Hi Steen, Excellent job on the website! Keep it up. Been a Metal fan for a very long time (since 1977) and it's always refreshing to see the dedication of fellow Metalheads such as yourself. Rock on! - Richard from California

Hello there. Did you know your name means 'stone' in mij language? (i'm from the Netherlands) You seem like a very likeable guy. I also discovered good music pretty late in life. For me it came in the form of Rhapsody. I'm very picky concerning music and only buy the very best of the best. I also love movie soundtracks like star wars, batman and other adventure movies. You should try looking for them! By the way, if you love piano, you should get the album 'Beethoven's last night' from 'Trans-Siberian Orchestra' . You might know them. All those Savatage guys are involved. Drop me a line if you dare! Le_Wubster@hotmail.com

Awesome review of "Jaded" by TO/DIE/FOR... One of my very favorite bands! Trust me, MOST of the bands out of Finland are the same - KILLER BANDS!!! They have emotions music, wonderful lyrics, and talented vocalists! "Jaded" is my favorite CD of the moment, and it will be for a long time... Now, enjoy the band's two previous albums - and feel how the music of To/Die/For takes you away into dream land... One favourite song of mine (like, EVER!) is the up-beat tune "Hollow Heart" from their second album "Epilogue" ... I will be going to see the band in concert live in Helsinki in May!

Hello, I was hoping maybe you could help me find some CD's. About thirteen years ago I met a wonderful girl from Denmark. She introduced me to a band named Sko/Torp. I loved their music, but only had one tape of theirs. I am now looking to buy all of their CD's. I did a search for a fan club and came across your site. Is there any way you can help me find and buy their CD's. Anything you could do would be really appreciated. I've hit nothing but dead ends in my search. Thanks for your time.

I wish to comment on the Fates Warning news about Mark Zonder leaving the band! About damn time...i always hated the way that guy played! too farging technical and just damn boring like a drum machine....Bring back Steve Zimmerman the old and original drummer who knows how to properly play drums for a song! Love Fates Warning but Jim Matheos needs to wake up and bring back the original members man! Next to go will be that lame ass Ray Alder....and the return of the best high screaming melodic singer in the entire planet! John Arch! Once those guys are back the final touch will be Frank Aresti showing Matheos how to play some real solos! Now final comment: Write some damn songs this time Jim....had enough of that experimental new age noodling shit to last a lifetime...gets some damn Paxil or Midol...whatever will help you get out of the depressive wankering found on Unpleasnat Shade Of Crap and Disconnected. Disconnected wasn't as bad...some good tunes on there. Jim you know I love you man...i mean OSI and all that cool ass shit you did with the old Fates! Priceless! Now if Dream Theater would just ditch Labrie...the world would be right! haha

hey steen!! did you enjoy the show in Göteborg?? Tad morose + Nocturnal rites + edguy!!...amazing show and I just couldn't get enough. Did you have to wait outside when the show was delayed or did you have one of those damn VIP cards around your neck??;) they show was PERFECT and the way they ended it with Chalice of Agony made my tears to take a trip down my cheek..:D Well you and your staff just continiue your work with reviewing and all that because we all are enjoying it, and YOUR reviews does the whole shopping much eaaíer..:D CHEERS!!!

