[mattmeck]

no all of the above option?

I listen to a little of this a little of that.

[Lasiel]

I'm w/Matt on that. I listen to a broad range of tunes. Punk, Metal, Cassical, Classic Rock, Industrial etc.

[outerlimit]

General rock.

Good no rap listeners up there lol can't spell crap without rap

[x-scythe]

metal all the way!

[outerlimit]

I'd have to say "whatever." It all depends on the mood I'm in. I get tired of listening to the same style or band after a while.

[Trumpcard]

This is a musical taste list generated by a very young person...

There are a ton of great musical styles outside of what you listed... Bluegrass, blues, jazz (jazz is awesome!) , sca , reggae, orchestra (not always classical you know)...

You havent lived till you've listened to Stanley Jordon...

Lol Yea i am only 14 but i am open to all kinds of music
The one thing i can't stand is Rap i will look for some Stanley Jordon
who ever that is lol 8)

[Lasiel]

For those who like metal check out Meatlocker Seven (http://www.meatlockerseven.com). Really tight musicians who kick major ass. They're from the same city I live and their live show kicks ass!

[Trumpcard]

Very nicely done site.. Good music, these guys can build a good groove and they have some good guitar harmonies, but I have to say this.... Yet another metal band whining about hate and negativity!! What ever happened to good ol metal bands like Iron Maiden that wrote songs about historic events and well known literature ? I like alot of these bands, but I get tired of albums like 'Symphony of Hate' and 'Ode to Misery' and 'Screaming Misery in the deep blackening darkness of my hate'


'metal' bands these days remind me of that goth kid episode of South Park.. Blackness.. pain.. life is pain... complete darkness.. Your a clone.. Be unique, like all of us...

[Lasiel]

There's a large difference between the goths you describe Trump (we call them kindergoths ;)) and real oldschool goths.

But I do relate to what you're saying about the metal scene. Majority of metal bands out now are a clone of emo punk (lyrical wise) and death metal (musical wise).

[Trumpcard]

Thats a pretty good comparison I'd say.. I am of course lumping alot of people together as I'm on the outside of the scene these days (I did use to be a rock/metal musician back about 10 years ago.. everthing from ac/dc skid row, etc to slayer, napalm death, Seplutura) and the scene has changed alot since then.. Goth was just coming into fruitation at that time.. Now it all looks the same to me but admittedly , i have an outsiders perspective now..

I tend to not care about vocals honestly being a guitarist, its all about the instruments to me...

[Lasiel]

Actually Goth's been around just as long as punk (circa 1976) ;) Bands like Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy, Alien Sex Fiend and original Ministry (was just Allen Jourgenson at that time) were all goth bands. Goth back then was a lot different than it is now as well. Most goth bands were what people today would consider to be 'tech' bands :)

[Trumpcard]

Ive never heard Ministry considered 'Goth' , I was actually a really big fan, 'Land of Rape and Honey' and 'Mind is a Terrible Thing' etc.. It was always labelled Industrial... It wasnt until the late 80's that I remember there actually being a labelling of the Goth culture... I know that it is considered a offspring of Punk, (Posipunk?)...

[Lasiel]

If you can, try and find Ministy's 2nd album/cd called Twitch or do a kazaa lite search for anything off that. Your jaw will probably drop. No guitars, all electronic drum machine and all ;) Allen looked a l lot different back then as well. Looked more like a streeter/raver than anything. No wigs or cowboy hats back then..lol I'm actually getting a giggle thinking about what he looked like ;) I'd say Ministry now is probably closer to metal than tech since they actually use real musicians. Before it was just Allen and banks upon banks of synths, midi switches and drum machines as well as vocorder. He's actually rather multifaceted when it comes to bands. He's been in 10,000 homo DJ's and Revolting Cocks as well.

Here's (http://www.scaruffi.com/vol5/ministry.html) a good site for discography and a basic write up on what he's done over the years and what 'genres' he's been affiliated with. Most of it's in spanish, but the recording dates are clear enough and there is a short blurb in english as well :)

Back when I was a teenager (as stated above) the original 'goth' movement was just starting to die out. As you said before it resurfaced in the mid 80's but with a far more 'tech' feel to it rather than the dark edge bands like Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy and Alien Sex fiend put out. Not sure if you remember a rock band from teh 80's called The Cult, but they as well started out in the early 70's as a goth band called Southern Death Cult.

