Kenthia, come on irc, I'll send you some stuff :D
elidroth i have to agree with you there, this new metal I HATE with passion, just cant help it...sorry to anyone who is a big linkin park, adema, or limp bizcut fan..i just hate them
eomer...there is only one thing wrong with lateralus...its fucking tool mixed with a perfect circle, which is one of my FAVORITE cds but for christs sake i expect tool to have a specific sound to it, not non stop acoustic shit with some heavy metal in the chorus....its just not tool in my eyes, i dunno if anyone else feels the same...was just expecting a little more heavier/dark cd, also maynord almost never says fuck, think he only says it like 1 time in track 8...dude cmon maynord has to say fuck a ton for it to be tool!!!!
Bolien - glad to know someone is into european goth metal other than me :) rock on man
I do agree that the album isn't as heavy as their past efforts, but for some reason I really really like it. And my favorite part about Tool was never the really heavy parts, but the long long drawn out instrumental parts of their songs, so maybe that's why I enjoy Lateralus more.
And actually, Linkin Park is a not bad band. Musically and lyrically they are pretty damn good, I think. Better POD or Papa Roach. I don't think they are incredible or anything, but they are very damn listenable.
Maybe I'm smoking something, but isn't the lead singer and songwriter, for these two, the same guy?Quote:

I wouldn't say lead songwriter, but singer yea. Tool cooperatively writes all their music, not sure about the writing process in APC though.
I guess I'm the only person left on the planet that just doesn't care for Tool.
I also like all of the Sugar Ray stuff.. maybe it comes from the fact that I know the guys pretty well, so I might be biased.. but come on.. you have to love a band that names their second big release 14:59 cause they think their 15:00 minutes of fame are about up.
So.. to go through my CD case (the one that's in my car.. I have over 1000cds at home).
Alice in Chains - Everything. Truly the only great band out of the Seattle grunge scene. RIP Layne.
Lenny Kravitz - Lenny (freaking awesome)
Deftones - White Pony, My Own Summer
Skrape - New Killer America
Buckethead - Colma (Brian Carrol aka Buckethead is the scariest guitar player ever. He's also the most bizarre)
Incubus - S.C.I.E.N.C.E (anything after this is very non-scottish)
Slipknot - Iowa
Pantera - Everything since Cowboys From Hell (yes they had stuff earlier than that)
Metallica - S&M (it was cool.. admit it.. do not deny)
Static X - Machine
Disturbed - The Sickness (these guys are just VERY cool to hang/drink beer with)
The Cult - Beyond Good and Evil
Ozzy - Everything he's put out.. ever..
Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime, Rage For Order, The Warning
Staind - Break the Cycle & Dysfunction, both great CD's.
Fates Warning - No Exit & Pleasant Shade of Gray
Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory (about the only new stuff I can stand)
Yngwie Malmsteen - Rising Force, Marching Out
Iron Maiden - Everything with Bruce Dickenson. Paul Dianno, and (especially) Blaze Bailey can rot in hell next to Country Music.
Judas Priest - Painkiller
Testament - Low, Souls of Black
Creed - My Own Prison, Human Clay, Weathered.
OK.. so I can deal with Creed's lyrics, and Scott Stap's annoying persona.. The music is pretty good, and Mark Tremonti has without a doubt the best guitar tone live I've EVER heard.
For all of these bands.. I MUCH prefer live recordings to the CD's.. because it gives you an idea of what they're about.. I used to LOVE Guns and Roses until I saw them live. Easily the WORST collection of drunk, strung out heroin addicts ever thrown onstage. So sloppy the songs are barely recognizable.
I'd put Linkin Park and Adema more with Korn and less with metal really.
Korn is really an anomaly.
I first saw these guys in 1993 at a club in San Diego called Dream Street down in Ocean Beach. There were 6 people in the bar.. INCLUDING the door guy and bartender. I was actually there to see another band that followed them. They had this strange "Children of the Korn" psycho-cultist look about them.
While everyone was praising the latest, soon-to-fade-away pile of shit out of Seattle, these guys were ABSOLUTELY doing their own thing. They sounded like nobody else, prompting me, and the other 3 paying customers there to look at each other with a "WTF is this shit?" expression. But it was catchy in a 'staring at a traffic accident' kind of way. Something about it FORCED me to come see them again. I bought one of their demo tapes (remember cassettes?) and literally wore it out. It was incredible.
Over the next few months, I actually wound up becoming pretty good friends with them, playing several shows around San Diego, originally with them opening for us, and then roles reversed once their CD hit the shelves in 1994.
So fast forward to now.. They've just released Untouchables.. are STILL doing their own thing and not following anyone else, but there are plenty of people now trying to be 'The Next Korn' or whatever.. I truly hate that about the music industry machine.. always trying to regurgitate a winner.
So.. short version.. Don't lump Korn into the 'Nu-Metal' nonsense.. they've been doing their own thing for almost 10 years now..
Geez.. how could I forget this one.. the absolute Greatest Band In The World..
TENACIOUS D
I don't like Tool either. :DQuote:
I guess I'm the only person left on the planet that just doesn't care for Tool.
You don't count.. cause you're a vile inkie.
I'm a vile inkie and I love Tool. I also like A Perfect Circle.
Some others I wished I had added to my "favorites" post:
Dead Kennedys
Black Flag
The Doors
Circle Jerks
U2
The Police
Cream
Free
Janis Joplin (her backup band was amazing)
Aretha Franklin (the Queen of Soul)
Ella Fitzgerald
Etta James
John Coltrane
John Lee Hooker
Thelonius Monk
Sonny Rollins
Miles Davis
Edi Brickel
David Bowie
Yoyo Ma
The London and NY Philharmonic Orchestras
The Blues Brothers
Jimi Hendrix
Stevie Ray Vaughn & Double Trouble
/sigh this was going to be a "short" list... There are just too many talented musicians out there.
the lead singer of adema is jonathan davis's brother or something like that
Early P.O.D. was unbelievable. They seem to have changed their style a bit to fit in with popular secular music a bit. But i enjoy their music much more than some of you, because i've met them, and they are really nice guys, that look like they could beat the crap out of any other band. so maybe i'm biased.
i hear tarissa's band sounds like a mix between chis isaac and henry rollins? :D
Preach on, Brother...Quote:

