Outcast Music!

[Ice Man]

What music do you guys like? I know there already is a thread on this in the stuff and bother, but it has become too big and too boring to read.

I like Rock and Roll from the late 60s and early 70s. My favourite bands are Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple.

But right now I'm actually listening to some eletronic music.

What about you?

[Celebthôl]

Hip-hop n Rap, here

[Ice Man]

Now I'm listening to the TV.

[YayGollum]

Any kind of music that you can tap your feet to, hum to, bob your head to, stuff like that. No particular type. sorry about that.

[Goldberry344]

THE JULIANA THEORY!! *glomps tjt* and Vast....the cd that i.a.s burned for me is good. and such.

[mr underhill]

eminem , linkin park , crazy town , korn , sum 41 , puddle of mudd....

coldplay and a few others..

[Ice Man]

Eminem is so not cool :P

[Wolfshead]

I like anything that's good. By good I mean, Heavy Metal, Power Metal or Classic Rock. Here's a few -

Iron Maiden
Iced Earth
Elvenking
Black Sabbath
Blind Guardian

Any other genre's, I hate, well, no. I can tolerate most other kinds of Metal, except Thrash and Nu. Any Pop, Dance, Rap etc, I despise, and will go to any lengths to avoid.

[Mindy_O_Lluin]

I like Andreas Vollenweider ! (Ducks flying potatoes).

[EverEve]

Never 'eard of 'em, Mindy. *Ducks the flying potato that Mindy chucks at her*

I go for the whole rock, rap, hip-hop scene:

Sum-41, Linkin Park, New Found Glory, Eminem (I LOVE HIM!...just to get that out in the open :)), Third Eye Blind, Our Lady Peace, Nas, Coolio, Nelly, Simple Plan (havent heard much from them though)...There are alot more, I just cant think of them...Oh yah, Add PINK to the list...I like 'er!

[Mindy_O_Lluin]

Oh NO! I'm already the outcast of the Outcasts. (Squash that New Age music! squash, squash! - I'll just hide in my closet to listen!)
:o

[Ice Man]

I'm listening to some Daft Punk now...

[HobbitGirl]

I like lots of music...from Beethoven to bagpipes to Nutcracker to punk. I can tolerate some disco that is really fun to dance to, but I despise pop and rap. I don't like Eminem, and most metal turns me off, simply because the lyrics are angry and violent. I believe listening to music should be fun, not depressing!

Hey! New age isn't bad! GO ENYA!

[Dragon]

I like enya too! I listen to mix stations (ya know, "80s 90s and today)
right now my favorites are Santana and


STING!!!!

[Froggum]

I dig a lot of old stuff. Doobies, Kansas, the Guess Who, HENDRIX!America, Skynyrd. And then there's old country I was brought up on: Patsy Cline and Jim Reeves. I also really like Aerosmith. Gotta love the Beatles. (All you need is love, guys) Oh, and can't forget Chicago, Carole King, Weird Al Yankovic, and John Williams' awesome soundtrack music.

[HobbitGirl]

Weird Al! How could I have forgotten Werid Al! I have five of his albums!

"You gotta squeeze all the Charmin you can
When Mr. Whipple's not around."

[Dragon]

I love emo and oldies, my parents listen to country, so I know those songs too. my favorites are sting (the police) and celine dion

[Froggum]

Best Weird Al song EVER:

"Polka Power" from Running with scissors.

Oh, and must mwntion my favorite Sesame Street tunes:

"MANAMANA!" "C is for Cookie" and "Fuzzy and Blue"

[HobbitGirl]

I have to disagree with you, Froggum. The best Weird Al song ever is "Dare to be Stupid" off the album Dare to be Stupid.

"Stick your head in the microwave and get yourself a tan."

[Froggum]

I'll have to download that.

[Froggum]

Okay, I downloaded it, but my decision still stands. Its funny, but musically, I find it lacking.

Nice choices. I LOVE New Found Glory. "I'm bruised and broken, from our head on collison...." I love that song...

[Mindy_O_Lluin]

Do any of you remember there was a New-Age group about 10 years or more ago called SHADOWFAX? I used to have a tape by them, but my car got stolen once and all my best tapes lost.

[munchkin]

Your car got stolen?!?!?!? That must be HORRIBLE!!!! I would be soooo pi$$ed off for ages if that happened to me(which wont happen for a while. I'm 13!)!!!!!!!

[Mindy_O_Lluin]

Ah, well, I wasn't too worried, as I knew I would get the insurance money for it and buy a new car, but the cops found the guy still driving it two days later. They chased him down, ran over a bunch of medians, until he ran my car into someone's yard, jumped out, and the cops chased him thru some alley's until they finally caught him. I had to go into court to identify him. But at least the insurance co. gave me a rental car for the month while my car was in the shop getting fixed.

[EverEve]

AG! Your car got stolen?! Ok...so we've established that it got stolen, but its still bad!

Munchkin: I LoVe that song too! Yah, and "Sonny"...'Im sorry I heard about the bad news today, a crowd of ppl around you...' It really struck home when someone I knew died..yahh.

[munchkin]

The more I see your posts here, EverEve, the more I'm LOVING you!!!!!! You like signs, new found glory, and proably a bunch of other stuff I dont know about! This is great!!!! Finally, someone like me here...

[EverEve]

WOOOHOO! *is v. happy cuz she has a new friend!* Lets see...do you like Linkin Park?

[munchkin]

LINCOLN PARK IS THE BEST!!!!!

"In the end, it doesn't even matter..."
I LOVE THAT SONG!

[munchkin]

yep, new friend, right here:D

[Dragon]

AARGH!!!!! you two are everywhere!!! just exchange e-mail, or IM or whatever! I'm not trying to be mean or snobby, but you guys keep posting about how great the other one is, not that that's bad, except when done in excession. (munchkin and evereve)

[Froggum]

Chill out, man! Love your neighbor and all that stuff. Learn tolerance. Calm yourself.

[EverEve]

Dear God, man! Take a breather over there. Forgive me for posting! Just becuase Im active in our Guild, and Munchkin and I tend to be on the same threads, and discuss things, is no reason to...have a hissy-fit. ;) I could be oh-so more annoying.

btw, we did...exchange msn adresses, i mean. :)

[munchkin]

Yeah. We exchanged MSN e-mails, but were both never on at the same time. I could be WAY more annoying also than this!

[Dragon]

I'm sorry, I admit, that was pretty obnoxious, I shouldn't have typed that, it was rude, and I was having a bad day, I'm sorry, you guys

[munchkin]

Thats ok. I'm like that sometimes too....

[EverEve]

Thats ok, Dragon! I was mean too! We still love you! *hug*

[munchkin]

Yeah, we still love you!

[YayGollum]

Crazy people! Well, those two Outcasts are definitely sticking together! I have nothing more to say about music. *hides* :eek:

[munchkin]

Yep. We stick together. Isnt that right, EverEve?

[EverEve]

Yah, you got that right. :)

SO...what do you guys think about Incubus?

[YayGollum]

Never heard of it. I never remember the names of artists, groups, or songs. sorry about that. I just remember the hummable music. I might know the music of whatever you're talking about.

[munchkin]

I'm sure Dragon isnt gonna like this, but INCUCUS RULES!!!!!

[Dragon]

actually, my best friend loves incubus, and while I'm not obsessed like she is, they do have some cool stuff

and thankyou for the hugs, I feel all warm and toasty now

[Wolfshead]

Ok, I'm going to supply a list of bands that any self-respecting Metal fan should listen to.

Iron Maiden (THE Heavy Metal band)
Iced Earth (Heavy/Power Metal)
Elvenking (Folk Metal)
Primordial (Celtic Black Metal)
Powerquest (UK Power Metal)
DragonForce (UK Melodic Power Metal)
Nightwish (Heavy Metal)
Waylander (Um, a mix of Heavy, Black, Death & Power)
Blind Guardian (Power Metal)
Tristania (Goth Metal)
Cruachan (Celtic Folk Metal)

And I could go on, but that's a fairly good list.

[Dragon]

maybe it's me, but suddenly, I'm seeing lot's of UKs powers and metals... am I going insane?

[Wolfshead]

Well, the Metal scene is emerging as more popular now, largely thanks to Nu-Metal (which I despise), but hey, if it makes people listen to good music after it, I'm all for it!

If you lot like, I can give you some links where you can download some cool tracks, not using Kazaa. Just lemme know.

[Ol'gaffer]

we need Nightwish, I repeat, we need Nightwish!

[Wolfshead]

Just out of curiousity, have you ever seen Nightwish live? And if you have, are they good live?

[munchkin]

I personally dont care for heavy metal...

[Wolfshead]

Well, then, Munchkin, you haven't lived :p

[munchkin]

Rock is sooo much better...

[greypilgrim]

newest Outcast Guilds "member"
Hey all whatsup? I just wanna say heavy metal is killer, rock is p***y, some rap is sweet, punk is groovy, and all POP sucks.
Pantera, (older) Metallica, and Sepultura, to name a few metal bands.
Snoop, Dre, 50cent, 2pac, Method/Redman are cool rap.
Kinks, Dayglo Abortions, Sex Pistols, D.R.I., S.O.D. good punkrock.

[munchkin]

WHAT were you trying to say about rock?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[Dragon]

I don't really like describing the stuff I listen to in genres, becauseI like individual songs, but I guess if I had to pick one, most the good songs are on rock stations

[greypilgrim]

munchkin, I tried to say rock is "pretty", but I spelled it wrong! sorry.
Besides, what is "Rock" anymore, in 2003?

[munchkin]

oh, ok. I though you were gonna something else:p . ok. Thats a lot better than what I thought you were gonna say!!!:D

[greypilgrim]

So what is Rock and Roll then?

And Craig, I like the Piece of mind avatar...... sweet!

[munchkin]

Rock rules!!!

