Comparing bands is like comparing films, impossible. Therefore all that can be done is stating their opinion that this or that band is the greatest and hope to recieve some agreement...

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: alexvilagosh on 04-17-2003 02:53

yep, you state your opinion and if other people agree/disagree they will say. otherwise they will ignore it.

I like: U2, Matchbox 20 and other similar bands.

Weezer are alright, they have some good songs but are a bit boring.
Gorillaz are so tedious!
And as for Jeremy's music taste... well i wont talk about that!

yeah Metallica were good early on, but as time and albums went by they got worse and worse, and i havent listened to much of their later stuff.

PS. You can buy one kidney...

Post by: The Names Nick on 04-17-2003 05:52

I still like Metallica despite the fact some of there newer albums did not live up to many of there fans high expectations. Im hoping when the new album comes out this summer that it will be better than some of those before it.

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: SpacemanSpiff on 04-17-2003 06:45

okay....

first and foremost of course at the drive-in, the best band ever.
then mars volta, sparta, north of america, kurt, fugazi, jimmy eat world, foo fighters, nirvana, tenacious d, pale, pilot to gunner, shellac, weezer, beatles, ...and you will know us by the trail of dead, mclusky, tool, rage against the machine, the cancer conspiracy, godspeed you! black emperor, sigur ròs, raised fist, turbonegro, the moldy peaches, arab on radar, flying luttenbachers, nofx, anti-flag, A and lots of others, but i'm too lazy to name them now.
as you can see, my preferences are mostly hard/emocore, noise/math-rock and alternative.

and to start a little flamewar: good charlotte is just pop-"punk". note how i put the word punk in quotation marks - they're damn far away from being punk. their music isn't creative and they aren't very skilled musicians either.

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: Loki on 04-17-2003 09:15

Ok, here's the list:

Blind Guardian (Power Metal) - the best of all

next are (in no particular order): In Flames(Black death Metal), Iced Earth(Trash Metal), Dark Tranquility(Black Metal), Halloween(Power Metal), Moonspell(Black Metal), Manowar (good old Heavy Metal, Thy Majestie, Nightwish(Power Metal)

also, (just not to get mad) I listen to different Gothic and Folk,
Lacrimosa, Dreams of Sanity, Antichrisis, STOA and some others

and other, in no particular order:
Rammstein
System Of A Down
Metalica
Beto Vazquez Infinity
Haggard
and of course, I have all the albums of SCORPIONS, yay!


oops, yes, discussing!
Who wants to discuss Metal?

Some bands I like:
Phish. Hippie music. Same fanbase as Grateful Dead.

Dave Matthews Band I don't care what you think of them, there's talent there and some fine songs.

Outhouse Loud angry music, by a band you probably haven't heard of. Very good though. I recommend you buy their cd, it's entitled Welcome.

Newsboys old school Christian Rock. Not as old-school as U2, but The Newsboys have been around for several years.

Jars of Clay More oldish Christian Rock.

several techno artists including but not limited to Crystal Method, Moby, Gigi D'Agostino

video game music from Metal Gear Solid, Crono Trigger, Earthbound, and many many other games.

Guster newer band, some rock, some pop, many songs are quite melodic. Good cds, good prices, go buy one. I recommend Lost And Gone Forever.

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: Loki on 04-17-2003 10:01

To put my five cents into a discussion.

Most of all, I respect well-made and big lyrics.
Something like this part:


Taken the long way
dark realms I went through
I arrived
my vision's so clear
in anger and pain
I left deep wounds behind
but I arrived
truth might be changed by victory

Beyond the void but deep within me
a swamp of filth exists
a lake it was of crystal beauty
but Arda's spring went by
I've heard the warning
well curse my name
I'll keep on laughing
no regret
no regret

Don't fear the eyes of the dark lord
Morgoth I cried
all hope is gone but I swear revenge
it's my oath
I will take part in your damned fate
…


All other texts  - short and repeated for many times – don’t get respect from me.
Although there are good compositions which deserve attention, most of such songs are just songs “for on day”. They never touch you deeply.

Why? It could be taken to the music thread, but as we have all found out any attempot at discussion in there is futile as it gets drowned out by what I would class as nothing more than spam, but since it isn't spam in the official sense, it is legit. I would say this thread has more substance to it than any of the general music threads or the test threads. That's my opinion. Your opinion is that this thread sucks, but if you can't logigate a reason furthur than your own personal opinion, closing it seems pretty insensitive and power-crazy. Watch out people the Third Reich is coming.  :p <-- Just so you can tell I wasn't 100% serious.

I have a very wide ranging taste in music, so I'll list what I can not listen to under any circumstances: Garage, the worst music ever made, barely classes as music; Slow sappy pop, ugh, horrid, all identikit songs, and why is it always the boy who has done wrong, go find yourself some slag and sleep with her instead of chasing the impossible dream of this perfect woman who probably has a fetish for cats and tuna  :evillaugh:, Some Classical, I really can't stand the sound of violins.

okay, in that case...

in my opinion, music should be complicated - it should make you think, and not just because of the lyrics. or it should create some sorta emotion. that's why i don't like your everyday-pop.
and that's why i like bands like at the drive-in or mars volta - because of complicated song structures and lyrics. that's no background-music. and north of america or mclusky - complicated rhythms, dischordal melodies and the lack of harmony in the usual sense.
or raised fist and similar stuff - that music makes you wanna trash your whole room, it's pure aggression turned into music.

of course i also listen to more normal rock (like jimmy eat world or sparta), but even those bands have some noisy elements (listen for example to your new aestethic by jimmy eat world or red alibi by sparta and you know what i mean).

--cut--

I have to disagree on this. There are many "simple" "pop" songs that I really like. There's nothing wrong with fun bubble-gum music as long as it's done right. I like the Basement Jaxx and Daft Punk, two techno "pop" bands. The Hives do great Rolling Stones-style fun songs. Just because something's simple doesn't make it bad. It's just different. As long as it presents itself as fun, then I have no problem with it.

What I do have a problem with is bands that say they're one thing but do another. Avril Lavigne nor Good Charlotte is "punk" (but "punk" was always a hard term to define, anyways). The Vines aren't "the next Nirvana." They're "the next Silverchair." Slipknot and those 'nu-metal' bands say they're dangerous but they're just boring and derivitive.

On the other hand, though, I do like complicated math rock like Tool, Radiohead, Clinic, Sigur Ros, and the like. I enjoy rap, like early Eminem, The Coup, Outkast, N.E.R.D. and The Roots. I like heavy metal, I like punk, I like alternative.

