im really bored and i like music.... so lets talk MUSIC!:D

Okay. Music is good. *nods*

Sooooo what kind(s) of music do you prefer to feed your ears?

Funny you should start a thread like this --- I'm writing a Prog Rock song with Power Tab at the moment.

hmm i dont think ive ever heard of power tab.. how popular are they..?

Sooooo what kind(s) of music do you prefer to feed your ears?

I lean towards rock/metal.

Specifically I generally like grunge, old school punk, stoner rock, "classic rock" and the blues.

Favourite bands would be Nirvana, Kyuss, Rage Against the Machine, the Dead Kennedys, Tool, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Mudhoney, Alice In Chains, Monster Magnet....etc...but I like a lot of stuff.

It's a music transcription program. Good stuff, if you can read music.

It's a program that you can use to write guitar notation on computer and have it played back in MIDI format.

Sure, my post wasn't as descriptive, but still!

Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Pink Floyd, Miles Davis, Jimmy Cliff, the Beatles, Ornette Coleman, Grandmaster Flash, the Velvet Underground, Bob Marley, Funkadelic, Jimi Hendrix, Aphex Twin, Autechre, Kraftwerk, Ozomatli, almost anything Latin American...it's all good.

Except gangster rap, which is awful beyond words.

yeah sorry about all those posts my mozilla was freakin out... anywhoo so you like pink floyd?? we have a really good local cover band here called the "floydian slips" theyre really good ive seen them like 3 or 4 times

Mwahahaha, I finally beat you!

Sure, my post wasn't as descriptive, but still!

Still, indeed. You still suck. :p

the Velvet Underground,


Yay! :)

oooooh ok i get it now. yeah thats kool ive messed around with fruoty loops a bit but im not very good at it....

It's a bit simpler than that. If you know how to play guitar it's pretty natural.

Still, indeed. You still suck. :p

Alright, that's it. When I get my money, I'm only sending you $0.50!!!

*shakes ass*

oh thats pretty kool, sadly i dont know how to play any instruments... my step bro has a pretty good metal band.. well good for a bunch of freshmen and a 29 yr old singer

so has anyone ever heard of mushroomhead....?

so has anyone ever heard of mushroomhead....?

Heard of, but don't really know them. They're nu-metalish, right?

Heard of, but don't really know them. They're nu-metalish, right?
yeah they fit into alot of genres but yeah mostly nu-metal..

Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Pink Floyd, Miles Davis, Jimmy Cliff, the Beatles, Ornette Coleman, Grandmaster Flash, the Velvet Underground, Bob Marley, Funkadelic, Jimi Hendrix, Aphex Twin, Autechre, Kraftwerk, Ozomatli, almost anything Latin American...it's all good.

i hereby give you a thumbs up, although i can't stand tchaikovsky or mozart. they're much too conventional for my tastes. i'm more of a stravinsky/ debussy/ satie and varese/ cage/ stockhausen kinda guy.

recent additions to my musical library:

Giorgio Moroder- From Here to Eternity
(Utterly cheesey electronic disco, circa 1977)

Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft- Produkt der DAF
(Improvised noise rock with synthesizer, circa 1979)

Vangelis- Blade Runner
(My favorite soundtrack ever, ambient synthetic jazz and proto-techno)

Suicide- First Album
(Rockabilly tinged post-punk on an organ and synths)

Jean-Michel Jarre- Zoolook
(Ambient/ Synth Pop/ World/ Art Funk craziness)

TONTO's Expanding Head Band- TONTO Rides Again
(Futuristic soundscapes from the world's largest synthesizer, circa 1971)

The Screamers- Live in San Francisco, Sep. 2, 1978
(Obnoxious punk rock on an electric piano and synthesizer)

if you couldn't tell, i'm a whore for synthesizers and vintage electronica.

pantera - cowboys from hell

slayer - reign in blood/ god hates us all

killswitch engage - alive or just breathing

otep - otep

fear factory - obsolete

sepultura - arise


those are my favs of the week....especially slayer :headbang: :headbang:

I listen to Rock, Jpop, a teensy weensy tiny whiny widdle bittle bit of rap and R&B, Symphony, techno, game music, anime music, Electronica, Ambient, celtic, tribal?, classic japanese/asian, classic Indian....

But I mostly listen to rock, yah. ^^ Anyone listen to Coheed and Cambria?...

I'm going to be the first to mention Rush.

