Another Music Thread

[Boozbie]

Im just curious what sort of music everyone listens to and there favorite bands or new bands there excited about basically a area besides what music there listening to at the moment to discuss music.....


Im a big fan of the louder and faster sorts been getting really into alot of Oi! like Blitz, Evil conduct, Peter and the Test Tube Babies. Street Punk like Casualties, Exploited, Career Soliders all sorts of weird metal like viking and troll metal, Blues, Sea chanties, bagpipes Classic rock, Hard Rock, Plain Rock to many bands to name and to many styles to even start. Im pretty much a fan of everything except for most country and rap its cool if your into that I just never could understand what you do at a concert if you cant mosh around and go wild!

So what are you all into?

[Groth]

I'm into metal, anything metal is great. Amon Amarth, All That Remains, Trivium. I like classic rock like Zepplin, Sabbath. um...I do have a liking for techno at times. classical music is good. Bagpipes, oh. i love bagpipes. i hvae two cd's of nothing but drums and pipes, it's amazing.

[dead and loving it]

I love 70's & early 80's hard rock. My favorite band is Deep Purple and I like Black Sabbath, Dio, AC/DC, Rainbow etc.

[Boozbie]

The question is do you like black sabbath when dio was the singer? its almost unlistenable Dio and sabbath are good alone but combined it would be like the lead singer from Wasp taking over vocals for Metallica....actually?

If you like Trivium then you probaly like Ensiferium, Turisa, and Battlelore metal the way its supposed to be EPIC so epic you dare not look at pictures of what the band looks like for fear that you cant like them anymore.....one word example, "Manowar"

AC/DC man Bond Scott was the dude and he went out the only way befitting a badass



PS We all know Motorhead kicks ass so it doesnt even need to be said.

[chewy]

My musical tastes are a bit too varied to go into here. The majority of what I'm currently listening to is HorrorPops, ZZ Top (current album of choice: Rhythmeen), and Tito & Tarantula (current album of choice: Hungry Sally & Other Killer Lullabies). Toss in some old Mojo Nixon & Skid Roper, and I'm all set for my road trips.:)

[Weapons_Check_Food_Crap!!]

Lately, I've been drumming to and jamming alot of Nordic/Winter Metal.

[The Phantom]

I listen to most kinds of rock/punk/metal, but my favs are SOAD, MSI, The Doors and E nomine(not rock or anything, but they're great)

[devourthesun]

How could I forget MSI? Truly one of the best random bands ever.

[fireyredhead]

Rammstein- Du Hast

[devourthesun]

Wrong thread, were talking about what bands and types of music we like, not what were listening to right now :)

[Boozbie]

anybody into the really fast street punk type bands like the casualties exploited, varukers, or Oi punk type bands you never get to hear any of them the get zero radio play even on the underground stations

[Strychnine]

How could I forget MSI? Truly one of the best random bands ever.

i know its going a little off topic but i need to ask, can you please explain how they are 'random'?
im sorry, but i have a HATRED for the use of this word in this day and age, its such a trend to be 'random' or to use that phrase to describe something.

[devourthesun]

Random:proceeding, made, or occurring without definite aim, reason, or pattern: the random selection of numbers.

Which describes just about every MSI song ever written. I'm not saying its a bad thing, because they pull off songs that make no god damn sense lyrically really well.

[Strychnine]

well u need to listen to ALOT more MSI then, coz there songs have ALOT of pattern and a hell of alot of meaning, as straight forward as it may not be its still definatly there.
i would think the word 'eccentric' describes them more so than 'random' tho.
still, at the end of the day their music is VERY straight forward to some of the other great musicans/bands out there.

[Boozbie]

MSI= Mindless Self Indulgence, right? I cant say ive ever heard them ive heard the name enough to recognize it. Im just drawing a blank on what they sound like with words like eclectic and random im guessing they dont stick to 3 chords they anything like Ministry?

[DentFoster]

I have a very diverse musical interest, here's just a few in no particular order.

Cake, 2 Skinnee J's, The Beatles, The Beastie Boys, Rage Against the Machine, Garth Steel Klippert, Morphine, Twinemen, Dyna Flow, Clutch, Steel Pterodactyl, Blackwater Folk Revival, Johnny Cash, Run DMC, They Might Be Giants, Cypress Hill, Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, Calexico, Lou Reed, Loudon Wainwright III, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Deep Forest, Orb, Negativeland, The Crystal Method, Nine Inch Nails, The Fratellis, Bella Bartok, 16 Horsepower, Pink Floyd & much, much more!

