Rush was at their best during the 70's and 80's. Their newest album snakes and arrows totally kicks ass even afer like 3 decades. Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee and Neil Peart are freakin' awesome together.

saw them way back in '79 the first time, my friend.....hemispheres tour.(?)
reckon they are better now than then even.....was great to see a whole crowd of '40 somethings' with no hair trying to headbang,,,,but we tried lol.

too bad i didn't exist during the 70's to see Rush If not it would have been an awesome view.
But however I did see the snakes and arrows tour on TV

coheed and cambria

Dream Theater and Rush.

I'm a huge fan of Fourth Estate and now their front man Dave Beegle (since they've now broken up). Fourth Estate was definitely in the Prog/Instrumental Rock category and then Dave Beegle is now doing more solo classical guitar. Awesome stuff.
Savatage is good too (they turned into Trans-Siberian Orchestra), they are a bit more 'rock operaish', but still good stuff.

Reading Festival, and festivals in general

Is anyone going to Reading 08? I went last year, and ahd to go again, so much so that I paid 50 quid extra on ebay for the priviledge...

I misread the title as "reading" as in reading a book. Thought XDA had suddenly turned all studious and cultural for a moment and you were promoting some sort of book festival (not that there would be anything wrong with that!)

mike...what have u been smoking?

Best festival here in canada (IMO) is WEMF which is the World Electronic Music Festival where it's pretty much 3 days of camping + electronic music (anything from techno to hhc to drum n bass) i managed to go last year and i believe it was one of the best weekend long events i've ever been to

Silly Rory...Nothing at Reading compares to this.

what a randomer calling me silly.. noobs!

Haha...Shutup Rory. You know I'm right. As I said earlier, the violin is a more popular instrument than all types of guitar combined.

Movie: The Dark Knight

Good evening peeps, on a few of my other forums I know I like to sit and talk abut the movies that come out, typically because friends and myself alwatys goto midnight showings because, well, it's way more fun and i'd like to start it here with what was the BEST movie of the summer, year, or decade for all i care lol.
The Dark Knight, the new batman movie, was amazing IMO....best movie i've seen in SO long. it was really long whicih only helped the situation, finally a movie that can have everything take place without skipping around to speedin things up. it was in my opinion by far a great movie and definitely a 10/10 + everyone should see it. christian bale was great, and heath ledger played the joker flawlessly IMHO.
We went to the midnight showing at Emagine Theatre in Novi, Michigan and they sold out 9 theatres for midnight showing..
just amazing...what do u guys think? can't wait for the next....the penguin? or mr. freeze w/ Arnold lol ;-)

errrrr...Why So Serious?

I saw it opening night. It is one of, if not the most, amazing movies I have ever seen. It's has action, comedy, whit (and a lot of it, a lot of people probably won't understand much of the meaning), and it's also a bit dark, which made this movie really good. Go see it!!!

Im in Italy, still DarkNight not in theatres
... but i think i will NOT go to first plays: too much crowd. Maybe i'll wait 1-2 week, then go with dochinka maya

Good movie...was it the best action movie ever? No. It was too long in my opinon but Heath Ledger did the Joker justice and made old Jack's take just laughable. All I kept thinking while watching it was, "when is Joker going to show up again?".

Yeah, the Joker was nice and creepy. Only thing i couldn't get was batmans scream/speaking. it always threw me off. 9/10...

ace film joker didnt bother me at all!!!! good old jack was better i feel. but harvey two face totaly stole the show for me!!!! was such a good film after gettting 13 forgian language students kicked out for talking and playing with phones still the best film since last bond.

Jack's role in Batman w/ Keaton was good
But you have to understand that "The Dark Knight" is based entirelt off the DC comics. The original Batman Movies, while taking elements of the DC comics, still were in a League of there own. You can see the differences in the Characters as well as the story line. 2-Face in the origianal Batman story was burned by Sulfyric Acid during a trial, as in the new one it was a gas burn after the explosion
Heath's role as the Joker in "The Dark Knight" is based off the comic " The Killing Joke". If you read the comic you will see that Heath nailed the role 10/10 and thats why its a shame he died because he deserve all the credit for playing such an amazing role. You can see that he plays the role from this comic because of "wanna know how I got these scars?" In the comic, everytime he said that he had a different story each time.
Jack's role as Joker in The first Batman movie w/ Keaton was also perfect if you compare the character to the conventional Joker.
I think both Jokers were played perfectly but they're hard to compare because they're based off of different Jokers.
All in all the movie was great, except for when Christian Bale talked as Batman, talk about annoying. Nobody did it better then Michael Keaton, but nobody has done it worse the George Clooney LOL

in the terms of l33t american teenagers
the movie was "the -

Heath carried the movie alot for me
and not just because he died
because he was less silly then the old series or the old movie
more dark like the new movies
and i only felt i could recognize him in few shots in the movie
and thats a point for acting i guess

i know it has been based on that but i felt it wasnt right for me. plus i felt being a 12 a in the uk was stupid children for any age under 18 maybe get away with a 15 should not be seeing people make pencils vanish using some ones face.
dont get me wrong i loved the film will be going to see it again but i prefure my nutters to almost be normal and have a sens of humility in them so when they do the really nasty stuff its alot more shocking. for instance it would be alot more of a shock if say g w bush let lose on a crowd with an uzi than some nut job (oh w8 g w bush is a nutter ok say brad pitt)

Lets share some music! Come post links or Artist/Titles of your favorite music!

So, I've had a stagnant playlist for a week or two now and could use the help of all of you down here at the gates of madness known affectionately as Off-Topic.

Music I'd rather not listen to: Most Country or Gangsta Rap
Ok well thanks for taking the time to read this! Post anything, I'm pretty open minded musically, and I'll post some of my favorites and we can help each other out!
Thaaaaaanks!
Please link me to your favorite songs, I'll do the same! Mobile friendly videos preferred but anything works

Yes, and YES! I also like Chevelle most of it although I havent spent much time listening to their new stuff.
Thank you all for the replies! I was kind of hoping more for links to specific songs or at least maybe an artist and song title (probably should've been more specific in OP, I've edited it now XD). I have almost 1000 songs on my sd card and I think I need to clean it up and add some stuff I've never listened to before. So let's do this, let the song links and titles flow!

The Who, Cream, Jimi Hendrix (Experience), The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, Free, AC/DC, Bob Dylan, Whitesnake,... This is what I listen to mostly.

All of those are great bands, I especially LOVE Jimi Hendrix. Not to be mainstream but "All Along the Watchtower" is one of my absolute favorite songs, one of them (I have SO many). Anyway, thank you and link up a song from one of those you consider one of your favorites.
Here's a slower song from Digital Daggers (the singers voice is sooo sexy), the song is called "I Surrender"

Me, too. The whole Skrillex and Deadmau5 excessive wobble is horrible music. It's not even music. Most of it has no melody at all. There is good and even great dubstep out there. Mostly it was the stuff that had been around for years before those two asshats hit the scene. I truly don't get the whole wobwobwobowobwobweeeweeeweeewobwobeoooeooooeoooeooowoobowoobobwoob ****. Look at Nero. A relative newcomer to EDM, those guys make good music. It's the kids who don't know good music and want to be cool and different that are driving this microwaved turd up in the charts. I don't get it.

Nero is the tits, that's for sure, I saw him at Identity last year it was crazy! The only person there who put on a better show was Chuckie. I've always been attracted to the more Agro sounds no matter what genre. When I was really young and listened to rap it was Three6 (back when they made good music) and UGK. Then I moved on to rock and it was Zombie and Manson. Now that I listen to EDM it's Skrillex, Deadmau5 & Knife Party. I understand why some people don't like it, most of the time it's because their ears are old lol. I don't need a melody just anything that makes the hairs on my neck stand up, that's definitely Skrillex. Also his music videos are awesome. The little girl and the pervert. Santa taking pills and getting into fistfights. The hoodlums robbing the ice cream truck and growing up to rob the jewelry truck. I have a bunch of hippy friends who like EDM but they listen to all that slow hippy crap too. They ask me how I listen to EDM constantly and I tell them their slow hippy crap puts me to sleep.
Edit: hell now that I think about it there is more wobble in any of Nero's songs than in Deadmau5's songs. Allot of times I have to hear a Deadmau5 song a few times before I really enjoy it cause most of them are so damn slow.

Hahaha, no. I'm about the least judgmental person you can find. Take a gander at the "what are you listening to" thread. I post everything. All kinds of music. Music that isn't in an English tongue, too. I listen to it all. Anybody that follows that thread can attest to that.
Let me ask you. Do you even know what dubstep is? Where it came from? Who started it? It's not something new. Been around for many many years. Good music. Comes from a genre of EDM I like, DnB, from London. It's the recent **** that is just that, ****.
Look, there's plenty of people that like bad music. Look at sales for Nickelback. Does that make me judgemental cause I say it's bad music? Nope. Cause the fact still stands, it's bad music.
It's something new to you and the rest of the kids that like it. That's all. Skrillex is a fad. A cancer. And whatdaknow, he got it. Literally. I feel just as bad about his plight as I did when I heard Jobs was getting sick. Bad people ruining a good thing for people who don't know any better
