i think Kill 'em all was the best cover they made :smile: that song kicks ass , and lots of people don't know that it's actualy a cover, i'll try to find out what band released the original version :smile:

Heh, I guess I inherited a lot of my music tastes from my parents - my dad was always a big listener of stuff like Journey, Boston, Neil Young etc. and my mum's a Queen & Beatles fan. They both used to play in folk bands so i've got them to blame for corrupting me :wink:

I'm 16 and like to listen to bowling for soup, what do you think :razz:
</DIV></DIV>
bowling for soup is cool, too bad they haven't release anything here where i live, and i liek to buy my music :smile: , but one or two dowloads won't kill a man (boy actualy, 16 too)

You don't have a hang over you don't deserve? :O

I loved Bowling for Soup...until I heard them. I figured I'd have to love them with a name like that, it sounded so much like a random Ska band kinda name, but I was disappointed :sad: I've only heard a couple of singles though, so perhaps I'm being too judgemental.

I really do like some pop-punk stuff though, such as Good Charlotte (first album in particular), the Starting Line, or New Found Glory. Yeah so many of the songs sound the same, but some of them really do stand out, and while perhaps they aren't the most monumental of music, they are still perfectly enjoyable.

Anybody got the most recent Less Than Jake album "B is for B-Sides"? I was looking to pick it up, but couldn't find it anywhere so asked for it for christmas. Just after doing so I found it in HMV but didn't think I should buy it in case some relative already had. Also because it was seventeen pounds. Sometimes high street retailers really charge too much :sad:

Hrmm, my friend was always into such bands, she loves Bowling for Soup and I was like bleh. Then again I made it a point to absolutely hate any band she liked. :smile:

Punkesque-wise, I'm into The International Noise Conspiracy, Tiger Army, and Die Arzte, and I don't understand a word that the last is saying but they sound good so I don't really care.

</DIV></DIV>

I only really like Good Charlottes first two albums, their new one I haven't really listened to but it doesn't sound that good.
I haven't listened to less that jake but I've heard their good, might get that album.

It's a decent enough album ReNo but its not worth ?17. It's only about 30 mins long and is over far too soon :sad:

I haven't gotten a Less Than Jake album since Hello, Rockview. I heard a few tracks from Borders & Boundaries and Anthem, but none have interested me enough to buy the whole album, especially with the tragically short album lengths. The whole "ska in the mainstream" thing vanished a bit faster than anyone expected. Perhaps record labels were uneasy about signing bands with so many members? (seriously... they're not into spending more than necessary, and why sign an eight piece when you can sign an equally good four piece?)

Futures is a great album. :biggrin: Jimmy Eat World are one of those bands that just can't make anythging less than perfect.

And Leviathan by Mastodon is still dominating my winamp list. riff after riff after riff after riff...and some insane drumming.

If you guys like upbeat punk style music check out Kid Dynamite,
Lifetime, Dillinger 4, None More Black, or Propaghandi.

Bad Religion is worth checking out, too, of course. And Minor Threat. And Dag Nasty. And Millencolin.

I'm listening to:

Kid606

LTJ Bukem

Kid Dynamite

Lifetime

Elliot Smith

Converge

Counting Crows

Nasum

Neurosis

As the Sun Sets

Aphex Twin

Ehmes

Deltron 3030

Boom Bip and Dose One

and a lot more

And I have no idea why this text is so big, sorry. :/

I do like Propaghandi, Millencolin, Midtown, Pennywise, Fall Out Boy,
Authority Zero, The Impossibles, and loads more punk/pop-punk, but that
doesn't mean Good Charlotte are without merit. I personally enjoy quite
a few of their songs - they aren't up there with my favourites but
still enjoyable.

Got "B is for B-Sides" by Less Than Jake at Christmas, and its a bit
disappointing. Its got some really good songs like "National Anthem"
and "Sleep It Off", but not as many memorable tracks as previous
albums. Perhaps it will grow on me though :smile:

Also got the Howard's Alias album "The Answer is Never", which is
pretty good. Perhaps a little samey, but they have a really good sound
that is very reminiscent of Rx Bandits. If you are looking for
something similar to them, then this album is well worth checking out.

Kid606

Kid Dynamite

Aphex Twin

A man after my own heart!

Yeah I took out the bit about Good Charlotte, I hate music
flames. I don't like them for a variety of reasons but it's not
worth going into here, you're more then entitled to listen to what you
want and I ain't gonna try and tell you what to do.

