Hello from Canada

Thanks for the add. Awesome taste ; )

Ha, cool! I might sometimes listen to all my songs that begin with certain word, or something along those lines. This was actually the first time here that I noticed that someone else does something like that as well. ._.

Wtf, have you played through all the songs from your library that start with A? :D

I know perfectly what you mean with lack of time / too much music. But I have a hint for you: drop the priority of the new releases and just mainly concentrate on the back catalogues! The latter ought to be muuuuch better usually (IMO ;D)! I'm stuck in the 80s myself, maybe even too much... But yeah, ARP completely rules! Just ordered a bunch of albums from him. It seems the more I listen to his music, the more I like it. I can't get over how "much room" their soundscapes have, if you know what I'm meaning! I completely love how at any time the dais is so clearly occupied only by either Gioeli's (or any other former vocalist's) godly voice, or Pell's picturesque solos, with those epic synths creating atmosphere in the background all the time! And what songwriting... so awesome! They slowly grew to be one of my favorite groups at the moment. I've had Oceans of Time for ages and always liked it a lot, but as said, I just like them more and more all the time. :D

Greetings friend! I see you have reset your scrobbles. However, I did an interesting find: on Axel Rudi Pell's page, it says on "Friends that listen to Axel Rudi Pell" that you have 681 scrobbles. Apparently the artist pages remember even the reset numbers. Nothing else really; keep on rocking! :D

Have you seen him live?

Nice avatar, Doug's a killer guitar player.

They did indeed!

I saw them at the Webster in Hartford for their tour kickoff. :D Stu Block is AMAZING.

Damn, Iced Earth are great live.

So what'd you think of Fabio/the show?

Yes and yes. :D

Love it. Much less metal, much more orchestral, but I think it works well for them. I have to treat it like a musical.

Huh, it's not in stock at CMDistro apart from an import vinyl version, and when I visited the Avantasia MySpace it said that it was only released in a digital format over here. :( I don't know who thought that was a good idea...

Yeah - I only really like half the album, but since AoB isn't coming out f'real over here, I figured I owed Tobias at least SOME of my money. :P

Dood, I was just at the Newbury Comics in Manchester a few days ago, and they had The Wicked Symphony on sale for only $7.99! :O

Oh, definitely... but for some reason they didn't release Angel of Babylon in a physical format over here, and that's the one I happen to like more. >:( ImpulseMusic has them both for a pretty good price, though, and they have the boxed set for something like $22.99 as opposed to $40+.

Hey, If you like Parkway Drive, Killswitch Enage or The Devil Wears Prada. Check out my band Gracefails. http://www.last.fm/music/Gracefails and download the free songs.

Yeah, it's both The Wicked Symphony and Angel of Babylon in a boxed set with pictures and stuff. I've heard a bit of TWS, but I'm not quuuite sure if I want to get it yet.

$52 on CMDistro. :/ :/ :/ I thought it'd be $35-ish at the most, but nope...

The new Avantasia boxed set is expensive... D:

Aberystwyth University I guess ;p

heey haven't heard from you for ages! how are u? im on fb search for Patrycja Graczyk ;p

And did you hear there's a new Allen/Lande coming out this year? :D

I haven't heard the whole thing yet! I dug Thousandfold, though.

... and days after you wrote that, Luna Mortis broke up. Daaaaamn. D:

I actually saw Hypersolid again at the Kamelot show when they opened for SymX -- they had a different vocalist that time, but I thought he did a better job than the previous one (didn't get his name, though). Haha, for some reason, I thought you were a Doro fan... I also met Blackguard at the Epica show and zomg, they are awesome dudes. :D

Hey, did you hear that Hypersolid split up and some of the members made a new band? :O They're called Infinite Descent, and they sound a looot like Hypersolid, but with a female vocalist who a) growls; b) has a very Doro-esque clean voice. I saw them open for Sonata a few months ago and they were rather good!

I guess in terms of musicianship Rhapsody is indeed a bit better. Although I find it personally to be too cheesy for me to like. Fairyland is about my limit, hehe.

Yeah, I figured that as well. And it really is a pity, because the music is (in my opinion) at least as good as Rhapsody's. A lot of bands with great potential get overlooked this way.

Ahhh, which one?

Its a great album. I, am waiting for it, I bought it on play.com, so should be here soon. But its a good album anyway.

I haven't heard the new one yet! :O I think I'll pick it up next time I'm out.

If you have email, you could send some random email to me so I can send my adress to you

Dude, do you use msn? add me there if you do: apollo_brd@hotmail.com

It's because you are in usa, I'm in a poor small city in Brazil if you could, I would be in eternal debt for you

tres hombres, I'm about quitting and downloading it already

It's never to late, right? I am getting crazy, trying to buy an zz top original album, but I can't find anywhere else beyond the internet

some awesome stuff here dude!

Man, I just know a guy in real life that has a real close chart to yours

I was real crazy about Pantera albuns, like, listened to it everyday But I don't do that anymore. Still, randomly, I put some of their work on my playist! It's really great heh Still, I'm enjoying the new metal stuff more than anything else these days!

Yeah! I love them both, but it's a time that I don't listen to my pantera cd's. Your charts are really great!

I LOVE EVOCATION. I seriously prefer it (and Spirit) over Slania, but I still need to get Vên. I really hope I can make it to their gig with Alestorm, gah.

Haha, I'm not sure if I'm getting to that one, but I'm trying - I really want to see Eluveitie! I read your review, it sounded like you had a good time. I should check out Luna Mortis, I heard one of their songs and rather liked it.
