Here's mine...


I'm a huge fan of The Metal but I think I'll start with some of my legendary, less angry, favorites.

Probably my favorite band of all time across all genres is Primus. I've seen them live twice, and I've seen Les Claypool live in his solo act once.

It all started with "Jerry was a Race car driver"

For those who don't know Les, fun fact: he once audition for Metallica and they denied him based solely on the fact that he is far too damn good for them.

I've seen tons of bands live (Slayer, Megadeth, Sepultura, Napalm Death, Cannibal Corpse, Korn, System of a Down, Pantera, Slipknot, Lamb of God - to name a few). But Primus is the band that showed me first hand the largest mosh pit I've ever seen, and it was to this mighty cute song:

A few thousand people went ape shit at the 1:37 mark.


I hold in high regard just about everything Claypool releases; if I had to pick a favorite song it is simply, Here Come The Bastards

What's strange though is I'm used to all the extra percussion the Audica gameplay adds, the original songs feel a bit flat without it.
Yeah, I get that too :smile:
I need Audica friends, so I've sent you a friend request. Hope you don't mind :)

When I was done laughing, I looked at the youtube comments, and I laughed again:
I switched to porn when my mom walked in, it's easier to explain

For some reason, this managed to capture the spirit of Thanksgiving 2019. Badass vid! Catchy song, too.

Adding it to my "gym playlist"

I think that deserves some explanation? :)

This song is crazy good:


The 7:40 Mark... OMFG

This is part of that mystery about the "number 7" being the central theme. At the 7:40 mark they play an extended rhythm entirely in 7's.
holy shit..  I have been listening to this album a bazillion times with earphones or via pc speakers, but now I have finally had the chance to blast it at full power through my main stereo rig..   OMG.  are you witnessing the same level of awesomeness that I am?

I need to put it on my home theater system! Thanks for pointing that out. I've heard it through various speakers and headphones, but not my theater system yet.

I've been following their live performances via YouTube. They are getting standing ovations. Such a well deserved treatment for a landmark of an album!

The new series, The Witcher, has really spawned a great song, "Toss a Coin To Your Witcher." It's even on Beat Saber now.

Lots of covers on YouTube, but so far this is probably my favorite. Figured it was worth a share.