[Wolfshead]

Originally posted by greypilgrim

And Craig, I like the Piece of mind avatar...... sweet! I always thought of Rock 'n Roll as stuff like Bill Hayley & The Comets, from the 50's and 60's, but the term gets applied to all sorts now. I just ignore mainstream music now, and mostly listen to Underground Metal types, where the bands actually care about the fans.

Yes, my avatar is quite nice, isn't it? :) And new Maiden album in the summer! Maybe that'll convert some of these commercial-loving kids to good ol' Metal?

[HobbitGirl]

I'm not a big fan of metal, simply because the lyrics of all of the metal songs I've heard are too angry for me. I know that's a tad bit closed minded of me to say that, as I haven't listened to a very big variety of metal, but I think I'll just stick with my other music for now.

[Dragon]

I think some metal is ok, but most are too angry, like hg said...munchkin, you might want to edit your last post, or you'll get more warning points!

[munchkin]

Eh, who cares what the mods think...like they even moderate here anyway...never mind, I changed it. Don't want to make another bad impression with the mods:D

[Dragon]

yeah, I PMed sum 1 about cussing because they already had like 5 warnings, and I liked talking to them, but I don't think they'll read it

[kohaku]

I don't know what you would call half the stuff i listen to. I guess alternative rock or something. Bands like Cake, Weezer, Jimmy Eat World. My favorite band is They Might Be Giants, i've only heard one station that actually plays any of their songs. I also like stuff such as Peter Gabriel and Talking Heads. Then there's dance/techno and new age. And of course songs here and there from other genera.

[HobbitGirl]

Go They Might Be Giants! :D:D

"Triangle Man, Triangle Man. Triangle Man hates Particle Man. They have a fight, Triangle wins, Triangle Man." Do do de de doo doo doobie doobie doo doo doobie doo doo doobie doobie doo doo doo.

[balrog]

rush
yes
queens of the stone age
foo fighters

richie hawtin aka plastikman
paul van dyk
dave clarke
timo maas

vivaldi
bach
pachbel
mozart

[munchkin]

Go Jimmy Eat World, Foo Fighters, and Queens of the Stoneage!:D

[kohaku]

Go They Might Be Giants!

Alright!!! I find very few people outside my "group" of friends have even heard of They Might be Giants, let alone like them!! When I was visiting my dad this summer (he lives in Florida), I brought a bunch of my TMBG CDs, and he LOVED them!! He even ended up burning all the albums that I had brought with me. I thought that was pretty neat.

[Dragon]

I'm not big on knowing who the artist is, just the songs....what songs do they sing?

[HobbitGirl]

Heh heh heh....well, way I heard that song was indirectly through my brother, acutally. Some guy had made music video of that song using various scenes from Dragonball Z, and my brother downloaded it, and I happened to walk into his room when he was playing it. I asked him to play it again, and since then I have LOVED that song. So funny. :D

(Heh, Dragon, you like DBZ, can you guess who was Particle Man, Triangle Man, Person Man, and Universe Man? :D)

[kohaku]

some of the TMBG songs i've heard on the radio that people might know are: Particle Man, Birdhouse in Your Soul.... um... The Guitar (played to the tune Lion Sleeps Tonight)... hmmm what else... they also do Not the Boss of Me, the theme song for the show Malcolm in the Middle (great show BTW).

oh yes, and Dr. Worm, they used to play that a lot where I live.... some five to seven years ago

[Dragon]

Hg; weren't they in the world games or something? I don't have cable, so I don't get to watch it as much as I would like

[HobbitGirl]

Eh...Dragon, I think you misunderstood me a little bit. Some guy made this music video using clips from various episodes of DBZ. Every time TMBG sang about a certain superhero, e.g. Particle Man, you would see a certain DBZ character doing something. And the something they were doing sometimes even relfected something that TMBG were singing about. In short, four DBZ characters were "cast" as Particle Man, Universe Man, Triangle Man, and Person Man.

Eh...does that make sense?

[Dragon]

ummmm yeah, it does, but I would have to think about it.....ummm is universe man king ki? probably not but....

[HobbitGirl]

Nah, I'll save you the trouble.

Particle Man=Goku
Triangle Man=Cell
Universe Man=Hercule
Person Man=Krillin

He heh he...when TMBG sing "Person man, person man. Hit on the head with a frying pan" it shows Krillin getting baped over the head by Piccolo. :)

Ofcourse I've seen Nightwish live! They were awesome! I even talked to the main singer, she's funny as hell!

[My_Precious]

I like:
Linkin Park (can't wait for their new CD!)
Good Charlotte
Green Day
Eminem
All American Rejects
Chevelle
...

And I hate pop!

[Wolfshead]

I might be seeing them in the summer, but one of my friends has decided he can't afford it, I've got to sway his decision :mad: Otherwise I won't go, because all the during the day, for three days (it's a festival), I would be bored out of my mind.

But Nightwish are releasing a live DVD this year, I might buy it. And also, I bought Oceanborn the other day. A splendid album, and the cover of The Snowman theme was funny at first, and then it became really good!

