I liked it all up until Voldemort. He was... underwhelming, to say the least. I never say the least, though, and as such I will reveal that I was hoping for the nurse to come along and take him back to the cancer ward where all the other kids on chemotherapy were resting. No offense meant to people with or relatives/friends with cancer, but that is seriously the first thought I came up with. I saw The Brothers Grimm. Not as good as I expected, but still pretty good compared to non-Terry Gilliam movies.

Master of Puppets and One are before The Black Album, jackass. And yes, all of those are better than Enter Sandman, Unforgiven, Nothing Else Matters, etc. will someone please explain to me how a band that hardly ever gets any air time is a sellout? they sell albums but get next to no air time. why? quality. they are a touring band that sell records based on word of mouth. it is easy to overrate excellence. and if Metallica is overrated, so be it. No air time. Right, because I don't have the videos for Enter Sandman, Nothing Else Matters and even the recent Frantic memorized. You have absolutely no idea about Metallica. They 'sold out' (god, I hate that term, but it is absolute applicable here) not because they got more air time, but because every album they made after ...And Justice For All is more bad grunge ripoff than well-written trash metal epics. Save St. Anger, which is n

Yeah it does. Someone told me The Mayfield Four were better than Alter Bridge because Myles didn't have such a terrible backing band. Apparently they're just as bad. And you're very clever, pointing out how ironic this is. I had never, ever thought of the mere possibility that it was ironic. ... If you still don't get it, it is, in fact, meant to be ironic. Pearl Jam - Release

Godsmack is underrated, but Metallica is overrated at best. At least, from the Black Album and on, anyway.

Sufjan Stevens is really overrated. When he can make one good album with really good material he opts to make five instead, spreading it too thin. That doesn't mean he isn't a good songwriter, though. Feel the illinoise is a great album! Besides, we're talking about art, your judgment is purely subjective. Gold Mine Gutted - Brighteyes Did I say it wasn't? That's the most annoying thing anyone can say. "That's just your opinion", well, no ****, because it was me who said it. The Mayfield Four - Suckerpunch

It's about as funny as Maddox (speaking of overrated). He's just saying "yeah, this is bad, so here's some swear words". Where's the funny? EDIT: Also, didn't Chris Cornell say he would only join the remaining members of RATM if they weren't political? Oh yeah, he DID. Do your research, ****er, at least Maddox had that much decency.

Disturbed, KoRn and Orgy are actually some of my guilty pleasures. I know they mostly suck, but I like them anyway. I guess I just like a lot of stuff. Got some classical and J-pop scattered across the hard drive, and my playlist just switched from Clap Your Hands Say Yeah to Opeth. I like where Disturbed is going, actually. Bands like Disturbed and Slipknot are making the first steps back towards good songwriting. They're still not actually doing it, but they're trying, at least. Complete with solos and everything. Bad solos, but solos nonetheless. People love Slayer and Kerry King can't ****ing solo for **** either, so big deal.

Yeah, but never as blatantly as Nirvana did it. Only their first album sounded remotely like any other grunge band. Save maybe The Melvins, but only because Cobain robbed them too. Although really, there is no such thing as grunge. Every grunge band can easily be classified into another genre, and probably fit in there better. The only factor that sets them apart is because they all came from the Seattle scene. I'd hold Nirvana responsible for killing guitar music if the Hair Metal scene hadn't done it first. Sonic Youth - Shadow of a Doubt

He did it on the same day too. April 5th. Except, I don't like Kurt Cobain at all, and Nirvana is horribly misclassified as grunge. I mean, listen to Soundgarden, Mother Love Bone, Pearl Jam, and all the other grunge bands. They're mostly rock and metal influenced. On the other side, Nirvana was more punk-oriented, right down to ripping punk artists like The Pixies off. Also, when I started playing guitar, my dislike for Nirvana grew incredibly quickly in short time, because basic scale excercises were more difficult than all their songs. Why people say Kurt Cobain is a good guitarist is beyond me.

Sufjan Stevens is really overrated. When he can make one good album with really good material he opts to make five instead, spreading it too thin. That doesn't mean he isn't a good songwriter, though. Currently listening to: Temple Of The Dog - Reach Down Rest In Peace, Andrew Wood. And for that matter, Rest In Peace, Layne Staley, since I just finished listening to Mad Season's Above. Heroin is both the best and worst thing that ever happened to grunge. Without it, Alice In Chains' 'Dirt' would never have been made. Without it, Alice In Chains would still be complete with Layne Staley.

Pearl Jam - World Wide Suicide. I like their new single. It's catchy.

Radiohead - Let Down

It didn't bother me this year. Then again, I was suffering from insomnia.

Oh, so that's a fact now? Have we actually found an actual, tangible soul? Or are you just saying that because mom and dad indoctrinated it in you from youth? Bah. Electrons and chemicals.

Except, the damn thing is poisoned. Tough luck.

Pearl Jam - Footsteps Still a loyal Pearl Jam fan. I can't wait for their self-titled release.

Do snuff movies count? No, of course I'm not serious.

I don't quite remember which band, but there was some power or hair metal band which had an album cover that was pretty much kiddy porn because they wanted to prove their masculinity or something. No, even if I did remember, I wouldn't post it. It's completely tasteless. And would probably get me banned.

My opinion? Communism doesn't work, capitalism doesn't work either. Why? People are bastards. And that's really all I have to say on the matter.

Most people here hate Cell Phones. Yay. I feel like I fit in.

I thought 'High Fantasy' was just fantasy that took place in an entirely fabricated world as opposed to a world grounded in ours. Shows what I know about literature. It doesn't have explosions or neat-looking monsters. Music is more my thing of nerdery. How about H.G. Wells? I think he was more influential than Tolkien. Most of the stories that are constantly copied/have inspiration drawn off them in the sci-fi world come from ideas that were first used in this way by H.G. Wells. I think if you take him out of the equation, there'd be a lot less copycatting in the sci-fi scene.

Currently listening to/watching Alice in Chains on MTV Unplugged.

From books I've read, Dr. Hannibal Lecter is probably my favourite. Comics-wise, I like The Joker (despite the fact I was never a batman fan), Orochimaru from the manga Naruto, and The Infernomancer from Dominic Deegan. Also, Trudy Truehart from General Protection Fault and, pretty much my all-time favourite, Litchfield from Instant Classic. Yeah, I like webcomics. A lot. From movies, Stripe from Gremlins is just too much goddamn fun. I also like Major Toht from Indiana Jones and John Doe from Se7en. I also liked Peter Stormhare's devil character in Constantine, although that was pretty much all I liked about that movie. Same for Clown from Spawn. Clown was the only reason to see that movie. Games - The Horned Reaper from Dungeon Keeper, although technically he was on your side. Television - the TV show versions of Venom and Carnage. So... I guess most of those are pretty psychotic. Hmm.

The clich

The Foo Fighters - Baker Street It's neat how they do it with the guitar.
