AmBush: that looks like a fab play list

I'm into a little of everything from classical to metal. For me Metallica & Anthrax were always right up there with Maiden but I've always considered Maiden as my favorite because of the recurring themes and stories in their music. I'm a history buff and I love the way they use history and different time periods in their song writing. Not to mention Eddie the ultimate badass mascot any band has ever had.

Sweet. I just won tickets to see 5 Finger Death Punch on the radio the other day. \m/

EdFool - I have not ever seen Cannibal Corpse live. I've heard I'm definitely missing out. My concert-going days are largely behind me (I do have tickets to see Sabbath in August, tho!)

[The Educated fool]

I got to see Sabbath for the first/last/only time on their The End tour stop in Winnipeg earlier this year... amazing show!

Sabbath is ending their tour in my country, Argentina. I've seen them live a couple of times. But this will be special.

[The Educated fool]

No doubt, man! Wish I could be there!

Other metal bands I like:

The Sword - kinda like a cross between Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath. Fun stuff.

Black metal: Ulver, Gorgoroth, Godseed

Doom metal/Post metal: Wolves in the Throne Room, Altar of Plagues, Agalloch, Oranssi Pazuzu, A Storm of Light, Dirge

Doom/sludge: Windhand, Shrinebuilder

Death metal: Bolt Thrower

Goth metal: Tristania, Draconian

I've been to the last two Roadburn Festivals in Tilburg, Netherlands and loved it. Really great mix of bands and styles, nice city, and lots of great people.

No love for TOOL?

[The Educated fool]

I can dig some of Tools' songs, but not all. Gotta love Sobber though.
