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
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
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
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
Thanks for the fast responses, guys. This is a bit of an emergency for me! Zig, I listen to my tunes on an iPod Classic (’cause I’m a classic!) on headphones and on a Bose iPod speaker stand. I mostly listen to music on headphones and would like to preserve the option to keep my entire library mobile (my commute is an hour one way). See the rest here
It seems that PD had edited himself since the time of his original post, but Blabbermouth has done us a mitzvah and transcribed most or all of it before it could be lost. You can check it out here. See the rest here
Allegedly, there are people out there who are selling refurbished iPod Videos with 240GB hard drives in them. Unholy abortions, these devices, but they can be found. I have even heard tell, in anxious whispers, stories of a mythical iPod upgrade kit available on eBay.
But these options only delay the inevitable (and at cost). See the rest here
