Down

Just wanted to know. Does anybody on this forum like Down?
Personally, I think they're awesome.
All of their albums rock.
I love the individual members bands also (ie: Crowbar, Pantera, Corrosion of Conformity, Eyehategod).

Thoughts?

I really enjoy Down's music alot myself, especially their first release , II & III are also highly addictive doom metal releases as well though . Phils voice is so expressive in Down and the music is just great. Great band.

Yeah, I like Down especially II. I heard they will release a new one in 09'-'10

I just recently got into these guys. I think they rock!

they are ok, sure.

Oh wait ! I have III in my player right now
\me pushes play

new album is meant to be coming out next year, and a live album/dvd is in the works but nothing has been conformed yet.
they are also meant to be re-recording NOLA with Rex on bass and remastering Down II.
should be good

I'd love to get my hands on that DVD. That would be bad ass & I'm also going to be buying anything that they might be putting out. I have no doubt that whatever they put their efforts into will worth my money.

i went to see them in Manchester a couple of months back and they were awesome.
no support band.
just 2 1/2 hours of Down. one of the dest concerts i've been to in a long while

how can you laugh, when you know I'm down...

lol

I had Down III for a while, but I couldn't get in to it. The production was a little rough for my tastes...

I have NOLA. Pretty good.

Re-recording Nola is stupid. Don't mess with classics. Didn't we just discuss that?

Love Down

they ain't re-recording the whole thing, they are just going to re-record the bass.
Personally i don't see the point since Kirk recorded the original bass parts anyways, but i guess they just want rex to be a part of the first album .
But still, Down are awesome regardless!!!

Right, but even that is pointless. And I don't believe there are any leftovers from that time. I have two demos (CDRs) from that time, and every song appeared on the album.

gee, i wonder if Crowbar will erase Todd Strange's existance from their catalog as well?

I've had NOLA in rotation since I got it. Fave song: "Stone the Crow".