In the words of The D. "It doesn't matter if it's good, it only matters if it rocks!"

okay, you are right with that. with my definition i meant the bands you mentioned in the quote below, just look at weezer, jimmy eat world or pale - that's not complicated rock, but it's good rock and it's geniune. these people actually like the stuff they're doing and most important of all, they wrote all their songs themselves. and they wouldn't change their style to sale more records. that's important to me, because in my opinion you can hear if a band actually enjoys playing their music (which is usually more often the case if the band wrote the songs themselves) or if not.

exactly. these bands don't sell their music because the music's good (it's just a good example of the genre the band is catigorized in), the music shouldn't even be creative, the main aim of the music is to be sold.

Post by: Melllvar on 04-17-2003 15:18

OK, now I'll chime in.  I've been into almost every genre of music.  I love rock & metal, as well as some pop music (as long as it's done well, and is fairly inventive).  I was into hip-hop in the early eighties and still like to listen to it.  I also like good electronica  (Prodigy, Fluke, Orbital, AphexTwin, Future Sound Of London), some dance music (mainly without vocals) and some non-commercial trance.

Music these days is all about recycling, it always depends on how it's recycled.  If done properly and inventively then the listener barely notices.  However, the music scene is awash with poor poor facsimiles of decent artists.

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: Tzlk on 04-17-2003 16:09

I have seen many, many bands in cocert and this is how i have come to judge bands mainly.  For example, I used to like Blink - 182.  Saw them live.... they sucked major ass.  Stopped liking Blink.  I used to just think Social Distortion was 'ok' now they are quite possibly my favorite band.  I really, really like bands that put on a good show.  The bands that I have seen that put on AWESOME shows, Social Distortion, Authority Zero, and Green Day.  Pennywise plays a GREAT Show, as do most of the bands I like, its just that other level that AZ, SD and GD take it too that make them really really good.  So thats how i judge a band really, if they can play music live and be good and energetic, they rule in my opinion.

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: phoenixie on 04-17-2003 16:12

a band that i have been listning to a lot of late is Cibo Matto. their lyrics are dream-like, and the beats melt in my mouth.
also i really like Bjork, her creativity knows no bounds and each album is a detailed glimpse into one part of her. She throws herself into her work and it enchants me.

I'd like to see Jurassic 5 in concert. And Gorillaz too, although they present in an unusual way. It's this huge video screen showing cartoons of the members playing. But it's all live. I wonder if they do get to see the real people in the concert too.

Yay Melllvar! You seem to be part of the .005% of the public that knows quality electronic music. My fave electronica artists include Astral Projection, Prodigy, Trance[]Control, and the like. Most ppl I know can only think of DJ Sammy and Ian Van Dahl for dance music. Well, those happen to make the cheesies dance tracks ever.

Post by: Spice Weasel on 04-17-2003 21:47

I listen to pretty much anything that appeals to me.  I play punk, surf, metal and classic rock.  I've seen too many bands to list.  For me music need not be complicated, wordy, thought provoking or socially aware to be appealing.  It just has to sound good.  If you know what I mean.  I'd rather listen to the Ramones than Yngwie Malmsteen.  That being said, technicality also has it's place.  Right now, I'm listening to alot of Death and Black Metal.  Ultra Satanic stuff like Sorhin, Enochian Crescent and Thyrane.  Avantgarde stuff like Arcturus, Ulver and Ephel Duath.  Death rock like, Babylon Whores, Sentenced and Katatonia.  I also like more mainstream stuff like Bjork, Morcheeba and The Vines.  My cd collection is in excess of 600, so there's room for a little bit of everything.

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: TheMadCapper on 04-17-2003 21:52

Now by Satanic, do you mean stuff that's actually worshiping Satan in earnest, or just good old counterculture shock value "Evil is cool, rock on, yeah"  music?

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: Spice Weasel on 04-17-2003 22:08

"Worshipping" is a religious connotation.  Bands like Sorhin don't openly "praise" the Christian manifestation of "the devil" but rather advocate the anti-religious, anti-humanist aspects of Satanism.  Wanted God dead or alive, rather than Evil is cool, sell your soul etc. ect.  Our version of Satanism has no room for religious iconography.  It is far more pragmatic than simple good vs evil.  To me there is nothing more evil than organized religion or elevating man above any of the other animals.  We can and do root around in the shit with the best of them.  It's more anticulture than counterculture, if you catch my drift.   

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: TheMadCapper on 04-17-2003 23:01

So in other words your music says that people are animals, organized religion sucks lollipops, etc?

I'm sort of in agreemant, about highly organized religion. Locally organized churches are better, far as I'm concerned. The more bureocracy you allow in a faith, the more opportunity for people to "pull rank" and whatnot.

But if you object to Christianity in general, then I'd like to issue a big "You're wrong", based on the good that certain Christian organizations like the Salvation Army and City Mission provide, and the good provided by missionary doctors, hiring companies to dig wells for impoverished communities, and the like. (which my church supports monetarily). The crusades might be your favorite example, but that's not only long-gone history, but an example of religion gone wrong to begin with.

So Spicy, your music's values oppose Christianity? Or just the beurocracy of Catholicism?

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: Spice Weasel on 04-17-2003 23:14

I most certainly object to Christianity in general. Judeo-Chritianity and Islam, I find to be the most henious offenders of intolerance and mindless "shepherding".  Keep the proles stupid and fearful, therby keeping them inline.  Meh.  This is a music thread not an idiological forum.  The percieved "good" done by SallyAnn et al is just a thin veil of pittance compared to the irreperable damage by cenuturies of crusades, inqusitions and Jihads. 

In a short sentence:

Fuck God

That's all I have to say about that.

Oi! I better get a Yay aswell. I know and quite often like electronica styley music. I'm not a huge fan, but I'm certainly not vehemontly against it like most people I know. If there is one thing I could do without though is those ruddy 80's remixes. *shudders*

The list:
Travis
U2
The Beatles
Simple Minds
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark (OMD)
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Röyskopp
The Lightning Seeds
Manic Street Preachers
Frankie Goes To Hollywood

Also, I'm a big fan of 60's and 80's music   :) Anything before the late 90s!

the Rite Of Spring is a masterpeice that many other composers have tried to capture the originality of.

Drowning Pool has the honor of being the absolute worst band I ever saw live. They were on OzzFest 2k2 (right before P.O.D., who scheduled that back-to-back?). Let me just say...they sucked. Big time. Like half the crowd went to get nachos and go to the bathroom during their bit. Some of the remaining crowd was heckling them (for two horrible covers, NIN's "Head Like a Hole" and Metallica's "Creeping Death." )

They were bad. Really really bad.

