Deftones, Tool and Pantera all day long 💯❤️

I'll second that,deftones tool pantera to name a few,90s and 2000s metal/rock for me 🤘

The 90s had such amazing metal bands. So many genres were exploding and were so exciting. Wasn’t so keen on that rap metal mind. I loved RATM but the ones that followed like Limp Bizkit were pretty dumb.

Preach bro 💯

Sorry dude didn’t mean to offend anyone. Just didn’t personally like Limp Bizkit. Sorry.

Oh no man I’m with you on the LB thing bro, loved Korn though 😎

Oh sorry man I thought you meant I was preaching to you. Yeah I loved the first Korn album hated the 2nd but loved the 3rd album. Stopped following them after that but still like the odd track after the 3rd album. Alone I break is an awesome track.

I remember seeing Pantera at the Ozzfest back in 98. Amazing set and a wild pit not as crazy as the Soulfly pit a set later that was insane. Love early Deftones up to the White Pony album.

yes but thrash, osdm, 1st wave black metal and the list goes on. So quite a different list but yeah I'm a metalhead

Celtic Frost are probably my fave out of the 1st wave black metal bands. Did you not get on with the 2nd wave of black metal? There are some great bands.

No I do just lower down on my list. Celtic frost absolutely genius band although there was a time they were called death metal

Or even avant-garde?

Fucking love Slayer. Almost find it romantic.

That is the best comment I’ve read. Ever!! It’s fucking brilliant mate!!!🤘

Meshuggah, Sikth, CB Murdoc, all for if you like something properly, properly heavy.

Alcest is love :D

Alcest is true love. I finally see them in October!! Yippee!!!

Dimmu borgir , Old mans child and dissection for me M8 .... Ave satanas

Early Dimmu Borgir for me mate. First 2 albums are great(even the ripped off track on the 2nd album) went off them when they expanded their sound.

sorgens is one of my fave tracks pity m8 i love most of their stuff although my fave albums are Puritanical and In sorte. stormblast will always hold a special place in my heart..

Didnt know this band tahnks :)

does screamo count

Of course Screamo counts man! Love myself a bit of Mice&Men and Bring Me The Horizon. Not sure if they’re Screamo bands?

I'm mid-forties now and grew up on bands like Metallica, Pantera, Machine Head and NIN. I've always been into other stuff as well but it's what I mostly listened to during my teens and twenties.

I don't listen to metal as much as I used to however I've found the old adage that your tastes mellow with age to be untrue in my case. I listen to some much heavier, more extreme bands than I used to and I'm much more open to sub genres I wouldn't have considered before.

My current favourite heavy listen is Lullabies for Eternal Sleep by Apes. Hadn't heard of them until I read a brief review that described that EP as being sort of like post-metal if all the quiet bits were replaced with nasty grindcore. One listen and I'd bought the tracks off Bandcamp. The first track, Cornwall, is savage but has such an amazing groove too.

If you like blackened stuff then check out Apes' earlier album, Lightless. Different to the latest material but still bloody good.

I pretty much listen to every metal track thrown at me with passion :D.
I love albums in every genre.
Some of my favorites bands are Decapitated, Dimmu Borgir, TBDM, born of osiris, meshuggah, lamb of god, well theres too much really ^^..

Metal is definitely a way of life.

Recently i've been listening to the Nomad album by Kublai Khan (insane tone/sound) and a gradual decline in moral by Kim Dracula, pretty strange shit but i love it haha.

1."Reign in Bud" - Slayer (A stoner metal twist on Slayer's classic "Reign in Blood")

2."Black Sabbath's Munchies" - Black Sabbath (Featuring their heaviest hits to satisfy the munchies)

3."Master of Bongs" - Metallica (An epic blend of metal and cannabis-inspired anthems)

4."Weed the Lightning" - Megadeth (Thrashing through the green haze with high-intensity riffs)

5"Paranoid and Paranoider" - Black Flag (A punk-infused, paranoia-inducing masterpiece for the metalheads who like to keep it raw)

check out Mac sabbath .... its burger vertions of sabbath songs XD

I go a lot of gigs and download/bloodstock festival. Some of the best music to have a smoke to.

Always wanted to check Bloodstock out. What’s the crowd like? Friendly?

Yeah probably the most community, friendly festival I’ve been to. Really chilled and there’s not too many people like major festivals.

What do you mean dude?

New Wave Of British Heavy Metal

I’m old but not that old!!! Lol. Do love my Maiden though!!

Seeing Municipal Waste again in October, really looking forward to that one

Recomendations wise, I've been really digging some of the "new wave trad" by the likes of Eternal Champion and Visigoth, super cheesy power metal about goblins and dragons, epic stuff...

Thanks for the recommendations man I’ll check them out. I’m seeing Alcest in October and can’t wait for that.

