Favorite music

[morning star]

Does anybody here like the song A Thousand Miles, by Venessa Carlson?
I love that song.

It is just so awesome, as are most songs by Eminem.

(Hmmm... I wonder how many people will disagree with me on this one?)


Somehow, I disagree. Of course, you thought I would.

Has anyone heard of Blindside?

[Wonko The Sane]

I like that song, and I respect and admire Vanessa Carlton's ability to write piano music, but strictly speaking she's not a good singer.
She's awful live.

[legoman]

OK, but 1,000 miles is really good. Think of Neil Young, can't sing for toffee but one of the best songerwriters of the 20th Century! And Bob Dylans pushing it a bit on the singing front.

[Wonko The Sane]

I like her music a lot. I like 1,000 miles, and I like Ordinary Day. I enjoy her music and her piano stuff is amazing.
I respect her immensely as a songwriter. Her singing's pants live, but not too bad after being doctored in a recording studio.
I like Vanessa Carlton all in all.

I have their new CD Silence. I think it is extremely good. Listened to there older CD...Can't think of the name of it right now...Its not nearly as good as their current one is, the lead singer screamed way too much in the old one. Almost went to see them with Hoobastank and Greenwheel, but I didn't. I should have, but I have already seen Hooba and Greenwheel, and would have been a 5 hour drive on a school night.

Next must see concert for me is the Distrubed/Stone Sour/Chevelle concert in December, Finals week be damned!:D

[Wonko The Sane]

Stone Sour and Disturbed are playing with Korn up here in Seattle.
I've been trying to win tickets to that show. Stone Sour is a lot heavier than I like, but Korn has some good stuff and I've never seen them live.

[Thorondor]

That would be a great concert! I was going to see Korn and Trust Company on Thanksgivings Eve, but Korn cancelled the show...:mad: Now I am going to take the money I was going to spend on that show and go see the Stone Sour, Disturbed, Chevelle concert on December 20th. I hope I don't have any tests that day!:D

[Wonko The Sane]

Chevelle will be on Loveline the radio program tonight! ;)
Or tomorrow night if you live East of the Mississippi!

Yes, I like the Silence cd. I've only heard one song on their old one, but I didn't like it.

[Sam_Gamgee]

Noise Ratchet
The used
Rufio (probably)
Simple Plan
Counterfit
Get Up Kids (probably)
Slick Shoes
Finch
Relient K
The anniversary
The Casket Lottery
Pinback

Yeah, I listened through the whole thing, and I only liked one or two songs, and they were in Swedish, so I had no Idea what they were saying...

[Muffinly]

HA! Swedish! I didn't know they sang any songs in Swedish, But they wrote their thanks in Swedish.


And Sam Gamgee:
Yes I know who Relient K and Slick shoes are. I haven't listened to Relient K very much since i discovered Dogwood. Same for Slick Shoes.

[darkangelrinoa]

Mm..hey! Have all you seen Queen of the Damned? I think the soundtrack on that is awesome!!
starts singing...
"you see i cannot be forsaken, because i'm not the only one, we walk amongst you feeding raping, why must we hide from everyone..."
at least i think i got the words right!
Oh yeah! And IRIS by the goo goo dolls is the bestest song in the world!!!!!!!:D

Oh, try and go to the leicester gig, I'll be there, and hopefully so will tookish if she's not too jet lagged!

[7doubles]

has anyone listened to "Morgoth or Flotsam and Jetsam." great metal bands.

[Wonko The Sane]

Just bought the David Gray CD and it's awesome...

Makes me cry though. ;)

[Frodorocks]

I love Iris by the goo goo dolls. Of course, I like everything by the goo goo dolls. Have you heard that new one by the one guy in the band. (Sorry I don't know anything about music, I just listen to it.:D )

[Wonko The Sane]

John Reznik? Is that his name?

[Frodorocks]

Yeah, that's it!:D

[Wonko The Sane]

So what ABOUT his new song?

[TheFool]

Anyone else like this album cover (http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B000067FFJ.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg) ? :D

There's 27 people in the reindeer section! Are they the 'So-Solid' of indie?

! just heard a few tracks, gonna buy it soon.

[Wonko The Sane]

hehe...that's HILARIOUS!!!

And the thing about reindeer...SOO random! Is their music any good?

[TheFool]

I'm sure he's a caring, compassionate parent!

It says on a review the members are from bands like Belle & Sebastien, Mogwai, Idlewild, Snow Patrol (the frontman), teenage fanclub and others.. the tracks I've heard are like indie-rock-emo-lo-fi-acoustic, full bands or solo stuff, though with B & S members there's bound to be a few nicely weird/melancholy bits. Myself, I found it instantly likeable stuff

[Wonko The Sane]

Sounds like my kinda music! I'll have to check it out!