Post by: MelBee on 04-18-2003 17:55

Well, my favourite band absolutely has to be Faith No More for the quality and diversity of the music they did.
Other worthy mentions are Incubus, RHCP, Puddle of Mudd, Nirvana (back in the days), Foo Fighters, Pink, Limp Bizkit, SOAD, Metallica (classic, of course), Eminem, Tenacious D, and so on. All fab bands, whether you think they've 'sold out' or not, I don't think that's important. It's good if it sounds good. End of story. To hell with the rest!

No, that was the year before. Ironically, the same city that heckled Drowing Pool (Cleveland, OH, where I'm from) also heckled Crazy Town. Apparently, the heckling was so bad, the lead singer started crying and stormed off stage. If only I was there...  :evillaugh:

Heh, reminds me of a time a lead singer came after me after the gig (really small gig) because I had a laser pointer fixed onto his guitar and it obviously put him off, when I saw him come down near where I was and heard him say "Where's the fucker with the laser!", I was sprinting across the field giggling.  :D

You know I love you for loving FNM.  :love:

I also would add that list to mine, except Pink.

I agree with you also.  What defines a "Sell-Out" band?  Is it one that goes double-massive?  No.  Is it one that betrays it's roots in order to shift more product?  Maybe.  But why?  They are only "selling-out" if they betray themselves and their own musical direction in order to sell more product. 

If the music's good, who cares if it's been bought by 20 people or 20 million.

Let's continue this in another thread. You pick the time and place.

And I'm in agreement with Melllllll. If the band doesn't betray their beliefs and message by watering down their message and lyrics to make money... they're not selling out. Even if a band happens to be raging angrily for a while, and then alter their music because they'd like to be heard by more people and make more money, is that such a bad thing? Sometimes people would just like to play music and be heard and enjoyed. nd making lots of money isn't so bad either.

Yup, only if their "inspiration" comes from Mr. John Q. Recordexec then that can be defined as selling-out. 

There's a quote from Jason Newsted which goes: 

Quote

"Yeah, we've sold-out.......every damn seat in the house, every night."

A lot of bands would give everything to reach the kind of audiences that the likes of Metallica reach - remember they ploughed a lone furrow in the 80's, ignored by radio and MTV, but they had legions of hardcore fans.  Who carried them to being the enormo-dome super-band they are today.

They didn't get lucky, they worked their asses off, same goes for the likes of U2.

I personally hate the term "sell-out", as I think it only applies to a small percentage of artists (Okay, if I see "For Whom The Bell Tolls" being used to advertise woman's sanitary products - only then will I agree).

To get this back to music, and not the music-business - I have a list of my five favourite bands (which never changes):

Faith No More, Metallica, Pink Floyd, Rush and Depeche Mode.

There are much more under these, but these are laminated, I'll always love these bands.

And then, as soon as they got big with the Black Album, changed their sound to a more radio-friendly style, started to suck, abandoned their old school fans, and went to war with Napster, driving off most of their remaining fans.

Metallica might be a sell-out, but they definately have sucked for the last few years.

Oh, and I think I mentioned this before, but Eminem is totally a sell-out. He went from a dangerous, edgy, and perversely comical talented rapper rapping about murder, mayhem, and the emasculation of the male to singing about how he loves his daughter and that he's sorry about how he treated his mother. Crap.

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: Melllvar on 04-19-2003 11:26

Well, I for one, hope that the new album is gonna be great.  I'll admit that Load and Reload didn't grab me as much as they should have (in my opinion it was overkill, they should have made ONE album with all of the best songs from the TWO albums - there's a lot of "filler" on Load and Reload.), and the Napster thing pissed me off.

However, my point remains, good or bad, they worked hard for what they got, it wasn't anyone elses decision but theirs to alter their sound. I think personally it was down to the success of the Black Album that afforded them this luxury. 

They placed too much importance on the blues-metal slower tempo songs like "Sad But True",  and especially "Nothing Else Matters" in choosing the direction to take after "Black".

Oh, and I've been listening since "...Puppets".  Which is still their best album.

Oh except that the whole "Money sucks" attitude is so hypocritical and retarded it's untrue. Say that to me, then look me straight in the eys and say that you wouldn't mind being a homeless bum living on the street in shabby clothes without washing for months.

Money sucks when it controlls you and you must become a servant to it. There's a difference between doing what you love and making money for it and changing what you do to make more money from it. That's "selling-out."

And my problem with Metallica is that their recent stuff has sucked balls in comparision. Not only to older Metallica, but to other metal bands. You can't even put "Reload" in the same league as "...And Justice For All."

Let's continue this in another thread. You pick the time and place.

/quote

First of all, don't put words in my mouth Cappy.  You edited my post to make it appear I wrote "grr argh, I'm angry"  Just for the record. I did not write that you did. 

Second,  YOU started this whole how could you in your right mind put down something so good and pure as Christianity thing.  I just wrote I'm currently listening to Satanic bands, and gave a few examples of band names.  I originally said nothing about the content until you brought it up.

Thirdly, I'm not going to argue about Idol worship with you. 

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: TheMadCapper on 04-19-2003 22:39

Put words in your mouth? It was a way of abbreviating the quote while showing I wasn't losing my sense of humor over your rant. Nobody here actually thinks you broke off in mid-sentence and wrote "grr arg I'm angry".

And it would seem to me that YOU started it with "to me there is nothing more evil than organized religion or elevating man above the other animals", in response to an innocent question of what variety of "satanistic" your music is.

And one more time - you want to continue it, then take it to something more fitting, like the Test thread.


