I found out Ozzy is coming to our state (Montana) for the first time but the tickets are $125 so we are not going to be going to the concert Cry

It is going to be in Billings Nov. 2nd. which is a four hour drive one way so we would be paying for tickets, gas and food and whatever else so it's really not in our budget Sad

I know I will kick myself later but I guess that is how things go sometimes Roll Eyes

Currently, I'll put my music in the following order:

1. Psychodelic
2. Hard acid rock from the late 60's
3. Real Bluegrass from the south. NOT what country has become lately.
4. Decent folk music.
5. Alternative (I find some of this new stuff pretty good.)

On Wedensdays, I listen to an on-line classics show with Johnny P. Lovetrain out of South Florida U. He plays a request from 'Roadrat from St. Louis' or 'Dave from St' Louis' every week in the 10:00 CDT hour.

You may also find a studio portrait painted by your's truly on his sites.

I do not like Rap or most Disco. I like that Yvonne Ellerman (sp) song from the disco era, though. Her voice is good enough to make even disco plalatable.

I am listening to Dark Passion Play for the second time this morning and so far I like The Poet And The Pendulum the best but Master Passion Greed is pretty good too.
I usually like the heaviest songs the best at first then the more I listen to a CD the more I like the other songs.

I do like this CD a lot and their new vocalist is pretty good Cool

For people new to heavy metal or even if you have listened to it for years I recommend you watch the movie Metal A Headbanger's Journey.

I bought it used and after I watched it I was surprised that I actually learned a few things I did not know.

The thing I learned the most is how many generes there are in heavy metal starting in the late 60's.

I bought the collector's edition of Dark Passion Play and the bonus track Reach (Amaranth Demo Version) is a very cool song Cool

I am listening to the second disc right now which is orchestral versions which are basically instrumental versions of the first disc.
I like most instrumental songs (such as Pink Floyd's One Of These Days, Edgar Winter's Frankenstein, etc.) and the versions on disc two are pretty good Cool

Actually, listening to the songs without the vocals reminds me of Therion's music Cool

And while I am talking about Nightwish, I also bought End Of An Era which is 2 CD's and 1 DVD of live music but I have not listened/watched it yet.

I own only about 10 CD's and maybe 15 to 20 LP's. My wife brought her collection of about 100 45RPM's with her but there isn't too much good in that pile. I'm pretty narrow minded on what I'll buy. Remember Ort. from Athens Ga.? He was a big 45 collector.

Dark Passion Play is great. My favorite song is Sahara (it's irresistible), Master Passion Greed and Meadows of Heaven are my other favorites of the moment- but when I start listening to DPP, I don't skip any songs.

I have the instrumental version as well and really like it. In fact, I think I prefer instrumental versions of Amaranth and Whoever Brings the Night to the normal version. The orchestrations of these songs are so good.

I did not know Headbangers Ball was on MTV until the late 80's and I would watch it religiously in the early 90's and was very dissapointed to find out it was not on any more.

Then I found out it was brought back on MTV2 but my wife and I only had basic cable so we did not get MTV2 Cry

But, over a year ago we did get digital cable and now we do get MTV2 and I have been watching Headbangers Ball as much as I can. When I can not watch it I will record it onto DVD discs and watch it the next morning or later Cool

It is a good way for me to hear songs I might not hear anywhere else and they play a lot of the heavy metal I do enjoy including some classic metal like older Iron Maiden.

Does anybody else here watch and enjoy Headbangers Ball?

Oh yea, if you have not seen it and are interested in watching it, it comes on Saturday nights at 11pm or midnight (Eastern time)

I enjoy the show, although I don't watch it on a regular basis. I also find it a good place to hear songs I otherwise wouldn't know about.