[7doubles]

i'v been listening to faith no more lately, their a riot!

[Legolam]

Belle & Sebastien, Mogwai, Idlewild, Snow Patrol They're all Scottish bands aren't they? I'll defnitely check it out, sounds good! :)

[Retrovertigo]

Go Faith No More! :D

[Wolfshead]

Looks like I got you back on TTF, Elwood :p Faith No More are alright, I was a big fan for a while a couple of years ago. Now I just think they're really quite strange. And Mike Patton's other stuff (Mr Bungle and Fantomas) is just down right ludicrous!

*Waits for a torrent of abuse from Mike Patton fans*

[Retrovertigo]

Nah, I just got my modem back today after a few weeks offline. And thats funny, I always thought FNM were quite linear. Now if you want down right ludicrous listen to Adult Themes for Voice.. or jazz.

[Frodorocks]

have you heard that one new song, Lifestyles of the rich and famous, or something like that, by Good Charlotte? It reminds me of Blink 182 so I like it.:)

[Muffinly]

HA! I just heard the happiest band! They're called Flogging Molly.
An Irish Band. They do Old Pub songs to Harder music, but it's great!

[TheFool]

Just got it, yeah its a good album, most of 'em are Scottish, but mostly the irish Snow Patrol guy as the lead singer (it seems to be his 'pet project'). There's a great little bit with a 'rogue' mobile phone as well..!

Flogging molly rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and frodorocks: boys and girls is thier best song of thier new CD if you ask me....




Taking Back Sunday anyone????????

[Húrin Thalion]

I'd have to say that Looptroop is the best. If you ain't heard them, you ain't a head!

E

[Frodorocks]

I don't think I've ever heard boys and girls. :) But I'll take your word for it.

[Azog]

Blindside Rocks!!!

[Muffinly]

[Eliot]

I really enjoy classical music. It's just so soothing and slow. It's awesome.

[Wonko The Sane]

I do as well.
I listen to it when I'm driving and when I'm doing homework...
And when I was stressed at Notre Dame I always put on Beethoven.
:)

[Frodorocks]

I don't like classical music very much. The only instrumental music I listen to is off of the LotR soundtrack. What are your favorites off of it? Mine are concerning hobbits, Aniron, and may it be.:)

[Wonko The Sane]

I don't HAVE the LotR soundtrack.

My fave Beethoven though is Pathetique.

[Eliot]

I actually know hardly any names of classical composers or their music :D
I still really enjoy it though.

My favorite LOTR songs are "Concerning Hobbits", "The Bridge of Khazad-Dum", "The Breaking of the Fellowship, and "May it be".
The whole CD is cool. :cool:

[Lossengondiel]

