emajnthis Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 i listen to everything, that's not to say that i like everything, but there are artists from every genre that i like. I mostly listen to 70's and 90's (skip 80's except 80's stuff that made its way into the 90's) and lately lots of death metal and metal core. Daysend's latest is in the player right now, Ruskii and other Aussie's should be familiar with them, Australia has a lot of great metal bands.
Skullsixx Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Is there any link to hear what these guys sound like? (Nightwish)
bandit29 Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Try Nightwish's myspace page. Pretty good band. Cool pics A7.. I missed them when they were here last weekend. Children of Bodom is in a few weeks and Down in November thankfully.
areaseven Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Is there any link to hear what these guys sound like? (Nightwish) Here are some sample videos from their latest album Dark Passion Play: The current lineup with vocalist Anette Olzon is somewhat of a musical cross between ABBA and Metallica. The old lineup with then-vocalist Tarja Turunen mixed classical opera with goth metal (and some Rammstein on the side). Here are some clips of the old lineup: Nemo Wish I Had an Angel Creek Mary's Blood (featuring Native American musician John Two-Hawks) They do covers too: (Gary Moore cover) (Pink Floyd cover) (Megadeth cover)

Thanks. I got to meet the band after the show, and they're really cool in person. Unfortunately, I didn't get to meet Anette. She reportedly had a cold that night.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 (edited) Ive rently got back into Metallicker. They are a class act. One i'm spending most time with is the Garage Days double, mostly 1st disc. Tuesdays Gone! Whiskey in a Jar is mighty fine. Edited September 14, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
Dervish Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Aside from Macross soundtracks? Bruddah Iz!
Metal_Massacre_79 Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Look who I bumped into last month. I don't know how these guys slipped under my metal radar, but I heard them on the radio a few days ago and was completely blown away! I immediately went out and got Inhuman Rampage and have been listening to it non-stop. I'm planning on getting the newest one as soon as I get paid this week.
areaseven Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 My friends were recently featured in a military news clip, as they visited Iraq during the 4th of July week. The Iron Maidens Rock Camp Liberty
Mr. Troska! Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I've got a wide range of tastes myself, though lately I've been preferential to Joy Division and Bessie Smith among others; I often find that the latter half of Transeurope Express by Kraftwerk meshes perfectly with the long shots featuring the Super Ostrich skipping along Saturn's rings in DYRL. Oh and by the way, my name is Mr. Troska and I'm new to the forum, I couldn't find an introduction thread so I thought I'd just jump in and see whats up.

After awhile the constant shredding and same BPM for every song can get tiring. Check out Firewind They actually play with a bit more taste/more variety, better vocals. etc I'm shocked right now..I actually like Metallica's new CD, Death Magnetic. I haven't liked anything by them in almost 15 years lol.
danth Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Lately I've been on a glam rock/glam metal kick and have been listening to a lot of Van Halen and Journey. Also various other bands like Ratt, Whitesnake, and Warrant, but I only really like the popular songs. I'm not really a die hard. I've always really liked Def Leppard and Poison, only lately have I expanded to the other artists. Growing up I loved euro-synth pop like Erasure, A-ha, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, New Order, OMD, and similar groups. I'm surprised how many people say they like Joy Division but don't mention New Order.
Vic Mancini Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 (edited) For the lovers of metal and technical/fast/aggressive music, the best two albums I've heard in a long time: Kezia and Fortress by Protest the Hero Edited September 15, 2008 by Vic Mancini
areaseven Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Check out Firewind They actually play with a bit more taste/more variety, better vocals. etc Yeah, Firewind rocks. They did a killer cover of the Michael Sembello song "Maniac."
areaseven Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 The classic AC/DC sound is back. AC/DC - "Rock 'N Roll Train
areaseven Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Don't know if there are any fans here, but Trivium will be performing a free concert at the Whisky A Go-Go in L.A. on Sept. 22, as part of the MySpace Secret Shows.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 Just bought Metallicas new album today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but waiting till monday aussie to listen to it. Heard the new single just today NICE. Please tell me there are old skool metallica fans HERE. OR ESLE.
VFTF1 Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 I can't remember if I already gave my answer or not... but here we go... I listen to: PRIMARY LOVES: Fire Bomber Lyn Minmey Spinal Tap SECONDARY LOVES: Poison Europe Alice Cooper Bon Jovi Other: House music...because I live in Europe...and wherever you go...it's always house music...although some variation of Jazz also pops up frequently. Of course - it's not as good as Spinal Tap Mach II: The Rebirth Jazz Improv. Pete
Metal_Massacre_79 Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 Please tell me there are old skool metallica fans HERE. I am a fan of everything before Burton died. Jason Nutsweat can't play a bass to save his life. Burton was a major influence for me to start playing bass. Speaking of which, I've got a nice red Yamaha 5-string that isn't getting a lot of attention lately. I need to pick it up and play more often.