[Boozbie]

Orb? is that a electronic band i just like that name reminds me of this time i was really messed up and came up with this elaborate theory about orbs nd ended up saying that word like 500 times in one night i listen to like half those bands there are a good number ive never even heard of

thank god for the internet or i would be listening to nothing but ac/dc metallica and nirvanna

[DentFoster]

LMAO!
Yeah The Orb is electronic/trance/ambient. Good stuff. :drool:

[nirvroxx]

nothing wrong with nirvana in my book...theyre my favorite band, Im also pretty fond of: the red hot chilli peppers, the smashing pumpkins, silverchair, system of a down, metallica, caifanes,cypress hill, snoop dogg, dr dre, ice cube,bone,the beatles, led zepplin, the doors, creedence,NIN,foo fighters, rage against the machine, at the drive in, portishead, pink floyd, the pixies, tad, guns n roses,depeche mode, U2....I like mostly everything, exept the newer hip hop, pop, like britney spears type BS and country...im open to almost everything else...

[DentFoster]

nothing wrong with nirvana in my book...
I consider Nevermind a perfect album.

[nirvroxx]

I consider Nevermind a perfect album.

thats the one that got me hooked...been so since '93....I dont listen to them as much, cause well with only about 6 albums, it kinda gets stale...evey couple of months though, I pop in In utero, or nevermind and rock out.

[DentFoster]

Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magic is another perfect album.

[nirvroxx]

Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magic is another perfect album.

indeed......thats the one that got me hooked on RHCP...ahhhh, memories, some of my best were in the 90's.

[DentFoster]

indeed......thats the one that got me hooked on RHCP...ahhhh, memories, some of my best were in the 90's.
Same here.......the ones I can remember.

[BRAAAAAAINNNNNS]

I'll give you one guess what my favorite album is ~ Life changing!

http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l4/smovld/Spidermanandthewall.jpg

[Strychnine]

umm...the spiderman OST?? :lol:

[Boozbie]

Actually i dont really consider Pink Flyod a band its more a perfect unison of sound created by aliens in human form......except "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" unlistenable, you NEED acid to even begin to enjoy that album.
I really want to go to a Flyod show i saw a dvd of there last tour (insane light show) but i would get kicked out for sure the seats looked expensive and there would be all sorts of buttoned down folks quietly enjoying themselves and in the middle of all that i would be just curled up in my seat wild eyed and shoeless, rocking back and forth humming/grunting along to the music!


PS oh i never said i had anything against Nirvanna its just that there are only two rock stations were i live and they have been playing the same songs every hour since the early 90's.

[The Phantom]

well u need to listen to ALOT more MSI then, coz there songs have ALOT of pattern and a hell of alot of meaning, as straight forward as it may not be its still definatly there.
i would think the word 'eccentric' describes them more so than 'random' tho.
still, at the end of the day their music is VERY straight forward to some of the other great musicans/bands out there.
We know that they aren't making random sounds on purpose, but some sounds in their songs are very random :D

[ZombieJohn]

Crap Zombie John thats off the top of your head thats like every hip hop artist since time began! Props on the memorization skills

:lol: Yeah there is a lot more too... If I went to my myspace list this would be HUGE!

[Sadogoat]

I consider myself to have a rather diverse taste in music generally, although my CD and MP3 collections are primarily dominated by death, doom, and black metal (my overall favourite band has to be My Dying Bride). But I enjoy a fairly wide range of classic stuff from the 70s and 80s from a variety of genres (I even enjoy older classical music). The only genres I've never been interested in are rap, country and trance/techno/rave music.

[Boozbie]

Do you like The Berzerker, sado? if so if you look real hard you can find there ealry stuff and its like really hardcore techno.

[bopeep]

....yeah -- i agree, people are basically getting sick of the same old rock/hip-hop/r&b bullsh*t..... and there is just this big upsurge from a new style coming out of Europe -- best place i've found it so far is a compilation series called 'euro club hits' on itunes -- or check this link: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/advancedSearchResults?albumTerm=Euro+Club+Hits+Vol :drinking::evil::lol:
