Are you happy now?

I gotta go with KMFDM on this one. That chick rocks.

I agree, but are the rest industrial or no? I'm always confused as to what bands define Industrial.

I'd say no on Tool and White Zombie. They're more hard rock. After Downward Spiral, NIN started to get a little too chippie, but I guess they would still technically qualify. The rest, nod, very industrial.

Thanks. Do you listen to this stuff?

It really depends on the song. They have some industrial stuff, but they also have some non-industrial music. And yes, Tool is certainly not industrial at all, though they do have some songs that could qualify, they as a band should not be considered to produce industrial music.

Thanks. Do you listen to this stuff?

Yep! Have since high school. :)

Cool. I only discovered it about four years ago. None of my friends listen to it. Luckily my musical tastes are varied enough to appreciate their music too.

Ministry have been at times, KMFDM I'd say yes, NIN used to be, Rammstein first and second albums maybe, Tool kinda went in that direction but I wouldn't go there, Marilyn Manson would be a no, White Zombie remix album of AstroCreep 2000 had the sound to it maybe.....


ANYONE REMEMBER SKINNY PUPPY OR FRONT 242!!!!

Which of these bands fall under the label industrial?
Ministry yes
KMFDM yes
Rammstein yes
Tool no
NIN yes
Marilyn Manson guess so
White Zombie no

That's my opinion.

ANYONE REMEMBER SKINNY PUPPY OR FRONT 242!!!!
Yes, why?

Yes, why?




Cuz that was some great stuff.

KMFDM definitly, my fave Industrial band.

Ministry, NIN and Rammstein... at times maybe. I like NIN and Minstry,

Marilyn Manson no. And I hate him. Awful teen 'goff' poseur singer.

Tool, no but I do love them.

And I don't know White Zombie.

And whoever mentioned Skinny Puppy, I like them too. Along with Throbbing Gristle.

I like Einstürzende Neubauten, a German industrial band. They're so industrial that they use factory equipment rather than real instruments!

Please stop spamming about Bohemian Rhapsody. It's not even the best Queen song.

Yay EN!


On an unrelated note...
Have you seen Industrial 101 (http://www.sonic-boom.com/industrial/)?
It's hilarious!

No, even tho I like EN I'm no hardcore industrial fan. My friend who has a fetish for all German music just recently lent me Strategies Against Architecture 80-83.

Just the name alone sounds pretty awesome.

The name of the band is awesome too. Einsturzende Neubauten translates as "New Buildings Collapsing". Or "Collapsing New Buildings", I don't know much about German sentence stucture.

Oh. I assumed you were, since not many people like EN. It's a bit...
Abrasive. Not many people enjoy that sort of stuff.
"Drawings of Patient O.T." is a good album too.

Grr, I can still hear it!
*turns on a bunch of power tools*
*improvises over them with guitar*
There, covers up Queen very nicely, and it all blends perfectly with the E.N.
:D

Syncs all three sets of Logitec Z680's on his Dorm floor and blasts Heaven and Hell by Black Sabbath.

Ooh, this gives me an idea!
I'll play "Heaven and Hell" with a power drill!

They suck, how about warmare?

Great, one of the first industrial bands I got into.

What, you don't like FLA?
:(
Hrm, I've never heard of Warmare. It seems you've trumped me in terms of industrial cred.

Oh yeah you have to check out "Wall of stone" by them, brrrr i'm deathly cold

Ah! Then it is essential you get CDs by Skinny Puppy, Foetus, Nitzer Ebb, Revolting Cocks, Front Line Assembly, and Throbbing Gristle. :) Pure industrial metal at its finest.

What? No Front 242?
:(
"Headhunter" and "Welcome to Paradise" got me hooked on industrial.
Along with Front Line Assembly's "Caustic Grip" and "Gashed Senses & Crossfire" albums.

What? No Front 242?


Also a good choice! (although up until Black Catalogue, they were kinda euro-trash)

If we have to label these bands as "Real" Industrial, then here's the list I'd approve:
Ministry
KMFDM
NIN

That's it. The rest resemble metal bands with a lil' more synth thrown in than the usual fare. (Though TOOL really does elude description, and Marilyn's good, but definitely metal.)
The closest White Zombie ever came to industrial was having KMFDM remix Thunderkiss '65... they blow goats.

Hell yeah! After Nails, my favorite industrial band OAT is Skinny Puppy.
