I've been thinking about getting Damage Plan's album for a wee while, from what I've read about it, it does sound good :-)

"Damage Plan"... I dunno, it sounds like they're trying to break into the DC emo scene! :lol:

Seriously, why do people choose such horrible names for their new bands? It just seems so half-arsed. The music too, just my opinion, doesn't really go anywhere... :-?

But er, I'm a punk, what do I know about metal? he he :-D

Another album for you guys to buy:

Probot

Don't be put off that it's Dave Grohl's side project - it sounds nothing like the Foo's.  Each song has a different singer...

The Foos kicked arse back in 1997... These days, they suck, oh well! But this is definitely something I'll be checking out.

Yup, you're a punk guy. I'd say about the same thing about most modern punk. Execpt I'd be even more harsh about modern punk. I don't get it. Most of these bands seem to think it is all about image. Color the hair, dress like 70's punk and all of a sudden you are punk and your music is cool? i don't get it:-)

Well, if you're thinking of Blink, NOFX, Rancid and their ilk, I agree with you 100%. Except that they're not punk ;-) And real punks have pretty normal hair these days. As I think I've previously indicated, I like some metal. I just happen to hate 85% of all music.

Oh, I was kinda joking with the punk guy statement. Goddamn, I hate my nickname.

The Color and the Shape was probably their best album, none of this emo-type stuff they're doing now.

Dude, 'Colour and the Shape' is the real emo-type stuff they did! Trust me on this :-) The new stuff is just weak pop.

Er, to elaborate... you know 'My Hero', that kinda droning guitar lead? Soundwise, that's what people used to call emo, before it became a buzz-word.

I'm pretty sure they have one original member - Shane Embury the bassist.

Nope, Nik Bullen and Jim Whiteley played bass on sides one and two (respectively) of 'Scum', according to the sleevenotes here.

edit: Oh yeah, their original guitarist was none other than Bill Steer, who was also the guitarist with Carcass, the best EVER death metal band IMHO!

Hell, yes! :-D

Ah right, I must be thinking of the wrong album, not the first time that's happened ;-)

Umm, I've just realised I sounded like an utter dick just then... sorry :-(