I need to pick it up and play more often. Ya old Metallica is still the best. Although Death Magnetic is pretty good. A step in the right direction....finally I always found it odd that people were influenced by Burton or Newsted. Most Metallica songs, the bass is so low in the mix you can barely hear it. Same goes for new CD. And Robert Trujillo is freaking awesome. He was fantastic with Ozzy and Suicidal Tendencies.
akt_m Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 I listen to The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Franz Ferdinand, The Strokes. Sometimes The Doors too... Guns N Roses... that's all i can remember.
Metal_Massacre_79 Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 Suicidal Tendencies. Now there's a band I've not listened to in a while. My best of CD "Prime Cuts" got so scratched that it wouldn't play anymore, and I haven't been able to find it around here.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 love the new album by Metallica, ".. ohh how can i be lost if i have no where to go0o......."
bandit29 Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 I like classic rock but...these old guys look ridiculous when on stage..Jimmy Page is beyond sloppy...

bandit29 Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 (edited) Learn to read...they were great back in their day... but at their age now they look foolish on stage. And Jimmy Page has always been sloppy live...good but sloppy Edited September 27, 2008 by dejr8bud
Metal_Massacre_79 Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Led Zeppelin to Reunite This is bad. This is VERY bad. I may have to sell of my wife and son to see this show.
bandit29 Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 No Led Zeppelin reunion A statement posted on his web site says: "Contrary to a spate of recent reports, Robert Plant will not be touring or recording with LED ZEPPELIN. Anyone buying tickets online to any such event will be buying bogus tickets." http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermo...wsitemID=105779

Major Focker Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Oh and I love world music. Everything from traditional Indian Classical music, to all types of African music (including Alla Faka Ture -spelling?), and latin stuff from Flamingo to Cuban and Andean. I absolutely love the Asian underground; Talvin Singh, Karsh Kale, State of Bengal, DJ Cheb I Sabha, etc... Nusrat fateh Ali Khan is probably the most amazing male vocalist ever to live. I had the great fortune to see him live before he passed and was probably the #1 concert of my life (Tied with Bjork). Asha Bholse is incredible. I am not too keen on the Bollywood stuff but her album with Ali Akbar Khan, "Legacy" is absolutely gorgeous and her cameo in "One Giant Leap" is awesome! Also, I dig on the Gyuto Monks of Tibet, with that low sub bass throat chanting. And I love the higher pitched overtone harmonics of the Tuvan stlye throat chanting. Yeah, so world music of course too. thought you might be the best person to ask for recommendations. i'm looking for more stuff similar to the Homeworld2 soundtrack. in case you're not familiar with the PC game, here's a sound cue: thanks
Totoro242 Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 (edited) thought you might be the best person to ask for recommendations. i'm looking for more stuff similar to the Homeworld2 soundtrack. in case you're not familiar with the PC game, here's a sound cue: thanks I wouldn't call this World Music exactly. It is Persian maybe, but with synths and a beat. Try Delerium (pre-1994), Synesthasia, or Noise Unit. They have some similar songs, though there music generally does not have the Middle Eastern sound. *Edit: Also reminds me of Peter Gabriels Passion album a bit. If you havent heard it, go buy it- its brilliant. Edited September 30, 2008 by Totoro242
areaseven Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 Here's an example of how NOT to cover heavy metal. Van Canto
