Rolling Metal Thread 2010

sorry for the n00b q but which one r u?

Winger

ah awesome congrats d00d!!

uh there's no band named that on the tracklist

Nate is the drummer for Gay Dad Witch Mountain.

ah! will have to check 'em out. congrats Nate!

Thanks guys. We are flabbergasted to be in such good company. 13 years we've been waiting for an opportunity like this.

It's funny that we're between Saviours (who played right before us at last year's Fall Into Darkness fest) and Isis (who we played main support to on the Celestial tour). It's like metal history is cyclical or something.

the heaviest bands in existence! congrats dude.

right on, nate!

It's like you're the tasty iron filling in a heavy metal sandwich. Congrats!

Wow, that's pretty damn heavy.

Congratulations Nate! And the song sounds great.

New Torche is good and I'm currently enjoying new Envy!

btw since there's chat on ILE about an I Love Football board, anyone for or against an I Love Metal? (not im not for or against it, just wondering what everyone thinks)

against--no reason to break up ilm

Sounds like it would get more use than a board made for NOIZE dudes.

i see what cad is saying, at the same time rolling metal thread is unwieldy and murder to find things on. you cant just revive it like you can with individual threads, but most metal bands you cant start a thread on as you might get 1 or 2 replies.
otoh i think some are put off posting to rolling metal thread as theyre not a regular

I know I find it very hard to just jump into the rolling metal discussion. And one thread for all of metal just isn't enough, IMO.

then make 2 rolling metals per year. this is an extremely friendly thread btw so no one should be put off from posting.

i think people should be encouraged to make threads for individual bands if they want. i would hate to see ilm balkanize.

plus a lot of chat about albums on this thread is journos who have promos who hear stuff months before the rest of us do, that's not so great, individual threads on a board allow you to revive.
bur, the thing i like best about the rolling threads are the community feel of it. all mates together, but i can see how that's offputting to some. but I dont think we're clique-y at all, are we?

i think cad might agree with me on the latter!

i dunno every time someone has come in here asking abt something or looking for help i feel like they get multiple useful responses

i do agree that it's tough when discussion about an album happens months apart, but for bigger albums someone should just make threads for them or use a thread for that band

problem is, even scott complained about all the metal threads on ilm.

scott is ornery tho

better not let him MOD it then :)

you could still have this thread, and leave the sub-board for threads on individual bands & albums.

unrelated but you guys should totally get a football board. not because football threads "clog up ile" or whatever, i just think you all would have a lot of fun with it

i know, but it's the football fans who are against it!

yeah they don't know what they're missing

ilh and ilnfl are the two best boards on the site

for the same reason you wouldn't like a metal board. but threads on niche stuff not clogging up the main board makes sense. It works for other sub-boards.

i kind of understand that for ile, but why exactly does ilm need to stay "unclogged?"

dunno, im not one of the ones who complain about new answers being clogged up. but then again I dont use site new answers.

i use sna. i don't even hide threads!

i mean boards

Just got to hear the Christian Mistress record - holy hell is that great! Rhythm section had me bobbing along, and Christine Davis' delivery is emotional and real, perfect pitch be damned. Great, great listen. Thanks to all on here that have repeatedly brought it up.

I would visit an I Love Metal board. It would keep me from getting caught up in annoying discussions about contemporary hip-hop and other things I shouldn't really be wasting my time thinking about.

This thread (and the people on it) = 90% of the reason I check this site.

The other 10% is the Rush threads, right?

i didn't expect phil to be in favour of a separate board tbh

even if we all agreed to get our own board, I wouldn't know how to go about getting it, plus who would mod it?

against--no reason to break up ilm

cad otm

I wouldn't mind a separate board - I have less and less interest in the general discussions as the years go by - but I don't see it as a necessity.

rolling threads/big bands/existing threads would still exist on ILM. Board would be for smaller bands/albums or even rolling BM, Rolling Doom, Rolling grind, Rolling Shite Metallica Album, etc etc

Rolling Shite Metallica Album

can this be its own board too?

Shite Metallica Albums: The Board

you just want an I Love Markers board, admit it

Isn't that covered on ILTMI?

Was just listening to that Father Befouled today, really really digging it.