majorly i'm a big linkin park fan. those guys rock and their music is awesome. as for TLOTR soundtrack, i prefer "Aniron" (part of the Council of elrond), The bridge of Khazad Dum, and May it Be. I hope the next soundtrack is as good as the first.


~~~Strider 4 ever

I have Beethoven's 5th by Joe Satriani. It's pretty cool.

[Frodorocks]

I'm trying to memorize all of the Elvish songs in the soundtrack and their translations. I like Linkin Park too. I really like the remix to In the End.:D

[Valar]

Wow............wow. I just saw the Foo Fighters's live in cardiff areana. And i was amazed, they are so so amazing live, they had such a presences. Did all the greats as well, not just the new album, Everlong, monkey rench, the one. But they opened with One by one, which was great, they had all the lyrics as a curtain surrounding them, then after 8 bars, when the quiet bit stops it drop, and everyone went crazy. I was on the rail at the front for nearly the whole thing apart from one break, i swear i felt Grohl's spit on me when he sang! If anyone gets the chance see then, they are unreal, Taylor absoutly played his heart out to, with such wicked drum licks, ah i could go just had to say WOW!

[Ecthelion]

WEEZER IS THE BEST BAND EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!=w=

I do believe that is an incorrect statement :p The best band ever are clearly Iron Maiden. But now I will get hit and told that everyone each has differing opinions. But who thinks people will still be listening to Weezer is 15 years time? Exactly.

[legoman]

Well Craig does have a point here as maiden do in fct rock, but sacktrick are THE best band ever and to prove it when Bruce Dickinson does his solo tours who does he get to play as his backing band, yes that would be Chris dale and co from sacktrick! Thus proving the fact that evryone knew, that sacktrick are the best band in the world.

I will still be listening to Weezer in 15 years time. Hopefully they(and the rest of the bands I like) will still be putting out good music at that time...I don't want to end up thinking of my music as "back in my day we listened Good music, not like that new **** you young'ns listen to now..."

Sadly I know that it won't happen like that, and someday I will say:
"I used to know what it was, but then they changed what the meaning of it is, and now what is it is strange and frightening to me"

[Wonko The Sane]

Hmmmm....yeah.

I have a two CD set of Beethoven stuff. It's got his piano pieces on one and his orchestral pieces on the other.
I usually only listen to the piano one cos it's got my faves! The Moonlight Sonata, Fur Elise, and Pathetique.
Yum!

[Ice Man]

I won't re-read this thread, any Led Zeppelin fans in here?

[Wolfshead]

Led Zep are a bit old for me, I've only really heard Kashmir. There's a convo on Led Zep a couple of pages back here.

[Glamdring]

YES! a music page. And I love Led Zeppelin. They were quite a while before my time but I just started listening to them a few months ago. What an amazing band. Right now I'm listening to:

The Beatles
Pink Floyd
TOOL
Nirvana
The Strokes
The White Stripes
Jimi Hendrix
The Vines
The Black Keys
Led Zeppelin

If any one wants to talk about any of these bands or any other cool bands PM me. I love talking about music.

However, if you think any of the following bands have any talent, then I feel sorry for you. (this is my opinion, and if it offends you, then music is not your thing)

Linkin Park
Limp Bizkit
Nickleback
Creed (quite possibly the worst band of all time)
Any 80's hair band power ballad ****
and everything on MTV and VH1

[Ecthelion]

HAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!'




The Vines are always on MTV, so are The White Stripes:)

[Glamdring]

I gave up on MTV a while ago, but every now and then they play that new Nirvana video or the strokes or the White Stripes, but all they play is their mainstream radio hits which are always their worst songs anyway.
MTV is basically boy bands, bubble-gum whores, and boy band rock (linkin park, lifehouse)


TOOL is the greatest band ever. (well at least since Zeppelin)

[legoman]

Sorry glam I have to disagree with you there, you named some class bands and 'the white stripes' but you can't say that limp bizkit were rubbish - I'm not a fan but Wes Borland -the ex guitarist is amazing!!

[Wolfshead]

The Legoman is absolutely right on this one. Wes Borland is amazingly talented and he has such a commanding stage presence! I hate Fred Durst, and I wasn't a big fan of their music, but I've always been a fan of Wes!

Plus when he bothers to take out those evil black contacts he's got really pretty eyes...and he's so hot.

I like Some of Creed's music, actually i like their lyrics to the songs of theirs I like, more than anything else. I cannot stand 80's music, Ick!!!! I don't like anybody else on that list either.

[Glamdring]

Yeah, I agree with you guys. Wes Borland is pretty good. But apparently, even he knew that Limp Bizkit sucks.

Oh yeah, I forgot one of my fav. bands: RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE
too bad they split up. Has anyone heard anything from the new band they formed with the guy from soundgarden?

