View Full Version : my new love [completely off topic!!!]
bwahahaha, hope i get ur interest...
This thread is about MUSIC ONLY so now please all non-musician leave...
My new love is System of a Down. I feel immediately after hearing 'toxicity' and now i'm listening to it all the time and my wife can't stand it and want to move out untill i got bored with it haha...
Wierd thing is that i've never liked those modern US hybrid style music (can't stand Tool and its various clones, for example); i find it usually too simple or too limited as for my taste (i usually listen to some art/progresive rock/metal styles - Tiamat, Katatonia, Anathema, Moonspell, Marillion, Pink Floyd, Peter Hammil, Nick Cave and the like...), but this band has something pretty vital plus it has surprisingly eloquent musical technique.
Well, now is my question to all US musicians out there, can u recommend me something else?
The only US artists I know and except SOAD are Type'O'Negative and Korn (both are quite original and i have great respect for their art), but i'm sure it's only the top of the iceberg, so please
i'm waiting for your advice
OF course in exchange i can recommend hundreds of european rock/metal/alternative artists that are worth to know. But first gimme ur input please
pretty please
az
Vex Red.
Mudvayne.
Songs to D/L
Vex Red - The Closest

Some US Bands to recommend but may not be to your taste (just too many to list so just listing ones not mentioned yet :p):
A Perfect Circle - The 13th Step is a great album, don't even compare them to Tool even though they share singers
Fantomas - Mike Patten is the king of art metal \o/
Slayer - Old school metal that still kicks you in the balls
Alice In Chains - The album Dirt is full of dark lyrics
Avenged Sevenfold - great hybrid of old school metal (eg. Iron Maiden) and modern hardcore.
White Zombie - b-grade horror movie inspired metal
AFI - Goth punk rockers from California
Probot - Dave Grohl's metal side project with underground metal guest singers
Monster Magnet - Ballsy psychadelic rock
Queens of the Stone Age - Stoner pop
Kyuss - the kings of US stoner rock
Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile is one of the best albums out there.
The Tea Party - Canadian band who use exotic instruments from around the world
That's it, I'll stop for now ...... there's more but it really depends on what you like ;)

Mudvayne are hilariously bad, 'Dig' made my ears bleed.
Katatonia however, are sublime. As are their side project October Tide.

(Covenant are cyber though - not metal) you should die in a shallow grave for mentioning linkin park in with those, hoobastank fine but linkin park *SMACK WITH RAZOR BLADES IN FIST*
never mention a linkin park near manson, rob( or even white ) zombie, or rammstein
maybe u could mention it when talking about suck ass boy bands or somethin around there but NEVER like you just did >;|
er.. what he said.. or atleast in a way you can understand o_O

Digs crap. Don't judge Mudvayne on that one song. I dunno why they did it, it's like the worst song on the CD.
And Mudvayne _are_ good. I'm a decent songwriter and I could rant on about there songwriting skills and talent for ages.

Yeah its like including the words "Limp biscuit" and "good" in the same sentence. Can anyone say Oxymoron?
I'm into a lot of metal/hardcore/emo/indie/prog bands, and while they aren't my absolute favourite band, I recommend a band called Every Time I Die. They're a US metal/hardcore band who are just starting to be noticed. They write powerful, aggressive songs with interesting lyrics (their new single is about a mass prostitute auction) and they have an odd sense of humour. Best songs are
Ebolarama
Off Broadway
Pornogratherapy
Other bands I'd recommend are
Funeral For A Friend (if you live in the UK you should have heard of them)
Thrice (my absolute favourite band, really good mix of punk, metal and emo, in terms of songwriting, IMO they are the best modern rock band in the world)
Hondo Maclean (hilariously OTT welsh underground emo/thrash metal band)
At The Drive-In (most influential band of the past 5 years)

Yeah, the first 2 albums were really good, but War All The Time was complete and utter shit apart from 2 songs.
DestructionUK
10-03-04, 21:00
im not a fan of emo or nu metal but i would agree thursday own funeral for a friend and all the clones and that korn, deftones and machine head are still the kings of nu metal.
on a better note muse own the UK rock scene (imo any way :D)
and the new decide album is really good.
bands to watch out for . black dahlia murder , damage plan and cult of luna. so very very good (especially cult of luna).
As for this new breed of diluted metal i hope chimara are found to be void and sent back to the production line where they came from same with as i lay dieing.
every time i die = annoying.
Explosions in the Sky.
- The Earth is not a Cold Dead Place.
Explosions in the Sky > Thursay
I like tool...... :) Lots of good bands listed by weazle.
If no one has checked them out yet..........
Let me introduce you to The Mars Volta.
They have a 3 song EP "tremulant"
and a 10 song LP "Deloused in the Comatorium"
Their live show is incredible too.
2 members are ex-ATDI.
Check them out. You can hear a mix of Rush, Zeppelin, Santana, and Yes in their influences, but they definitely have their own style. The chord progressio in the chorus of take the veil on the cd is very catchy. Eriartika is extremely good also and has a good progression.