But seriously, check out Lifetime and Kid Dynamite, and None More Black
which is the singer from Kid Dynamite's new band and is much easier to
get into than the previous two bands which are more hardcore-oriented.

Ahh small text. :o

A man after my own heart!

So I take it you have good taste in music, too?

;D

Debatable :razz: It stretches from Aphex to the Rolling Stones back down to Elgar and Bach!

Most recently I have been listening to..

Prodigy - Dirtchamber sessions Vol I, absolutely quality CD. Fabulous
mixing of grandmaster flash, down to beastie boys and even the sex
pistols. Good party Cd, and very much in the same vein as..

2manyDJ's - As Heard On Radio Soulwax Pt 1/2/3 - all absolutely top
notch CD's, even if youre not the biggest fan of "electro pop" style
music, trhe way these guys link Destinys Child with the Stooges, with
Peaches is just mindblowing - good for a shindig and dance!

I used to have the dirtchamber sessions CD but it vanished somehow a few years ago. That was definitly a killer mix.

Been listening to garage inc metallica album, whiskey in the jar is a good cover :smile:

had that in my prodigy collection, but got rid of that a while ago, wish I
didn't :sad:

The killers [well tracks 2-4] album is good.

call me stupid, but I listen to the following things:

Linkin Park

The HL2 soundtrack

Rammstein

Scooter

anime music

My latest acquisitions:

Belle & Sebastian - Dear Catastrophe Waitress: Great stuff, only CD of theirs that I've found myself able to listen to all the way through, really.

Elliott Smith - Figure 8 + From A Basement On The Hill + XO: His 3 last CDs (I think), they're all super-good, though Figure 8 made me listen to it 3-4 times before I thought that.

I Monster - Neveroddoreven: Found this from the Shaun of the Dead soundtrack, killer electro.

Tegan & Sara - If You Say So + So Jealous + This Business Of Art: Their only 3 CDs, pretty damn good stuff.

The Kovenant - Seti: Dunno how to describe it (not that it's particularly original), but still some good stuff.

Lowgold - Just Backward Of Square
Sparta - Porcelain
Alexisonfire - Watch Out!

That's about all i've been listening to at the moment as I've not had much of a chance to sit down and relax for the last few weeks :smile:

i was recently enlightened. sadly it ruined one of my all time favorite songs.

its gay related, so i don't think i should go into any details, but it was not a good day for me.

Picked up Pearl Jam's greatest hits (rearviewmirror), and I recommend everyone who enjoys rock music should do so as well.

Lynyrd Skynyrd has been a favourite recently as well.

i tend to like songs on the flip side of 45's best.

"Witch Hunt" was on the back side of Rush's "Tom Sawyer"

I also dearly love Alan Parsons "In the lap of the gods" I could listen to it looped for hours.

28 days in, and i've already found album of the year. No, don't bother
looking for anything else, because I've just discovered it.

The Mars Volta -- Frances The Mute

Maybe it's just due to me listening to this at 3 in the morning, or
maybe this really is the best album f**kin' eva.
Psychadelic, mad, insane, sexy, loud, heavy, soft, sensual, dirty,
inspiring, genius...there's too many words to use to describe it. This
is NOT De-Loused Mark. 2, this is a whole new breed of skullf**king
prog-rock.

Recently been listening to The Arcade Fire, a really interesting little Canadian band. Great stuff, but I'm not sure what genre to apply to them... They're got guitars, drums, violins, piano, etc. Very good stuff. Some of my favorite tracks, if you want to track 'em down are Rebellion (Lies), Neighborhood #3 (Power Out), and Une Annee Sans Lumiere.

In another vein, I've been listening to My Bloody Valentine (and that name is incredibly misleading for the style of music- so don't judge it by that). If you've seen Lost in Translation, they do the song at the very closing of the movie. That track is called Sometimes. I Only Said and I Believe are two other good tracks by them. Their style is kind of heavy instrumental matched with interesting vocals. Sometimes is a much more epic song than the other two, with great developement and tone.

I've recently been listening to my Mogwai stuff too- great little moody jam band. Really good instrumentals on some tracks. Highlights include A Cheery Wave from Stranded Youngsters, Ratts of the Capitol, Golden Porche, and Hunted by a Freak.

Finally, I've been listening to a few tracks from Damien Rice. He's most recently been known for his track on the movie Closer called The Blowers Daughter. It's a great vocal track, if you're into lighter, deep soft-rock.