[Wonko The Sane]

Duh..go Audioslave!

[Asha'man]

I've been listening a lot recently to The Indulgers, Dropkick Murphys, and Flogging Molly. First is Celtic rock (local band), DM is punk with an Irish twist, and FM is Irish trad with a punk twist. They're all really good - cool if you just want to hear something different.

My music tastes are kinda odd.....I like off-the-wall stuff, which is why I never listen to the radio anymore. Same old stale stuff that they were playing last year. :mad:

Current faves are:

Cherry Poppin' Daddies
Flogging Molly
The Indulgers
Dropkick Murphys
The Living End

Ash

[Legolam]

Chris Cornell is the guy from Soundgarden that RATM are doing some stuff with. I heard they were going to release some stuff soon, but that was a while ago, so I dunno. You should listen to some of Chris Cornell's solo stuff though, it's really good.

Chris Connel and RATM have formed Audioslave! They're album is already out, ive got it and its pretty good. Chris Connel has a great voice, but hes not like Zack, from the origanal RATM and i still prefere RATM. But Audioslave is a breath of fresh air at the moment, in a land full of pop-rock!

[Wonko The Sane]

I just wanted to let you all know that

THE LIVING END ROCKS!!!!

[Thorondor]

So anybody around here heard of Trapt? I just got their CD yesterday, and I like it a lot...

[spirit]

hello.
who is ur fave band or singer!

[Gandalf White]

*thinks of Nelly and begins to roll on the floor, trying not to vomit* :D ;)
I think you can discern my answer from my actions! Emin3m, P.O.D., KJ-52, and several songs from several bands.

[Halasían]

Its a Pink Floyd day! (http://www.allfloyd.com)

[7doubles]

my favorit is Dion DeMuci of dion and the bellmonts

[Wolfshead]

Well, I could give a long, long list. However I will limit it to Iron Maiden being my favourite band and my favourite singer being Bruce Dickinson of the aforementioned band. Or possibly Matthew Barlow of Iced Earth.

[Frodorocks]

No, it's too R&Bish-Popish for me. Nelly too. But if you like it, that's great, whatever peels your bananna.

[spirit]

haa haaa haaa
well what do you like?

[Frodorocks]

:D I like hard rock, heavy metal, and celtic music. Mostly people like Ra, Nirvana, Blindside, Iced Earth, Blind Guardian, and ElvenKing. Hey Craig, I looked for Heathenreel this weekend and couldn't find it!:mad: *growl*:D

[Wolfshead]

Damn, that's unfortunate, Rockie. I bought it a while ago of some company who have now merged with Amazon, so I'd look on www.amazon.com . If not there, take a trip down to www.elvenking.net . They've a shop you could buy it from.

[Ecthelion]

Because I've given up listening to Weezer for lent (along with candy) I have grown a liking for Chevelle who I will be seeing in a few weeks along with Disturbed and Taproot!

[Muffinly]

I chevelle too! a lot indeed. Great band.

[spirit]

never heard of this!:
chevelle

You gave up listening to Weezer for Lent and replaced it with Chevelle...? Umm...in my personal opinion, I would say Chevelle isn't much of a step up from Weezer. I mean, Weezer is more open about smoking and etc....but Chevelle seems like a very depressed, angry band to me. They need counseling...I want to counsel them some day when I get older. :D But, yes...I might be wrong...the only songs I've heard by them are The Red and another song that I can't remember the name of at the moment...but both radiated a very dark kind of feeling. I have to admit...I like Chevelle :D...but I don't think it'd be a good thing to be listening to during Lent.

[Wolfshead]

Hmm... Dark mainstream music? You ain't ever heard any decent dark metal then, have you? :rolleyes: :p ;)

[Thorondor]

Ohhhhh! Don't say stuff like that about Chevelle or Weezer or you will make my blood boil!

Chevelle seems like a very depressed, angry band to me. They need counseling...

Yes some of their music is dark, and some seems depressing, but listen to the music, listen to the lyrics and try to see where they are coming from. Not eveyone can be Britney Spears, Sunshine, and Lollypops!

the only songs I've heard by them are The Red and another song that I can't remember the name of at the moment. I don't think it'd be a good thing to be listening to during Lent.

If you do like them, go out and buy Wonder What's Next, and if you can Point #1. Listen to Grab Thy Hand, The Lonely Visitor, and An Evening with El Diablo. And on the not being good for listening to during lent, They are a (Psuedo)Christian Band!

And I agree with CraigSmith, Chevelle isn't that Dark or that heavy. No offense Kailitia, I just needed to vent.

nope. i dont really listen to metal music. i tried something my friend was listening to and i dont thing i will ever listen to that music ever again. it was calles somethinh like slipknot...?

[Kailita]

Sorry Thorondor...you seemed to get the impression that I was bashing on Weezer and Chevelle, and that's not how I meant to come across. Weezer is a little strange...not my favorite kind of music...but some of it is fun, and I'm certainly not going to rag on it. And, like I said, I likeChevelle. I am very drawn to dark, introspective music...though it's probably not the best thing for me to be filling my mind with. :o But as for Chevelle being a Christian band...even a pseudoChristian band...oh, I really doubt it. But if they are, they really aren't displaying it.