Yeah, I don't like much "mainstream" metal nowadays. Although there are some bands. What about Pantera?
Alot of Metal bands from Sweden are coming out now that hit hard. In Flames is a good one.
Whats your fav. Maiden album? Mine is prob. Piece of Mind or Live After Death.... (any older stuff really)
And like Lenny Kravitz said, "Rock and Roll is DEAD."
Commercial-loving kids will not convert..........
They just don't hear what we hear.

Talk to me about metal from before 1990's, when Nirvana and Grunge music came onto the scene. When songs actually had guitar solos in them!
S.O.D.? D.R.I.? Dayglo? That's some old-school, underground stuff. (punk) Meatmen? Cannibal Corpse? Death? Sacred Reich?
Suicidal T's? Megadeath? The Accused? Misfits? Sepultura? Strapping Young Lads? Butthole Surfers? Agnostic Front? Black Flag? Motorhead? Maiden? I know I'm missing so many.....
There's were so many metal/punk bands! What happened????
They all sound the same now! (bands nowadays!)

[greypilgrim]

Oh yah!....Dream Theater! Dream Theater!
They are awesome!

[Wolfshead]

I've only got, um, *Counts on fingers* 5 Maiden albums. Being

Iron Maiden
Fear Of The Dark
Best Of The Beast
Brave New World
Edward The Great

The reason for this being I can't afford everything I'd like. But I'm one track away from finishing the download of Killers. Not strictly legal, but I wouldn't be able to buy it anyway... My favourite is probably Brave New World along with Iron Maiden. The great guitar work on BNW and the rawness of Iron Maiden make them both great, in my opinion.

Kids can be made to like Metal. Until a year and a half or so ago, I was one of them. I listened to Nu-metal - Papa Roach, Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit etc - and Classic Rock - Bon Jovi, Aerosmith. Then one day I searched for 'Lord Of The Rings' on Kazaa, found that song by Blind Guardian, and it just developed from there. Now Metal is more important to me than football!

Damn, I recognise very few of those bands you mentioned! I mostly listen to newer Metal, along with Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath. Although I'm in the process of getting some Saxon and Def Leppard stuff.

S.O.D., D.R.I, Dayglo, Meatmen, Cannibal Corpse, Death, Sacred Reich, Suicidal T's, The Accused, Misfits, Butthole Surfers, Agnostic Front, Black Flag - Never heard of them... Sorry...

Megadeath - I was going to buy an album of theirs one day but decided on something else instead. They're American, I just seem to avoid American metal for some reason. Except Iced Earth, of course.

Sepultura - One of my mates listens to them, but I've never got round to it. He's only got them on vinyl, and I can't be bothered with that.

Strapping Young Lads - There's a band around now called Strapping Young Lad. Maybe the same? I downloaded one of their tracks from the Century Media site. It was Death Metal, and too extreme for my tastes.

Motorhead - Downloaded one of their tracks once. I think it was Brave New World. For ages I believed it to be Brave New World by Iron Maiden.

Dream Theater - Heard of them. I think they had some ties with Maiden way back. Haven't heard them though.

Ok, so here's some of the bands I listen to. A long list

Iron Maiden
Iced Earth
Black Sabbath
Blind Guardian
Elvenking
Primordial
Nightwish
Cruachan
Anathema

And I could list loads more, but they are the best. Anyway, that's me finished for now, my sister wants on and I need to set some more Maiden tracks downloading...

Never heard of Nightwish, Elvenking, Cruachan. Have to look for them in Kazza (oops!) I mean somewhere.
The Brave new World album is cool, but I like older Maiden better. I do like that song Nomad, it reminds me of Maiden's earlier work.
Most of the bands I listed are hard-core punk, or hard-core metal, all from before the 1990's. Dayglo Abortions is funny, hand-hitting punk. Same for S.O.D. (stormtroopers of death.)
Dude, you HAVE to check out Dream Theater. Any metal or hard rock loving person should like them alot. Look for "Six degrees of Inner Turbulence", a song called "Fatal Tragedy" pretty much sums up what they are about! You'll love it!

Anyways, go hard metal!! Kick nu-metal and pop in the ***** or the *****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who likes Rap? Any Snoop dog fans or Method Man/Redman or Dr. Dre fans in here?
Gotta go!

[Goldberry344]

i am afraid i very strongly dislike rap...but i just got the new Juliana theory cd, and it makes me happy to no extent.

[Wolfshead]

Nightwish (http://www.nightwish.com) - A Finnish heavy metal band. Female vocalist, more relaxing than Maiden and the like. I'm sure Ol'gaffer will happily tell you all about them! You can get some of their stuff, including 3 full songs of their site, linked above, or use Kazaa. For Kazaa I would recommend The Riddler and Elvenpath.

Elvenking (http://www.elvenking.net) - Officially described as Italian Medieval Folk Metal. I wonder how many other bands there are in that genre? They've a good mix of folk, heavy, power and death metal with some female vocals. One album released so far, Heathenreel but the second should be out later this year. Their site has 3 songs to download, but with Kazaa get White Willow and Seasonspeech. Often compared to Skyclad.