And just to add some music-related thoughts... It seems to me that video game music is getting better and better. Perhaps someday soon people will hear a track they really like, and not be astounded when you tell them "That's from a video game". Example of an excellent song from a video game: The Best is Yet to Come, from Metal Gear Solid. Sung in Gaelic, so don't attempt to understand the words.

video game music is getting better and better

I agree
PC games, Heroes of Might and Magic IV. Despite some people call this game crap, (I don't agree but this is for another thread)
concerning music, sometimes, while playing HMM IV, you cannot get where are you, are you playing a PC game or sitting at the concerto. Very-high-quality music.

also, just for everybody’s information, I don't like Satanism, neither do I say "fuck god".
I listen to listed by me bands because of mysticism (and protest) in their music and stuff and stuff and stuff, you all know what i'm speaking about.  ;)

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: SpacemanSpiff on 05-24-2003 10:23

i couldn't really find a better thread so i'm posting it here...

i saw north of america live twice last week (one time they were also supported by forstella ford, but they sucked). and dammit, they're really, really good. to me, they're the new hope for rock since at the drive-in split up.
they are just awesome musicians, they swap instruments on stage, the show just blew me away.
also, they're damn funny. they were constantly making stupid jokes even though they shouldn't really be joking at all since they're damn unlucky. unlucky incidents include: their van exploded while driving to hamburg. they lost parts of the drumkit, one guitar, almost all merch (thank god i could still get a t-shirt), their clothes, plane tickets and so on.
but they actually kept joking about this - and they kept touring despite the fact that they had virtually no clothes with them (and they had to buy, quoting them, "crappy t-shirts at wal-mart" ).
then they produced a video and wanted to send it over to germany since the german record label has rather good connections to mtv/viva. the first time, the video never arrived, the second time the video got scanned and thus lost all content. that's why their video will never be aired over here in europe.
on the second show i saw them, the contact lenses of one of the guitar players/drummers/singer (like i said, they swap instruments) shifted, but he had to play two more songs untill he could get them out of his eye. so he had to play these two songs with a hurting eye. and after that, he could hardly see anything.
not to mention the several wrenched guitar strings, the drumkit that fell apart during one show (got fixed with duct tape though), the guitar that fell down because the strap broke (got fixed with duct tape too).
also, there were about 60-80 people at both shows, which is pretty bad for a band coming over here from canada.

yet, they never complained and had lots of fun. and they were really nice after the show (i had the opportunity to talk with to one of them).
some quotes include:
one guy (the one who complained about his crappy white wal-mart t-shirt) was so sweaty you could see his nipples - after some standard-jokes about the fact, they asked for a song they should play and i requested fuck (repeating). who would've thought that some lines can easily be replaced by "i can see mike's nipples". it had me in stitches.
or how about the following conversation:
north of america: "do you want hear any other songs?"
drunken punk: "play back stabbath!"
north of america: "we already played that song."
drunken punk: "play it again!"
north of america: "no. we're not right said fred."

@ Lurrr: Cool. Classic progressive rock.

*the world explodes because I just made a contradiction*

On a completely unrelated note, but has anyone read any reviews of Marilyn Manson's Golden Age of the Grotesque? Being a Manson fan, I'm eager to pick it up, but the first single is extremely underwhelming. I read in article about it in "Revolver" before it came out, and Manson described all his influences, including Salvidor Dali, Dadaism, Surrealist painters, and the like, so, naturally, that piqued my curiousity. (However, when a musician describes *painters* as his influences, it does cause head-scratching) And he ripped off Faith No More, which is a no-no.

Or, did anyone buy it, and is it any good?

I quite liked "mOBSCENE", even though it IS a blatent rip of "B.E.A.G.G.R.E.S.S.I.V.E." by Faith No More.

Speaking of which, I just picked up "Angeldust" after having most of the Mp3's on my computer. It's some good stuff.

I, also, tend to be a completist, aside from "Smells Like Children," which is just super weak. The cover of the Eurthymics is good, and "I Put a Spell on You" is decent, but the rest is pretty medicore. And when did Manson start doing all these cover songs? He did the two previously mentioned, "Rock n Roll Nigger," and "Tainted Love."

I like all kinds of music, so it's hard to pin-point any particular genre that I'm partial to. Some days I'm in the classical kind of mood, so I'll listen to to opera and classical music. Other times I'll be in the mood for some booty shaking club/dance music. Lately, though, after my recent trip to Australia, I've been really into music with digeridoo, and for some unknown reason, that traditional Japanese music that is entirely comprised of those large drums.

Bumping this thread with a couple of discussion points I had with some mates on a long car journey:

1) A person from a band dies and you're brought in to replace them.  Who would it be, and why?  Regardless of lack of musical talent.

Abe Cunningham from Deftones sadly dies and I'm brought in to replace him, as he's most like my style of drumming, and I think I'd fit in that band well.  Plus, they rock!

2) If you could make a Festival Of your own choosing, who would you book, regardless of time and mortality?

MelllFest
Main Stage:
Led Zeppelin/Pink Floyd (co-headliners)
Metallica
Faith No More
Foo Fighters
Deftones
System Of A Down
Queens Of The Stone Age

2nd Stage:
Rammstein
Rocket From The Crypt
At The Drive-In
Fugazi
A
Black Box Recorder
Red:Shift (it's a fantasy festival, my bands gotta play!)

Comedy Tent:
Bill Hicks
Tenacious D (thanks Spiff)
David Baddiel & Rob Newman
Bill Bailey
Simon Pegg

That'd be a pretty damn good festival.

spiff-fest

Sister Hazel, Dave Matthews Band (older albums), Matchbox 20, Disturbed, Oasis, Enya, Bright Eyes (more on that in a minute), The Get Up Kids (one particular song: "Mass Pike" ), Bruce Springsteen, Lifehouse, Jason Mraz, (some) Linkin Park, (some) Our Lady Peace, Stone Temple Pilots.
And I'll get killed, but, they have good songs: Michelle Branch and Vanessa Carlton

Bright Eyes: There is just one song that has the best lyrics I have ever heard. They're not musically talented. At all. Musically they suck. But from "Loose Leaves":
 

Quote

But I remember counting days down 'till the year could be done
So I could scatter all my notebooks on the prep school lawn
And disappear again into a summer's bliss of stayin' out and sleepin' in and gettin' drunk with my friends
But that's gone and I know that won't ever come back
I accept I won't cling to what I had in the past
But life's a slippery slope, regret's the steepest hill
Hope for the best, plan for the worst, and maybe wind up somewhere in the middle.

I love those lyrics!

Interesting idea, Melll. It has to be bands that are still in existance, or can we include defunct bands?

Answer: Yes.

Hmm....the cuts on this are going to be brutal..

evan'sfest (a festival of the night)

Main Stage
David Bowie (headliner)
Nine Inch Nails (headliner)
Marilyn Manson
Faith No More
The Misfits
White Zombie

Second Stage
The Smashing Pumpkins
Joy Divison/New Order
Depeche Mode
The Deftones
Sisters of Mercy
Echo and the Bunnymen
Rammstein

I tried to thematize it, because an open-ended question would be too impossible. How could you cut Dylan for Nirvana, the Stone for Led Zep? It's be insane.

I like what you did with it though.  I left the question as open-ended as possible to get the muso-heads thinking. 

It's an interesting point though, how would you choose between Dylan & Nirvana, or The Beatles & Hendrix.  The answer is, you can't so either you go with the best line-up possible or make it a themed event.

