I'll 2nd the OPETH, DEATH and Meshuggah reccomendations.
I've been a fan of OPETH since I first heard "Morningrise" in 1997, and been hooked ever since. I tend to like their earlier material best, but they have yet to release anything less than a masterpiece. You really cannot go wrong with...
Here is my rating of DT's albums:
1. Images and Words
2. A Change of Seasons
3. Awake
4. Scenes from a Memory
5. When Dream and Day Unite
6. Falling into Infinity
I didn't rate the live albums.
Brad-just a quick note to tell you that, no, the 40 minute song coming by DT is not...
Thanks for the help guys-yeah I was talking about the new 3rd generation Anthem. I went to my retailer and listened again to the MCA 5 (second gen), and loved it, so I placed an order for the new MCA 50!!! I assume it can only be better! WOO HOO! List was about 2,ooo, but I got it for less...
Has anyone heard the new MCA 5 series II amplifier from Anthem? I believe it is upgraded to 225 wpc as opposed to the previous 200. If you have heard it, what is your impression? I listened to the old version and really liked it, but have not had a chance to audition the new one. There are...
It is so nice to see people here who like the same style of music as I. I find it hard to believe anyone has even heard of Opeth. I've been a fan of them for years (since Morningrise) I managed to catch them in concert last spring. If you can, SEE THEM! The sound was almost CD quality, and...
I happen to like MM!
The whole new trend of "less is more" doesn't cut it for me. There are only a few bands out there that can be called MM bands (also called 'Wanking" in the music circle). For example, Dream Theater to me is best when they are wanking. I find there true "songs" to be a...
One more update for you all.
I went back to the bank once more. She was not there again. Sounds like a pattern here, doesn't it? Now I'm simply going to go back to business as usual at the bank. I'm not going to ask for her number, give her mine again, or even ask her out for a coffee. If...
Brad,
I agree with you. Legion is by far the best Deicide album to be released. I read a interview with Glen (Deicide's singer/guitarist/songwriter) somewhere saying that they tried to make Legion as complex as they could, and after it was done, they didn't want to do it again. I suppose...
Ok. My mind is made up. I'm going to give her my CORRECT phone number the next time I see her. I will talk to her a little and tell her I'm still interested and that I DID give her the wrong number the first time. Then I will let it go. I'm not going to keep pressuring her. I know I'm...
How did I know what her car looked like? There is an employee parking area, and there is one car there with little teddy bears in the window and stickers that suggest someone young. The other tellers are all older women (middle age), so I just used the process of elimination by looking at the...
I'm not sure if any of you are aware, but Chuck Schuldiner passed away on Dec 13th. What a sad day for music. He was a big influence on many musicians, as well as an intelligent and nice person. He will be missed.
R.I.P. Bro

Sorry for the late update, but I out of state all weekend, and had no access to a computer.
Anyway, here is what happened. I went to the bank on Friday to deposit my check. I made sure to look and see that her car was there, which it was. I proceeded inside and....
SHE WAS NOT THERE!!!
I...
Again, Thanks for all the replies.
I agree I should have had her give me her phone number, but it all happened so quick. Plus, she was at work and there was a line behind me, so I didn't want to take up too much of her time. She asked for me to write mine down and never offered hers, so that...
WOW-Thanks for all the quick replies! Keep 'em coming!
Michael-I really like your idea! Do you have a "shitload" of money I can borrow? :)
I'll be sure to keep everyone informed as to how this works out. I was thinking this sounded like a Seinfield episode myself. It would be even funnier...
Last Thursday I finally worked up the courage to ask out a girl I've had a crush on for quite a while now, but now I'm not sure what to do next. Here is the background for all of you!
She works as a bank teller here in town, so I had to ask her out while she was at work. I have never seen...
Hey Guys-
Did you know that there is another live Death DVD available? You can only get it through Nuclear Blast (the record company), but I suggest if you like Death at least take a look. Also, 2 dollars of the purchase go directly to Chuck's fund for his brain tumor. I don't have it yet...
Phil, Jay and Rick are all correct. Transponders can be shut off because they would interfere approach/departure control if they were used during taxi, preflight and other operations on the ground. Also, they can be shut off to determine a cause of an electrical problem. For example, say you...
