View Full Version : [OT] Music
Hi guys,
Thought I'd start a thread that encouraged people to listen to some new music, and to express their views on what music they really really like. So post your favourite band's/artist's here, no matter how obscure, and it'll allow people to check them out, and broaden their music horizons. I'm guessing (rather hopefully here) that with Neocron's cyberpunk sci-fi setting that we won't get too many "omg 50cent rul3z", but post the band, any info you want to post about them, and your favourite song of theirs, and it'll enable others to check it out! And if your in a band then go ahead and let us know about them too.
So I'll start it off, with a band that I'm hoping lots of people will know of, but am guessing not many will have :-P
They are called the "Mad Capsule Markets". They are a Japanese band, and over there have been around for over a decade now, with 13 albums I think at last count. Over here, they have had two releases, these being OSC-DIS, and 010. More recently in Japan (available on import) they have released 02010, a live album, and their most recent CD, Cistm K0nfliq1. Among my favourite songs is Midi-Surf, on OSC-DIS. They can't really be pigeonholed into a genre, but instead mix metal with various samples and beats, adding loops and synths to the traditional rock band format, and come out with some awesome results (most of them fairly heavy). They may not be to everyone's taste, but I recommend everyone at least try them.
Anyone else wanna champion some bands on here?

I listen to so many different bands that it will atake ages to list them so for now i am just going to mention two i am listening to at the moment.
Adequate 7 (http://www.adequate7.co.uk/) good band thats a bit different, and great to watch live.
Fatally Yours (http://www.fatallyyours.com) A local band that i have followed for years who i think are great. You can grab two of their songs Here (http://www.fatallyyours.com/mp3/Fatally%20Yours%20-%20A_%20Means%20Nothing%20Little%20Girl.mp3) and here (http://www.fatallyyours.com/mp3/Fatally%20Yours%20-%20Planning%20Your%20Funeral.mp3)

I remember seeing the Mad Capsule Markets at Ozzfest a few years ago, that was mad, crazy band with bad broken english. They were let down pretty badly by the exceptionally bad sound system, which only seemed to get sorted out when Tool came on ... wow that was good.

Recently i've been listening to loads of stuff as per usual, today i've been listening to:
The Future Sound of London - Papua New Guinea Translations
The Future Sound of London - ISDN
Simon and Garfunkel - The Simon and Garfunkel Collection
Crash Test Dummies - God Shuffled His Feet
The Mars Volta - Deloused in the Comatorium
and some other stuff i think i've forgotten.
I just tend to listen to music i find interesting, i listen to lots of Progressive Rock, great stuff, loads of interesting sounds, melodies, tracks. PM me or post here if you want any reccomendations ;)
Mindless Self Indulgence, Lords Of Acid, System Of A Down o.0
Heh, just listened to some Fatally Yours and Adequate 7, not bad at all, well worth checking out, thanks for the recommendation!
Yeah the Mad Capsule Markets don't speak great English, but the sound setup when i saw them at the Mean Fiddler in London last year was fine and they really rocked the show, really was the best gig I've ever been to, superb band, whether on CD or live.
Sure, if you have any more recommendations on bands people may not have heard of then go ahead and post it!
Heh I have that Mars Volta album by the way, and although its quite good, I couldn't help but be disappointed by it, At The Drive-In were sooo good, I guess my expectations were too high... :-(
Ah yeah, System of a Down rule :-)
New album this year too, can't wait.
New album this year too, can't wait.
Realy? so soon after "Steal This Album"?
Yeah, well its been three years since "Toxicity", and "Steal This Album" was just a bunch of songs that didn't quite make it onto "Toxicity" re-recorded and re-mastered. Serj Tankian said in an interview earlier in the year that the band are in the studio at the minute and that they expect the album out by the end of this year, think they are aiming at October/November time :-)