Great to see Bowie, MM, DM and FNM on there.

Hmmm. Tough one. Probably replacing John Myung in Dream Theater because I'd love to play some of their stuff live.

After hearing my mum playing Coldplay constantly, I now seem to love or hate most of 'A Rush of Blood to the Head'. I just love the track 'Daylight', that's by far my fave on the album. If only they released that as a single. 'God Put A Smile on Your Face' is also clool, but then there are other tracks I hate, like 'The Scientist'...

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: Pikka Bird on 03-17-2004 16:13

Coldplay started something good with "Parachutes" but "A Rsuh of Blood to the Head" is too smooth. All the little goodiebits have been smoothed out and the result is just a pleasant listening experience, nothing more (although some songs do stand out)

Have I posted a band list? I think not (in no particular order):

Mew - Placebo - Lise Westzynthius - Metallica - The Mars Volta - Kira and The Kindred Spirits - A Perfect Circle - Sigur Rós - The Vandals - NoFX - Tool - System of A Down - Cradle of Filth - Queens of The Stone Age - 30 Seconds to Mars - KLoAK - Mudvayne - Alexanderband - Depeche Mode - HIM - At The Drive-In - Eels - Led Zeppelin - The Doors - Primus - Kashmir - Muse - Hateshpere - Foo Fighters - As I Lay Dying - Alanis Morissette - Entombed - The Cardigans - Portishead - Opeth - Morbid Angel - Nirvana - Pennywise - The Cure - Jeff Buckley - The Offspring - Faith No More - Blur - Superheroes - The Ramones - Nine Inch Nails - Air - Psyched Up Janis - Dillinger Escape Plan - They Might Be Giants - Blind Melon - Dream Theater - Glassjaw - Group X - Moon Gringo - Moi Caprice - Beth Gibbons - Luksus - Voodoo Glowskulls - Marilyn Manson (And The Spooky Kids) - Barcode - Weezer - Janis Joplin - Joni Mitchell - Konkhra - Orgy - Under Byen - David Bowie - Mikael Simpson - Queen - Aerosmith - Poison The Well - Kitty Wu - Joy Division - Jimmy Eat World - Stonesour - Nina Simone - In Extremo - Cat Power - Entombed - Babylon Zoo - PJ Harvey - Dizzy Mizz Lizzy - Björk - Pink Floyd - Beck - Crytopsy - Ella Fitzgerald - Dido <believe it or not- I am sick of the radio singles from "White Flag" though) - The White Stripes - Rancid - AFI - Zeke - Kittie - The Distillers

What I've been listening to lately? I'll put that in order of my top ten bands at the moment:

1) Capitalist Casualties(vicious crust)
2) Converge(hardcore from the early 90's into today)
3) Disrupt(more creepy crust music)
4) Toxic Narcotic(these guys play at all the street punk shows, but they have very distinct metal/grind influence)
5) Supersuckers(cowboy rock/punk, and even some country)
6) Ed Gein(Grind metal from Syracuse)
7) Bad Brains(80's hardcore punk, all black guys too, don't see that too often, they also play a little reggae)
8) Nekromantix(psychobilly from Denmark)
9) Starkweather(slow ass metal, but fantastic all the same)
10) Burnt By The Sun(really really heavy metal from the depths of New Jersey)

Pablo Honey and The Bends are great albums, but the rest of 'em can rot.  Once they decided they'd make noise rather than rock 'n roll, my interest went to zero.  I have no idea what a Coldplay is and from your description, I don't want to.

I just back from a four band blues concert here in Wausau WI, eight hourse of 3 good bands, one bad. Matt Perry and his group from New York, Magic Slim and the Teardrops, and Big Dog and The MOB (men of blues). Big Dog is a gutsy voiced singer, they play a kind of a Chicago/Memphis thing. Harmonica player is to die for.

Matt Perry is an agile guitarist, his band moves from clapton to hendricks to some rock songs I can't name. All with the, "I'll solo for as long as I want to" method. Still, it never gets old listening. He does, All Along the Watchtower, sounding alot like Hendrix.

The Best blues for your style is the Chicago blues band Magic Slim and the Tear Drops. The whole band just played well together, something like taking chances. Yeah, their music felt like it took chances. And Magic Slim is fast, really fast.

Reverand Raven and the Chain Smoking Alter Boys, as bad as the name. total 'powerchord' blues that kind of modernized blues that you'd hear The Blues Brothers play. Every song they played sounded more like the one before. I never was so bored, not since I tried play an entire Godsmack cd. Their a Midwest thing, I think, so no worries.

I felt "Hail To The Thief" was somewhat weak. Whereas most of the previous albums had a sort of timeless quality about them, HTTT doesn't really hold up for me. It's like they took elements from The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A and Amnesiac and shoved them together to make their own version of a pop album.

Here's a question for Spiff. Is the North of America song "Rough Draft Korea" about what I think it's about? Cuz that would be awesome.

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: SpacemanSpiff on 03-25-2004 16:38

Yeah, I've asked myself the same question and I'm not quite sure. The lyrics are, as usual, hard to decipher, so they're not much of a help. But just for the record, here they are:

They were flicking ashes through departments with trick defenses. Conversation passes through a canves held suspended. We're flat out reaching for the polished shine. Reminded of the feeling, mark the distance slide. Settled screens of red and blue redemption make no mention. Trailed framed and lines and answers slanted yr. new commission. And it's portioned out for our sake, coasts built these lines. We'll blame it on misfortune and seperate our fines.

It doesn't sound a lot like Rough Draft reference, but maybe it's just more cryptic.

However, as for the lyrics, here's a quote by North of America about their lyrics: "We're pretentious idiots."

If this awakens your enthusiasm, then you should try to live in Denmark where everybody's taste in music doesn't go anywhere beyond 50 Cent. I will say to them "Tool" and they will say "WTFROFLMAO!!!!11111111". And Tool are quite famous everywhere else. Can you imagine what it's like trying to promote some of the less famous bands?

You really should stop watching "Boogie" late at night, Pikka. It's bad for your health.  :p

And if you think you have it bad, guess who DTU hired to play at our annual summer celebration? None other than the multi-talented Nick & Jay.  :nono:

And this at an university with 6,000 engineering students. What the hell were they thinking? Worst of all, it attracted all sort of empty-headed floozies.

On the other hand, they gave me free tickets for Swan Lee and Die Herren this Friday.

I don't watch Boogie- only when Huxi is on (And Jeanet from time to time) I'm just in a bad crowd from time to time. Yes- I have stooped to the level that causes me to have a profile on SKUM. But I have filtered out the rabble and found a select few who can make intelligent conversation.

have you heard of the term "generalization"? That was what I had going a couple of posts back. We have bundles of really great music, but the vast majority here just listen to utter crap.