Cruachan (http://www.cruachan.cjb.net) - Celtic Folk Metal. I've got one of their albums, Folk-Lore. It's good, but maybe focuses on the folk element more than it should for your liking, greypilgrim. They've got a female vocalist who seems to know Pierce Brosnan, he's thanked in the credits. That album also features Shane MacGowan in a few of the tracks, the frontman of The Pogues. There're a few samples on their site, but you need to download Ride On, it's a magnificent track.

I remembered where I heard Dream Theater. Iron Maiden FC Magazine 66 or 67 had an article about them. In October-ish for a few gigs in London and Paris they completely covered the Maiden album The Number Of The Beast, all the tracks from it! I shall maybe check them out, can you recommend any tracks by them?

I used to like rap before I became enlightened. Although Eminem's song, Lose Yourself from 8 Mile is good.

[Dragon]

universe man=goku
persom man= Hercule

[greypilgrim]

I will check out the bands you mentioned! Folk-metal, hmmmm...

Just look for anything by Dream Theater, most of it I think you will like, it floats between fast, mellow, heavy, mellow, crazy, fast, and mellow sounds, on every song! :) They are very unique.
Definately get "Six degrees of Inner Turbulence"!
Eminem is alright, but I'm sick of him already, kindof. I like old-school rap, not too old, like Run DMC, but old-school, like the ghetto boys, NWA. and mostly gangsta ****.
I finally tracked down the Dayglo Abortions album, Feed us a Fetus. Kazaa only has a few of the songs off that album, and another album is Two Dogs F*****g, both of them older stuff from them. Their newer stuff is weak. I should have that CD in a week, I'm soooo happy!
In like Iced Earth's album art! You don't see that anymore!
Do you listen to King Diamond?
Damn, Craig, Craig is my name too! haha!

[Nóm]

I am surprised to see that someone here listens to Anathema, only because I don't know anyone who does... I love that band!

[Ol'gaffer]

Craigsmith: Personally I think that "Oceanborn" is their second worst album yet, their worst being "Angels fall first". You should, if you allready haven't, download these songs form kazaa:

Bless the child
Wishmaster
Dead to the world
Beauty of the beast live version

and nearly all the songs from their newest album "Century Child" Nightwish are currently holding a break from music and touring so if you have a chance to see them this summer GO! Even if your friend doesn't come it'll be worth it, because there is the chance that you might not be able to see them live for a longe time after this tour!

The lead singer is currently studying opera in Germany right now. Just popped into my head and I thought that I'll just put it here.

I'm surprised that someone not european, (if you're from Europe then my bad) has actually listened to Nightwish and liked it! That's a great thing and I urge that everybody who has the least bit of interest to heavy metal to go and either download or buy these albums from them:

Century Child
Wishmaster
Over the Hills and Far Away

These are by far their best albums. And craigsmith is right. If anyone has anything to ask about them I'll be happy to tell.

[Wolfshead]

greypilgrim: Just look for anything by Dream Theater, most of it I think you will like, it floats between fast, mellow, heavy, mellow, crazy, fast, and mellow sounds, on every song! They are very unique.
Definately get "Six degrees of Inner Turbulence"! Downloaded that track last night, only listened to it a couple of times, been busy, but it's alright. Not as good as Maiden though ;) Can you give me any other great songs by them?
In like Iced Earth's album art! You don't see that anymore!
Do you listen to King Diamond?
Damn, Craig, Craig is my name too! haha! Yeah, the Iced Earth art is great, especially on Something Wicked This Way Comes, the Egyptian stuff inside that is really cool.

The name King Diamond rings a bell, but never heard of them. Recommended tracks?

Yes, Craig is a good name. Ah, but what makes you think it's my real name? ;)
Nóm: I am surprised to see that someone here listens to Anathema, only because I don't know anyone who does... I love that band! I've only got Judgement, a copy from a friend who's a big fan of doom metal. It is a very good album, but I don't often listen to it, I find a lot of that stuff too depressing for my usual tastes. But they are good, and the lyrics are smashing, for lack of a better word :)

Ol'gaffer: Personally I think that "Oceanborn" is their second worst album yet Really? I was told on the Blind Guardian forum by loads of people that I should buy that album. I asked which to get, and I was inundated with people saying "Oceanborn!". But if it's not that good, can't wait for the rest...

I'm going to try and sort out what I'm going to do about Bloodstock tomorrow. I don't know if I'll be going.

Ol'gaffer: I'm surprised that someone not european, (if you're from Europe then my bad) has actually listened to Nightwish and liked it! That's a great thing and I urge that everybody who has the least bit of interest to heavy metal to go and either download or buy these albums from them:
Note "Location: Scotland" :p So I can say I'm European, just. I can't say I specifically know any Americans who like Nightwish but some of the Nightwish fans on www.blind-guardian.com/forum/index.php must be American. I'll get those albums eventually, but there's so much to buy! Skyclad and Saxon next, plus an Iced Earth t-shirt, and an acoustic guitar as well. So not in the next couple of months :(

I can't believe you didn't hear of King Diamond! I don't like them, but they were popular back in the day. You'd probably like that!

