And if you like progressive rock/metal, check out Cynic. Their one album Focus is just too great.

Alternatively, Gordian Knot. Same members, no lyrics, way mellower. Gordian Knot's self-titled is amazing, beats any Tool album, IMO.
And to the few who think Trivium/Bodom/LoG are more talented, I'm sorry, but you're wrong. They would have a hard time actually trying to play Tool songs. Not a single one of those bands has ever played a song entirely in 11/8 time, because it's too hard for them to pull off. Tool on the other hand, does it a few times. There definitely are more talented bands out there, and more unique ones (even than King Crimson), but do not compare Tool to standard metal fare.
I wouldn't even need a bigger hard drive, really. I have about 5 gigs of demos, half a gig of music, a gig or so of videos, half a gig of arcade stuff, I'm not gonna download any TV shows or Movies, all I need the other space for is game saves and the Halo 3 Beta
Music with words is the worst kind. So many bad singers out there who mess it up for the rest of the musicians. And music without words is just better.
The best beer I've had so far is Yeungling. Haven't had a lot of beer though. Only had Milwaulkee's Best (bleh), Natural Light (bleh), Natural Bohemian (bleh), Bud Light (bleh), Guinness Extra Stout (just plain wrong), and Molson's, which was actually pretty good. But I imagine I'll probably have something better in the future.
[QUOTE="crucifine"]Agreed, not many people actually know a whole lot about Conan. Like how it was the first solid fantasy series to gain any acclaim...I'm extremely excited for it, but I'm not hyping it yet because it's not out until later this fall.Bgrngod
Uhm... Lord of the Rings?
Like the other guy said, 1932. I have the first 12 stories. Instead of taking an incredibly long time depicting the same world and doing the same great geas (nothing wrong with it, mind you, LOTR were great books), the first Conan books were all short stories, where every sentence had importance. Robert E. Howard would do one quest at a time, describing smaller areas of the world. He had to, because all of his stuff was part of Weird Tales, a fiction/fantasy comic book/literary magazine. However, other authors borrowed his original setting and history and made their own longer books (still maybe only half as long as say, The Two Towers), which also had little to no filler. Now there are about 80 or so books in the series. Tolkien's books could have afforded to cut out at least a third of every paragraph, because about that much of it was descriptive detail that made it kind of hard to keep reading.
NOT AN ATTACK ON LOTR. More people need to know about Conan.