yes both a perfect circle and tool have maynord as the lead singer...thats kind of what I was trying to imply, its as if he wants mix tool with a perfect circle....*shrug* theres nothing wrong with that if he wants to do it, I personally just dont care for the cd that much. Its brilliantly composed and deserves credit, just not what I wanted from Tool I guess :-)
Summer of 2000 I saw System of a Down, Powerman 5000, Korn, Kid Rock and Metallica at Texas Stadium in Dallas during the Summer Sanitorium tour. All the bands were great, but nobody could top Metallica. It was a show I'll never forget and was freaking awesome to boot. If you've never been to a Metallica concert, then your missing out on a show to see.
I saw that same show in LA.. I went in HATING Kid Rock.. and left a fan. The guy puts on one hell of a show and he's VERY talented musically even if some of his stuff doesn't show it.
trust in maynard!
Never seen Kid Rock live, but have seen him a few times on TV, and generally it has seemed like he puts on a halfway decent show.
I still can't stand him though, just such a sleezy looking little freak, and having the even more freakish Pam Anderson on his arm just makes him look even more ridiculous.
i saw mauro picotto at leeds love parade 2000!.. Quality geezer. Btw what the fook is up with all the goths and metal junkys? :D
Move too Europe get some trance and house into your life and stop shooting people :p

