Brighid of Byrness Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 I'm a big fan of power metal. It's high-energy and the lyrics are mostly about slaying dragons and/or facing the dark lord's armies. Which power metal bands do you like? I like a lot of prog metal. There are so many sub-genres of metal that I'm not sure if I've heard any of what you're talking about. Post a video of one of your favorite songs...please:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have listened to this before writing my Boaz post; maybe the entertainment would have been a bit more exotic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Portrait of Zool Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 LOL - that is VERY understanding! I was going to thank you for adding music to that - I was going to and had completely forgotten. Ane Brun - Undertow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighid of Byrness Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Cool! "I'm just a sweet transvestite...." Fun memories for sure! When I was in high school, a friend and I went to a midnight showing. We went to the restroom before the show and when I came out of the stall, Dr. Frank N Furter was standing in front of the mirror putting on his finishing touches. We talked for a bit -- he was attending the local university and had very long legs which looked nice in stockings -- but then his sister came into the bathroom, took one look at him, started to cry, and said something like, "Mom would die if she saw you now!"

The Portrait of Zool Posted October 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 That's a good story - quite believable! Well, truth be told I've never gone to a show. My ex was into it (she played Magenta, but that was before I met her) and we rented the "tape" and I thought it was hilarious. I saw it at the record store the other day, and thought it was campy and cool enough that I should own it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighid of Byrness Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 They still have showings in DC around Halloween, but I'm not up for that anymore hehe. I went a few times in high school and college, but I never dressed up as a character. I did take a bag of props though, like newspapers, a squirt gun, a piece of toast.....

Brighid of Byrness Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 U2 -- The Joshua Tree This song is totally underrated. I've mentioned that to several friends, but no one else seems to share my view. Oh well....I guess it's just because I fell in love with Bono when I was in college and we left MTV on 24/7 and the song is really about the emotion in his voice.