What about PunkRock? SexPistols-Ramones, for the English.~The Accused or Misfits or Method of Destruction, or C.O.C. for Americans?
any fans there?

What about crazy music like 311, Red Hot Chili Peppers, or Sublime for anyone who listened to music since 1990?

And does anyone like Classical music???

PS: Jeez, I guess I just like everything, a cliche-thing or something! But theres tons of music to listen to, alot. I'm in a music store daytimes, and that's all I ever hear! (Music!) Customers there can come in and just plug-in and play whatever! Guitars, CD's, keyboards, U-name-it!
Alright then.......

[Sador]

I still like Echo and the Bunnymen, Hunters & Collectors, Models and the hoodoo gurus.
The old Velvet underground still get a spin now and then.

[greypilgrim]

Craig: King Diamond was the lead singer for a band called Mercyful Fate. He quit the band and formed another band called KING DIAMOND! How stupid! Anywho...the MUSIC they made was cool...King Diamond wore freaky make-up, and his microphone stand was a bone, with a skull at the top. He started to sing like an opera singer-soprano! He was a wierdo!

DUDES! WOODSTOCK 2003! GO! GO! GO!~if it happens, that is.

Sador..BobMarley!Yah! The clash is allright..what other kindof 80's music do you listen to?

EVERYBODY: Listen to Sheena Easton's >"Sugar Walls"<.......it is probably the best song from the 80's!:D If you listen to it, you'll know why I think this!;) OK, I'm sick...But I definately feel an 80's revolution coming on, who's with me?

Outcast song: Gimme the Car, Violent Femmes! :rolleyes:

Dudes, who's been to Lollapalooza? It came here, I didn't go....That will not happen again!

Simple Minds....YES!
Stone Roses....never heard of.
TISM..what's it stand for?
Billy Bragg...never heard of him. Or is it them?
What was Austrailia's music like in the 80's? Name something.

OK- I want to start an 80's music revolution. Is it agreeable that some of the best music with any kind of beat to it CAME FROM the 80's music-type genre?
I'm thinking of that song from Ferris Beuller's Day Off.....

"Ohhhh......yeah. Beautiful. Ohhhhh....yeah!..... More beautiful!.....chi-chi-chi-ka! I don't know the name or the band.
All I have to say about the revolution is..It may be going on world wide soon, because I started it here, remember this...

The funniest, most extreme, fun to listen to-nod your head to-if you're-wierd-and-old, music with a beat, recorded after the 1970's, came from out of the 1980's....Whos with me in the revolution or whatever! It's got to be remembered at least!:eek:

[Sador]

TISM stands for : This Is Serious Mum. They are a band from Melbourne who wear masks to coceal their Identities. Some of their songs that you've never heard of include; Morrison Hostel, Amway Amway Amway Death Death Death, (he'll never be an old man) River, Leo's Toltoy.

The song from Ferris Beuller is "Oh Yeah", the band is called Yello.
Billy Bragg is a singer/songwriter from England with a great big chip on his left-wing shoulder.
Aussie music in the eighties was just like every where else Big drums synth and bass.
Bands you might have heard of; Midnight Oil, INXS, Crowded House.

BIG DRUMS! SYNTH! BASS! GUITARS! ALL USED HEAVILY IN THE 80's!! Even by Phil Collins.
I like that one song from Midnight Oil...can't remember! Theyr'e going somwhere and something's on fire..
Reminds me of the Talking Heads.. "Psycho Killer"
"I can't sleep 'cause my beds on FY_ER...Don't touch me I'm a real live WY_ER! Fa fa fa fa!! Fa fa fa fa fa fa !! Better...run run run run run run run awayyyyyyy! Oh ho ho ho!...Psycho Killer! ......
EVERYTHING BY THE TALKING HEADS IS AN OUTCAST SONG< SAME WITH THE BAND VIOLENT FEMMES!
I love 80's music now, maybe next...Oldies! Nah! Metallica songs...

[Sador]

MMMM Talking Heads...
What about New Order? Human League? Duran Duran?
What about David Byrne and Brian Eno's "My Life in the bush of ghosts"?
Snake Finger? Shriekback? Kissing the pink? Psychedelic Furs? Siouxsie and the Banshees? Tears for Fears?

[greypilgrim]

GOOD BANDS SADOR! Shriekback? Kissing the Pink? I like the sound of those bands...I'll have to check them out!

Dudes, I am looking at 4 CD's, filled with my favorite 80's music. I just copied them this weekend. Over 5 whole hours of my own "Ultimate 80's" mix!
My fav. bands (that I could think of so far) are in that collection.

I've started to sing the songs in a Kareoke bar!

The Limlit Lounge in the Guild of Periaur! My insane revolution started there last Sunday night. It's going on there...and here too!

I'm singing DEVO there this week, they are from CLEVELAND!
So am I.:) :) Cleveland birthed many famous bands! I think Paul MC. moved here and formed the band WINGS!

I know somebody has heard Devo's rubbish...
"I'm on a Mexican~whoa oh~radio!".........."Crack that whip!"..... and so on and so on...they were more punk-ish than the Talking Heads.