Must be more then a few metalheads here on LB for sure.

Right now I'm waiting for the re-recording by the Calavera brother's of the Morbid Visions record. Absolutely can't bloody wait for that! Artwork is on point and the sound, my goodness.

But otherwise, been on a death metal vibe recently - the new 200 Stab Wounds EP and the new Kruelty record basically.

Yeah I was thinking the same,that’s why I made the post just to see what bands everyone was into.

Oh if they get that right it should be awesome. Early Sepultura rocks. Love the Arise album lost interest around Roots. That album wasn’t for me. I really like Derrick on vocals even though a lot of Max fan boys gave him a hard time when he joined.

Derrick is a much better frontman than Max

That's true and these later Sepultura albums are genuinely great!

Tonight I've been listening to Cult of Luna and Boris. Last night it was Lamp of Murmuur and Fluisteraars. I'm in my 50s. Metal seems to make more sense the older I get but then the type of metal I listen to now is different from the metal I listened to at 16. Except for Sabbath. Always Sabbath 🤘Music just keeps on getting better.

Absolutely love Cult Of Luna their Salvation album was incredible! Can’t remember if it was their debut? Give Panoption a listen man especially there again into the light album it is pure genius. Austin Lunn plays over a dozen instruments on the album. Can’t wait to see them next month on their first ever UK tour. Always Iron Maiden for me mate though I do obviously love Sabbath.

Oh yeah I love Panopticon too. I was listening to And Again... last night. Also Botanist and Wolves In The Throne Room, sheer sheets of metallic sound, hypnotic riffs it's damn psychedelic as a genre in many ways. Also into stuff like Thou and Primitive Man, I was listening to the last Wormrot album the other day. There's just so much good stuff and such massive variety that it's impossible to not like something that's "metal" if you're into music. If anyone avoids metal they should take a deep dive into all the sub genres cos they'd be surprised at how much they would probably love. From Sunn O))) to Full of Hell and all the stops in between.

I'm wearing a Primitive Man t-shirt at the moment.

Brilliant. I've got my Sleep Dopesmoker one on 🤘

Got my Alcest tee on and had my Emperor one on yesterday! Lol.

They’re ..again into the light album is so good. I found it very accessible compared to their earlier stuff. Still really enjoy their early folk metal inspired stuff. Kentucky is fantastic. I was lucky enough to see Wolves In The Throne Room a few years back. Beautiful gig. It was bombastic and majestic all at once. 🤘

I saw Panopticon a few years back over in Dutchie land, enjoyed them but haven't paid much attention to them since.Do you like Wayfarer? They do a similar type of thing kinda country tinged BM.

Really like Wayfarer too and a Scottish band called Saor. They play a similar style to Panopticon. Can’t wait to see them live,I’ve waited years for them to visit the UK. Gotta travel a few hundred miles but it will deffo be worth it. Much love.

Next years fortress festival looks up your street,

Mate it looks epic!! Panopticon are headlining day one and are playing their entire Roads To The North album!! The entire weekend looks genuinely great too.

Saw Maiden on the Powerslave tour. It was one of my first gigs. Christ I'm so fuckin old.

Would love to of saw peak Maiden.

The Boris/Uniform album sounds like it's going to be a good un.

Dad got me into metal with sabbath i have to agree nearly 40 now .... So many metal genres would not exist without them ..

Yeah Sabbath are definitely the godfathers of metal. Without them half the genres today wouldn’t exist.

and if you into black metal check out Blackbraid they just relesed their second album its Native american black metal if you like melodic stuff check em out i feel they are only going to get better...

Thanks for the recommendation man. I’ll check them out later on they sound very intriguing.

DiUK

Gassed

Could you point me to a reliable vendor thanks

Diuk have rso someone else has it as well but can't remember who it is

https://littlebiggy.com/viewSubject/p/4772945

Could be a while for things to improve. Need LB to start accepting other cryptos!

UPDATE 11/052023

fees are still the same for me, been trying to witthdraw £50 from coinbase and it's asking for £21 in fees every time

does anyone know if i buy more bitcoin and try to withdraw it, the fee will be lower? i've seen this in the past even when the fees are normal, £100 can be cheaper to send than £50 for example, i wondered if that's the case right now?

i NEED to order today or else i'm fucked

No, doesn’t work. I had $105 in mine, trying to pay $90, wouldn’t let me. So I put in another $90, balance was $195. Tried to pay the $90, for ages was still saying dust error, then let me pay $90 but with a $32 fee 😭😭😭 someone on here did teach me about changing the fees, which you can do, but says it might delay payment. Bloody nightmare.

Bollocks! well thanks for letting me know!
Coinbase fees take the piss all year round anyway and now having to deal with this is beyond infuriating

this is so stressful for everybody, i really cannot understand why the topic of a new payment processor and currency isn't just pinned to the top of the topics wall till it's resolved

I tried to pay 105 dollars and the fee was 59 dollars.

