I'm doing fine, just doing my best to take it easy for a bit while I'm on spring break, but life is catching up as usual.
How are you doing? I hope you won't be offended but I need to go to bed so I can't read your response until tomorrow or chat for a while
Of course not I'm doing very well, I've just been on such a metal & jazz binge lately that I somehow drifted away from PA. I'll try to stick around better now that JJ brought be back by having a sequel to my dream I had of meeting him a couple of months back
In typical dream fashion, I knew it was you without really knowing it. It was for sure, like "Oh hey Pekka, ready to go?" though you had a beard and kind of dread locks if I remember right.
I tried some thrash and I couldn't do it, even motW and stuff like Isis and CoL. Just not feeling it.
But I'm sooo in love with Pink Floyd right now, lots of classic prog rock, alt, post rock, some of the lighter post metal... But anything too heavy/abrasive/extreme I just have no feeling for. Never been this out of it for metal. But hey I needed a break.

I've been on a heavy Rainbow & Dio diet lately, some W.A.S.P., Uriah Heep, old Scorpions and stuff like that has been good as well. Or Coltrane and Davis and Mingus and stuff. Coltrane's Olatunji Concert is more metal than metal itself.
Funny, Rainbow is a band I have never listened to, despite being one of the biggest names in "classic" heavy metal. I may have to remedy this. And all that makes me want to listen to Sabbath. That is a metal band I've not savored in some while.
And man I can't wait for Jazz Archives. I need more jazz and I'm not sure where to start really.

I got into Rainbow and the Dio era Sabbath just a month or two before Dio died, now I'm kicking myself for missing the chance to see him live Rainbow Rising is a hell of an album, one of my all time favourite heavy metal albums I'd say. The other Dio era Rainbow albums are fantastic as well, and I even like the more AORy eighties material with Joe Lynn Turner.
Jazzarchives is indeed something I'm expecting, but I'm afraid it will be just as massive a mess as MMA's database was in the beginning.
You have a good point Pekka, should just use the internet and others I guess. Start with the big names and albums and trickle down, just like I did with prog.
I will look into Rainbow like, right now.
Good movie indeed Colin, I actually wasn't expecting to like it, but I was pleasantly surprised.

Hardcore is probably my favourite music as a genre after most proggy stuff most of the bands are only really live bands though, IE, not interested in a lot of them outside of a live setting.

Well of course concert. I thought metalcore was really just about beating the sh*t out of people at the concerts.
Eh, that's a part of it for some people for sure, although moshing/hardcore dancing is more just like an energy release/cathartic sorta thing for me. Most people here are pretty respectful (IE you can easily stay out of the mosh/you'll pretty much always get helped up if you get knocked over). I'd never go alone though, need ma boiz for backups when sh*t gets crayzay.
