Raz0r Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Any Volbeat fans on here? I just discovered these guys last year, they're kind of a cross between Metallica and Elvis. I'm hoping to see them live in a few weeks, there going to be playing by me on the same bill as HIM, All That Remains, and Airbourne. Should be a good time. \m/ \m/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I've heard them at a few festivals, and always enjoyed them. Really need to properly check them out now that Rob Caggiano is playing with them though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raz0r Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 Rob is actually on a couple of tracks on the new album they put out this year. Good album IMO, very melodic classic metal. I also recommend the album before this one, "Beyond Hell, Above Heaven". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eye2eye Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Rob is actually a full time member right now, very good band and their recent album is really great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetness Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I know this girl who's firends with their manager, she gets VIP passes to festivals they play and hangs out with them and shit.I can't stand this band though, just... not my bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st0n3r Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 They were awesome live before they got so big. Saw them in may or so this year and quite frankly it was disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the melodies are fucking great IMO, so it's easy for me to get past that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon87 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I was into them a few years ago, I think I even started a thread about them on here in 2008 or so, but I haven't listened to them for years. They started popping up in TV commercials here in Germany and these songs sounded really poppy, which I really didn't like at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raz0r Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 (TeamRock Radio) Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian proved there's no hard feelings with former bandmate Rob Caggiano when he joined Volbeat on stage in Hollywood on Monday night.The ex-colleagues teamed up for a section of Anthrax classic I Am The Law before delivering Pool Of Booze Booze Booze from Volbeat's 2005 album The Strength / The Sound / The Songs.Caggiano jumped ship in January, saying he wanted to concentrate on production, and went to work on Volbeat's Outlaw Gentlemen And Shady Ladies. Just weeks later it was announced he'd become a member of the band leading Anthrax drummer to admit it seemed "a bit sketchy."The thrash giants have since confirmed Shadows Fall axeman as Caggiano's replacement, with Ian telling TeamRock Radio: "I know we haven't said anything official yet, but in my mind he's the guy."View a fan-shot video click here: http://www.teamrockradio.com/news/anthrax-ian-joins-volbeat-on-stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luciusfunk Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I've heard two songs on a local hard rock station. Those two songs are alright. I've been meaning to check them out, just haven't gotten around to it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
