I'm the Phantom in my school's version of Andrew Lloyd Webber's version this spring. You're real lucky to have seen the show live performed by professionals. If you don't mind me asking around what time did you see Phantom live, just curious as to who you saw play the Phantom. Sorry, I was wrong! I saw it at the Detroit Masonic Temple! Ted Keegan played the Phantom. I had to look for the Stagebill. Spring 2001! That's really cool man, Keegan's definetly one of the most powerful Phantoms vocally speaking. |

I have all of Smallville on DVD but have only watched up to season 6. I kinda lost interest but having it all there I hope to finish it someday. I guess it won't help saying that the seventh season is the worst! I lost interest, I think, around the third season, but they had all them on sale at Best Buy on a Black Friday for $10 a season, so I went back and watched them. Lex was my favorite character on the show and the only reason I really watched. However, it got better when he left. To be fair, Lana left, and that's what dragged it down for me. I really like it though. It's no Breaking Bad, that's for sure! Then again, nothing is! Not even the music is as good! |

Has anyone ever watched Repo! The Genetic Opera? That thing is all kinds of awesome (even with Paris Hilton in it). I had no idea Anthony Stewart Head was such a great singer. If you like musicals and horror then you will like this  |

If you like musicals and horror then you will like this I started to watch it one time but couldn't really get into it. I might try to watch it again if it ever pops up on cinemax one night. |

I was going to ask your thoughts on the new Korn album, because I saw so many Korn fans here. I didn't like it at first, but after a couple times, it clicked. I've probably listened to it 30 times now. Although, the first five albums, I listened a couple thousand times! It's my favorite album of their since Untouchables. Although it didn't have a song for me better than Did My Time or Alive on Take a Look in the Mirror, I enjoy listening to it through more, so that's why I like it more. It could change. None of them compare to the first 5 albums to me yet, but I'm glad their evolving. Slipknot, Korn,and Stone Sour are my favorite bands. You don't want to know how much money I spent on Corey Taylor Slipknot masks! I first heard him through the song Bother on the first Spider-Man movie sountrack, which lead me to Slipknot and then Stone Sour. I've only listened to it a couple times myself, but damn, yer at 30, lol. I definitely like it better than Korn III, but I'm on the fence whether I like it better than Path of Totality. But when I first started it, I was like "yeah, this is more like it." It harkens back to the days of Untouchables or Take a Look in the Mirror, but I can't really say any of the songs stand out. Maybe "Never Never." But like I said, I'm only at 2 listens. Either way, I like it so far. Slipknot and Stone Sour are great bands too. House of Gold and Bones 1 was a really good album. Lots of bands seem to get bland over time. Disturbed got kinda bland. Then David Draiman came out with Device, and that sh!t was pretty good. And then I was really surprised by Drowning Pool's new album "Resilience". They're on their 4th singer, or 5th if you count before Dave Williams. Honestly though, this singer might be the best. The new album is definitely their best overall album imo. Probably my top album of 2013. |

I'm glad to see so many other metal fans. Might be something about Dragon Ball and anime in general that speaks to metal lovers. I used to love the use of Celtic Frost's song The Heart Beneath on the old Manga Entertainment VHS tapes.

Aw come on. Gerard played a great Phantom  He's okay for someone who never had any singing practice before getting the part. I just don't like the way he hits some of his notes, they come off a little sloppy. I mean he's nowhere near as bad Paul Stanley's Phantom was. I hope I do a better job than Paul did at least. I know you didn't care for Gerard as The Phantom but there is no way you can't say that Emmy Rossum played one of the best Christine's ever Also try thinking of a lost loved one during this song and not get emotional  |

Her performance is really impressive coming from a then 17 year old. If you ever get the chance check out Sierra's version of Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again on the 25th Anniversary show. It's really moving. |

Now I'm over 30! I didn't like it on my first 2 listens, except for "What We Do". I skipped Never Never completely, and barely got through it when it was first released by Korn on youtube. I was like "What are they doing?" However, I finally like it. I agree, they're aren't really any stand out songs. I think it's the first Korn album that doesn't have any songs, where I think "This is going to be in a top 10 or 20 list". Every album, I had a couple songs that I had to constantly repeat. However, I keep listening to the whole album, rather than individual songs, so that might be a better compliment! I really liked Path of Totality the first week, but haven't listened to it much since. However, I'm not knocking it because I listened it at least 20 times. Although, I think I listened to some songs at least 50 times. I don't really care for See You on the Other Side anymore, but I listened to it over 100 times when it first came out, so how can I knock it?! It's just not like the first five albums where I listened to them over a 1000 times, and still do! The only one of the first five I can't listen to fully is Follow the Leader, because of songs like All in the Family. I think I listened to Korn, Life is Peachy, and Issues over 2000 times. I thought Part 1 was good as well! I noticed you didn't put part 2, for House of Gold and Bones. Unfortunately, I couldn't get into it. I'm happy with all the great reviews, but I was bored. I actually like the first Stone Sour album the best. Is Part 2 out yet? I didn't even know, I'll have to dl it sometime and check it out. lol, All in the Family is a wild song, and I can understand not liking it. It still makes me lol whenever I listen to it myself. Follow The Leader is probably my favorite album from Korn. It's the first album of theirs that I got, and I didn't get the first two until after Untouchables. As a result, I don't like the first two albums as much as most later albums. But I like them all, just some more than others. |

Oh, I've listened to it probably around 20 times. I just don't like it anymore, and I stop listening to the album at that point, because it turns me off. Although, if I skip it, I like the others, but sometime I want to go through the whole "story" experience. I've liked every Korn song, and listened to them a bunch of times. Just not 3,000 times, like some songs!