Tool is always at the top of my list.
Two of my favorite but rarely heard of bands:
ATP, a japanese pop/rock/hard-to-place band with some GREAT SONGS check out the industrial-esque "Raining in Kyoto"
And Guano Apes, they seem more popular in Europe than here (only time i ever saw them in a music store was in Frankfurt) rock, some harder, some a bit punky, some with a bit of a gothic edge. Good tracks to check out are: "pretty in scarlet" (downtempo, pop styling, Great lyrics, good 'movie music') "Girl who kissed the dawn" (a touch of gothic lyrics, added to a pop-rock melody) and "We Use the Pain" (quirky, great syncopated beat, it's about voodoo)
Edit: Lords of Acid rock... it's great when you're DJing and some hot cyber-raver boi comes up to you and asks for 'hard sex' ;) :lol: :p
Mmmmh, japanese bands.
Electric Eel Shock
Seagull screaming kiss her kiss her
Thee michelle gun elephant
Guitar Wolf
Melt Banana
More stuff i listen to. Hard. Cause theres just too many bands. Zen Guerrilla. Murder City Devils. The bronx. Electrix six. TURBONEGRO. Bohren und der club of gore. Beatsteaks. GSY!BE. Lamb. Tight bros from way back when. Moloko. Sigur Ros. Masters of reality. Mando Diao. Hellacopters. Gluecifer. Puffball. KISS. AC/DC. MC5. Ramones.

/edit
OMFG, i forgot METALUCIFER (http://www.truemetal.org/metalucifer/)!!!
Godspeed You! Black Emporor are a small band from montreal, and are very unknown. Anybody who likes alternative music like Tool or The Mars Volta should check them out.

WORDS
the car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel
and the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
and a dark wind blows
the government is corrupt
and we're on so many drugs
with the radio on and the curtains drawn
we're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
and the machine is bleeding to death
the sun has fallen down
and the billboards are all leering
and the flags are all dead at the top of their poles
it went like this:
the buildings tumbled in on themselves
mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble
and pulled out their hair
the skyline was beautiful on fire
all twisted metal stretching upwards
everything washed in a thin orange haze
i said: "kiss me, you're beautiful -
these are truly the last days"
you grabbed my hand and we fell into it
like a daydream or a fever
we woke up one morning and fell a little further down -
for sure it's the valley of death
i open up my wallet
and it's full of blood

just recently found out about master of puppets... someone told me they had a new song but didnt exactly say it was new... so i kinda just guessed. Guess it isnt new but yar... still like it
I'm guessing (rather hopefully here) that with Neocron's cyberpunk sci-fi setting that we won't get too many "omg 50cent rul3z",
Pretty narrow-minded of you in my opinion. It's safe to say anyone who likes rap thinks the exact same way you think of them.
I enjoy rap, Tupac, Bone Thuggs, Snoop, some Wutang, some underground Eminem stuff, etc.
Rap isn't really about musical talent (unless you're the mixer/dj etc, but even then...), it's more about the writing and poetic part of it.
Threads like these usually turn into people thinking it's cool to post the most obscure band that no one has ever heard of, to be quite honest.
Anyway whatever floats your boat.
As an afterthought: the people who would say stuff like "omg that rul3z1111133333oneone," would be the people listening to heavy metal and drinking pepsi nonstop.

Well for the record... Im drinking water and I tried to post music that isnt crazy and can be accepted by anyone ^^
U wanna here something crazy download some planet X or jazz music lol.... thats not enjoyable and its just plain crazy.....
I dunno whats crazier Planet X or Buddy Rich doing a drum solo
Haha I'm not down with jazz but I'll deal some classical once in a while.

25-07-04, 13:55
haha, i picked up another great album today i'd forgotten about:
Iced Earth - Horror Show
check it out :)
and to whoever was talking about Jazz, yes, Jazz is amazing. :cool:
Recently i got an album by a band called Estradasphere, the album is called "It's Understood" and it's complete madness, like a combination of crazy Jazz, salsa, country(?) and heavy metal all rolled into one. Madness.
Hard to list what I like, everything with a nice beat and ppl who have a talent for music kindof. lots of varity in my music listening.
Aphex twin, Squarepusher, the older antiloop, the older prodigy, metallica, guns n roses dont listen that much to them anymore but they still have some good ones, Sepultura, meshuggah, pantera, ozzy, led zeppelin, hendrix, zappa, system of a down, dj shadow, roni size, marduk, decide, morbid angel, arch enemy, tool, alice in chains, some japanese anime music from time to time, dre, craig mack and the list goes on and on.
hehe its pretty messed up.
landofcake
25-07-04, 14:16
Aphex twin, Squarepusher.
Woo Hoo !!!
I got Hard Normal Daddy the other day, great album.
My favourite albums of all time:
Thursday - Full Collapse
Cave In - Jupiter (IMO the best rock album of the past 10 years)
Cave In - Until Your Heart Stops
Converge - Jane Doe
Fugazi - Repeater
Soundgarden - Superunknown
Thrice - The Illusion Of Safety
Glassjaw - Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence
From Autumn To Ashes - Too Bad You're Beautiful
Billy Talent - s/t
At The Drive-In - Relationship Of Command (as talented as Cedric and Omar are, nothing The Mars Volta do will ever come close to this)
Every Time I Die - Hot Damn!
Rival Schools - United By Fate
Quicksand - Manic Compression
Oh yeah, he's pretty messed up but some of the tunes is really cool.. same goes for aphex he's like an experimental jazz guy but with electro and techno and so on, but when he pulls him self together and make a tune without random sounds it most likely will be really good.
Oh and ppl who like jazzy things or sorta jazzy funky shit, Yoko kanno who makes alot of music to stylish anime's is cool as hell.