Comment by Steen (Staff) - Wednesday, May 12, 2004

View Profile Comments: 518 Hey swedish! Thanks alot! Yeah I thought the show was excellent. I felt exactly the same way about Chalice of agony!! A major and powerful highlight. We did not apply for any press passes this time around because we just wanted to relax and enjoy the shows, so yeah, we were in the front half of the queue for almost an hour before the doors opened. A good opportunity to drink the last of our beers. Anyway, I spent all the time before Tad Morose went on stage wandering around aimlessly searching for the bar. I went outside and asked the orange-juice hooties where they had hidden the bar and was told it was a smoke- and alchohol free event! Oh man! Then I spent most of Tad Morose's show both moping and laughing at the same time about how weird it was looking at more than 1.000 metalheads walking around drinking little cups of orange juice and not a single beer or smoke. Does this happen often in Sweden? Ah well, it was a funny experience for us but I soon began to concentrate on the music instead. Tad Morose were good, Nocturnal Rites kicked ass and Edguy blew the roof of the building. Unfortunately Tad Morose had some big sound problems. I was positively surprised by Nocturnal Rites but would have liked to hear more of their older songs. But back to Edguy. Yeah, Amazing show. I started right in the middle three rows from the stage, but soon decided to move to the right. The heat was really intense in there. I was jumping up and down through most of the show while trying to sing along. Piper never dies was really cool live. I naturally jumped several feet in the air during Vain Glory Opera and Land of the miracle was a nice breather before I went nuts during Lavatory Love machine and of course King of fools where I became the ultimate jumping machine again. At the end of the show when Tobi asked which song we wanted to hear I was of course screaming for Theater of Salvation, but apparantly all he heard was Out of control... Ahh well it is another of my favorites, so it didn't matter too much. Overall it was a really great show. I left happy and dehydrated... Now I'm really looking forward to seeing them again at ProgPower in Atlanta where they will have to play that most ultimate song of theirs, Theater of salvation. Please Edguy?

So, just in case if u meet any of big bands like maiden, megadeth ask them to play in india - we will outdo the number in rio, donnington and other metal capitals in the world!!!!!! This website rocks man... and i would like to see more reviews on the kings of metal - Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer(i havent found any on this website!!!!!!)

hi steen, its prem again from india Just a thought - U know about the tsunami waves that have hit the coastal india, indonesia, sri lanka and other countries Y not ask some big guys like Maiden to come to india - play for us and donate some amount to tsunami relief? These bands havent played here even once! If they can donate some money to tsunami relief - Its great! If they can play here, i am sure thousands will turn up - will be better

Comment by prem (Anonymous) - Friday, January 7, 2005

I thought since u r the owner of a popular website, u can take this issue further and meet the band members in person and talk about this. Of course the most important factor is to contribute to the relief fund. If they could as well come here and play - trust me, the response will be overwhelming

Come on man, i agree that it is not in the vein of SSOASS, NOB, but still in the top 5 for sure.. Being the owner of the website.. and having that much a large collection of heavy metal, i feel this is an insult for any true metal lover. I know this is your opinion.. but i am sorry dude (this is me.. and i have that much more passion for maiden than anyone else).. i didnt expect a metal freak to rate an album like this. U thought blood brothers is dragging..? ohh please dude... give me a break.. its one of the best songs written by steve.. and u must watch the rock in rio DVD, the crowd was really into the song.. and the overall melody takes ur breath away.. I have no clue as to how u gave this "cheap" rating which they dont deserve! Ulrick!.. i hope u r hearing... 5.5/10 for brave new world? U surely must have some comments for our friend steen This album deserves a minimum of 9, and if anyone gives less than that... please go and hit ur head against the wall.. coz u dont know what metal is all about...

View Profile Comments: 518 Hey Maiden fan, Have you read our rating descriptions? 5,5 is a just above average grade. That is how I feel about this particular album and not Maiden in general. I am a big Maiden fan, believe it or not, but Brave New World is one of my least favorite Maiden albums, I think many of the songs are uninspired and boring compared to their other albums. It has several good moments too, but overall this album was a huge disappointment for me and I can only be honest and rate it according to MY opinion of it. If I did anything else then I wouldn't have any integrity. A rating of 9 for this album on our scale is out of this world to me but I guess it doesn't speak to me in the same way it speaks to you (or Tommy for that matter). 9 is as close to the perfect album as you get and to me this comes nowhere near it. Well, you only offended me a little by implying that I'm an idiot who don't know a thing about Metal just because I don't have your opinion. But I can't take that too serious. I knew my opinion on Brave New World would get some people mad. In the end I agree, "Maiden rulez". But all their albums don't have the same high quality.