[Trumpcard]

The Cult was great.. Had no idea they had an earlier incarnation... My wife is still in love with Ian Astbury....

[Lasiel]

I still have all their LP's (yes kids, there were things before CD's ;)) including Southern Death Cult and there was a limited edition Video that you could order when you bought the 'Love: LP that's collecting dust in a box with all my other 'collectible' import LP's ;)


Damn do I feel old now..lmao

[Trumpcard]

Yep... We've both dated ourselves....

That's gotta be the funniest thing I've seen yet today.

See, at first, I thought the grammar was meant to be used in a satirical fashion, but I guess not.

Whatever keeps me awake on those lonely drives to school in the morning. Fuck if the weather didn't decide to rain.

I grew up to some of the heavyweights of metal, and loved all of them. Back when Metallica was classified as speed metal, not 'sell out crap metal' (but I DO like SOME of thier newer stuff, just the old stuff ALL was good). Dio, Dokken, Ratt, and yes, quiet riot was good still. Carmine apiece, Rudy Sarzo, and Tony Banoli were titans of rock (hell two out of the 3 played with ozzy at one point or another). It was Kevin Dubrow (sp) that f$cked it up for QR.... But I digress. I am a huge fan of music in general. My grandmother would not let me listen to any music besides Country when I was very young, becuase of the nastiness of the rock music. Ironic though, because if you had ever heard any country back then you would know that it was as dirty or more dirty than rock... C'mon, Conway Twitty sang "Lay me down"....... Anyhow, I Like everything from good orchestra (as trump pointed out, not nessecarily classical), to jazz, to rap (yes I like the way SOME rap is put together, as a song on the whole), and country (not much of that do I like though). I epecially like live music ... I just appreciate the talent it takes to be able to come together and play instruments in such a manner as to entertain an audience. That to me is good music.

[Trumpcard]

QR... I saw them about a year ago.. Kevin Debrow is back with them, so its all the original guys from 'Metal Health'... I always thought Carlos Cavazo was a HIGHLY underrated guitar player, he was incredible..

Dokken, another great band. George Lynch had one of the most unique styles in rock music at the time.. His solos still send shivers up my spine (Dream Warriors, incredible solo, if I play guitar for another 20 years I still wont be able to comp that solo)

I agree, I respect the talent regardless of the genre.. I was trying to learn Chet Aktins 'Yakety Sax' last night (amazing song!). Bluegrass has some awe-inspiring musicians also.

[Mongrel]

My favourites are "Rammstein" and sometimes (really mood dependant) "Deine Lakaien" ("The game" is a great song).

Nothing like programming while listening to really loud music by Rammstein. :)

Classic music is great also and most of the 80s stuff.

[samandhi]

Bluegrass has some awe-inspiring musicians also. I totally agree. Even if you dont like that style of music, one HAS to respect the talent it takes to play those instruments. Hell half of the instruments they used to play dont even have frets on them.. that is a hard thing to do and be in tune all the time.. IMO

NO SH&T? Kevin Dubrow is BACK with them? I'll be d%mned... Wonder how long it will be before he decides to tell the public that they are NOT a heavy metal band again haha.... Also, did you know that (guitar GOD) Randy Rhodes, played with QR? The song thunderbird is dedicated and about his death...

Yeah George Lynch is (again IMO) up there with Eddy as being one of the best guitarists. I thought that Kiss had a ton of albums out.. Hell, between Dokken and Lynch Mob he's got 18 albums out there (not including the re-releases, like The Very Best of Dokken, and the likes.) One of my favorite concerts of all time was Dio, Dokken concert... The light show to that concert was worth the admission price alone, not to mention the music was just awesome...

[Arucard]

rap here for me. more of a growing up thing than anything. grew up in that type of neighborhood. so thats what im attached to.