Metal / Rock
In Flames - Melodic metal
Dragonforce - Speed/power metal
Pink Floyd - Sorta progressive rock, nice
Static-X - More melodic metal
System of a down - Great lyrics
The Gone Jackals - Biker rock :)
Ambient
Max Corbacho - Neocron
Steve Roach - Neocron
Ian Boddy - Neocron
Aphex Twin - Nice ambient collections
Vangelis - Did the braderunner soundtrack
I also recommend this stream (http://www.somafm.com/dronezone.pls) (you'll need winamp) for very good ambient music.
Thanks to everyone for your recommendations, trying a few now :)

Shame my Cave In t-shirt doesn't fit me anymore :(
Coldplay
Travis
Hoobastank
Incubus

That's about it :)
Evanescence
Metallica - all albums except St. Anger. What a wasted opportunity, where's the fucking solos?!
Dark Tranquility
In Flames
Strapping Young Lad / Devin Townsend
Cannibal Corpse

Classical stuff, soundtracks, instrumentals etc.

Lol well thats pretty hypocritical, saying I'm narrowminded then saying that actually it'd be the metalheads saying stuff like "omg that rul3z". I'm a big fan of Tupac's music, and have nothing but respect for people like Public Enemy, NWA etc for what they did for the hip-hop culture over a decade ago. Dr Dre had great success after NWA, and "The Black Album" by Jay-Z was an awesome album, aswell as a clever commentary on how he had had enough of being famous. All of these I like. And with one of my favourite bands being Rage Against The Machine, the band that pioneered the rock/hip-hop crossover, how could I not like a lot of the hip hop artists from the last 15 years? After saying all that, I'm still not going to say I like 50 Cent. I agree that a lot of rap and hip-hop is down to the writing of the lyrics, but would you really say 50 Cent is poetry? It sounds like drivel to me. I didn't mean that hip-hop, rap, or ANY type of music isn't allowed here. And no, it isn't a search for the most obscure band, it's what people like and are listening to, in the hope that people will find new artists that they really like thanks to others.
As for some of the bands posted, some great suggestions guys, I've got a big long list of music to listen to now, so thanks!
Yeah Thursday I saw live a few weeks ago, and they were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Thrice I really like, but haven't caught live yet :-(
I've listened to Taking Back Sunday's new album, and its awesome, really worth checking out.
Also, check out a band named Reuben. They have been around for a few years but have only just released their debut album as it took them ages to find a record label. I have a feeling anyone outside of Europe will have a tough time getting hold of their music, but its worth trying as they really are full of energy.
Any more suggestions? No matter what genre it is, or however mainstream/obscure they are? :-P
last time I checked master of puppets wasn't new
Some Kind of Monster is the newest metallica song and it's indeserving of a :wtf:
How's that for shameless self promotion, the Some Kind Of Monster..movie...
Some kind of Sellout? Used to love those guys.....Hey wow..I'm old...That was a REALLY long time ago when Metallica was good...I'm looking at the release dates on some CASSETTES lol tight now....I used to have Metallica on a few vinyls, dunno what happened to those...
Black Metal:
Burzum
Limbonic Art
Absu
Opera IX
Emperor
Mayhem
Enslaved
Beherit
Death Metal:
Unleashed
Vital Remains/Deicide
Sinister
Banished/Baphomet
Suffocation
Hip Hop/Rap:
American or English Language: DMX, some Eminem, 50Cent, Obie Trice,Redman, Dre, Tupac, Wyclef
French Launguage: Taktika, Fonky Family, Sans Pression, 83, Sniper
Fuckin' incredible, the beats in Sniper..I don't understand everything they say yet, though, they spit out the words like mad...uber RoF :)
Other: Tool, Nirvana, a bit of Manson , mallcore: Linkin Park, System, etc...