These guys have always been underrated and seriously underappreciated by critics. Moving Pictures is one of the best albums ever, and Red Barchetta is possibly the best car-oriented song in existence.

Recently I've started really getting into European power metal. Rhapsody and Dragonforce especially. I'm a huge metalhead(but not exclusively) and if you name a metal band I can probably name a song of theirs and another band in the same sub genre. I also like Pat Benetar.

Hardcore, especially crust and emo... and some industrial, and some digital hardcore, and some noise. And I can't forget Wu-Tang Clan.

MUSIC!
'Everybody hates Ned Flanders'

Everybody in the USA
Hates their stupid Neighbour.
His name is Flanders and he's really really lame!
Flanders tried to ruin my song,
His view on birth control are wrong.
I hate his guts, and Flanders is his name.

F-L-A-N-R-D-S
He's the man I hate best
I wish his house would go up in flame

F-L-A
His name is NED!
D-R-S
It's a stupid name!
He's worse than Frankenstein or Doctor No!
You can't annoy him even slightly, he just smiles and nods politely, then goes home and worships nightly.
His leftorium, is an emporium of woe!

F-L-A
Don't shout at Ned!
D-R-S
His wife is dead
Everybody hates that stupid Jerk!

Springfield rocks to Homer's joyous loathing
Filling clubs with Angry Valentinos
You don't have to move your feet!
Just hate Flanders to the Disco beat
He's your perky, peepy, Nightmare Neighbourino!

If you despise polite left-handers,
then I doubt your like Ned Flanders
Or his creepy little offspring Rod and Todd!

F-L-A
His name is Ned
D-R-S
He's so white bread
The geeky, Moustache moron who walks with Gooooooooddddddddddddd

digital hardcore

What's digital hardcore like? I don't know if you've heard of Corporate Avenger, but is it anything like that?

I love music mostly Rock and Pop from the 60's up until todays MM

I LIKE MUSIC!!! specifically mars volta and radiohead given that they are so awesome

Digital hardcore is stuff like Atari Teenage Riot and EC8OR. Not like Corporate Avenger. :p

I was always a fan of Uncle Fucker

Fair to suspect you're also loaded up with; ELP, Kraftwerk, and Rick Wakeman then ?

Aha. I'll check them out.

:D

I can give you a list of more DHC bands, if you like it.

You people and your DHC (I like some if it, actually. Can be quite interesting). It's easy for me to appreciate many types of music, so here's what I don't listen to:

Modern country a.k.a pop with a Texas accent (excluding Brad Paisley, becasue he's a good guitarist)

Most modern rap (I like Public Enemy, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, etc. but not more modern stuff)

Modern pop

Most disco, although some is good, most isn't

That's about it. Everytihng else, from Cash to RATM, from the Beatles to Megadeth, Weather report to ZZ Top, etc. is fair game for me.

metalcore, hardcore, and punk rock are my styles of choice.
heaven shall burn, killswitch engage, neaera; gorilla biscuits, outbreak, verse; self destruct, aus rotten, minor threat... good stuff.

I'm shameless

You guys should check out my band. http://www.holdingsky.com

Let me know what you think

:D

Sure, that's pretty decent. I couldn't find EC80R, but Atari Teenage Riot are cool.

I'm trying to not be overly harsh, so please don't take offence, but it sounded really generic to me. I can turn on the radio and hear hundreds of bands that sound exactly the same as that, particularly in the vocals. You guys probably have talent, but it sounds like you're trying to be too commercial.

i like lots of heavy stuff like Killswitch Engage, Slipknot, Trivium, from Autumn to Ashes, stuff like that, also listen to some lighter stuff like Maiden.

I'd have to agree.
You guys can play, theres no question about it.
However, you guys sound like everyone else.

If you sound like everyone else, no one will remember you.
If you sound like no one else.....people will remember that.

Im a musician too, and I know how tough it is to hear criticism of your songs.
But, to be honest, you guys are good.....you just need a sound more your own.

The guitar riffs, while good..sound a bit too similar, as in a bit too much alike the last one...that can be good for defining your sound, but overdone, and all your songs will sound alike.

Oooh, yeah, I like music. Nice, isn't it?
Metal, punk, ska, rock, classic rock, electronica, glitch-rock, post-rock, math-rock, any combination of them all. And my girlfriend's trying to get me into classical. I'm trying to get her into punk.
And that link in my sig that says 'The greatest band in the world' - I'm not kidding.
