I can't do this!!!!

Throned by blackstorms! My signed Immortal poster from the 08 tour is still on my old bedroom wall at the folks house!

Yes the diversity there is very good I just wanted to add some bangers! Yeah that album is more for anyone wanting to understand Norway and Black Metal in the 90s, by far not the best band but one of the most influential. It's like telling someone to listen to Sabbath for the intro to metal/hard rock. Behemoth is a great one to see live. Traditionally a black metal band but I believe the term thrown around is 'blackened death metal'. Slaves Shall Serve was a favourite of mine with them. Dissection was one I was fascinated with for ages. How could you not be! It's been so long since I had a metal conversation like this with anyone for over 30 seconds. Man I wish Spotify was around when I was deep into metal, would have saved a lot of money buying CDs from international Ebay stores!

Moonsorrow! There's one I haven't heard in a while! Thinking of breaking out some Agalloch for the first time in ages. Great list by the way, couple of others: Satyricon - Mother North Immortal - Solarfall Also the centre of the source of the second wave black metal universe (in my opinion anyway) Mayhem's album De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas.

Oh I tuned out after Heritage so i totally agree. I want my memory to be those first 8 or so albums 😄 Paradise Lost have definitely had a good consistent catalogue.

The challenge for DL today and from now on is when floating the idea of hanging onto future picks or potentially trading for more, to present an idea that extends a bit beyond the simple opinion that 'next year's draft is meant to be strong'. 🙂

I'm impressed with the way the Jets are tracking. Can understand the aprehension on Wilson but I do think he has a lot going for him, huge arm and can throw guys open. Just needs to work through his progressions a bit quicker, he does hold onto it a long time and while he does have decent athletic ability to extend plays he's certainly not Aaron Rodgers yet.

Disappointing that we barely saw him after he was dropped. THinm he could have offered something different at Wing/HFF. Expecting a big bounce in 2023.

The one time I saw Cradle was for the Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder tour at Metro and I just remember being mroe impressed with guitarist Paul Allender that night. I dunno why but Dani just started to irritate me after many years, maybe I really needed to catch him live in the prime period like Midian.

Me too haha

Yeah he did it while doing So What which was a B-side to the Black Album. What a waste 😛 For me Mikael Akerfeldt from Opeth has to be one of the best all around metal vocalists. His clean vocals are real nice but his guttural vocals are up there with the best in death metal. And his ability to change between the two so quickly is serious talent.

Cruelty, Cradle to the Enslaved and Midian were easily my favs. Everything after that was too much of the same and it all just got tiring. I'd listen to a Cradle greatest hits album now and enjoy it but I don't dig too far into them these days.

I love it, it's going to sell a lot of papers. It's really not my concern if it works out or not.

I think the media and Rendells of this world have overhyped Freo.

Pretty sure Ben Hollands played in Richmond sides with Ben Holland as well. You can imagine what radio commentators had to do at the time. "Hollands (plural) takes a great mark!"

Nice one Jontee. Seeing Balme's Open Mike interview a few years ago he seemed to see all tghe rough stuff as part of the game. Didn't seem like it was his perosnality but he was able to do what was expected at the time, certainly was a different era.

We'll see how it goes

They'll be back.

I don't even.

Bucs, Packers, Colts

Bring it on!

I need time to get used to Skort, I did like Skuit.

Yeah I tried thumbnails to sort of setup the first 10 days and it does help a lot! Haha it is funny you mention that, I do a lot of sketching for my job and have often thought about going back to study drafting. I know a lot of people find it boring but I really like perspective sketching and making sure things are in proportion etc. So much to try out when it comes to hatching. Lines, line weight, layering, stippling. I'd love to just spend heaps of time practicing all these and drilling them in! Yeah that would be me as well, I live off pencil undersketches. Definitely not one of those people who could paint a structure willy nilly, there has to be some guide.

Anyone for Sparkle Narkle? Probably the only one I'd invite to a training.

When I first started on all these boards I was a very young teen who was very into the Hip-hop group Bone Tungs N Harmony and my name is in reference to Layzie Bone one of the members of the group! I thought about changing it many times over the years but never bothered and now it's at the point where I can't change it, despite the fact that I very rarely listen to Bone Thugs these days it would feel like changing my real name! I don't even particularly like it at times and even think it's silly but it's been so long it feels like being born with it and you just have to embrace it!