Yeah, I know what you were getting at... strangers' tastes in music suck everywhere.

As for the utter/udder dealie, who first decided to drink cow milk? Weird... though I think that question was raised by Calvin and Hobbes.

Question: Which bands would you like to see reuniting?

TOTP Bazunga suck.

Anyway if it's any consolation Mr Pikka, I've had the same problem where I seem to meet all sorts of people whose taste in music goes as far as the pop charts. I don't bother trying to convert them to my taste in music, yet some of them seem obsessed with doing so back to me.

So, does anyone know anthing about Circus of Satanis, the Italian metal band linked to a series of murders in 1998?  I've been trying to research them, but there's no English language info coming out, and I want to know what scene they're connected to, and specifically if they have anything to do with the Black Metal scene that's been linked to homicides elsewhere.

Post by: canned eggs on 06-11-2004 17:37

Yeah, I read that article, but it doesn't say anything about the scene or the music more specific than "metal."  I've seen people talking about Circus of Satanis and black metal on Italian message boards, but I can't tell what they're saying.

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: canned eggs on 07-13-2004 01:47

I actually finally found out some more info on this band; it turns out they're not a black metal band, have no connections to the Norwegian scene, and are only part of the heroin scene in Italy, at least according to gossip on an Italian black metal forum, including some stuff by a dude named "LordRavenDark."  I think this guy wins the canned eggs self-caricature prize for this week.

I mean, if I was to turn black metal, I'd do some damn research coming up with a name.

Alright, another discussion point (which I didn't think mertited a thread of it's own, and one taken from a mates LJ), but a good one nonetheless, time for some of these all-time great (and some not-so-great) bands to square-off against each other, consider the merits and flaws of each band, who would win:

I still remember the day when I first heard their song Writing To Reach You, back in 1999. But Coldplay ... I like them a lot, A Rush of Blood to the Head is a fine album. I think I'm going to have to be "in the middle" on this battle. EDIT: Actually, I've thought about this ... I think Coldplay win it for me.

Peter Gabriel V Phil Collins

You know I am going to be biased on this one. I love Peter Gabriel and his music, I prefer a lot of his early work than his commercial successes, as the early songs have a lot more experimentation in them. His third album is my current stable music diet, and it's just so good. His fourth album is much more adventurous though, a lot of world music on it. So is a good album though, it's a bit upbeat, and is a nice listen, I especially love Red Rain, Mercy Street and In Your Eyes      :) Us is a depressive, dark album, and there are some really good songs on it, noticebly Blood of Eden. His 2002 release. Up, is a decent record too, although I didn't like it at first, it grew on me!    :) When I saw Gabriel live a while ago, he was just amazing. Strong performances of every song, and he gave a full show, with a Zorb ball and everything! The thing is, it is impossible to pick a favourite song, my favourite at the moment being Family Snapshot, although it changes on a weekly basis.
Phil Collins on the other hand, just doesn't do much for me. He is a good drummer though, and does the drumming on two Gabriel tracks - Intruder and No Self-Control, the latter being a song I love. Collins was one of the artists I grew up on as a child though, especially Easy Lover, In The Air Tonight, Against All Odds, etc ...and then got all Disney on us. He's had a lot more success than Gabriel - 3 no.1 singles and 5 albums, but generally I think that Gabriel is the much better artist.

     

Quote

U2 v Simple Minds

Simple Minds are quite good - I still think that Sparkle In The Rain and Once Upon A Time are good albums, my favourites from them being Speed Your Love To Me and Alive and Kicking. Don't You (Forget About Me) is a poor song, the band didn't even want to record it as it wasn't written by them and didn't have much to do with the process...although I still like the song!    :D Their only UK no.1, Belfast Child, is a song I'm not keen on, it was basically them trying to "do a U2". They did have five no.1 albums though, so I guess that's something to be happy about!      :) U2 are a band I have always liked, although I only started to "properly" notice them after their 1998 release The Sweetest Thing. I like a hell of a lot of their songs, from 1983's New Years Day to 2002's Electrical Storm. They've been a strong group for what, 20 years now? My favourite U2 song is probably The Fly or Pride (In The Name Of Love). U2 win it for me, just.

Man, that took a long time to type!

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: Melllvar on 07-18-2004 16:47

Here are mine, although firstly, don't rag on the choices, they're not mine (except for the few I added - there were loads of different connotations), but I stuck with them as they were.  I could kept adding and adding, but I'll save them for Part II (if I ever do it.)

The Beatles v The Rolling Stones
I'm not a big Beatles fan - I make no secret of it, and The Stones were more of an embodiment of Rock N Roll for me.  In their day, Jagger & Richards were an awesome writing partnership, and there are some songs which never go bad (Sympathy For The Devil, Paint It Black, Gimme Shelter).

Led Zeppellin v Metallica
As much as I love Metallica, I'll go with Led every time.  Can't argue with the fact that they took total Rock N Roll excess to it's extreme in the 70's.  Who in 'Tallica would have sold their soul to the devil for enormous success (allegedly)?  No-one.
 
Rage Against the Machine v System of a Down
This is a tough choice, but I'm going with System for being totally barking mad, and an unbelievably intense live band.  I've seen both bands live, and System totally blew me away both times.  I was awestruck.
 
The Mars Volta v At the Drive In
Another toughie.  I'll go with The Mars Volta, on the strength of their album "De-loused In The Comatorium" and the strength of the two live shows I've caught.

Radiohead v Spiritualized
Radiohead.  On the strength of "The Bends" and "OK Computer".  I could never get into Spiritualised.

The White Stripes v Ryan Adams
The White Stripes, because Ryan Adams is too near a name to Bryan Adams for ontological comfort.

Mercury Rev v The Flaming Lips
The Flaming Lips, what little I've heard of them, I like.  I like Yoshemi Vs The Pink Robots, and I've never liked Mercury Rev that much either.

Jesse Malin v Beck
I've caught two Beck shows, and both of them were amazing.  Plus, he was in Futurama, wasn't he?

Jeff Buckley v Dennis Wilson
I've not heard Dennis Wilson, so I'll go with what I know.  Jeff.

The Doors v The Velvet Underground
Close.  But The Doors shade it.  Lou Reed got a whole lot better after he left the Velvets.

The Smiths v Echo and the Bunnymen
No contest.  The Smiths.  Misery never felt better than this.

