OK, I've watched the video and read through the website. That was sickening. I don't condone these horrifying acts either. Anyone that revels in these actions can rot at the bottom of the sea as well. And you can superimpose the same logic you used earlier on this scenario. These murderers had inter...

I cannot watch the link right now but I will when I get home. I never said or alluded to Muslim’s being mindless monsters. I’m quite aware and respect that they have agenda’s, perspective, fears and desires just like any other human being on the planet. I’ve never once bought into the hysteria of Mu...

It's not about remorse or about the fact that he's dead. Nobody, including TAJ argued that Bin Laden shouldn't have been killed. The fact that I'm opposing is the way it went down. Because what does it say about our society once we start accepting that people can be executed without trial? And more...

John T. Berzanske IV

I find no joy in celebrating a man's death and I clearly understand and appreciate the purpose of due process. I do not champion everything my governemt and elected officials do. Was it wrong of the U.S. government to execute the opperation without the involvement of the Pakistan government? Perhaps...

John T. Berzanske IV

Nice playing and phrasing. What kind of amp are you using in the improv videos?

John T. Berzanske IV

He played really well when I saw Jon Oliva's Pain five or six years ago.

I think Rhapsody would appeal to me if it were more guitar heavy. The way that they write the orchestral stuff is almost like incidental music within the song but the parts are always right in your face in the mix. I think if these parts took a slightly more backseat role to the metal parts, it migh...

It's a tune off of their upcoming album. I found it highly enjoyable - nice and rough like Storm Before Calm and the second half is fantastic!

Check it out.

John T. Berzanske IV

Thanks Innerdream, Opeth are a big influence of mine!

John T. Berzanske IV

Thanks guys, the feedback is always appreciated. I would love to have a record real again. As soon as I finish up the vocals I'm going to start shopping around - Here's to hoping!

John T. Berzanske IV

Hey guys, it's been a long time sinse I've posted anything I've been working on musically but I've finally got some new material! http://www.lychband.com The player should kick in at the bottom. There are two vocal-less tracks out of the twelve on the album. The style is pretty progressive with atmo...

John T. Berzanske IV

That was pretty uncomfortable to watch. The back up singers are especially douchy

John T. Berzanske IV

Listening now. This almost has a power metal feel with the chord progressions. I could easily hear Hansi of the old days shrieking over it. The vocals used though are quite nice and fitting. Very nice!

John T. Berzanske IV

Ha, this almost seems bad on purpose like it's a parody of itself. Her voice is sooooooo nasally oriented, especially on the chorus... "Its FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY FUN FUN FUN FUN...."

John T. Berzanske IV

Jon is a control freak. Any failure to deliver what is "expected" of an Iced Earth vocalist will surely be because Jon chose/approved of said melodies and vocal lines. That being said, Jon's writing is pretty predictable as far as sound goes so I think we can expect something that is at the very lea...

John T. Berzanske IV

This is really fantastic stuff, thanks for the recomendation. It has a cinematic quality without being orchestral or classical, which is great!

The band's instability saps my faith in the new record.

John T. Berzanske IV

Exciting, can't wait to check this out. I enjoy the general roughness of their sound - the atmoshpere is pleasing to me. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion though.

John T. Berzanske IV

Switching back to Barlow like that was kind of a let down. I feel like once I had adjusted to the idea that Owens was new voice of Iced Earth, I was realy looking forward a new era of music and new inspiration in songwriting. Don't get me wrong, I think Barlow is fantastic, but it's not like he came...

John T. Berzanske IV

No shock there, but I am curious to see the return from the concept albums to "hopefully" just a straight up collection of metal tunes. Could very cool. Or very disappointing. I really do hope it has as much vengeance as the good old days. U.S. power metallers ICED EARTH are hard at work on their te...

John T. Berzanske IV

Super crappy news indeed. His stuff with Thin Lizzy was so damn good!

R.I.P.

John T. Berzanske IV

I'm enjoying your choice of chordal progression. I feel like they are choices I would have made myself. What software are you using?