You may not like the songs, but the bassist and the drummer are extremely talented. One of the better rythm sections to come out of the nu-metal era (:rolleyes: I hate that term.)
The guitarist plays pretty good also, but the bassist and drummer are by far the highlights of that band.

System of a Down are remarkably good, very different IMO.
American bands... Uhhhhhhh.
Slayer
Devin Townsend / Strapping Young Lad
About the only good ones I can think of right now (drunk lol :D)
As you mention european stuff, I assume you already know, Arch Enemy, In Flames et all.
Explosions in the Sky > Thursay
well me and a friend just checked out explosions in the sky...since we've been thursday fans before they started hitting the main-stream...
how can you compare an instrumental band to a band like thursday?...ffs :rolleyes:
Thursday > Explosions in the sky
probly off topic ;)
but try 2 tanks
The union underground
and for something a bit more melow try trapt :O almost boy band ish >_< but still rocky if thats possible :P
but union underground is a must !!
the thing that makes them so great is probably that they use folk-like songs from where the lead singer and the guitarist are from, Armania or somethin.
love that middle-eastern / indian mix with rock sounds great
early metallica and tool = teh win

No way.
I'm fans of them both.
Genre has nothing to do with it, there both emotional like crazy, and there both good.
I HATE "genre" with a vengence.
If you really do like emotional music (why do you listen to thursday if you don't?) then listen to them again, and put your Genre-Ego on hold while doing so.
benjie, you have disapointed me with your choice of music *sigh* ;[ i may forgive you some time but for now... *sigh... emo? what are you thinkin guy? ;[.... *sigh *walks down street with head low* *looks up* WHY?!?!??!?!?!

AFI are not emo.
I agree, 90% of EMO is shit. (just watch Kerrang for 60 minuits and you could learn to hate emo with a vengence)
For the Emo that is actually good, it tends to be very good. Thursdays CD "Full Colapse" is an example of an Exceptionaly good Emo CD.
Beat yeah, there are a lot of crap emo bands in circulation.

Mudvayne is a great band, dunno where dig came from or why it was thier first single but everyone makes mistakes. :rolleyes:
Someone mentioned spineshank...they are one of my fav bands by far. So is Ill Nino.
I could talk about good music all day but im gonna stop here and leave it at that.

Thats about as Homophobic as the Title below my name. (It's not) There is nothing wrong with outlining your sexuality, so long as you don't spread prejdaice about other sexualitys like the motherfucking Catholic church.
What? It's becoming socially exceptable to hate Catholics for being homophobic motherfuckers. Get with the times! :p
I'll stop hating them when they stop hating me. That seems fair enough.

It's like wtf? catholic ppl are funny ;] one of my best friends family is all catholic, yet ive seen so much fucked up stuff in their family ;P
my best friend himself well, lemme say ur title says it all, his dad, i've thrown up a few times when i've gone over to his house and used his comp and seen all the stuff he posts in his little yahoo gallery... god thats so damn nastey... his mom... well lets just say she likes poodles.... alot...
Originally posted by Shujin

The catholic church is under a lot of stress at the moment, because it's beliefs are becoming politically incorrect and socially unaceptable, which is a good thing. Religion is no excuse.
Now back on topic.
My favs apparently arent what the crowd here ordered, hehe.
1) Early Metallica (im suprised only one other person agrees :eek: )
2) Red Hot Chili Peppers (ok, maybe not exactly metal, or "hardcore" rock, but still some pretty damn good music)
3) Disturbed (Daves vocalizations are fucking awesome, though sometimes a bit demonic, hehe)
4) Audioslave (basically Rage Against The Machine, doesnt quite have the kick rage has, but its getting there)
5) POD (just kidding, though there are few songs i actually like ;) )
Im sure theres more, but i guess ill let yall tear apart my favs before I give you any more :rolleyes:

Make that 2 people. Early Metallica were good, but Megadath where better. Dave Mustain put metallica in there shoes in the early days. He's the one who created that sound. He used to be in Metallica, but then metallica chucked him out for being a crazy motherfucker. :p
Megadeth > Metallica.
dont know how early whiskey in the jar, turn the page, the unforgiven, hero of the day, and enter sandman are but i love them ;[

You noob. :p
Whisky in the Jar - Recent Thin Lizy cover ><
Turn the Page - cover of a song by Some American Guy (not previously a well known song, I think.)
Unforgiven - Black Album (not considered early metallica)
Enter Sandman - Black Album (not considered early metallica)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Early Metallica = "Kill em all (83)" "Ride the Lightning (84)" "Master of Puppets (86)" "...And Justice for All (88)"
Not early Metallica = "Black Album (1991)" "load" "ReLoad" "Garage Inc (with the exception of the 2nd CD)" "S&M" "St Anger"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To hear early Metallica, listen to: "Battery" "Motorbreath" "Fight Fire With Fire" "Blackened"
yep im a n00b ;o ;P anyway yea i heard the other turn the age on the radio recently
early metallica does pwn,
Metallica - The Call of Ktulu
Metallica - 2x4
Metallica - Trapped under ice
Metallica - Tears in heaven :P
btw some one give me a list of iron madien to d/l i got half of my music wiped last time i reinstalled :( friend only had 10 gig spare and i filled it all so like 3 gig of music had to go:mad:

Try 'The Pixies' for some REALLY original music ;)
loki try union underground ;) u may like them if u like the other 2
or maybe insane clown possie would be ur taste :S:o
Get yourself a copy of Disturbed's albums matey boy and sit back in wonderment as DD takes you on a lyrical/vocal rollercoaster ride of metal wonder.
First Album is all guttural power whereas after 18 + months of constant touring the band developed skillz:p and made an album to grace anyones collection.
Check out their website for sample tracks and videos
www.disturbed1.com
great thanks for the input!

Megadeth fucking own Metallica! (You noob. Metallica would be shit if it wasn't for Dave Mustains influence when he joined the band! They practically stole Daves work!)
Where the hell are you coming from? You have no ground to stand on.
Instead you just compare the comment to a tastey breakfast? Like, WTF is that?
Rust in Peace > Master of Puppets
Half of Kill Em All was written by Dave Mustain anyway.

Im not a fan of mainstream music, but sometimes theres a good band that makes it big....nothing I can do about that.
I just make sure I listen to new bands right when they come out, before anyone on the radio knows about them....then I don't need an excuse :p
Some great bands that never see much radio play:
Otep: one of a kind vocals
Primer 55: standard rapcore, but better then your regular limp bizkit bullshit...lyrical content is actually A+ in this shit
Videodrone: really different music, not really heavy...nothing can explain these guys
Drain STH: really cool female band
Relative Ash: fucking hardcore vocals, these guys aren't signed to a record label of any sort so thier album is rough but still great
Factory 81: just like relative ash, only different :p
Opeth: good, solid, heavy music
Meshuggah: good, solid, heavy music
Hed P.E: rapcore at its absolute BEST, an intense mix of slow AND fast vocals, heavy AND mellow songs...great lyrical content
Slaves on Dope: heavy vocals, fairly heavy music....you gotta like screaming to enjoy these guys, and you gotta like loud LOUD music that will give you a headache if you listen to it all day. they're probably canada's heaviest band, right out of toronto... good shit worth checking out if you like really LOUD metal, but its not oldschool metallica-loud, its more nu-metal loud
Jerk: amazing new band from australia, they don't have a worldwide release yet but if you look hard enough you can find thier self-released album online that i believe you can only buy in australia
Ill Nino: some mexican dudes that have managed to make really REALLY good, fairly heavy music with great lyrics and theres even some mexican lyrics mixed in lol....these guys take awhile to get used to, but are one of my fav bands hands down..they're a great band
Systematic: not too heavy, but definately solid....like a lighter and more americanized version of ill nino
Spineshank: my fav band atm, nuff said...you should listen to these guys if you can relate to the lyrics and enjoy loud vocals
Spineshank r weird.
I bought there first CD, listened to it once, thought it was good.
I just never listened to it again for some reason.
And Smother is about taking a Long hard shit and it covering your pants, I swear!