The Strokes v The Libertines
They both bite the big one (junior), but I'll go with The Strokes on the merit that they keep writing one or two good songs.  The Libertines just suck.

Jane's Addiction v The Red Hot Chili Peppers
Ouch, tough choice.  Janes swing it, just.  Dave Navarro is a genius.  Fact.  Plus their last album was a total riff-fest.

Nirvana v Pearl Jam
Mmm, is it better to burn-out than to fade away?  I'm going with Pearl Jam, because "Ten" meant more to me than "Nevermind", although it was a very very close call.

Soundgarden v Alice in Chains
Close, again.  I'm going with the 'Garden.  Kim Thyall looked like a Rabbi, but played gutsy fucking riffs, plus "Badmotorfinger"  rocks, and "Superunknown" put them on the map.

The Pixies v Sonic Youth
Not as hard a choice as I first thought.  Two songs, "Monkey Gone To Heaven" and "Where Is My Mind?".  Sonic Youth never produced anything that memorable.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club v Muse
No contest, I'll take the new Rush over the Jesus & Mary Chain-wannabees.

Auf der Maur v PJ Harvey
Maybe in two albums time this answer will change, but for now, Polly Harvey has it.

The Deftones v Korn
Deftones, just.  Because "White Pony" is still amazing, and they have produced consistantly affecting and, above-all, excellent work.

Neil Young v Bob Dylan
The godfather of grunge.  Nuff said.

Mogwai v Godspeed You Black Emporer
Godspeed, because "Yanqui UXO" is awesome, and Mogwai were better before "Rock Action".

Coldplay v Travis
Close.  But Chris Martin's band has it, based on the fact that "Clocks" is such a freakin memorable hook.

Doves v Elbow
Doves, no contest.  I defy anyone to not love "The Man Who Sold Everything", awesome song.

Queens of the Stone Age v A Perfect Circle
Ouch, tougie, again.  Queens take it, because "Songs For The Deaf" is a fantastic record, although it's a close run thing between them when I've seen them live.  This answer could change, but it hinges on how the band are going to be without Nick Oliveri.

The Beach Boys v The Byrds
Beach Boys.  Pet Sounds.  Nuff said.

The Flying Burrito Bros v Buffalo Springfield
I'll plead the fifth on this one.  No idea.

Black Sabbath v Guns 'n' Roses
Sabbath, definately.  Guns only made one good album, plus Ozzy still rules!

Peter Gabriel V Phil Collins
No contest, Collins should've stayed behind the drums in Genesis.  At least Gabriel kept his musical credibility.

Duran Duran V Spandau Ballet
Oh come on, Spandau were never in the hunt, not even in the 80's.  DD had better songs, "True" still makes me wince.

Erasure V Depeche Mode
No contest.  DM became stadium behemoths, and Dave Gahan nearly killed himself - they couldn't have got more rock n roll.

Rush V Primus
It's battle of the bass-players, but add Neil Peart to the mix and it's no contest.  You can't argue with a 30-year career.

U2 v Simple Minds
Just.  Based on the fact that I hated "Belfast Child", and U2 have been incredible since re-inventing themselves for "Achtung Baby" (still one of the best albums of the 90's, and their best album ever).

Slipknot V Mushroomhead
Mushroomhead's album was a little more off-the-wall, and promised much.  But they've been smacked-down consistantly by Slipknot.  Plus Joey Jordison blew me away when I saw them live.

Blur V Oasis
Blur were much better once Graham Coxon discovered Pavement.  Oasis are a band for slug-brained imbeciles.  Nuff said.

And the Main Event:

The Beatles v Elvis Presley
Yet again, I was never that big a Beatles fan, so I'm going with The King, bloated, jumpsuited, dead-on-a-toilet.  Plus, Fun In Acapulco is still a hoot.

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: alexvilagosh on 07-19-2004 01:29

I'll do a few of these...

Radiohead v Spiritualized
Spiritualized are great, but Radiohead are awsome.

The Smiths v Echo and the Bunnymen
Hands down to The Smiths, even though Echo and the Bunnymen are great too.

Nirvana v Pearl Jam
Close, but Pearl Jam just do something more for me than Nirvana.

Coldplay v Travis
Their first two albums were great, but they have dropped off a bit. This one was really hard to pick. One more awsome Coldplay album and they would be better, so far they have been great.

Doves v Elbow
I can't get into Doves, but Elbow are pretty good, and I've seen them live once.

U2 v Simple Minds
U2.  :D

Blur v Oasis
Both good, just Oasis have written more great songs. I find Blur to be sucky at times.

I argue with this one, based upon your earlier comment on "buring out v. fading away."  I gave the nod to G'N'R for burning out in an extraordinarily amusing fashion in a short amount of time. During their short career, G'N'R were concentrated awesome. While you don't care for the Use Your Illusion records, I applaud them for trying something different.

As opposed to Ozzy and Sabbath, well, the inclusion of Dio really killed the band for me. Plus, so much of Sabbath sounds exactly the same and monotonous.  30 years later, Ozzy's been Disnified, shaking like a crackhead onstage, and trotted out whenever one of his children has an album out. WHile Axl looked bad last time I saw him, Ozzy has become pathetic.

@Melllvar:i dunno if i agree with ya about the Beatles V Stones and Elvis. Unlike you, I'm a BIG Beatles fan and i think they really blow em(certainly the Stones) outta the water. I think during the mid to late 60's Lennon and McCartney were MUCH better songwriters than Jagger and Richards.

With Elvis though, thats a bit closer. Yuo really cant compare the most popular band of all time to the king of Rock and Roll. They are too different at their cores, but i'm not really an Elvis fan so i wont pass judgement.

Oh and PS: Nice call on the Beach Boys and Byrds. I'll take Pet Sounds and SMiLE over any Byrds music anyday.

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: SpacemanSpiff on 07-20-2004 05:05

The Beatles v The Rolling Stones
They win because they've added a lot more to music than the Stones ever did (for references check out the White Album). Oh, and they have a drummer who actually knew how to play.

Led Zeppellin v Metallica
Because they kept producing good stuff and didn't start to suck a lot at some point.
 
Rage Against the Machine v System of a Down
Because System of a Down is too close to Nu-Metal, because Rage Against the Machine have the better lyrics, because they were first and System of a Down merely uses them as an influence.

The Mars Volta v At the Drive in
That's a tough one, as I like both a lot. But musicially, TMV are much better and they pack a punch as well. And just looking at the albums, At the Drive-In have more songs I don't like (per album, that is) than TMV.
Oh, also, TMV get a drummer-bonus.

The Strokes v The Libertines
Everybody else loses.

