Hey Im moving to Boulder and I feel like starting a metal band where all the members are climbers!
It cant go wrong in boulder I bet climbers are totally coming to see us play!

Instead writing songs about war , death and destruction we can write about ripping pro , running out , feeling scared , taking whips , bad belays , getting benighted , having to down climb choss , waiting for a slow party to climb in front of you , whatever , you name it!!!

All we need is a guitar player that can play super heavy , a bass player with sick distortion and a dude that can scream "off belay" louder than everyone , I will play the drums , you can expect plenty blast beats and double bass!!!

Im serious , lets rock Boulder !!!

Boulder grindcore is the new Swedish grindcore!!!

METAL!!!!

sounds cool. my wife could write a song about belaying me for 6 hours 6 minutes and 6 seconds on an OW while she shivered in an icy pit of despair. i don't have any guitars any more, but i will definitely show up and hurl beer bottles at the stage (only if it is shrouded with chicken wire, safety first!).

The Death Route would be a rad Grindcore name!

Boulder and metal heads? Come on now. Metal and Punk require some degree of nihilism, which is a hard commodity to come by with all the trust funds and successful careers up there. Add to that the Shangri-La environment and the multitude of well-heeled hotties, and the intensity quickly gives way to serenity; and by extension crap like 3OH!3 and String Cheese Incident. Be careful up there son.

Should I dust off my trusty Ibanez axe and once again raise the goblet of Rock? Sounds inviting! My only claim to metal fame is that my former band used to play on the same stage that Dimebag was murdered on, and we opened for Overkill. Now that's f'kn metal!! \m/

All I hear are even more reasons to tear the shit out of the city , I may have to play drums with hammers when I find the right maladjusted I'm looking for !

All you need in one rotten apple and the city will turn metal!
I believe everyone is a metal-head , they just dont know it ...

Im not giving up ... the harder it is the more fun the route is right?

X-ROUTE shall be the name of the band! (thanks for the inspiration Chase)

NAPALM DEATH lives!!!

I'll be first in line for Whitesnake/Judas Priest at Red Rocks tickets. My last 2 shows were "the Sword", "Tenacious D" and if you don't have tickets for Mastadon at the Fox coming soon you're just not thinking.

hey i think i thought of a new genre for us.... instead of hard core, or grind core, how about ..... CORE SHOT!

overkill is pretty classic. that would be cool to open for them. nice work! RIP dimebag.

can any of you drummers hammer like nicholas barker (i think that is the fat dude who plays/played for dimmuborgir and fear factory?)?

cool thread, thanks for an opportunity to take a minor detour out of office space.

Shit if you don't have tickets to Kreator and Exodus on May 5th at the Bluebird Theater in Denver you're just not thinking. I won't be hard to spot, I'll be the climber with the backbrace and broken leg at the show(I was dropped 40-ft sport climbing).

I've been gettin more into metal over this last year or two. I don't play anymore though(used to play drums self taught back in high school for a punk band).
I would totally come see a show.
Especially if you sound anything like In Flames or Soilwork.
Oh yea and speaking of fast drummers, anyone ever heard the drummer for Keep of Kalessen? WOW.

Justin that's cool you know of pinhead circus, I still have a couple of their CD's.

best thread ever on mp. Dio and Maiden -- interrupted only by Motorhead -- have been playing on endless loop in my head for the last month, specifically Holy Diver and Fear of the Dark. Can't shake it and don't want to. Skimming the replies, I thought Andy K was a god sent to us by the Beast himself -- but then I saw this:
"Come on Justin, no more hippies left in B-town. More like "too many sunny, well-adjusted world views here to have a metal scene".

=}"

--No offense intended, but dude, this is a metal thread. Satan doesn't use smiley faces.

My Indie band opened up for Killwhitneydead. That as close to metal as I get but if X-ROUTE plays a show I'll cruise down to boulder just to watch....and climb.

Pinhead Circus!! Hell yeah!!!

I used to get drunk with Scooter back when I was playing in my crusty punk/ska/hardcore band.

I got some talent, 11years worth on guitar. I actually just came up with some new riffs the other day that could totally rock your face off. More like old Strung Out than Metal though.

LOL I can't let that go unquoted. That's almost as funny as when Pantera threatened to make me leave a club for being too radical.

I think we can beat the face harder than the Swedish , these guys could not climb a 5.7 to save their life, so we are more badass from the start!

Most people cant visualize how heavy , heavy can be!

Now imagine songs about climbing ... instant success!!!

Fuk im so psyched!!!!
