I admire their efforts, but I listened to Frantic and it’s still a shitty song. See the rest here

Re: Knotfest Japan Full Report
I well understand the importance of keeping oneself well-fed and hydrated for these grueling festivals. Also, since when are we worrying about what time of day is the start of our drinking hours?
I’ll have to check out Crossfaith — as is not unusual, I’d never heard of them before! And, you’re going to make me re-listen to Korn and Trivium, dammit. See the rest here
Re: Re: Re: Re: Loud Park
Thanks for answering my questions. It’s taken me some time to absorb. First, thanks for introducing me to the term “reunion-aged.” I feel that’s going to be very useful in a few years when all the NWOAHM bands that have just recently disbanded get back together. Second, I absolutely agree with your sentiments about Kreator and Overkill; age has neither lessened their aggression nor the impact of their live shows (and Mille is only 47–I was surprised by that).

Re: Re: Re: Loud Park
Perhaps the issue with age is less about the members in any particular band and more about that group’s heyday. Thinking of the band’s ages in that light tells a very different story. See the “birth dates” of the aforementioned bands below.
I would also make the argument that reunion-aged bands sell more festival tickets (and more expensive ones at that). See the rest here
Re: Re: Re: Re: Loud Park
The Dolving material sounded great. Marco can pull it off with no trouble. I teared up a bit during The Dead Eye songs. Damn, was that a great album! As for DT, in fact, they played a headlining gig the next night, so I’m sure they took their time there. See the rest here
Re: Re: Re: Loud Park
Thanks for your intrepid reporting, as always. Nice to hear that the Haunted and Kreator ripped it up as usual. I was surprised to see they played so much Dolving era stuff—how did those tunes sound? And as for DT, a 90 minute set is like a preshow warm up for them—they must have had to go to another venue to play another 3-4 hours after Loud Park to make it worth their while. See the rest here
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Help!
The song limit could be a problem for you.
The other issue I believe is only an option—you can have your files replaced by ones from iTunes (which is really a form of illegal song laundering for people who, unlike JPB, have stolen all their music and have subpar files), but you do not have to.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Help!
iTunes Match was my first inclination, but I have two concerns. Are they legitimate?:
- The limit on the iCloud is 25,000 songs. My iPod currently has nearly 23,000 songs (nearly 100% ripped from CDs). Is this a long-term solution? I haven’t seen anything about how to pay for more space on iCloud.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Help!
If you used iTunes Match, you could then have all your music available to you on your phone by streaming or to download at will. You can still keep everything you have on your hard drive/iPod, but also have cloud versions available to you. No loss of control, probably better sound quality for streaming than what you currently have on your pod. See the rest here