Is the new Mars Volta album a return to At the Drive In-quality or the same idea as Deloused, as that album sucked. What I'm saying is if you hated their first album is their second worth hearing?

I have decided that I really like The Faint, and I'll probably go out and buy all their albums just for the hell of it. Their best stuff I think is on Danse Macabre, it's dark, singable, and reminds me of NIN - Pretty Hate Machine.

I also suggest downloading The Stooges - Search and Destroy, as that is simply an awesome song made better by its usage in the movie The Life Aquatic.

De-Loused wasn't bad, it was just very, very eratic. Some of the tracks are really quite nice once you get past the ecentricities.

Oh, and another Iggy Pop and the Stooges track to get would be I Wanna be Your Dog. Awesome stuff.

The Arcade Fire was kinda boring for me, though for some reason I kept listening to Haiti over and over.

And while I'm here... Kage, you should get Kreator - Enemy of God, knowing you're a metalhead and all.

I'm that way with Neighborhood #3, I just can't seem to get enough of it. They just have such an offbeat sound and a great message.

Hey Yo doctor, here's another proper crack
and it's phat, watch the sniper, time to pay the piper
and let that real s**t provoke, so you's a wanna be 'loc
and you'll get smoked and i hope that your fans understand
when your talk about playin me, the same records that your
makin' is payin me
Motherf**k Dre
Motherf**k Snoop
Motherf**k Death Row
Yo, and here comes my left blow
'cuz i'm the E-A-Z-Y-E, and this is the season
to let the Real motherf**kin G's in, your like a kid
found a pup and now your dapper, but tell me where the
f**k you found an anorexic rapper
talkin 'bout who you go squabble with and who you shoot
you're only 60 pounds when your wet and wearin boots
damn E, they tried to fade you on Dre Day
But Dre Day only met Eazy's pay day
all of a sudden Dr Dre is a G thing, but on his
old album cover he was a she thing
so Nigga please, Nigga please don't step to these
motherf**kin' Real G's

or the same idea as Deloused, as that album sucked. What I'm saying is
if you hated their first album is their second worth hearing?

This is five times as eccentric and psychadelic, so if you didn't like
that aspect from De-Loused, don't bother with Frances The Mute. Of
course, if you DID like the eccentricity, you'll gobble it up.

Just been listening to De-loused in my car and i'm really looking forward to their new album :smile:

Just picked up a copy of '...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead's last album before their newie comes out on Monday.

Speaking of eccentricity, System Of A Down's new single "Cigaro" is a fine example. :smile:

I have been listening a lot to frank klepacki a lot lately. He made the music for the Command and Conquer series.

http://www.frankklepacki.com/

I would sugges Hellmarch, Hellmarch 2, in deep and offcourse radio and mud.

i have fairly eclectic tastes in music, i tend to lean toward that which is based on primo musicianship more than that which is popular....visa vi, ive been using a bit of nepitism, listening to my godson's band, which is collecting quite a large following thru the midwestern US, and although ska and latin based rock is not my favorite stuff, they have grown on me quite a bit of late....

heres a link, feel free to comment, ya wont hurt my feelings... :biggrin:

Doc B.. :dodgy:

Sonic mayhem... amazing band- they did the Quake 2 and Quake 3 soundtracks, and a bit of Doom 3 I believe.

http://www.sonicmayhem.com/

You can download some of thier stuff from the website.

Doc, talk about a small world. My old band played a show with them in Beatrice a little over a year ago. :smile: 'twas good times, that.

well hell Andrew, 'tis a small world.....

glad you enjoyed it.... im not gonna sit here and tell you that the boys in anchondo are relatives of beethoven, but they do put on a damn good show....im quite proud of my godson, and namesake (Alex the drummer) as he had nothing but obstacles in front of him when he was a kid....his dad and i used to play together many years ago, and ive watched him grow not only into a fine musician, but a damn good kid too..... i truly hope he does well....

***puffs up chest, struts about the room... :biggrin:

Doc B... :dodgy:

by the way andrew, what was yer old bands name, if i may?....ive played around the midwest myself for many years ... :wink:

dont know why, but ive been quite angry lately, and finding myself listening to bands like disturbed, godsmack, drowing pool , etc.....wondering where the anger comes from; stress, life in general, etc.....doing the head banging thing in the truck just to get pumped up for work.....unusual for an old fart like myself.....

must be a phase.... :razz:

Doc B... :dodgy:

hey Lep...any way i can get rid of that old DRS tag without screwing up the works? :biggrin:

What on earth is going on here? One Doc Brasso is more than enough thank you very much!

