Hmm.. Just want to ask, is anyone here going to:

Warbringer Live In Malaysia - 21st May 2010 - Number One Cafe, Jln Tuanku Abdul Rahman

and

Kuala Lumpur Rock Festival 2010 (featuring Hirax, Wolf, Bullet, The Iron Maidens, Fastkill) - 28th to 30th May 2010 - Stadium Merdeka(?) <<< This one confirm ke?

Flyer:






Thanks, buddy. Inform us for updates, ok?

Nope. I was a Music Zone last Wednesday. Since the album was just released in Europe, hopefully in two weeks it reach us. Well actually, depends on where the store source the album because if I'm not mistaken Exhibit B will be released mid of May in US. I saw Exhibit A and Let There Be Blood at Music Zone once. Therefore, there is a chance it will be brought in. Online is the best option, but I worry "kena tahan di Kastam" problem.

Agreed!


Acoustic? Huh.. They don't mind putting CDs at high prices. We understand their reason, some CDs are imported via internet or by foreign suppliers (mostly Singapore). But it's funny when customers mention about high price, they quickly suggest that they can copy the CD to CDR for RM20. So imagine with rare titles, they got lot of profits by duplicating the originals. I don't know whether they still doing that or not. Oh well.. It just business.

When I was in record store business, "Best Buy" Cds and "Remasters" and "Reissues" CDs were all around RM 38-RM49.. and those were from local suppliers.

As for kedai "Auntie", anybody with Google skills can be so called "Metal Expert" these days. Sometimes I think that she's trying too much to blend in. Again, it just business. If you want to sell something, you have to know your products. Can't really blame her. Actually "Uncle" knows a lot of 80s Hard Rock and Heavy Metal bands. But really choosy on customer he wants to talk about it. Some of old metallers named it (Sifu Syndrome).

As for Khannaz boys' shop.. I like the shop because he never bother asking you "Mau cari CD apa?".. They just let you do your browsing. For me, when I enter a CD store, I'm not a fan of people following me and asking me what CD that I'm looking for. I mean, leave me alone, man. I can help myself. I like to browse each rows of the CD section to make sure I don't miss anything. Hehehe.

It's hard to find good CD store nowadays. I miss the old days. You have to be rajin in surveying. Best bet is to be friend with fellow listeners. You might get lucky when old timers decide to sell some of their stuff. Second hand market not bad either.

Oh.. For those who looking for second hand turntables can check at Mudah.my.

This thread currently with 28,547 views. Started in 2008. Not bad!

Sonisphere 2010!
Sadly Heaven & Hell has to withdraw, though.

James is alright now. Lars still a douche with Napoleon Complex.

Interesting. Let me know as well.

In mean time, I'm gearing towards Thrash Domination 2010 (fingers crossed)

Yup. I'm a huge fan. You can't go wrong with Testament. Great band, great music and great legacy. One unfairly underrated bands out there. The partnership between Eric Peterson and Alex Skolnick, while not as flashy as Hammet and Hetfield, Mustaine and ________ (insert names), still stay true to metal roots and philosophy. While Chuck Billy.. What can I can I say.. Never a dull moment. Great live band too.

Check out the first four albums: The Legacy, The New Order, Practice What You Preach and Souls Of Black. Of course, don't forget The Formation Of Damnation.

While for Heavy Metal, if you graduated with Iron Maiden, then the logic choice is, what else other than the mighty Judas Priest.

Good luck.

Get your gear ready folks, this is going to be a blast.

Can't go wrong on Carcass.


After so called "The Big Four", the next logical choice are Testament, Overkill, Annihilator, Heathen, Death Angel, Forbidden, Nuclear Assault, Artillery, Sacred Reich.. list goes on....
Try Teutonic Thrash such as Destruction,Kreator, Sodom too
Those are good list. Try 'em all. Well, most of it. Check youtube if you're not sure.

In mean time, enjoy this

The first five albums = must have.

While talking about Overkill, check out "Rat Skates - Born in the Basement", a documentary from Overkill founder, uh duh.. Rat Skates. The trailer should be on Youtube.

Great minds think alike

Not really into sludge and so called groove metal. However, try Graveyard Rodeo, Weedeater, Outlaw Order, Buzzov*en, Arson Anthem, Cancer Bats, Acid Bath, Artimus Pyledriver. A friend who listens to EHG has wide collection of those bands. Cancer Bats more to Hardcore Punk than Sludge/Southern Metal though.

I'm a sucker for good old melodic solos, let see if I can remember some:
Death - A Moment Of Clarity
Death - Zero Tolerance
Death - Symbolic
Death - 1000 Eyes
Vital Remains - Dechristianize
At The Gates - Cold
Obituary - Find the Arise
Entombed - Left Hand Path
Carcass - Buried Dreams
Carcass - No Love Lost
Cynic - How Could I

While nothing special, I always like Bolt Thrower - The IVth Crusade and Pestilence - Twisted Truth solos
Quite sure there are bunch of awesome solos out there.

Sweet! Better see them before Joey Belladonna.. well.. leaves again.

Yo rEds! Crashdiet pictures please.

Thanks. Awesome pics. Glad you had a good time there.

Yeah, in 2005, Dave Lepard (RIP) and the rest of Crashdiet were here for holiday, and shot promo for a telco here in KL. Dave was quoted saying his holiday in Malaysia as the most exciting thing that has happened since being in Crashdiet.

Found it.

Not bad, thanks.

Good choices.
Now may I add....Exciter (try Unleashed in the East version), Delivering the Goods, Electric Eye, Screaming for Vengeance, Blood Red Skies and The Sentinel.
My favourite album is Sad Wings of Destiny.

Yo Cradle! Sorry I missed the post. Have a kickass time. High 5 Lemmy for us.

Dang! Carcass!