Yeah your right, Metallica used to be cool. Bar "Invisible Kid", and "St Anger", I wasn't a big fan of the new songs. Give me "Nothing Else Matters" and "Sanitarium" anyday... speaking of which, Limp Bizkit did a cover of Sanitarium for an MTV Icon special thing which celebrated Metallica's career, and I really liked it, well worth listening to.

The first time I heard the St.Anger album:
Well, I went to the record shop one day, and saw St.Anger...I asked some questions (you see Metallica had pretty much sunk off my radar by now)..the guy told me that they were back, heavy again, commercial tendencies gone....
So what the hell? Bought it, all happy that Metallica were back, etc....
Fuck..Disappointment...At least St.Anger was cool, they suk ya in with that one, and then spit in your face with the rest. I liked Invisible Kind myself, also, but more because of some similarities between the lyrics and personal experiences than any supposed musical talent.
My Personal Opinion: Robert Trujillo sucks, he makes Metallica sound like any other crappy wanna-be metal band of today's generation than the true uber metal God's they used to be. Worst.Bassist.Ever. Cliff Burton or Jason Newsted pwn him.
Also, somebody should tell James Hetfield to stop tying to be a crooner, it's just not him.
Muse, Royksopp, Chili Peppers, Ocean Colour Scene, LTJ bukem, Aquasky, Massive Attack, Portishead and a nice bit of Rachmaninov =-P

LOL. Absolutely right. I think it's cos he has supposedly quit drinking now :-( At least before he was a little fired up. Like you say, except for St. Anger, it just wasn't there. They didn't seem to have the same energy and passion they used to. Ah well.
Listening to the new Hives album at the minute, pretty good stuff, lots of catchy tunes with some pretty cool riffs. Nothing groundbreaking, but good fun to listen to.
Really hard to list favourite artists really.
I listen to so much varied music. Rap, Jazz, Classic, DnB, Ambient, House, Rock, Pop etc.
I tend not to listen at too much mainstream though and I never watch MTV, since I like to feel individual by my choices.
Rap is something I listen to for the lyrics, so I often preffer smaller labels.
Otherwise, I make electronic mysic myself so that's kind of a given.
Rock/Pop etc... I like Garbage, U2, Led, Ozzie, Live, Smashing Pumpkins, Therapy, Pearl Jam to give you an example. Hives are good... Portishead... Hooverphonic.
I enjoy all music, as long as it is well performed and intelligently composed.
My Personal Opinion: Robert Trujillo sucks
How can he suck? He's a godamn basist ffs.
Give a newbie guitarist rope tied to a broomstick and you would instantly have an intermediate level bassist. Teach them the how to hit there hand against the wood real quick, and you would have a pro.
O_o
Lol nice. Well I think world class bassists DO make a difference, but your right, I think standard generic bassists aren't difficult to find either. I think whereas a lot of bands can get away with mediocre bass guitarists however, Metallica did have a couple of really good ones - so to end up with a run-of-the-mill bassist now has made their music degenerate slightly. My two cents on it anyway.

Metallica had one good bassist; Cliff Burton. Newsted sucked. Personally I prefere the big eskimo to Jason.
This ROX:
Dark Tranquility
Sentenced
Stratovarius
Rhapsody
Sonata Artica
Dark Age
Iced Earth

MIKE
Ah come on Newsted didn't suck. Plus if I remember rightly he did loadsa drugs and drink and stuff. How is that not cool? :-P
Well I wasn't too cut up bout Metallica selling out. They were good but they weren't that amazing really. Plus it was bound to happen at some point. There are plenty of amazing bands out there nowadays that probably will never have the staying power of Metallica, but so long as there is always great music for me to listen to I'm happy :-)

best bassist i've ever heard? chili peppers, saw em in cardiff, he was playing fucking guitar solos on his bass and making up tunes on the spot with the guitarist!!!!! cant see a nupie doing that with a broomstick...

