Personally, I blame Mtv.

You just reminded me of a funny story from 7th grade that I'd forgotten about.

I was writing a research paper on my hometown, and I went to Wikipedia to get facts. I read what the city limits were, and it said something like xxx cm. Yes, I said cm. For some reason, I didn't question that and wrote it down on my paper. When I got my grade, I think it was good, except for that one thing. It probably made me look dumb, or maybe like I'd made a typo.

I told a kid in class about it, and he told me that his brother had edited that in days ago. It's a small world.

Alright guys, I just wanted to know whether WaywardSon attacked me or not. Something which I'm still not sure about.

I'm pretty sure it was a negative comment. But what do I know?

Are you in physical danger or something, did he send you death threats? You can't be liked by everybody, live with this fact. Derigin closed the subject, don't open it again.

Yeah, sorry about that Metantoine. I'm just unnecessarily inquisitive sometimes. I have to correct that.

Ah, I was in a little bit of a pissy mood. Sorry to the both of ya'.

Shhh.....let it be, LET IT BE, LET IT BEEEE. LET IT BEEE.

Are there any good metal podcasts?

No worries, comrade. Shit happens.

AH, nah not really. Most metal podcasts are either too mainstream or too politically bent or self-serving.

As long as we don't let it be...naked.

That's goddamn stupid. It's not like it would be too hard to do an informative underground metal podcast, reviewing albums, providing news on bands, tours, new releases, have general metal discussions, do interviews, etc... Why the fuck aren't people doing this? It's the next evolutionary step for fanzines if you ask me.

What about a metal video blog or something?

I've never downloaded a podcast in my life, but if one like that existed, I would start.

Goddamnit, I will make one. One with interviews, reviews, album trailers, authorized song samples, news, discussions, whatever. I just need a cohort to split a six pack and a dimebag with. Now that is real reporting!

I probably won't though. It sounds easy, but I have done a zine before. And that shit is alot to keep up with.

There's UVTV (a video podcast). Some legit bands sometimes but full of mallcore shit.

THERE WILL BE NO MALLCORE BULLSHIT ON MY VIDEO BLOG.

I felt the need to have that in caps. That will be the disclaimer at the beginning of each video.

Ask Abbath and Fenriz to record a small video for the intro.

Something like MATV or WMA would be neat. Someone could interview board members that are in bands and give a little exposure to people who wouldn't normally get much or any.

EDIT: Also, that covers topic made me revisit Burn by Deep Purple. I really wish that line-up lasted more than one year. There were rumblings a year or two ago about one, but Jon Lord shot it down more or less. His current condition and his comments that the fact that Coverdale might not be up to the task vocally (paraphrasing there) and Ian Paice wouldn't do it while being a member of the current line-up seemed to be the main reasons.

As a future journalism student, I fully support this idea.

No, you can't take my idea and turn it into a Metal Archives idea. WTF?? This is why you don't share your ideas aloud with the public.

Dude, just do it. Fuck, I was thinking of starting something similar. If you end up doing it, or if anyone here wants to make a "Metal Archives" users podcast, we should.

nevermind.

Do it, in your style then. But if you don't, IT WILL BE CLAIMED BY THE ARCHIVES.

I was once interview on a metal podcast.

But what about bands like Gaywyre? Something like that could get them on the road instead of shuffling through thrift store vinyl sections for obscure NWOBHM!

Razorwyre*

Their new album is coming soon and it will be epic. DeathRiderDoom will be paid in cocaine and trannies, of course.

Gunther, was the podcast about your dance/pop album?

I see no band called Razorwyre on the site. Only Gaywyre is real.

It'd take alot of work to do a metal videocast that people enjoy. It'd take atleast two people, so it isn't just a dude staring at a camera. Plus, multiple people would mean more versatile ideas. But we'd definitely need connections as far as people to interview.

we need more fun anecdotes of metalheads on his mid-twenties about the struggles of living in a society where the high-school kids are too loud, overdosed on sugary drinks and a lack of a sense of restrain
and refuse to go to sleep after 6:00 pm like the nonconformist people they think they are.

Just so you know, guys; Ian Gillan is fucking Satan incarnate. And that's awesome.

That reminds me of a funny Ian Gillan story.

1; You should totally do that.
2; I can provide help.
3; Has anyone seen this yet? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTrC8tY-mto

Yeah, terrible album crammed full of Christian preaching. His role in Funny Man is the only thing that comes close to that steaming shit heap.

Why are you sad?

So was HellBlazer, regarding M-A, for that matter. Not sure if it was a podcast or just a standard internet radio. Don't ask me for a link, though, cause I don't have it.

Xlxlx, and others from the Highschool Musical group: You are quite typical new users, and I'd like to take a minute to explain you how the world works, especially when it comes to the MA board.

You are now seen as amusing young fellows, and people like you and your funny antics, but just like any joke repeated one too many times, it gets tedious as the time passes. Many users like you have been entertaining in their early posting careers, just to be banned or driven out when everybody gets bored of their act. Few have survived very long, and those who have, have also been able to transform themselves into something else than the class joker within a reasonable time frame. See the notorious Butterfly Sisters as a good study on the idea: we have OzzyApu left, the rest are being entertaining somewhere else.

It would be a good idea to limit your postings and especially your endearing but irritating emotionalism a bit. It's not a chat board, it's a board for dicussing something more than just chatter. Even if the atmosphere is relaxed, it does not mean it's a completely free Fun Buffet or a stage built solely for you. Making too much noise is bad for you. So, you could consider maturing as a poster as a good alternative, and maybe install a bullshit filter between your head and the keyboard in front of you.

Just sayin'...

Wasn't MikeyC one of the butterfly sisters aswell?

Yeah, he was.

@Napero; I went a little hyper because 4 days passed without me visiting this place due to a lack of internet (and today I'm going back home from my father's place, so expect me to not post for a couple more days). You're right though in that such a thing doesn't justify me flooding the place with my crap so, again, I'll try to keep it down a little bit.

What the hell is with the reviews for Lacuna Coil's newest? Are they all being paid or is it actually decent?

I'm guessing it's just because fans of the band are the only people who give a shit about the new album. I mean, really, think about it: do YOU care enough about the album's existence to want to listen to it and review it?

Ribos has quite a point here. Seriously, of all the people here, who cares enough about Lacuna Coil to review one of their albums? Let alone the latest one. Personally? I don't really consider myself part of that crowd.