Comment by Steen (Staff) - Wednesday, January 26, 2005

View Profile Comments: 518 Hey Maiden fan, First, it's good to hear you dig the site so much! My comments in Tommy's review were very short and concentrated on a few negative points of why I think the album is just above average rather than up to their usual standard. I would like to write a full blown review where I do an in depth comment on why I feel that way about the album and you would probably understand me better, but I just don't have time right now. What I wanted to to was to put my opinion out there because I disagreed strongly with the rating. I could have gone more in depth, but there you go... I have heard BNW at least 15 times by now. When it came out in 2000 I was seriously disappointed and held off listening to it for a long time. Started again last year and really wanted to love it but it still didn't do much for me compared to their other works. I'm not saying that my opinion won't change in the future but at the moment I just don't think it will. This is also one of the reasons I held off commenting on the review for so long (The first version has been online since 2002). Because I wanted to be sure of my opinion. When you call Enuff Z'nuff's Strength mediocre I want to direct your last three comments right back at ya! How many times have you heard it? If you believe that I praise that album just for the fact that I'm also a fan of the band, then you are dead wrong. I will be just as critical when they do an album of lesser quality. I'm not perfect, but I hold my integrity very high. To quote myself from back when Ulrick commented on my Enuff Z'nuff review: "When I write a review I make it personal and state my own personal opinion. If that takes away from your definition of objectivity, then that's your feeling, but we each have different writing styles. If reviews were 100% objective then they wouldn't be very fun to read... And that (fun) is a big part of what this site is about." To put it shortly: The reviews I write are reflections of my opinion and feelings towards an album. All I can tell you is that I do take all the view points into consideration on my way to reaching that opinion. It's up to you if you believe me or not. Most Maiden fans I have met love Brave New World, but I am one of the fans who don't. Can we agree to disagree? Posted by Steen (Staff) Wednesday, January 26, 2005

Comment by Maiden Fan (Member) - Wednesday, January 26, 2005

View Profile Comments: 46 Ratings: 0 Can we agree to disagree? - that is ur question.. My answer - Yes and No Yes - Because "The reviews I write are reflections of my opinion and feelings towards an album" - that is what u have mentioned.. and rightly so, but let me change the word "review" to that of a "view". As a person ur views ought to be respected by anyone! No - Because, dude! ur review is being read by hundreds of viewers online.. and they have the feeling that ur view is what "people" have on a particular album, which u have to "bring forward" to them People "BUY" albums after reading reviews... Definitely u have to pin ur views.. but when 99.99% of the people like the album and u dont, and u r doing that on a large scale basis ("view" and "review" are 2 different things my friend) u have to definitely go "with the flow" How about this - If i had to rate any of the pop albums according to "my" views, or any of the commercial or glam albums, i would hardly give them an excess of 5/10. Do u think it will do any good if people actually are guided by my reviews? But since i am given a job of doing the review, what i would do is to have a look at how it is doing commercially, ask people how they feel about the album, take a collective decision after chatting with my collegues (did u actually do that?) If i "dislike" an album, i would certainly mention it there but if 99% like it, i would strongly mention a line or two which might be something like "please buy the album - most of my mates like it, but i dont" There is also a very subjective issue when it comes to rating albums? If Enuff z nuff - strength can get 10. Compare it with Iron maiden - Powerslave, SSOASS, NOB, Piece of mind Or a Slayer - Reign in blood, Judas priest - Painkiller, Black Sabbath - Paranoid, Metallica - Master of puppets Do u think justice is being done to all these albums and all the acclaims they have achieved just becoz "u" like that album and consider it right up there? If an album is so bloody good as to get a perfect score... trust me steen it would have danced its way to glory at least in the world of metal, where the only focus is on the music.. and we dont give a damn to anything else Overall steen, i just love to spend my time in musical discussions such as these, had a nice chat and thanx for taking ur time away and responding back to my comments Stay metal!

View Profile Comments: 518 Dude, in your "No" reasoning you're telling me to dance!! You won't ever see me writing a review to fit into what the majority of people think. That is not how I'm built, and that is not what this website is built around. Since my opinion is on the same page as Tommy's 9/10 review and only takes up like one-fifth of the space I hardly think that my comments will be the only ones that guide people. There is room for both views and that is what I think makes things interesting once in a while. I don't agree with your view on how a review should be done, so let's just leave it there. I have a wide taste in music and I am not bound by genres. To me it does not matter if the music is pop, glam, commercial or whatever. What matters to me is that the music is long lasting, has feeling and gives something back to the listener. It just so happens that especially Heavy Metal is where I have found that in spades. Just because an album is good does not mean that it will get recognition. If that day comes then my job is done. You can't judge an album on what other people think of it or how well it sells. Each person has to make up his or her own mind. Different people have different taste and there is not much to do about that. Other than try and influence them of course :) Keep reading, and bang on!

Dear Steen, My compliments for your site . It looks great and give's me ( a true melodic rock fan )a lot of information. The reason for this comment is that I was astonished after reading the review of Mennen's "Freakazoid " . It's tasteless and seems to me more as being some personal insult dan a real honest review. The review is too long for just a bad review and contains too much typical inside information. I just want to ask you to take a look at it carefully , because I think it's a shame for your website to publish something like that. Many thanks in advance 'Keep up the good work ! Cheers

View Profile Comments: 518 Hi David! Thanks for your comments on the site! About the Mennen review, I do believe it is Alanna's honest opinion and not some kind of personal vendetta. I haven't heard the album and can't say if I agree with the review or not. The way I see it, I have to completely trust the people who are on the staff and let them express their views and if they feel a certain way that may not be popular with everybody then I will surely not start some kind of censorship. Each person on the staff has their own writing style and yeah, Alanna's comments can sound pretty harsh sometimes, but they are often done with a sense of humor that may not click with everybody. She has upset people in the past and will probably continue to do so in the future. But keep reading David, and I'm sure you'll find something here you'll like. All the best, Steen Posted by Steen (Staff) Tuesday, March 1, 2005

Hi there, I think I have to agree with you that people are allowed to express themselves to what they want to say or write. But I have to be honest that I also think that here is a personal vendetta against mennen. I saw a lot of reviews but never such a direct attack to a band like this. because most of the time it is about music and not about the persons in a band. I hope that you as an editor who takes his site serious, will do something about this. for he rest keep up the good work with the cool site!!

View Profile Comments: 46 Ratings: 0 Hi Steen, Just wanted to say - This page is getting bigger and bigger.. Probably u might want to edit the page and delete my "long" comments that made u talking for a while! I really LOVE this site man.. Thats y the criticism man.. its constructive criticism nevertheless.. So take it in the right spirits Also I suppose Megadeth have 10 studio albums and ur staff has just reviewed one album.. which i feel is unfair to mustaine and his sheer speed.. Also i dont see a name called "Slayer"... I suppose the band is somewhere close to metal to get a mention at least? For reign in blood's sake? Posted by Maiden Fan Saturday, March 12, 2005

View Profile Comments: 518 Hey maiden fan, Thanks for the words! Nah, I won't delete the earlier discussion. I think some important points came across so it's cool with me. I know a lot of great bands are somewhat absent from the site. But the thing is that we started this site only 2½ years ago and we can't have everything online already. We are also getting bombarded with new and interesting releases all the time so it is often hard to find time to write about all those good old cd's in our collections. Personally I still have a loooong way to go before all the albums I want to write about will be online. I just have to take one thing at a time and make sure it's done properly. You can be sure that Slayer and Megadeth will eventually get more coverage. We do actually have two Megadeth reviews online in case you missed one of them. Rust in Peace and Peace sells...

View Profile Comments: 46 Ratings: 0 Hey ho.. Dont i love this website more than u do?? I guess so.. I wanted to tell u and all the readers about something - U have this option of posting a comment for every review.. Now many of them just use this to vent their anger upon the album/dvd that they dont like... Hence sometimes u find an entire para with words "F*** u" written repeatedly.. Please take some action against these.. Delete them.. doesnt go with the website really.. Anything related to the review should be most welcomed.. not otherwise Posted by Maiden Fan Friday, March 25, 2005

View Profile Comments: 518 Yo maiden fan, Based on pure principle I would hate to start deleting comments which I found unsuitable. I have often had an urge to do it but haven't done it so far, only in a few extreme spam cases have comments been deleted. But you are right, many of the comments have no substance and are only very annoying. In the end I guess it reflects that there are a lot of unintelligent people in the world. One thing that really irritates me is when people steal each others names. I have therefore begun making kind of a community system where people can get a unique username, which no one can steal, along with many other benefits. This will also make it possible to claim your older comments. Still haven't decided if anonymous comments should be allowed or not, but know that I'm working on it and it is still some time into the future before this is activated. If you have found some extreme cases of comments you think hurt the site then you are very welcome to email me the ID numbers of the articles and I will look into it.

Greetings Almighty Steen, from Hollywood, California! You really get around bro! What an absolutely awesome life you live! Me too, only on a much smaller scale. 12 years in the US, Canada, and Mexico covering the most outrageous motorcycle concerts and events. We have stories to tell, don't we! I have already started my book, have you too? Steen, I'm going to Canada in July where I'll be going to three concerts of Nazareth....from Scotland. It is the last leg of their whirlwind worldwide tour. I've already established VIP backstage and interview status. You know, they aren't getting any younger, and they have been on the road constantly for over eight months, performing to sold out venues worldwide. And, the audience is more young than older. Russia funking loves them! I am prepared to write and photograph an historical piece on the band. I am in contact with the fans, venues, and promoters worldwide. If you are interested, please let me know. I have not signed anywhere for an exclusive. In the mean time, brother, rock on! The music is the juice of life! It's terminal! Once it gets inside it's there forever! You can contact me at: usaphotos@sbcglobal.net I would be happy to share some of my work. Nancy Cairns

View Profile Comments: 12 Ratings: 0 HeyHo Steen, hope that everybody is doing fine and still rockin' the cradles up in Denmark. Wacken is on my agenda and also the Headbanger's OpenAir in Itzehoe which is takin' place one week before WOA. This is gonna mean hard struggle. Furthermore I read the Poison news this week so there is no chance of not flying to Sweden this year. And I mean Priest is on the bill along with Testament Blue Öyster Cult, Carcass, Ministry and so on. Got some problems (that hopefully will be solved soon) with ordering a ticket 'cause I do not own a Master- or Visa-Card, and contacted the Swedenrock-office.

Did you get a chance to listen to 'Scream Silence - Aphelia' ?? It was a total surprise to me, I was't familiar with the band and didn't know what to expect; but i was absolutely pleased with what i heard. I know you like To/Die/For (not that they are similar or anything, excetp their style), and somehow i guess you'd like their music too. I also wanted to ask you (and other writers, if interested), about your top 10 singers of all times; considering voice quality, singing technique and passion.

View Profile Comments: 166 Ratings: 46 Well looks like I have discovered something new definitely that should be checked out. It is a band called XYSTUS. Not sure if you have heard of them. The release I picked up is called Equilibrio which basically is a theatrical production infusing Metal and traditional theatrical/musical style. Though it does not have as many vocalists as Arjen's last monster cast, but it does involve more than 130 people in the production and premiered in the Netherlands. This sounds like a Broadway musical on steroids. It was a nice treat for me since I also like going to the theater to see musicals. Featured vocalists are Simone Simons (Epica; like I had to announce that), Bas Dolmans (Xystus), George Oosthoek (Orphanage) and a couple of renowned Dutch theater vocalist. Now keep in mind Sensory has released the studio recording of "Equilibrio", which features key scenes from the opera, and far as I know no double CD has yet been released. However, the DVD of the production is available. Unfortunately this is one musical that I doubt will hit the Canadian West Coast. Shame! Posted by Little Drummer Boy Wednesday, February 11, 2009