Went to the holiday Bazaar last December in Maine and saw Chevelle, Sevendust and Staind. All put on an awesome show! Always been as Tool fan and liked what Maynard James did with A Perfect Circle. Deftones is always in my truck as though for newer bands I have started listening to in the last few years - The top of my list is - Breaking Bejamin, Crossfade, Cold, and there are so many others. And one band I have always bend extremely fond of and have all their CD's is Toad the Wet Sprocket!!!!! And let us not forget the greatest Grunge band of all time Alice in Chains, I am really going to miss hearing new tunes from Layne Staley - what a tragedy that he died!!! Later all........ :cool:
Hard hitting Industrial/EBN music. If you liked the music in the NC - BDoY trailer, check these guys out. Very instrumental music that plays freely with backbeats and has lots variation in each song - they never recycle samples.
Recommend:
- "Anti" ("Maniacal", Single-CD)
- "Replicant" ("Plasticity", Single-CD)
- "Prophecy" ("Implode", CD)
- "Everything must perish" and "Backlash" ("Epitaph", Limited Edition CD)
- "Oblivion" (Instrumental, "Re-Wind" CD)
- "Plastma springs" ("Milennium", CD)

I said you were narrow-minded for hoping that people didn't suggest a certain type of music, when infact, they probably wouldn't like the music you listen to either.
Metalheads ARE the people who say stupid "leet speak" and shit.
Anyway, I don't like 50 cent either. I was just pointing that out.

Ok I saw someone mentioned Rap has poetry in it... ok I found some random 50 cent song. Here is the link to the lyrics... http://www.eminem-planet.com/50cent/lyrics/getrichordietryin/02.html
plz point out the poetry to me because that looks like nothing more then a psycho path killer that needs help...
O yay and he says "But I'll hunt or duck a nigga down like it's sport" in there.... wtf man, I didnt do anyting to him.
I did not realize that was frontline assembly.
it wasn't. Never said it was. It DO sound alot like their music.

lol, so...define a metalhead? because i listen to metal sometimes, does that make me one? only time i 5p34k 1337 is when im being ironic, as you can see from my prior example!!!

Metalheads being the people who search google for "underground metal" and hope they get some band NO ONE has ever heard of. Even though said band sounds like complete shit they listen to it and insist they love it just because no one has heard of it. The same people who get drunk just to play a computer game.
Yeah it's stereotypical, but it's true tbh.
My all time favourite band is Funeral for a friend, other bands i like are Hoobastank, Muse, Lostprophets and Incubus.
They are teh win :p
massive attack? goin to see them in 8 days =-D mwhuwhahahahahhehehehehohohohihihihaiahahoaho er...pants...

AFI...Do you like the newer AFI or the older AFI better. When I saw their new album the name looked real familiar and I had only heard their name in the past...What ever happened to Helmet...they had a few good tunes...What are everyone's thoughts of Velvet Revolver - since Scott Whielen got kicked from STP...STP - another good band Liked the early 90's. STP, Soul Asylum, Candlebox...

Even though said band sounds like complete shit they listen to it and insist they love it just because no one has heard of it. The same people who get drunk just to play a computer game.
and you know they insist they love it just because no one has heard of it how exactly? and even though it may sound shit to you, how do you know they dont think it sounds good, there is such a thing as different tastes you know :rolleyes: anyway, im sure its not just "metalheads" do that, im sure there are "hiphopheads" who look on google for obscure hip hop and "technoheads" who look for obscure techno...
just because something is obscure and noone has heard of it YET, doesnt mean it isnt good, a couple of my favourite bands happen to be "obscure" oh well, i guess i must be a "dark scary trip-hop head" or maybe an "ambient acid electronica head" *shrugs* oh god im traumatised, think ill go slit my wrists :lol:
Ok I saw someone mentioned Rap has poetry in it... ok I found some random 50 cent song. Here is the link to the lyrics... http://www.eminem-planet.com/50cent/lyrics/getrichordietryin/02.html
plz point out the poetry to me because that looks like nothing more then a psycho path killer that needs help...
O yay and he says "But I'll hunt or duck a nigga down like it's sport" in there.... wtf man, I didnt do anyting to him.
Lol I agree entirely with TheDuckMan. That was my point Ramzi - that to me 50 Cent doesn't help rap or hip-hop at all, and there is certainly no "poetry" in there. Didn't mean I hoped no-one would suggest any rap or hip-hop acts here, in fact I hope they do. And as for the whole metalhead thing, I think you'd have a hard time defining most people by their musical tastes, as many people seem to like lots of varied artists. And to say they use "leet speak" more is just complete bollocks.
Meanwhile, I noticed someone mentioned Funeral For A Friend - excellent English band, really good. I'd love to see them live tho, I get the feeling they are just a great live band. In a similar sort of vein is the band "Hell Is For Heroes", released their album last year, very talented group. Also, check out "My Chemical Romance", a superb American emo band, their album "Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge" is one of my top albums for this year.
When did I ever stick up for 50 cent or say he was good?
You guys are just running out of shit to say so you resort to that?
Btw for it to be poetry you don't need to write like, "Hail, how art thou, fair maiden?"