I love Something Like Silas, Sam. :) They came to a summer camp i went to last summer, and I bought two of their cds. They're great.

Slipknot?? Aiieee, now there's some people who definitely need counseling...

[Wolfshead]

Oh, God no, spirit, Slipknot is not even music :mad: They are, I suppose, classed as Nu-metal. However, Nu-metal really ought to be a branch off of pop or rock. At any rate, it's commerical.

The kind of music I'm talking about it decent metal, with meaningful lyrics and a complete lack of swearing (as you get in nu-metal). Bands like Iced Earth, Iron Maiden, Elvenking, Blind Guardian and so on.

Slipknot just vent anger, swear, scream, shout and just generally, make a lot of noise. While proper metal is loud and hard, it is intelligent, and that's the thing to remember. Slipknot and co just 'rebel against the system' and kids listen to them because of that. No, stay clear of such trash.

So, basically, don't judge the genre by bands like Slipknot, who are, frankly, rubbish.

[Halasían]

Today I heard Daddy O by Joyce Cooling... good stuff!

The members of chevelle say they are Christian in their interviews. I think they are, they just don't sing about God that much.
Grab Thy Hand says "God, how i long to grab thy hand and walk"
It sounds like a plea to God to me.

I've never seen chevelle as dark, but maybe sad or angry. That's all I must say for now.

[Wonko The Sane]

New band to add to my list:

The Smiths

No problem, I sometimes get touchy when others disagree on topics I feel I am informed on:rolleyes: Also on not seeing them as a Christian Band;

I'll just name some of my favourite bands:

Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
The Beatles
Cream

That's about all I can think of right now.

[spirit]

**How many times do I have to edit your posts, spirit?!?! Swearing is not allowed on this board, not even if you stick an asterisk in it! - Tal**

Easy listen, to the old skool metal, you know, maiden and priest etc, then you will learn to tell the cool metal from the rubbish, then get one of those kerrang compilations and you'll be able to tell instantly who is good and worth looking up.

Wow...very interesting. I didn't think they sung about that kind of thing. Of course, I suppose it's unfair for me to judge after hearing only two songs. Hmm...maybe I'll have to get that cd and decide for myself...;)

Top ten, ack! I bounce around my music a lot; I'll listen to the same album over and over again for a day or a week and then switch to another, so it's really hard to say. I'm going to make things easier on myself by cutting out Broadway soundtracks (though for the record by favorites of those include but are not limited to The Phantom of the Opera, The Scarlet Pimpernel, and Les Miserables)- so here we go;

The Best of Simon & Garfunkel (3 CD collection)
Vivaldi's The Four Seasons

The Best of Gordon Lightfoot
Loreena McKinnit's The Visit
The Rogues' Off Kilter

[legoman]

oooh, who's next: won't get fooled again!!!

one of the best songs ever!

[Lantarion]

Hmm, I don't think I've ever posted here!
Well, I really like Linkin Park and Disturbed, although the latter has almost solely negative/grim songs.. But the music is fabulous, and the lyrics are often great too (e.g. in 'Voices' or 'Fear').
I have listened somewhat to Avril Lavigne as well (*starts to edge away from the croud eying him evilly*), and I must say that althuogh she seems to be a drone of the music corporations, a few of her songs are very good.
Offspring as well, of course; golden oldies. :D
Ooh, and Rage Against the Mahcine! Woo!

That's it for now. (I suspect my music tastes will change inevitably, so updates are to follow).

Besides the inevitable Bach and Beethoven, I enjoy Vivaldi, Chopin, Handel, Haydn, and a bunch of others. ;)

[Rhiannon]

I love classical music- Bach and Vivaldi are my favorites.

[Wonko The Sane]

I love classical music too...but I love all kinds.

:) Right now I'm listening to this mix CD my friend made...full of The Cure and The Smiths. :) Yum.

And also this song by Poe:

Angry Johnny

Johnny, Angry Johnny, this is Jezebel in Hell
I wanna kill you, I wanna blow you...away

I can do it you gently
I can do it with an animal's grace
I can do it with precision
I can do it with gormet taste

Chorus:
But either way
Either (way), either way
I wanna kill you
I wanna blow you...
Away

I can do it to your mind
I can do it to your face
I can do it with integrity
I can do it with disgrace

Chorus

Johnny, Angry Johnny, this is Jezebel in Hell
Johnny, Angry Johnny, this is Jezebel in Hell

I can do it in a church
I can do it any time or place
I can do it like an angel
To quiet down your rage

Chorus

I can do it in the water
I can do on dry land
I can do it with instruments
I can do it with my own bare hands

But either way
Either way, you know where it stands
I wanna kill you
I wanna blow you...
Away

Johnny, Angry Johnny, this is Jezebel in Hell
Johnny, oh my Johnny

Where did your pleasure go
When the pain came through you
