piano somewhere. This has many elements of a modern pop song while still having a feel of great music rather than feeling stale and manufactured as a lot of auto-tuned I-IV-V progression modern pop-rock songs do, for the third time in a row, I smell airtime. In a funny twist, going from that mellowy bit, we launch into one of the hardest tracks on the record, Doctor Alibi, featuring the legendary man of less blood and more booze in his BAC himself, Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead on bass and vocals. This song is basically Lemmy's life story, and for a while, Slash's. '"How is it doc?" "You're torturing your body. Get yourself under control." "Screw you." "Your funeral." "I'm singing and it's making me feel better!" "How is my patient not dead yet?"' An addicting hard rock/metal number, this gets back to the heavy, kicking feel of the album. Track nine, featuring nobody whatsoever on vocals, is Watch This, an instrumental featuring a trio of Slash, the impeccable Dave Grohl on drums, and another former GNR cohort whom I've praised, Duff McKagan, on bass. This song is currently set as my ringtone, as, in three words, it kicks ***. Can't really say much else about it. Also, I swear I've heard this for weeks now, where else has it been? I feel like it was in a phone ad...on a comedic note, due to a bad ID3 tag on a lot of early copies, rather than Watch this (Feat. Dave Grohl & Duff McKagan), many early releases have this song labeled as Watch This Dave (Grohl & Duff McKagan). Number ten, we get I Hold On. This song features Kid Rock on vocals. I'll say it now; I do not like Kid Rock. He annoys me. A lot. He's not unlistenable, but there's just something about him that irks me too much to like him. Maybe it's the way his voice is always rasping, but not as sweetly as Rod Stewart or Steven Tyler, or maybe it's his personality, or his cover of Sweet Home Alabama driving me mad. Either way though, Kid Rock almost brings this into last for me on the album, however I love Slash's solo on this song, so it's saved from that for me. Also, this feels like some sort of 1970's band I forget the name of, any ideas? Nothing To Say, featuring M. Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold is eleventh on this album. This song is right up with Doctor Alibi for heaviest track on the album, and shows that, despite being, by his own admission, a Bluesman at heart, the Cat In The Hat knows how to play modern metal. Surprisingly, I like this track, despite the fact that I dislike a lot of modern metal on the principle of liking vocals I can understand. In spot twelve, we get Starlight, also featuring Miles Kennedy. This a fairly common "Clean verse/rocking chorus/verse/chorus/solo/wash-rinse-repeat" rock song, but is enjoyable nonetheless. Not much else here. Second to last is Saint Is A Sinner Too with indie rocker Rocco DeLuca, who sounds like a woman, on vocals, on what is a mostly acoustic track, a nice, pleasant way to lead to the end of the album. This really is a great acoustic song, and is a nice one to relax to while still having some pep and energy, especially near the end. Once more making a transition from mellow to hard-rocking, we get right into the last track, the Iggy Pop-sung We're All Gonna Die. This is basically an energetic, "Screw life, we're all going down in the end, let's have some fun!" type of anthemic song, again, not really much to say here, it's a great song, but simple too. There are other songs on deluxe editions I'll probably get from friends, but my disc was just the standard copy, so I'm just looking over the 14 tracks. Overall, it does have moments that aren't the best in Slash's career, but all-in-all, for the kind of person who loves the kind of straightforward rock-and-roll that Slash promised with this album, it delivers in full force, with a great mix of rockers, metally bangers, fun little numbers and chartable singles. With great, diggable grooves throughout, an excellent feel, artists ranging from pop singers to rappers to modern metal vocalists to indie lady-sounding guys, this album has everything you'd look for in a rock record, and something for everyone. Axl, get back into the studio and call us in three decades, because if Chinese Democracy is what you do with one-and-a-half and Slash can still top it this well, you're going to need another fifteen years on the follow-up to deserve to wear the banner of Guns N' Roses as if it was your band instead of Slash, Izzy, Duff, Steven, and your band.

Got the remastered version of Disturbed's "The Sickness". Started off pretty much exactly the same, but the evidence of remixing became a little more evident after a while.

I was at Kamelot's concert in Paradiso, Amsterdam last night and they were amazing as always. They mostly played familiar songs, but they also played a couple of new songs. New songs were amazing, although I can only remember one title: The Great Pandemonium. Older songs were (not in order): - Ghost Opera - When the Lights Are Down - Memento Mori - March of Mephisto - The Haunting (Somewhere in Time) - Nights of Arabia (instrumental interlude, with belly dancer) - Season's End - The Pendulous Fall - Rule the World - EdenEcho - Moonlight - Center of the Universe - Farewell And one or two other songs. All in all, a very entertaining evening. And apparently, they'll release a new concert DVD with footage from their current Pandemonium Over Europe tour. New album is expected to come out in July.

I won't be online on Saturday and a large part of Sunday, due to a serious case of Kamelotian ownage. In other words: I'll be going to a concert by the great metal band Kamelot.