i prefer the older afi when they had the tiger army member.
but afi has evolved alot since answer that and stay fasionable, ive followed then since the begining and watched them evolve, jade is a fantastic guitarist, and davey havok never fails to impress me with his lyrics and delivering a powerfull song.
velvet are pretty cool im into them.
imo hip hop sucks, its all the same, either about how hes always pulling bitches, rolling on 20s, smokin weed, killing rival idiots, how much money hes making, a diss back at some idiot that didnt like his hair, sorry but my personal opinion is that hip hop sucks, ill listen to real music which isnt created on a casio keyboard.

As for live bands? Mad Capsule Markets were awesome, but I saw Killswitch Engage live in London a few weeks ago and that was fucking great, just cos the crowd was pumped and it really rocked.

Just heard killswitch in the past few months, but never heard of the other. You overseas??? UK??? or something?
Heh yeah UK, spot on mate. Killswitch are definitely worth listening to, although perhaps a little abrasive for some. If you get chance then check out Mad Capsule Markets, as they kinda fuse rock with different beats and samples, and some incredible passion for their music - really awesome, whether live or on CD. Whereabouts you from, USA I'm guessing?
@Ramzi: I know poetry doesn't have to rhyme or be written in olde english, but I stand by the fact that 50 Cent is not poetry (it's just shit) and that at least Tupac and Public Enemy could pen lyrics that were in some way meaningful.
Ahhh Everybody's Fool video is downloadable from www.evanescence.com !

Yup, in the states, Maine. I can't believe that I didn't mention how much I like the group Seether. I lived in Spain for three years and it seems some things make it there first depending on the band, I guess. Like that damn Macarena! It started before I left Spain and then months later it haunted me when I returned to the states. I couldn't get away from it!!!

Toad the Wet Sprocket
It is lighter, I guess it would be folk/pop/light rock...
I own all of their CD's and I can honestly say they are one of the few bands I can listen to their CD's front to back in their entirety. Seldom a disappointment for listening pleasure. Started listening to them back in 1993.
I've heard of it but never actually heard them.
Might check it out sometime, been saying that about a lot of bands though and I never get around to it :p
Heh that's the point of this thread, to check out new bands that people suggest :-P
Well I heard the Seether song that features Amy Lee the other day; have to say I wasn't amazed, just getting a whole Staind/Saliva style vibe, but I'd check em out if I thought some of their other stuff was a bit more varied. Reading that MTV article I eventually ended up reading about Wes Borland's (Limp Bizkit) new project "Eat the Day", that has apparently been shelved. After the Bizkit, his solo project was a pile of trash that tried to mix comedy with, well, not much at all. Didn't showcase his awesome ability on the guitar at all. So I'm hoping his "Eat the Day" project is revived, and that he will be able to show how talented he really is. Any music with really talented or original guitar work gets my vote :-)
Ahh I'm not a big fan of Seether tbh, although I haven't heard the one with Amy in it. What's it called? Might download it.
And yeah yeah I know, I'm just lazy :p

Don't let the Seether/Amy Lee song discourage you...The Seether CD is good, the newest one with Suffocate, Gasoline, and there are other good tunes...The name of the CD is Diclaimer, there are a couple of versions of it though. Also Cold-The Year of the Spider is a good CD!!
Ah see you've got me now. No idea :-(
Witchdoctor, you know which Seether song features Amy Lee?