[Sador]

Mexican Radio was by Wall of Voodoo.
Shriekback's best dance single was called" My spine is the bassline" (just my opinion)
I have Devo's first three albums and I always thought they were from Akron, like the B52's.
Kissing the pink were a UK band who had to call themselves KTP in the states because everyone thought their full name sounded too rude! It is really just a snooker term(which completely by accident sounds a bit smutty). Sounds reasonable to me.

[greypilgrim]

Cleveland-Akron is close connection. Never heard Wall of Voodo. Just Devo's version only. Alot of cool bands came out the Cleveland area...
Bone, Marilyn Manson (that dude), Trent Reznor/NineInchNails, Minddscape, Filter, Linus, LilBowWow is from Canton.

*dons stone-washed denim jeans* Go the GoP and sing something 80's dude! It's addicting! I've got plenty of remixes to listen to there!
SeeYallLater, I'llBeThere.:cool:

[greypilgrim]

Mindscape: A band I partied with a few months ago, they will be the catalyst for the metal/hard rock aspect of the world-wide 80's comeback, headquartered in Cleveland OH. They just got signed, they might even be found in stores in the "Land Down Under" soon!(a cool tune by the men at work)

[Sador]

Gotta go now Mr Pilgrim. Good luck with the Eighties world Revolution thing. And I think you will find that Devo never did a version of Mexican Radio.
BTW did you know that Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh from Devo also do the music for "Rugrats"?
P.S. There may be some Aussies who think that "Down Under" by Men At Work was a cool song, but I haven't met any.:D

[greypilgrim]

Dude, I'm listening to DEVO's "Mexican Radio" at work right now! They did a funny version of it (sounds like DEVO!)
The revolution is a total joke, of course.;)

Just for fun of course!

[Wolfshead]

Great piece of news that will probably only mean anything to me, and maybe Rockie, but Iced Earth are going into the studio for their new album in April! Woo hoo! New album late August/September :D

http://www.metaluk.com/index.cfm/FuseAction/newnews.viewarticle/NewsID/1242.htm

[Frodorocks]

Yay for Iced Earth! The first heavy metal band I ever listened to.:D Yay for Hard Rock and Heavy metal, the best kinds of music! :D

[Wolfshead]

Seeing as we all seem to have strange tastes in music, it would be a highly logical to visit this great new thread in S & B. There we can try and convert impressionable kids into our Metal ways :D Or anything to get them away from commericialism!

http://www.thetolkienforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10251

[Sador]

Does anyone remember a band called The Cramps?
They had a great song called Goo Goo Muck. Possible theme-song?

[Dragon]

its good not to be mainstream, but if you change ALL the impressionable kids to our music, then people will see that everyone likes our music and start advertising that, and our music will be commercialized.......you can't do that to good music.....:mad: :mad: :D

[Sador]

The music won't change, only the size of the audience.
This happens all the time. Remember when Nirvana were sooo raucous and punk? Listen to "Smells like teen spirit" now and what you hear is a melodic pop song. Same with the Sex Pistols and other artists all the way back to Elvis and probably beyond.

[Wolfshead]

However, it would be more difficult to commericialise good metal because the bands aren't (usually) in it for the money, so while they have lots of success (Iron Maiden, for example) the music will still stay quality.

I've heard that Iced Earth are beginning to become mainstream in America due to being so popular. In itself this is not necessarily a bad thing. So long as they don't sell out, more popularity for metal can only be a good thing :)

[Dragon]

*is thinking*

...........ummmm maybe you're right, but until I understand completely, I'm just going to say that I'm right.....just let me think about it, ok?

*goes back to thinking*

[greypilgrim]

History repeats itself.;)

But there will never be another Elvis Presley...thank God!;)

Sador-->I used to listen to the Cramps in study hall----circa 1988!

Craig-->If you want the newbies to remember the real world of music (as I refer to anything made before 1994)...then come "sing" your favorite songs in the Limlight! (GoP)...we're throwing a crazy--->everlasting-concert for everyone!--(not gonna be-all-1980's music, that was just for my revolution!)...even old geezers like us can still rock the house!
(PS: How's the Iron Maiden album, "X-Factor? I heard it was good)
;)

Dragon: I want my favorite old music to be heard by many--->just imagine how my (younger) co-workers react to what I play in the audio dept.! They hear Sacred Reich and then the next CD I play has "Shock the Monkey" by Peter gabriel on it!

heheheh....:D I never stop...

[greypilgrim]

I perfected the art. ...way way back.

All I want to ask is...What the...? ...when I see these kids nowadays... trying to copy what is now (almost) a forgotten (science) pasttime.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------->
In 2003, moshing is "dangerous".
---------------------------------------------------------------------------->

Any ideas why on why dancing is labeled "insane" and "violent" nowadays? (Usually by older-parent-type-people).................
These kids look like Steve Erkel out there! Jeez
:rolleyes: That's just my opinion though.

[Dragon]

because they take the people that dance the worst, or with the worst taste, and label them as the average teenager and say that every other teenager in the world dances like that.....blegh

;) Aye, I would, but GoP is for older people isn't it? Or am I getting confused?

X-Factor's alright, they've got Blaze so obviously not as good as Bruce era, but nevertheless, good.

Re moshing & dancing: The trick is just not to dance, period :)

Everywhere by
Fleetwood Mac

Can you hear me calling
Out your name
You know that I'm falling
And I don't know what to say

I'll speak a little louder
I'll even shout
You know that I'm pround
And I can't get the words out

Oh I...
I want to be with you everywhere
Oh I...
I want to be with you everywhere
(Wanna be with you everywhere)

Something's happening
Happening to me
My friends say I'm acting peculiarly

C'mon baby
We better make a start
You better make it soon
Before you break my heart

Oh I...
I want to be with you everywhere
Oh I...
I want to be with you everywhere
(Wanna be with you everywhere)

Can you hear me calling
Out your name
You know that I'm falling
And I don't know what to say

Come along baby
We better make a start
You better make it soon
Before you break my heart

Oh I...
I want to be with you everywhere
Oh I...
I want to be with you everywhere
Oh I...
I want to be with you everywhere
Oh I...
I want to be with you everywhere
(Wanna be with you everywhere)

my current favourite old song ;)

[Turin]

Oh yeah forgot about Staind, one of my favorites.

[Rhiannon]

Mary Black (Irish modern folk)
Loreena McKinnet (Celtic revivalist)
Enya (Celtic revivalist)
Linda Eder (Broadway, big band)
Styx (80s rock ballads)
Simon & Garfunkel (70s folkish)
the Beatles

I really like 80s rock, but I find I really prefer female vocalists- so, does anyone know any good female rock groups? I'm completely out of touch with the music world.

Are there really people who don't know who Enya and Simon & Garfunkel are???:confused:

And anyway, do you know Evanescence? I don't know if it's really a female group, but the singer is a woman:D . Mmm, I know I speak of them all the time, but I'm a huge fan of the lyrics.:)

Does someone know if the composer who did The Pirates of the Carribean soundtrack (I love it) did anything else?

[Rhiannon]

Are there really people who don't know who Enya and Simon & Garfunkel are???

Sad, isn't it?

I know my best friend loves Evanescence, but she lives far away and therefore I can't borrow her CDs. I'm considering springing for one anyway, though, since I've heard nothing but positive.

[Kailita]

Evanescence kind of depends on your taste. Musically, I think they're beautiful. The lyrics are very dark and introspective and have been slammed by some people as depressing and unhealthy, but personally, I like them a lot. They're well thought out and honest. It all comes down to your taste in music.

I like most of the bands mentioned up there, but I'm too lazy to go through and pick them all out, so I'll just smile and nod. :)

[Talierin]

Re: Pirates of the Caribbean guy... he did the Time Machine (it's pretty good), that I know of.

The thing about PotC's soundtrack though is that it was overseen by Hans Zimmer, so I don't know how much of it is Klaus Badelt's. Hans Zimmer did the Gladiator soundtrack, which is excellent.

[YayGollum]

There ya go. I combined it with the same subject that was made once before. Have fun. Look at what you wrote before if you did. :rolleyes:

I'm sure that I heard a theme in Gladiator that exactly the same as in Pirates...

[Talierin]

Prolly did, now that I think about it they're very similar... one's just a little more "piratey"

That's one thing that bothers me about soundtracks, there's never much originality in them. Sure, Star Wars anybody recognizes right off, but stuff like Gladiator?

[My_Precious]

Yaygollum with moderator powers? That's one scary thought...:rolleyes:
I used to like Enya untill those Academy Awards where she performed the song from the Lord of the Rings soundtrack (can't remember the title), and she actually did not sound that great as she usually does on her CDs. I guess I got a bit disappointed.
:(

Even John Williams puts a little Star Wars and E.T. and Indiana Jones in Harry Potter... Doesn't stop me listening to his music, though... :)

[Talierin]

Heheh, yeah, just saying that there's not too many original sounding soundtracks anymore.

And as for Enya, I think she sounded like **** too, but a lot of that prolly was that when she does her music, she layers around 40 background vocals of herself singing to get that "airy" feel to it.... so with just one vocal, it isn't going to sound as good... I saw her on larry king live once, and she had backup singers with her, and it sounded so much better then at the oscars.

[MaidenofLorien]

Black sabbith rocks! my best friend, Stacie, has Ozzy in concert DVD and it is awsome! It has Jack Kelly and Amiee (sp???) in it when they were like 4 and 5!

i like incubus, evanescence, and pretty much all 80's music

[Kailita]

Incubus...Evanescence...very nice. :D The 80's is where I differ from you. ;) I just can't take the overload from the synthesizer. Or hairbands. :o

[Talierin]

heh, Incubus, hmm...... yeah, don't mind me..... *knows something you don't but can't say*

[Dragon]

....yeah well.... heh, I remember I said this 2 sum1 once

"anyones voice can be made to sound good when synthesized enough"

I don't remeber y I said that, but I did....