Where did your happiness go
This force is running you around now
Getting you down now
Where is your pleasure now Johnny
Where has your pleasure gone now

Johnny, Angry Johnny...



It's funny cos I like to call my friend who made the CD Angry Johnny.
Cos his name is John and he's angry.

[Rhiannon]

This weekend I got a CD of Mozart's The Magic Flute. Add opera to the list of music I love.

[Wonko The Sane]

Mozart's Pathetique...:( So sad.

And the album "Visitor" by "Onelinedrawing" :)

[Arebeth]

At the moment I love Evanescence, Wagner and Tchaïkovski. I'm still listening to Gangs of New York soundrack, too (I know it's a bit late but I just got it :) )

[Wonko The Sane]

I've just decided that two songs that will DEFINITELY be played at my wedding are "Wonderwall" by Oasis, and "Please Forgive Me" by David Gray.
And I'm thinking that the David Gray song is the one I want for my first dance. :)

[morning star]

I haven't posted on the Tolkien Forum since Jan. '03. LOL
But anyhow, some more of my fave bands are Chevelle, Creed, POD, Evanescence, and many more. Forgive me if I misspell something.

[Wolfshead]

Morning star, if you don't mind, I'll recommend you some music :D You say you're an Evanescence fan, so in that case, you'll like Nightwish. They're from Finland, and their basically Melodic Goth Metal. Kinda like Evanescene, but heavier, and the (female) vocalist is a trained opera singer! There're quite a few Nightwish fans here, who I'm sure will back me up :D

Anyway, go to www.nightwish.com , and you can download some mp3's by them. I'd recommend it :)

[celebdraug]

i have never heard of them.... something for me to checkout! thanks craigsmith!

[Wolfshead]

No problem, I'm always happy to bring the underground to the mainstream fans :D

[Arebeth]

I've just had a look a their site... It seems great! Thanks CraigSmith!

[Lantarion]

Nightwish is so excellent!! I used to have their song 'Away' on repeat for like hours. :D
And a friend of mine has actually met the lead singer, Tarja (the 'j' is pronounced as a 'y')! He says she is very nice.
And her voice is increidble, even if now and again you hear the FInnish accent in her english. But man, she can sing! And the lyrics are usually very inventive and beautiful.

[Thorondor]

wow...I haven't been in this thread for a while, looking back on the old posts is like going back in time:D

Well, my bands of the month would be Desaparecidos, The Faint, Thrice, and Calexico....;)

[Paul]

go PINK FLOYD!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Noldor_returned]

go PINK FLOYD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes! I have to agree with you there. Even though I prefer Korn's cover version. Some other bands I like are Gunners (Guns and Roses), Queen, Korn, Green Day, Slipknot, Mudvayne, Kiss, ACDC (greatest Aussie band ever), Flogging Molly, S.O.A.D. (Sytem of A Down) and Metallica. Oh yeah, and Franz Ferdinand plus Silverchair.

Does anyone else like this or something similar?

P.S: Enya isn't too bad.

P.P.S: I hate James Blunt and any R'n'B/Hip Hop. I hate it with such a passion that I would sacrifice my life to rid the world of the rubbish of it forever. Well, maybe not, but I can't stop thinking of really horrible deaths for all those people, plus Missy Higgins and Delta Goodrem. They will all DIE!!!

[Muffinly]

Right now I'm really into Peter Gabriel, Yes, The Fire Theft/Sunny Day Real Estate/Jeremy Enigk, Minus the Bear and mewithoutYou. And Chopin.

All terribly great stuff.

[Noldor_returned]

Looking through at who other people like, and I missed two awesome bands: Iron Maiden and Rage Against the Machine, who rock, literally. Then as for top 10 albums, I'd say:

Slipknot: Vol. 3 Subliminal Verses
Guns 'n' Roses: Greatest Hits
Green Day: International Superhits
System of A Down: Toxicity
Korn: Greatest Hits Vol. 1
Green Day: American Idiot
LotR Soundtrack: Fellowship of the Ring
LotR Soundtrack: Return of the King
Franz Ferdinand: Franz Ferdinand
Powderfinger: Fingerprints

[Lorien]

Right now, Amon Amarth (the band not the mountain:rolleyes: ), DragonForce, Trivium, Jack Johnson/James Blunt and Ministry of Sound's Clubbers Guide 2006.

P.S. Is Nightwish really underground anymore? They've broken past that stage I think 'cos all of a sudden everyone around me (my friends etc., not this site...:D) are like saying how Nightwish is this really *great* Goth band....As you can probably tell I'm not too much of a fan of theirs, I'll take Dimmu Borgir over them anyday.

[Noldor_returned]

Right now, Amon Amarth (the band not the mountain:rolleyes: ), DragonForce, Trivium, Jack Johnson/James Blunt and Ministry of Sound's Clubbers Guide 2006.

Grrr. James Blunt- imo one of the worst people to become a muso. His voice is annoying, his songs sound the same. I don't understand how people like him.

[Muffinly]

Grrr. James Blunt- imo one of the worst people to become a muso. His voice is annoying, his songs sound the same. I don't understand how people like him.
Realistically, I would say that about Korn and System of a Down as well. But thankfully, everyone likes it a bit different.

[Noldor_returned]