Broken from the Spiderman soundtrack I think, isn't it...or from some soundtrack?!?!?!?! I will have to look it up now Damn you!! LOL
Not from a movie, just a collaboration! You need to hear the other Seether tunes though. They are much better...Try Gasoline or Suffocate!!
Metallica had one good bassist; Cliff Burton. Newsted sucked. Personally I prefere the big eskimo to Jason.
Some of Newsted's work with Flotsam+Jetsam wasn't too bad...

K am gonna grab some Seether stuff and see if I like it, also I'll try that Cold album you suggested. While searching that Seether stuff I found a QOTSA track (both them and Seether were on "The Punisher" OST) that was a b-side (and a cover) not released on their albums, called "Never Say Never". QOTSA are an awesome band, I highly suggest everyone take a listen, even if their next offering will be slightly different due to the huge line-up change :-(

Yeah it's stereotypical, but it's true tbh.
Dude..Ramzi man..chill out..I don't agree with the shit you say in-game, and well, on the forums...hmmm..lol :)
I don't speak in 133t speak, that's for idiots and wanna-be hackers...
Yeah, there are some shit metal bands out there, but most of it is actually very complex, with a lot of roots in classical music.
I've been a ``metalhead``, as you put it, pretty much all my life. I've never searched google for underground metal and pretended I like it, and I definetly don't get hammered to play NC...I smoke pot, i make less stupid mistakes/bad decisions that way.
Not all metalheads are beer-swilling rednecks who drive pickups with their mullets blowing in the breeze.
Most black-metal listeners, the true ones, are usually extremely intelligent people, with varied musical backgrounds and interests.
I do however, understand you. I've learned to like some hip-hop due to environmental influences, friends, etc...
However, you will rarely meet a hardcore hiphop listener who can tolerate metal/extreme music, the two styles don't really allow that, whereas the metal listener can usually appreciate the aggression levels inherent in most of today's hiphop/rap.

Here's some poetry courtesy of Maxi Jazz:
All the subtle flavours of my life have become,
Bitter seeds and poison leaves,
Without you,
You represent whats true,
I drain the colour from the sky and turn blue without you,
These arms without purpose,
Flapping like a humming bird, I'm nervous,
You're the left eye, I'm the right,
Would it not be madness to fight,
We come one
Killswitch Engage is awesome, i especially like "my last serenade"
Wes Borland is teh win too, awesome guitarist.
R.E.M.
Great band, great lyrics and some awesome guitar playing, great bass. Even though their drummer quit when he nearly died they get session musicians in and its still great :D
Classics like: Losing my Religion (Also redone by a 3rd party as Losing my Partition)

Yeah My Last Serenade is a superb track, have you heard the latest album yet? It really is very energetic and very melodic, while still retaining the KsE heaviness. And yeah, Wes Borland is great, he will never be fully replaced at Limp Bizkit.
I have the CD called Alive or just breathing, dunno if its the new one.
No I think thats the second one. The new one is their third CD, called "The End Of Heartache".

Mm... Nice.. Like "White Tornado" (old, instrumental) and "Monthy Got a Raw Deal", "King of birds", "Orange crush", "Crush with eyeliner" (nah, just like them Asian girls in the video :D ), "What's the frequency kenneth", "Perfect circle", "Bittersweet me", "Wake up bomb"...ahh.. so many records..