Just rediscovered my Kerbdog CD :smile: Mexican Wave and Sally are great songs - and they've just reformed too so hopefully a new album will be in the works...

Got 'Regular Urban Survivors' on at the moment by Terrorvision. Another great band that never lasted.

And the new System Of A Down song is just plain crazy :biggrin: Can't wait for the album(s).

I am in FULL f**king fanboy mode here:

NEW NIN s**tZNER

HALO 18 -- THE HAND THAT FEEDS

HALO 19 -- NINE INCH NAILS: WITH TEETH

1. All The Love In The World

2. You Know What You Are?

3. The Collector

4. The Hand That Feeds

5. Love Is Not Enough

6. Every Day Is Exactly The Same

7. With Teeth

8. Only

9. Getting Smaller

10. Sunspots

11. The Line Begins To Blur

12. Beside You In Time

13. Right Where It Belongs

The first thought that came across my mind was "finally, Trent's thinking up good song titles"
(Besides You In Time, All The Love In The World). There's also a little
teaser (even if it isn't much, though I'm inclined to beleive it's the
single greatest teaser ever)! It won't stream for me off the nin
website, so here's a direct link you can save I found:

http://boss.streamos.com/download/i...aser_30s_hi.mov

[EDIT]: Also found an mp3 someone's done if you don't like messing with QT (though it doesn't have the pretty visuals):

http://members.shaw.ca/nsixx/wt_teaser.mp3

It's interesting, to say the least. Definately different, which I'm sure we've all come to expect. Now, if you'll excuse me...

/me gibbers as he listens to the teaser on loop

Best band: DEVO
Best musicians: Lee Jackson and Robert Prince III

Recently aquired all 4 of the official Godspeed you Black Emporer! CD's, and I have to say that I'm thoroughly impressed with them. They're classified as both Rock and orchestraic, so if you're into that sort of thing, I would highly suggest checking out a few of their tracks. There aren't any vocals, and some most of the songs span 10-20 minutes, but God they're gorgeous.

Good tracks to look up- Storm, motherf**ker=redeemer (part 1) (taking into account the curse-word filter here :smile: ), rockets fall on Rocket Falls.

Very good background/driving music IMO.

i listened to that one u sent and i liked it immensely.

In no particular order:

Metallica

Megadeth

Pantera

Exodus

Slayer

Yngwie Malmsteen

Dream Theatre

Led Zeppelin

Diamond Head

Cacohpony

Black Sabbath

Steve Vai

Pink Floyd

Joe Satriani

The Misfits

Ozzy Osbourne

'Curtains' by John Frusciante.

By far the best of the 6 albums he's released this year. Some truly beautiful guitar-work.

Also picked up 'You & Me' by Open Hand after hearing a track on the Roadrunner Records website. For some reason all the music magazines are comparing them to Queens Of The Stone Age, but they remind me much more of King's X. It's a great album and i've not stopped playing it in my car.

Going to pick up the new 'Bloc Party' album tomorrow as it's pay day (finally!).

Dream Theater's "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence".. if you're into metal (or just want something new), i highly recommend this.

'Dream Theater - A Change of Seasons'. One of the very few songs to move me to tears as i listened. it's ~24 minutes long, and has entire segments dedicated to instrumental.. so keep an open mind. Here's a small taste..

<DIV class=quote>
<DIV class=quotetitle>? quote:</DIV>
<DIV class=quotetext>We can learn from the past
But those days are gone
We can hope for the future
But there might not be one
The words stuck in my mind
alive from what I've learned
I have to seize the day
To home I returned
Preparing for her flight
I held with all my might
Fearing my deepest fright
She walked into the night
She turned for one last look
She looked me in the eye
I said, 'I Love You...Good-bye'</DIV></DIV>

..http://www.stormpages.com/lyrics/text/seasons.html#1..

read the lyrics, or download it.. (depending on your level of morality) =D

ah ive been spotted! ::rushes off::

Blutengel - Demon Kiss: Wow, not even close to as good as their last 3 CDs, this one's really quite boring. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, especially fans of Blutengel...

Terminal Choice - Menschenbrescher: Pretty decent electro metal (or something), Eiszeit or Engelstod are probably my two favorite tracks, though all are listenable (IMO).

T. Raumschmiere - Radio Blackout: Strange techno/electro, some great stuff though, Someone or A Million Brothers are awesome.
