I love him in all three of his albums, I'm such a fan boy over his vox in Arch Enemy haha; Stigmata was great too, Black Earth just had its moments lol

what is it about us hispanics that just love his style; everyone else is full of shit about it I like some stuff, but I miss his epic delivery; I don't know how anyone else can't see the passion in his work; sucks he hasn't done vocals like that since

ah dude, yes, saw your vocal thread; Liiva in Dead Inside fucking owns -well I like all of his work with Arch Enemy haha-

The Virtuoso wrote on Oct 10th, 2009 at 3:29pm : Okay, what makes you a more, "capable" observer of music then, you seem like a fairly intelligent person who is merely full of himself and his grasp of metal and its greatness, I mean seriously are you that blind to see that your musical taste doesn't overshadow anyone else's taste?

Since when does "blind" enter into the question? Are you deaf?

Yeah, definitely. Video game composers and movie composers are responsible for lots of really, really great classically oriented music, but they're often overlooked simply because they compose for movies and games, which is really a shame.

I'm listening to Be, by PoS, right now. I'm really impressed with their sound. I'm a sucker for concept albums :

Uh, wtf did you just say?

Alright, will do

Thrash is the only genre of metal I haven't looked into yet...

Long journey of Businesses, getting scammed, school, crazy working, girlfriends, drugs, adventures and all the other fascinations of life...

and wow, after looking though your favorite books and bands, especially the bottom part of that list containing Sigur Ros, Yndi Halda, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, I am convinced that we could probably get along pretty well!

quote

Haha, well, I really don't post too often, but I'm on here all the time, just browsing the forums, constantly searching for that elusive cure for boredom.

Yeah man, thrash and shred is like all i live for. I'm totally guitar crazy. I usually play 6-12 hours a day and that Jeff Loomis video is beautiful. I think it may have even topped the Gilbert 1985 Guitar Wars video which i have been in love for the longest time.

quote

I have not.

quote

Really? I always felt that Loomis was more challenging because it's not as melodic or pattern oriented. More along the lines of "Mindless shred" for lack of better words.
Like most of Becker's work is more classical sounding and you can sort of tell where the arpeggios are going to go and what's up next but Loomis is just like one brand new thing after another.

quote

Nice taste yourself there man. Theres some names on your band list I've forgotten about, time to go hunting.
