Advantages: Brilliant band, fans rarely get tired of them
Disadvantages: Not ideal for some. Chavs will hate it.

...have been a fan of Machine heads for many years now, since I was about 14 when I first heard of them I have loved pretty much every single song they have ever released, every single video released, every single album released. I think that they are definitely one of my most favourite bands because I never seem to get tired of them. I can go out and buy CDs from other bands, but eventually I get fed up and I always seem to revert back to Machine ...
...------------------------------------- Having seen Machine Head twice I can safely advise you that they are definitely worth the watch. The first time I saw them was at Download festival 2004. When they played there they were amazing and the festival setting really does their music justice. Sometimes you here a band and although you love them and all their songs you appreciate that live gigs aren't as good in comparison. For example, I found HIM ... Read review

★ Bruce Dickinson ★ Most people know who Iron Maiden are, and some know that Bruce Dickinson is their front man. Now for those who don't know who Bruce is I'm going to tell you all that you'll need to know about him. I've done some reviews to try and earn money, I've done some for the sake of it, but now I'm doing a review on something I'm passionate about because in my mind Bruce Dickinson is one of the most influential and inspiring ...

Advantages: Amazing live. Hours is awesome, seven ways is superb.
Disadvantages: Some let down songs.

Seen them live twice. Both times its been totally amazing. Got all albums. Seven ways to scream you name is amazing. There are a few fillers on both casually dressed and hours.

...to me this era of green day was amazing and got me through puberty. Warning is by far my favourite album. Then in 2004 when people thought green day were done they realised American idiot and started a whole new era of punk. I jus love this album it has everything from aggression to romance with boulevard of broken dreams to me being the greatest song Ever written so how could they possibly do any better, well 5years later they release 21st century ...
...that you buy all of green days back catologue as then you can here their different sounds throughout the years also but shennanigans as this is a bside album with covers from the ramones to the beatles and will show you just how versatile green day are. Billie joe is an amazing songwritter and guitarist and to top it all off he has a heck of a voice as well with an outstanding stage prescence that will have you falling in love with them in no time. ...

Advantages: Thought provoking intelligent music
Disadvantages: None

...start...... well, i first heard Marilyn Manson on Kerrang! when i was around ten years old. The song was "The nobodies" and it was the first song that i liked for the fact it was a good song and not because my mates liked it. I remember when i told my dad i liked it, he had a sort of worried smile as he walked to tell my mum her young innocent son was a fan of Marilyn Manson. I think he knew it would make a big difference to my life. Six years later ...
...my room i see a Marilyn calendar, sketches, paintings, 2 DVD's, twelve Cd's and a wall dedicated to him. Just like David Bowie and Alice Cooper, Marilyn is something different. He voices his opinion and is not afraid to be different. He strongly believes in what he says. After reading his autobiography i understood him a lot better. What people don't realise though is his intelligence. In his lyrics there are lots of references and hidden meanings. ... Read review
