Wow, kind of wierd...
I had a pop-up telling me my address, name and every website I'd ever visited once. Scared the life out of me. It's really scary to think that people are watching you.

Machine Head - The Blood, the sweat, The Tears I love this band.

Nothing to do...
Any chance of you taking up an instrument? If not try writing poems or stories, thats a good way to pass time. Does your village have a library? You could get a book on a subject you're interested in. If not, go on a bike ride/ run to a village that does even if it takes you all day.

Best Metal Bands?
I'm totally into Machine Head right now. I bought the blackening the other day and it kicks wagon. Incredible band. The best in terms of popularity must be Pre-load Metallica, almost every metal head will tell you that.

What Appeals To People About Spongebob?
Spongebob is pretty funny. Some of the stuff is aimed at kids but that doesn't mean older people can't enjoy it. Think of spongebob as more of a Lion King type program as opposed to a Tellytubby type program - Older people can still enjoy it without feeling patronised even though it is aimed at kids.

Music taste in your family?
Dad - Classic Rock, Oldies, Rock, Acoustic Guitarwork. Sister - Originally dance and R&B but after a holiday where her MP3 player was broke and mine wasn't she now listens to metal and rock. Mum - Russell Brand, she's not really into music but she loves the radio, Me - Bit of everything but mainly metal.

Your playlist habits?
Mines sorted into artists, then albums. I have all the music in MP3 format and in Windows Media Player. It's all properly tagged and genre'd (not specific subgenres as I'd end up with a week of thrash and an hour of Gothenburg Melodic Blackened Deathcore etc). And I always listen on shuffle, usually skipping tracks till I find one I like.

What movie(s) did you last see?
Alien [hide]Brilliant film, exactly the way I like my horrors. Very suspenseful and not too heavy on the gore. I loved the way the characters got killed off, especially the dude in the Airshaft.[/hide] The bad special effects were pretty funny too.

Listening to songs in a foreign language
I love some foreign music, although I prefere it to be in English. Metal I can listen to it in whatever though, the growling and some screaming can't be comprehended regardless of language.

since everyone else is doing it.....my band:
As a musician and a metal head, I'm very impressed. 'Beneath the Norther' is a nice piece of classical guitar. Totally digging your version of the trooper as well. Are you going to get try for a better production quality or are you going for a black metally sound? 10/10 Very professional playing.

The Ultimate Band (make your own!)
This is incredibally hard for me to do, I know so many good artists that it becomes really complicated as to which playing style would suit who. Lead Vocals - Corey Taylor. This one was easy, Corey is one of the best frontmans and metal singers around capable of a whole range of vocal styles. Rhythm Guitar - John Petrucci. Really great all round player, love his lead work as well. Lead Guitar - Really difficult choice. The best solo (IMO) was Sweet Child of Mine, although I dont think Slash would go well with the rest of the group. I'd choose Jimmy Page for his awesome solo's, especially the one in Achilles Last Stand. Drums - I think that Mike Portnoy would get this spot. His drumming can annoy me at times but I still think its the best around. His drumming on the Train of Though Album was very good. Bass - Jaco Pastorious. Hands down, the best bassist I know by far. I think he would add a jazzy feel to the music and be a better base for the songs than another metal bassist who hits the same note over and over.

Place vibes
That's pretty much what I consider a vibe. Oh. I was under the impression that these special vibes people talked about was just something I was totally missing. Something like a gut feeling.

Place vibes
You don't need special 'vibes' to tell if the other people are comfortable with the situation or not. One look at their face and you just know.

what are you oc about
I don't for a minute think that I have it. When I was about 10 though, I saw a zombie movie and got really scared. I then started saying "Goodnight" to everything in the room. After a while, I felt that I couldn't go to bed without doing it. I stopped it pretty quickly after realising this. I still catch myself saying "Goodnight all" before I turn off the lights, not intending to at all.

What are you listening to right now!?
Absolutally love these guys. Pretty damn heavy and really talented musicians. I'd love to go see them live one day. For a DM band, they sound really clean and nice. I'd love to go see them live one day... "This next song is... [uber low demon voice] Pseudopathological vivisection [/uber low demon voice].

if u could have a superpower, wat would it be?
The ability to stop time and not age. That way I'd be able to learn every language, every instrument and still be able to disappear, take stuff without moving and steal anything I want. It would just take a bit of effort.
-
What are you listening to right now!?
I'm looking deeper into Doom Metal at the moment. Moonspell and Candlemass mainly. The moonspell singer has a brilliant voice, very sexy. Doom metal is really heavy, slow metal. I didn't know what to expect when I heard of it but I really like it. Moonspell - The Butterfly Effect into Opeth - Still Day beneath the Sun.

The best way to annoy someone?
Talking directly over their shoulder. Or totally invading their personal space, that really winds me up.

If you could change one thing about yourself?
Physically, I'm happy with myself although I wish my hair would do what I want instead of going nuts every morning. It settles down by about lunch though, so I only look like a muppet in the morning.s Mentally, I'm also happy. I could do with being a little less overconfident, its going to get me hurt someday. I like being able to take on any challenge though, it makes things more interesting.

The White Stripes
I missed out on the O2 festival. I had planned to go but then my parents pulled my permission. My mates had a great time too :( Anyway I love the White Stripes, especially The Hardest Button to Button and Seven Nation Army. Awesome band.
