Absolutely stoked to be seeing one of my favorite, underrated nu-metal/industrial bands from the early 2000s tonight in Des Moines

I don't have a specific song. Just a few select artists that I will turn the channel immediately: Led Zeppelin (except "Immigrant Song", Radiohead (except "Creep"), Coldplay, and Death Cab for Cutie
Fuck your favourite song. Tell me your least favourite song. The one that makes you die inside the moment you hear the first 3 seconds.

It's never going to happen, but the NFL has a chance to put together a halftime show next year that will likely piss most people off, but will make me specifically very happy. Give me a tribute to Bay Area #Thrash. Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Testament, Exodus, Death Angel, etc
Those Disembodied Tyrant EPs were incredible! Great choice. And Opal in Sky needs more love

What's the most underrated song by on of your favorite bands?

Mine is Nutshell from Alice in Chains.
My top 5 albums of 2024 has been posted on #TikTok. Check out what I loved from last year, and let's all gear up for what 2025 has in store for us!
It's New Year's Eve, which means it's time to unveil my picks for #AOTY. The first part of my top 10, numbers 10-6, is up on my #TikTok now! Check it out and tune in tomorrow for the top 5!
Being in #Metal spaces and seeing people drop their #AOTY lists is kind of making me feel like the only person who "doesn't get it" with #BloodIncantation

Default was the opener, Trapt was second, and Nickelback was the headliner.

In my defense: Default's debut album was a banger, this was 2006 -- before we knew about Chris Brown being a terrible person -- and I will never apologize for being a Nickelback fan
Unpopular opinion: People listing the first band they saw in concert should name the opening act for the first band they saw in concert, assuming they arrived on time for that.

To take this in a #Metal direction (cause that's what I do), aside from their latest album, this is largely how I feel about #Jinjer
i like the idea of boygenius more than i like boygenius

We've updated our "Metal Band Starer Pack"!

Just checked out the latest #VCTMS EP, and we have a new, late contender for EP of the Year. This is fantastic
I have purchased tickets to see #Spiritbox in Des Moines (technically Waukee....it's the same thing to most of us Iowans, whatever), and I've realized something:

If they play "Constance" and #DyingWish plays "Paved in Sorrow", I'm not sure I have enough water in my body for all the tears I'll shed
Sick New World up and cancelling for next year feels....weird? Like, they had some HUGE names on the bill, and I can't imagine ticket sales were THAT bad to force a whole-ass cancellation. I gotta think something nefarious is afoot there
Time got away from me this week with the #Thanksgiving holiday, so I'm not going to have my "Best Metal of the Week" video up on #TikTok until Monday this week

"Pisces" by #Jinjer is going to be my top song -- as it has been for 5 of the last 6 years. Either #Trivium or #Spiritbox is going to be my most-listened artist

Perfect example of how you'll never please everyone in the #Metal scene: My #Spiritbox "Eternal Blue" track-by-track ranking on #TikTok gets a "Why aren't they all perfect?" comment followed almost immediately by "Most of these songs are average at best".

There's just no pleasing some people
Let the record show you were at 667 when I followed, so I'm not the one who messed up the 666s 😂