Well your right, smoking anything is going to be harmful to your health... I guess it just comes down to personal preference as to whether it's a bad decision or not...
I saw "Seether", "Cold", and "From Autumn to Ashes" all recommended on here past couple of days: I have checked out all three bands and can pass on this recommendation as their respective albums have all highly impressed me, and I am currently enjoying listening to them all, aswell as the new "Taking Back Sunday" album :-)
true... dont see how smoking anything would be a good decsision but thats an opinion again... I just found that alittle ironic ^^
better than screwing up your liver =-P
hummm music you say. lets see whats in the old playlist atm;
Biffy Clyro, The best band around atm, go out tomorrow and buy there music
Million Dead, another exelent band with a twist :) (and with one hot female bassist i must say)
Hell is for Heroes, blindingly good with a new album out towards the end of the year ive been told
Hundred Reasons, another good band (not quite as good as hell is for heroes tho ;) )
No Comply, ska-punk as its best(and yet another band with a fine looking singer) with a new album out last month (shameless plug) :D
The Mars Volta, Prog/Post rock cant quite tell :p exelent none the less
Alkaline Trio, great band from across the pond
Sikth, what can i say these guys are insane
Funeral For A Friend, Between Order And Model what an EP, went downhill with Casually Dressed and Deep in Conversation tho, just listen to juno(from BOAM) and Juneau, one way to wreck a song.
Muse, What more can i say then they are gods
other bands that deserve a listing;
InMe, Less than Jake, Idlewild, NOFX, yourcodenameis:milo, Reuben (i so have to get hold of a copy of racecar is racecar backwards), The once over twice, thisGIRL, orca, Drive like you stole it, Hondo maclean, traptwo .... (holy crap this list just goes on and on) ... and all the other bands based in and around cornwall and devon
Oh and last but not least, i know its not quite music but the other thing to frequent my playlist is The mighty, The great and sadly missed Bill Hicks. just to remind not to take life as seriously
Heh excellent list Omega. I'd agree with loads of those bands. Million Dead I saw supporting Thursday a few months ago, and they were very good. I hadn't heard anything from them before, but had to go and get their album after seeing them. And the bassist is hot, your right :-)
Good news about a new "Hell is for Heroes" album, their first album was excellent. Hundred Reasons are awesome, the new album is really good but the first one is still the best. Funeral For A Friend is good, although I will be checking out their earlier stuff now if you say that "Casually Dressed..." is worse, because considering that album is still pretty amazing, then their old stuff must be fantastic!
And you do have to get hold of a copy of "Racecar Is Racecar Backwards"! Amazing album! Reuben really are one of the best British bands around at the minute.
Ah yeah, and Alkaline Trio - awesome band! Damn theres so many great bands out there...

Kataklysm-Sorcery, also The Mystical Gates of Reincarnation
Exhumed-Deep Red
Lol jailbait, fair enough.
I'll check out those bands you mentioned, not massive on my speed/death metal but I've heard some stuff and its pretty good, plus a few of my favourites bands have had a few songs venturing into the speed/thrash metal categories, so I'd be interested in hearing the bands you listed.
At the minute I'm listening to "Racecar is Racecar Backwards" by British band Reuben, really really good album, with songs varying from rock n roll, to metal, to verging on emo. Excellent stuff.
Oh and Witchdoctor, just saw your post - stick with the Taking Back Sunday stuff, it can take a few listens to get into, but its well worth perservering with. Glad your liking what you've heard so far tho.

Yeah the new Taking Back Sunday album is really good, the songs "Set Phasers To Stun" and "Number Five With A Bullet" in particular are superb.
Hey guys check out Boomshanker (http://www.boomshanker.net) I'd be really interested to hear opinions, good and bad please :)
Funeral For a Friend are much better live than they are on record, I've seen them 3 times now and I'm going to see them again at Reading in a month (along with Thrice, Thursday, Dillinger Escape Plan, Taking Back Sunday, Hundred Reasons, Yourcodenameis:milo and Coheed & Cambria among others)

Are all those bands at Reading, or are you seeing them all in varying places? Cos if they are all at Reading then that is an awesome lineup, Thrice are amazing as are Thursday, and Yourcodenameis:milo are really good too.
Oh and JJ I just had a quick look at the Boomshanker site, gave a few of the songs a listen, not generally the kind of music I listen to, but pretty good stuff :-) Where'd you come across this band?

I had a feeling it was your band when you posted the link :-P The only thing I would say is the artwork on the site is pretty cool, but the site itself could do with perhaps a little more work to make it look even better than it is... Other than that, very nice!

i cant believe nobody here listed INTERPOL (http://www.interpolny.com/)
watch a video or 2 from the site, u wont be disappointed.
also if u are a moderate hip-hop listener,
but cant stand the "bling" and weak flow of lyrics in radio hip-hop,
give a listen to del the funky homosapien (http://www.hieroglyphics.com/sounds/del/)
scroll down to the track "masterminds" and "oakland blackouts" 2nd artist.
oh ya he was the rapper in that gorillaz song from a few back

Heh nice. Well I can't go to Reading this year anyway :-( But I read an interview with them a while back and they said that they will be playing London very soon, I'm guessing it'll either be the Astoria or Brixton Academy. And I wouldn't miss a gig like that :-)
Evanescence ripped of Lacuna Coil, and they did a bad job of it too.
Unleashed Memories > Everything Evanescence
Cristina is hotter than Amy Lee anyway. <3