oh its not that bad! ^ ^

Kid rock was my first concert i went to go see.. It was tight. he got the place all super hype and then ended with "Only god knows WHy" song everyone had their lighters up singing the song. ( I think thats the name of the song ) I like kid rock, kid he owns ..
but....
Classical music > all
Mozart is "Teh Win"
On the contrary Khael...damn good stuff in your list =oQuote:
Don't think too many share my view on music though
Add Nevermore, Theater of Tragedy, Pain of Salvation and Superior to that for me :cool:
umm rika do you mean UGK - Underground Kings (hardcore rap)Quote:
UGK
I am a music person I mostly listen to Classical music, Rap, Techno, Happy hardcore techno, oldies, rock, metal, alternative. I listen to just about everything. Hell I drive around and listen to musicals some time :b My Mp3 list looks crazy. Lot of Classical, Rap, and techno lol.
Don't think too many share my view on music though :)
UGK sings "Sippin on some syrup" with 3-6 mafia right? kinda southern rappy
I can't really stand anything on the radio anymore. The stations get their hands on a good song every now and then, but then they fucking hang it out to dry by playing it so much. They've done that with basically every hit Creed, Nickelback, Linkin Park, Kid Rock, and so forth has ever had. That's almost the same kind of thing MTV has done with rap and pop. At any given time of the day I can turn it to MTV and there will either be a commercial or some rap/pop related something on. They never play music worth listening to anymore. :mad: I wouldn't mind hearing music from albums of artists like these on the radio or tv:
- Third Eye Blind - Self-titled
Foo Fighters - The Colour and the Shape
Silverchair - Frogstomp, Freak Show
Box Car Racer - Self-titled
Live - Throwing Copper
A Perfect Circle - Mer de Noms
Incubus - S.C.I.E.N.C.E., Make Yourself
blink-182 - Enema of the State, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket
Alien Ant Farm - ANThology
Also, I've been liking what I hear from the new TRUSTco. cd, but I'm sure that one will be torn to threads as well.
Dont forget the best band ever!
Morris Day and the Time!
"Don't you never say an unkind word about the Time. Me and Silent Bob modeled our whole fucking lives around Morris Day and Jerome. I'm a smooth pimp who loves the pussy! And Tubby here is my black man servant! What!"

fuck rock~
you notice alot of people here dont post that they like rap, wanna know why shiik? Its because most understand that rap 98% of it is pure and utter trash and 100% commercialized all to hell for wannabe's such as youreself. Honestly ask youreself this, how many people above the age of 30 do you know that really listens to rap? I put rap and britney spears crap all in the same category, media spoonfed music that they tell you youre supposed to like.
Facts of Life Shiik--youre white, you will never be black (no matter how many black people you see on tv) youre not a OG, youre a stupid under 18 immature child, so take rap and shove it up youre ass along with the rest of youre gdamn opinions and post them on youre own damn site.

At least shik participated in the thread. He didnt hijack it or flame someone. I agree most rap sucks, but his techo/trance/dance/rave choices are pretty good, and he gave his input just like everybody else did. Other good bands/songs...
Buckcherry - Lit up
Stone Temple Pilots - Trippin over a hole in a paper heart
Foo Fighters - Monkey Wrench, This is a call
Old Beastie Boys stuff, new shit is terrible - Sureshot, Paul Revere
donno if anyone mentioned those
Shik doesn't even say anything offensive and gets flamed for participating sheesh so much hostility in you burnem frnd.
Punk rawk 4 lyfe ^_~
*smooch*!
:confused:
One thing I'll never do is belittle someone for their choice of music. Music is an artform (except country which is digitally recorded depression), and as such is open to interpretation by all.
Rap sucks? Fine.. rap sucks.. I don't like it either, but don't tell someone their an idiot because it happens to be what they like. If Shik likes Rap.. that's his choice (did I really just defend Shik? Yikes..)
Personally.. I think Picasso was a hack.. but there are people out there willing to pay MILLIONS for his work? Music isn't any different.