Have you ever heard Korn's song Twist? You can't say that sounds like any of their others. Or Y'all want a single. They sound nothing like their other songs. I could add some more, but I think I've proven my point.

[Lorien]

I used to think that artists like Blunt and Co. were like weak and couldn't play to save their lives but off late I've found that they're pretty cool in their own way. Of course everyone's entitled to their likings and opinions. IMO the only thing good about Slipknot is Jordison, everyone else in that band are just subpar or just about even in their respective instruments. And don't even get me started on Korn. People tell me that Jordison is the greatest and all but the plain and simple fact is that eventhough he's like really really fast and does all kinds of insane stunts with his kit, he's never been voted #1 by any drummer mag, the usual top three of the metal category being Tomas Haake, Danny Carey and Flo Mournier. Korn is like supposed to be this genre defying band but most of their stuff is just soooo repetitive, although in the beginning when Head and Munky did all those FX using the guitar it was cool, but now everyone does that ( and guys like Morello and Einziger do it better) so its not special any longer. However I don't want them dead....:p The people who should die are most hip/hop artists and all them wuss pop people.

[Noldor_returned]

Here here. But about Jordison, I was thinking a while back about who would make up the best band (of living, still playing in a band), and I put him as drums, but the other positions are so hard to fill. Any ideas? I'm thinking 2 guitarists, a bass, a singer and maybe a keyboard player, although that's kinda wussy.

[Lorien]

If you insist on having Jordison as a drummer that means the band's gonna have a thrash/nu-metal outlook on it, or maybe speed, I don't see any power metal coming into play, 'cos of the way Jordison's kit is usually tuned down low.

Guitars- Kerry King (Slayer)/Adam Jones(tool)/Dave Mustaine/Matt Heafy(Trivium)/Rob Flynn(Machinehead)/Mikael Akerfeldt (or) Peter Lindgren (Opeth)

Bass- Flea(he can play just about anything)/Rex(pantera)/Ellison (Ex-Megadeth)

Vox- MJK(tool)/Phil Anselmo(pantera)/King Diamond/Mikael Akerfeldt/Max Cavalera/ Mustaine.

My own band would probably have:

Danny Carey/Tomas Haake (drums); Akerfeldt/Lindgren (they're like this combo you really shouldn't mess with); Adam Jones/ Fredrik Thordendal (meshuggah); Rex/Justin Chancellor/Flea. MJK for vox, and the others all sing anyway so...(obviously a few of these guys won't make it into a blues rock band....;), so I guess the list is gonna vary for different styles of music.

[Noldor_returned]

You could always fiddle with his drums to change the style. But out of those others you suggested maybe King and Flynn for Guitar, but I've never heard much by them and their bands.

[Lorien]

IMO I never really got into either band and King and Flynn wouldn't be my choices in a all-time metal band; I'd rather prefer someone who didn't just hit random notes really fast and be considered great (King) and I just don't like Rob Flynn's style much, but as I said if you want Jordison then their sounds kinda match (not King's as much but I think Flynn and Jordison would fit). I'd rather just have a more talented progressive/evolving type of band which IMO Slayer, Machinehead and Slipknot aren't. That's why I stick with Tool, Meshuggah and Opeth.

Anyway's I've got Pearl Jam's new album and its amazing. Very political too (although I'm not discussing that here). I also managed to catch a few songs of Godsmack's new album (IV i think is the title? I'm not sure) and they're alright, but they're beginning to sound kinda repetitive. My favorite music right now though has to be DragonForce, amazing playing, its like listening to two Petrucci's/Vai's at the same time!!

[Aiwendil2]

I was thinking a while back about who would make up the best band (of living, still playing in a band),

Although my musical tastes are probably entirely different from yours, this did get me thinking. My choices using only living (and playing) musicians would be:

Rhythm guitar - Pete Townshend (The Who)
Lead guitar - Jan Akkerman (Focus)
Bass - Paul McCartney (The Beatles)
Keyboards - Gary Brooker (Procol Harum)
Drums - Ginger Baker (Cream)

If I were to use living and dead musicians, it'd be:

Rhythm guitar - John Lennon
Lead Guitar - Jimi Hendrix
Bass - Paul McCartney
Keyboard - Gary Brooker
Drums - Keith Moon

[Lorien]

Hmm, I'd probably replace Paul for John Paul Jones (Led Zep), Lennon for Jimmy Page (also Led Zep), Ray Manzarek (the Doors) instead of Brooker and Mitch Mitchell for the drums. They are all alive I think...and if I can't have Hendrix I'd put in Jeff Beck.

[Noldor_returned]

Well my musical knowledge isn't as developed as yours, so I don't know who half of these people are. I also meant that I wanted musicians still in the music career, and still play in a band or solo. However, I doubt there will ever be an agreement on the best band ever, although I think Jimi Hendrix would be a good addition to the best band of all time.

[Lorien]