08/05/2023

£21 fee to send £49 from coinbase to my wallet

obviously i didn't go through with it, which means i literally can't order

i feel so bad for sellers and buyers right now, we need to find a solution for this instead of just accepting it every time it happens

I just tried to put an order in and fees are £33! Looks like I’m gonna have to cancel order.🤨

I got 60£ fees on 300£🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ can’t doing anything now as it also cost 50£ to send to my bank account due to fees pisss take

Fuckin wild isnt it? I was sending 50 and got hit with 23 pound fee

Yes same. 59 dollars for 105 order so cancelled it. After sending £250 to my wallet but not paying those fees.

fees are extreme all over. Its a case of either holding off on purchasing and hope they fall back to normal over the next few days or paying 20%+ more than normal.

So do you reckon a few days time things will smooth out?

Yeah, saw a 1g tester for $10 I wanted to try.... $19 transaction fee though fuck that

Me too, didnt notice until it was too late

Same here, I slightly underpaid as well so it will cost me £26 to pay the £1.67 difference 😬😂

😩😩😩

Oh my fuck

Yep crazy fees. Gone from 0.77 p to over £4 to send coin for me.
Hiatus.

I purchased £260 of BTC on coinbase this morning 13-05-23
£1 fee to purchase the BTC
£6.73 fee to send straight from coinbase (I normally pay £1-2 total for both) good luck😎

Yeah,me,gonna charge £15-£17 for a £20 buy,wankers,I read something to do more ppl using crypto,high traffic.

Mad innit. Only saw this morning as I checked a cheeky 1g sample. £8 with a network fee of £18 😂

Its mental hahaha hopefully sorted soon

aye same for me with coinbase 22 pound in fees from 60 pound order, whats going on, noticed when was too late

Ripping everyone off before folding?

No it’s just how the transaction process works, the more busy the network is the higher the fees unfortunately, hopefully it dies down soon mate 🙏

Why is the network so busy?

No idea ☹️

My wallet provider is charging loads. Gone up %500 in 2 days.
I tried to by half oz for 105 dollars and the fee was 59 dollars on top. Fuck that I cancelled. My wallet provider said its a back log of transactions being processed. Like 350.000 so to stop people buying bitcoin they have put the rates up until this is sorted.
It's everyone that's being effected on every platform. It's global.

Yup, £37 for a £25 buy.
Really want some eddys frenchy tech, just not with £12 in fees!

There are many, but you have to be realistic with cut off times and occasionally lenient with the pressure on vendors. The ‘need for speed’ causes more disputes on here than virtually any other issue.

The cardinal sin is when you pay for NDD etc and it doesn’t get sent that way. But most vendor’s seriously try to get that order out in line with their service promise.

Great NDD providers in my experience include The Gentleman Dealers, Dr Greenthumb, Dr Terpy and Canadian Imports (but check latest posting days)..

Hi Pollypuff

Spot on again my friend :-)

There is no way a seller can guarantee 100% once the parcel is in the system, many things can happen which are outside of the seller's control.

I see SD more as a way for the seller to see what happened with a parcel if it goes missing. Easier to agree on a refund if the seller can see you didn't get it (so a must for big orders).

As it stands I just received an order today which I ordered SD on Wed last week - posted on Thu according to seller.

I assumed that the Coronation had been wreaking havoc with RM services but looking at the enveloppes they used 1st class not SD.

I've just dropped them a message according to the LB etiquette. Probably an oversight on their behalf.

I remember all too well how I used to get my wares - and what I used to go through - before discovering LB.

As long as it arrives - and the quality and quantity match the order - I'm not fussed.

Cheers

This exactly. If I paid for a NDD service and did not receive it, I would send a note to the vendor and see if they could make it right somehow, if it was that serious to get NDD.

But I also remember back some time ago (lol), when I had to go to the gas station pay phone, page my dude, hope that he calls back quickly, and then wait. Sometimes he’d come in 20 min, sometimes 3-4 hours. And even as of present day, prior to LB, dealing with bs about meeting here or there or where or when… So I have a fairly high pain tolerance for waiting, especially given how incredible it is that finally a place like this exists. But to give the op his due, I would have something to say to the vendor if I paid for something and didn’t get it. But let them make it right for you.

I totally agree. Some Biggas would react less angrily if they got a dog turd in their package than they do to NDD not arriving NDD! 😂

I know this is controversial and beside the point but I tend to order long before I run out so that does tend to help with the stress.

But I’m still the same as every other Bigga at the end of the day…checking for the post 15 times, grilling the Postie like it’s his fault and total disbelief that my fucking package hasn’t arrived the day after I ordered it!! 😖💥😖

But then it all comes good eventually and the world is back on its axis! 😶‍🌫️

I Hear You !

Hi Gortport

Totally agree - this place is like heaven :-)

I know they'll make it right, they're pros and have top ratings, my number one vendor.

Cheers

Hi Biggas

As it turned out the seller did make it right and then some.

In fact I was not upset about the SD not being SD but one of the order items was missing which was my main reason for messaging them.

They resent it with SD and added some freebie edibles :-)

Big massive hats off to DIUK for sorting it out with class, talk about customer service.

Goes a long way to prove that comms is what you need when things don't go as planned. That and sticking to top vendors.

Cheers

With you all the way Dukey!…the only orders I’ve had not ever arrive were sent (or not sent, being the point) by RM first class.
Tracking helps us all. I don’t need the numbers I just need the seller to check it when it’s late.
But you need to get what you pay for and where sellers offer premium postage that’s what you should get…👍👍

Thanks pollypuff

And I always make sure I have something squirelled away for the rainy days too ;-)

When I became unable to purchase BCs last Autumn I had a big enough stash to see me through Winter.

Cheers

dr green thumb receives my seal of approval for sending ndd and providing tracking no issue!

Well, dr green thumb couldn't manage it either and the tracking # they provided doesn't work. Gonna hold off judgement til I know more but I guess the search continues!

Agreed Dude !

Been here since Jan. 25 or so orders in and I've not had a single fail to land. The longest wait I had was 4 days which was the only first class item of the lot. The rest were NDD/T24 and took no more than two days. Of the top off my head (and I sincerely apologise to any vendor I miss off) these ones I have ordered more than once from and they've arrived as advertised:

Dr Green Thumb
Pontiff of Piff
Pistach
Yourmumshouse
The Green Team
Gassed

There's a fair few I have had one order from and again was as advertised (Riley packs, Gen Hub 2.0, Green Cat all had some lovely product). Keen to see how the post plays out though as there's still some vendors I feel obligated to try out soon.

Pistach has been utterly terrible for me. Said they'd send NDD, and didn't even send it til i got in touch with them to ask for tracking because it hadn't arrived. Now being super unresponsive so i don't even know when to expect it.

That's a shame. I've had three orders all drop next day recently. Hope you get sorted anyway.

ULC have always been top drawer for NDD in my experience. Even ordering at 11am delivered next day.

I'm currently waiting on ndd from pistach asked for Tn too

Pistach has been releasing some really good flower at knock out prices lately, they're probably getting overwhelmed with orders. I believe they're also on TG, so busy vendor. Honestly, their stuff is amazing, but sometimes pay a little extra with a vendor you've used before. Have to say though, I've ordered from Pistach and never had an issue, think you're just in the 1% bud :(

I wouldn't mind if they didn't give me an attitude about their mistake and then go no-contact so i have no clue even if my order has been correctly shipped yet.

what is TG?

A shit place

Thanks for the shout out my friend 😎❤️

Eddys hash bar, have ordered from him twice. Both times came next day. Can’t praise him enough, great coms too

Only issue is no flower and no specific NDD option that I can see! Thank you tho :)

Can't look beyond Canadian Imports here...Super stealth and free NDD

GenHub2.0 & Rileys Packs always arrives on NDD for me, but so does UrbanLeafCo on 1st class & its free!!??

We always got you Tallman mate 💯❤️

Dr Green Thumb, RealD and Urban Leaf Co, order from all 3 always get it the next day no issue.

We absolutely can my friend get an order into us before 12 we can get it out that day for ndd..
In saying this sometime orders take a while to come through so we suggest making the order the evening before or in the morning.

Much Love

d i

I always order NDD with plenty of time to spare for this reason, usually before midnight the night before.

Perfect then ;)

Can tell my dyslexia kicks in more when I'm stoned by the fact the topic header I read first time was "Most Reliable Snipper on LB", I thought they only sold weed and shrooms lol.

In regards to your actual topic, The Green Team and The Pontiff are reliable, It's in venders interest to get it sent asap because they have to wait to get those funds from escrow. And if you're like me and live in the sticks with a less than reliable RM then i just accept delays. Also from reading the occasional manifesto it's clear some venders don't post ever working day. But it is always annoying to pay for a service you are not getting.

Our packs are shipped as per our manifesto. If you order NDD before cut off time it will be shipped accordingly.

Shocked to see how many people are not getting their items sent on time.

The one time we missed delivery, all buyers were informed and upgraded to saturday delivery to ensure they receive ASAP.

I send everything 1st Class for free, which usually takes a couple of days. Buyers can opt for Special Signed Delivery, but will have to pay for it. That said, I just recommend free 1st Class.

Honestly, never had an issue with any vendors here. However, special mention has to go to Dr Terpy, without fail, their Free 1st Class RM always arrived next day, and the quality has always been out of this world.
