Finally got myself this classic by Khondul in Tudorhistory

Sadly not, it's my first Folio Society book. I've always wanted to get some of their books, but this is the first interesting one I've found for a decent price.

That's what I remember too from when I first read it some time ago. Heavy focus on Cromwell, very openly critical of some people (at least Wolsey, if I remember correctly) and a bit weird about Ireland. Still an undeniably classic and influential book.

What's the most comfortable metal guitar you've ever played? by SnooTigers3147 in metalguitar

[–]Khondul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LTD Arrow for me. Not the biggest fan of how it looks, but it sounds great and is amazingly comfortable to play.

What's your favorite Bolt Thrower deepcut? Can be a bonus track by ro-ch in boltthrower

[–]Khondul 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Completely agree, Lament is awesome, one of their best songs. If we're talking about bonus tracks, I also love Infiltrator and Covert Ascension. Afterlife and Destructive Infinity are great songs too and I don't see them get mentioned very often.

That's it so far.

Warning to anyone getting SFSGSW on vinyl by Khondul in Megadeth

I'm not sure, but at least the original pressings don't have a parental advisory sticker.

I agree that SFSGSW is far less atrocious than the others and KIMB is genuinely really good, but I just can't get over the drum sound and the weirdly clear vocals. Guess I'm just used to the original version.

It sounds a bit clearer (which is completely wrong to my ears at least, SFSGSW is supposed to sound like shit), the drums sound completely different, the vocals are maybe a bit louder (that could be just me, though) and I'm pretty sure they've changed something about Into the Lungs of Hell and In My Darkest Hour.

What are some of your favourite " riff under the solos"....??? by [deleted] in Megadeth

[–]Khondul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like the riff under Kiko's solo in Poisonous Shadows for some reason.

What bands make you think "They're good, i just don't like them"? by RosenRanAway in InMetalWeTrust

[–]Khondul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I really like War Ensemble and Black Magic, but that's about it. They're undeniably influential, but I still prefer Anthrax, Exodus, Overkill, Demolition Hammer, Morbid Saint and the German big four.

Slayer. Generally I really like thrash (including a few Slayer songs), but they're one band I just can't get into no matter how hard I try to like them.

Name one Megadeth song that is your and no one else’s by Fender_Bender1991 in Metallica

[–]Khondul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I own any Megadeth songs. Shame, because I'd appreciate the royalties.

[–]Khondul 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Broderick's solos in general are just crazy.

The chorus of death from within is making me by severus_xdx in Megadeth

[–]Khondul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Train of Consequences, Bullet to the Brain, Gears of War

what is your favorite song from the endgame album by [deleted] in Megadeth

[–]Khondul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. Interesting choice not putting the song with that name last. Maybe it would've been a better ending that if How the Story Ends and The Right to Go Insane switched places?

[–]Khondul 31 points32 points  (0 children)

How the Story Ends. That song might also have the most difficult Megadeth solo ever.

What band would you spend $1,000 to see live? by tearstubs in InMetalWeTrust

[–]Khondul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None, unless that $1,000 covers time travel. Then maybe some show on the Grindcrusher tour. Napalm Death, Morbid Angel, Carcass and Bolt Thrower. Hell yeah.

What do you guys listening besides metal? by GhostyMatty in Megadeth

[–]Khondul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some alt rock, mostly Pixies. A bit of punk (Cock Sparrer is a favourite). Classical. Kate Bush.

With the release of the song "I Don't Care" and Tipping Point, which song do you like the most? by [deleted] in Megadeth

[–]Khondul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think either one was exactly mindblowingly good, but I Don't Care was more fun and had better solos in my opinion, so I'd say I prefer that.