John T. Berzanske IV

Wow, headbangers ball is way worse than I thought it might be. The host seems completely incompetent and really doesn't enage the guests on the topics. The bands being discussed, minus Agalloch, made me sad on the whole.

John T. Berzanske IV

Sad news! But I will definitely be there. Hopefully they have a huge, killer set list.

John T. Berzanske IV

My two favorites: Deathspell Omega - Si Monvmentvm Reqvires, Circvmspice This is really the most "epic" black metal I've ever encountered. Rediculously vast and scenic. They have a very strong and powerful sense of melody hidden within the typical black metal dissonance. Sola Fide I, Carnal Malefact...

In any case, good luck with the old provoking me stuff. You must've thought I was interested in exchanging opinions with you about...anything. Unfortunately, that is not the case. I'm not insensitive, however, to the long hours of laborious love invested in your misguided, America-hating toils in d...

Additionally, in case you decide not to read my responses, most of what you posted was basically straight up lies.

I thought it would be Joost on the white horse instead of...uh...whoever that other person was. But I just scrolled down to the bottom, 'cause it ain't no thang to me what a bunch of wicked evil liberals puke up. Me, I just cut 'n pasted a bunch of Obama stuff to keep the topic alive, since that's ...

John T. Berzanske IV

I had to at least try

Well here goes a VERY long post. I predict many TL,DR's :mrgreen: I tried to address every one of your recent posts WVM. We don't need a birth certificate to know that Obama is a foreigner. He might've been born in the United States, but he doesn't think like most of us think. He doesn't look at thi...

How could I miss this topic? Generally, the darker the beer, the more the flavor opens up as it warms a bit. Some of my favorites are: Shiner Bock is my go-to beer. Wondfully smooth and pretty much goes with any food. Killian's is my budweiser. You can basically find it anywhere and it's pretty much...

BTW,loved all the pics,especially the black cat,he's all like "i be better than yall,behold my tongue" :mrgreen: He's pretty old actually, about thirteen. He was feral for years too, outside all the time. His teeth stick out of his mouth when it's closed and his toe nails click on the floor when he...

I have cats too. They are equally rediculous

He is way too overly animated. When he is dressed as the parody, I suppose that's to be expected but the shots of him not in costume are kind of embarassing.

John T. Berzanske IV

Big let down with the no Ohio show. I'll be heading over to philly though. No way I'm missing this!

John T. Berzanske IV

Probably because it is mostly "Meh"

John T. Berzanske IV

They have their moments. I was really into them when New American Gospel came out. However, their tunes never really stick in my head the way a good song should. I've seen them live a few times as well and they play well, but again it's pretty forgettable to me.

John T. Berzanske IV

I was just reading about this. What a major let down, I hope he pulls through. I've been a big fan ever since I saw Behemoth on the Metal Gods tour with Halford years ago.

John T. Berzanske IV

I think I mentioned The Chasm earlier. They need light shed on them though - what a rediculously under appreciated band.

John T. Berzanske IV

We also missed out on Paschendale in Cleveland. It was still a killer show though. Maiden delivered, as usual!

John T. Berzanske IV

It actually came up on my playlist and I listened to it in full before I even realised it was apropriate for the occasion heh. We actually get tomorrow off because it landed on a Sunday this year. That being said, bring on the booze.

John T. Berzanske IV

2. The excess material will be kept for the 2nd, 3rd etc album. That's how it's done. We are not throwing it away :P Where do you think the 100-so songs of Michael Jackson that were released after his death came from? Yes, but there's a difference between saving songs for the next album or B-sides ...

John T. Berzanske IV

That sounds like a marketing scheme where the label has all of the creative control. Are you under contract? If you are, double check that the lable can't just reject everything and grind you until you produce what they want or they kick you to the curb. Is this your personal band? Or more of a sess...

John T. Berzanske IV

I specifically remember everyone changing their name to Joost with varying degrees of phonetic interpretation. I'm not sure who's name was Juiced2, but it made me chuckle.