Yeah I think they're all alive and playing, except for Mitchell (is he dead btw? I don't have any idea about him...) Well yeah, Hendrix would have to be in any best of all time band as long as it didnt play metal...:D Can you imagine Jordison, Phil Anselmo, Tom Araya and Jimi Hendrix in a band....:eek: That'd be some serious shock value...

[Aiwendil2]

I believe Mitch Mitchell is still alive.

Good choices, Lorien. A band with both Jimmy Page and Jimmy Hendrix would be very interesting indeed! Certainly in terms of the raw sound of the group, replacing Lennon and McCartney with Page and John Paul Jones would be wise (although another substitution I might try would be Clapton instead of Page and/or John Entwistle instead of Jones).

However, if we're considering a band that would be writing its own music, I'd definitely stay with Lennon and McCartney.

[Noldor_returned]

It's always good when a band does write its own songs, but I think if someone was employed to write songs for them, it would be better. So someone like Bob Dylan or Lennon/McCartney would be a good selection for that, IMO.

[Muffinly]

Combining all the great creative minds in music would only result in musical conflict and the finished product would probably be worse than any one of them alone.

[Lorien]

Ah, but you seem to be forgetting that most of those guys (Hendrix and Co.) era were very chummy with each other...Page/Clapton/Beck played together in The Yardbirds for a short time before Page formed Zeppelin. And if I'm not mistaken the first time Hendrix was noticed in the UK was when he jammed with Clapton's band before a concert of theirs and Beck was also present.
As long as all the guys in the band want to make the same kind of music, I feel it can get only better the more talent you have in the band. That's why you wouldn't put someone like Hendrix or Clapton in a band with a metal outlook. Bands within a particular genre tend to gravitate to each other, thats why you can find so many concerts of Pantera having guys of Slayer and Metallica sitting in and why there are videos of Hendrix/Page/Clapton etc. jamming together.
Oh and btw, prime example of a supergroup thats still alive....Audioslave!!

[Noldor_returned]

Yeah, I've got some of their stuff and it's pretty good. There aren't many others (supergroup) who have succeeded as well as they have. Band Aid is probably the closest.

[Lorien]

Band Aid? As is all those rock dude and dudettes who get together for like some 'good' thing yeah? I don't think they classify as a band man...they're like just tolerating each other so that they can do their bit for charity or whatever...
Oh Noldor_returned...since you like Slipknot you should give Trivium a listen...they're kinda like Slipknot only a bit heavier, and they have better guitar players. And according to some random article I read on the net, at the last Ozzfest, there was a competition to see who had the 'fastest' drumming feet and the Trivium drummer supposedly won (over Jordison!) I mean I know that sounds a little crazy, 'cos undoubtedly in my head anyway, Jordison's the fastest unless you start rolling out the death metal drummers and guys like Portnoy,Haake, Carrey and Co., but this Trivium guy (who's like only 22 or something!!!) beat all of the guys there including Jordison:eek:

[Noldor_returned]

Okay, I'll remember that. But Audioslave isn't really a superband. All it really is RATM with a different singer. I don't think that counts.

[Hammersmith]

Jordison's the fastest unless you start rolling out the death metal drummers and guys like Portnoy,Haake, Carrey and Co.,
Portnoy and Carey aren't 'faster', they're just better. The number of times you can pound a snare in a given minute does not equate with your skill.

[Lorien]

I never said anything about how many time Jordison can hit the snare in a few seconds....I don't even like his style as a matter of fact. And I *know* that Portnoy and Carey are *better* than him, Mitch Mitchell is better than him! But being better doesn't mean you can't be faster than anyone else, Carey and Portnoy are faster than Jordison, they are also better, no doubts there. I was merely comparing Jordison with guys of his genre or style. Like he is faster than Travis Barker (Blink 182), and just about any other like drummer you can name. I wanted to say that Jordison is fast and talented (you can't possibly not agree to that no matter how much you might hate his drumming), but he is fast only if you don't put him up against guys like Flo Mournier (Cryptopsy i think...) or Amon Amarth's drummer or Haake, Carey, Portnoy.
P.S. A supergroup is any group that has recognized/popular members from more than 1 previous group. And Audioslave doesn't sound anything like RATM or Soundgarden, its a hybrid so its new.

[Noldor_returned]

Travis Barker is nothing like Jordison. If I ever hear you say that again I will scream:mad: Most punk is rubbish (except Green Day), and nothing like what Slipknot plays. And yes, I know you weren't saying that Barker is better, but what it seemed was you were saying they were the same genre.

But each to his own, I guess.

[Muffinly]

Instead of mixing bands and groups, I propose that we make super day-long fantasy concerts. Mine would look something like this:
