Well I am sure we could go on and on about stuff that we might think anyone else may be cheating themselves out of, but truthfully, it takes me a while to warm up to new things (music and otherwise), plus I am a big-time procrastinator! And unlike others on this forum who actively seek out new music, I usually come across new music by chance or by repeated (  ) recommendations from other people (Schroeder - LOVE those PORCUPINE TREE guys!!), although even after all the discussion here about Probot, I still haven't had the inclination to listen to it. I would also include the fact that I wasn't really a hugefan of any of the artist on the record in the first place except, of course, Voivod. I do like DRI, COC and King Diamond so maybe one day I'll get around to listening to it. Until then, I'll keep listening to The Victims Family .....sorry, couldn't resist!!!

I got to talk to Dave Grohl at length about Voivod after the Foo Fighters show here in N.O. last May. The man is very genuine and very cool. Knows alot more about "metal" than you'd think. I love the Foo Fighters & Voivod, as well as the Probot CD. The songs on that disc are exactly what they are supposed to be. In my opinion, it's detractors are dellusional. I spoke to Ben from Soilent Green at the Fu Manchu show here last month. He also likes the CD (although slightly disappointed with Tom G's performance). I'm not sure why so many are down on Dave Grohl. It may not be the #1 album for 2004, but it's alot better than most of the other crap that passes for metal these days. I've been away for a while. Coming back, it surprises me how elitist and closed-minded some Voivod fans sound. It's sad.

Hey NOTHINGFACE, welcome back!!!Maybe people don't like Grohl, because of his assosiation with Nirvana, or the Foos are too pop oriented for them... not me, the guys a genius and writes great tunes, and brought together an album load of my favorite singers who I hadn't heard anything new from in a while, and introduced to me a handfull of vocalists I really hadn't heard before. I wonder if peoples opinions would have been different if this was a project with Lomardo instead of Grohl??? nice to have another open mind back on the forum -------------------- yawn

Not unlike other underground music fans, most metalheads tend to condemn an artist for life, just because he makes money out of his music. -------------------- "Forty-five moments of perfection translated through a cautionary escape into the perils of the mundane, the inherent entropy in ultimate order, and the potential threats of eternal, unchecked apathy in civilization; all cloaked in musical expression so thoughtful, creative and forward thinking that almost a quarter-century later, few can even comprehend it, much less match it."