Nirvana v Pearl Jam
Pearl Jam sometimes are a bit too druggy for me, and while Nevermind certainly represents a big negative point, In Utero and Bleach were pretty damn good.

Soundgarden v Alice in Chains

The Pixies v Sonic Youth
Both are great, but I'm a real sucker for noise and feedback.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club v Muse
Muse's music's a lot more complex and offers more variety. I guess that's a pretty good reason.

The Deftones v Korn
Because they don't suck.

Mogwai v Godspeed You Black Emporer
Oh, come on. That's ridiculous.

Coldplay v Travis
Everybody else loses.

Queens of the Stone Age v A Perfect Circle
I don't understand why we're comparing those two bands. But while I really like QUOTSA, they get repetitive after a while. APC offers more variety and Maynard's voice is pretty cool too.

Black Sabbath v Guns 'n' Roses
Argh! AAAARGH!

Rush V Primus
Because their music is just more ... fucked up.

Blur V Oasis
Blur, again, they offer a bigger variety of music styles. Oh, and personally, they don't seem to be a buch of assholes.

The Beatles v Elvis Presley
This is just sad. I mean, Elvis?! No, really...

I would personally make it Sparta v. The Mars Volta, because both have members of ATDI and are in the same timeframe.  After all, ATDI has many more albums to put into consideration than The Mars Volta does.

Speaking of which, I picked up the new Sparta cd yesterday, along with the new one from The Hives.  The Hives are still bubble-gummy punk-rock, which, despite what you may be told, is a good thing.  The Sparta cd is definately not as hard as "Wiretap Scars."  I'm not sure if it's inferior or just different than the previous.

Neither of those things is true. 

I'm picking the Stones on this one, because the Stones are one of the quintessential capital R Rock & Roll bands.  The Beatles never really were a Rock & Roll band in that sense.  They started out as cutesy-poo pop singers, and went immediately into psychedelia and became hippies.  People like Nasty might like it, but it's not Rock & Roll.  There's no place for hippies in Rock, with the exception of the MC5. 

People claim the Beatles are influential because their success popularised rock & roll, so therefore everyone owes them something.  But even the Beatles wouldn't have existed without, say, Bill Haley and the Comets, but nobody ever looks at them as much more than hacks.  Being popular doesn't give you any artistic credibility. 

In fact, I think a better comparison would be the Beatles vs. the Flamin' Groovies.  Because everyone criticised the Flamin' Groovies for being too derivative of the Beatles, but at least they understood that Rock & Roll wasn't about wanting to hold your hand.  I mean, the Beatles were singing "She loves you yeah yeah yeah," and the Groovies were singing "I'm angry, and I'll mess you up for fun."

So pure Rock & Roll bands owe more respect to the Stones than the Beatles, is the upshot.  And that's me.  Hippies, or musicians looking at a broader range of pop and experimental stuff are gonna dig the Beatles.  But I hate hippies.

And as for the Beatles' later, post-boy band stuff, I just don't buy most of it.  I mean, they never went anywhere interesting to me, and their musical experimentation was intermittent.  I mean, all the rising sounds in Sgt. Pepper are genius, but all their sitar stuff was crap.  Utter crap.  And the White Album is like 50% inspired, both the Rock & Roll songs and experimental stuff, and 50% garbage.  I mean, Glass Onion has to be one of the stupidest songs I've ever heard.

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.

I believe the Beatles get so much attention because they set off the "teen-centric" marketing in music and culture.  To my knowledge, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Bill Haley, etc, never really caught on as quickly as the Beatles did, nor did they keep a hold on the public's consciousness almost constantly for 10 years. The Beatles did indeed influence many other musicans as the "forefront of the British invasion."  The Stones were often seen as 'also-rans' in that sense. From what I know (little), I think more artists that became something were influenced by the Beatles (re: Bowie.)

If it wasn't for the Beatles' influence, music wouldn't be so focused on young people to the extent it is to now.

P.S. - Quick question, just to ease my curiousity. Did the Stones or the Beatles start first?  I'm pretty sure the Beatles started 'round '59, but I don't know about the Stones.

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: Melllvar on 07-22-2004 07:40

The Beatles started first.

The Rolling Stones were formed in 1962 out of Giorgio Gomelsky's Crawdaddy Club, and Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated, which featured Charlie Watts and Brian Jones (Brian Jones is the originator of The Rolling Stones).

Jagger and Richards were childhood aquaintences, but became friends after meeting at a railway station in Dartford, because Richards noticed Jagger carrying an armful of blues albums.

Beastie Boys v Eminem - Duh.

Battle of the Bands (Part II)

Prodigy v The Chemical Brothers
-because I know more of their songs than those of the Chemical Bros.

Moby v Fatboyslim
-I was big into both a few years back, but now that I'm more mature, I can only stand listening to 'Play.'

Anthrax v Megadeth
-For their early 90s output. Even though Anthrax must be given credit for "Bring Da Noize."

Slayer v One Minute Silence
-I don't care much for speed metal.

Linkin Park v Lostprophets
-The real losers are the fans.    :puke:

Jamiroquai v No Doubt
-To me, Jamiroquai is still a one hit wonder ("Virtual Insanity" ).  While I don't like where No Doubt is going, I did like their early ska-punk phase.

Ministry v Fear Factory - no comment

Audioslave v Probot - no comment

Aerosmith v Van Halen
-Which VH?  With D.L.R., then VH.  With Hagar, then Aerosmith.

Extreme v Def Leppard
-Haven't heard anything from Extreme.  Wait, are they the "More Than Words" band?

Beastie Boys v Eminem
- The Beasties (usually) have constantly changed their style to fit in with the new music styles. Em's first two cds were good, but he's sucked out loud since he started rapping about how much he loves his daughter.

All Saints v The Corrs - who?

Evanescence v HIM - don't even know who "HIM" is.

Cradle of Filth v Marilyn Manson
-Don't think I've heard a CoF song. And despite his recent outings, Manson still rocks.

Pitchshifter v Tool
-see above, but Tool is perhaps my favorite heavy metal/prog act period.

The Verve v The Hives
-In the States, the Verve's career consisted of "Bittersweet Symphony."  That's all anyone knows.

Sure!  Why not?  It's all part of the fun, no?   :)

Battle of the Bands (Part II)

Prodigy v The Chemical Brothers
Prodigy win, because they've evolved their sound to suit the shifts in their fanbase.  Whereas Chemical Brothers have become formulaic (examble: obligatory colaboration with leading indie-rock artist of the time - Tim Burgess, Noel Gallagher (twice), Bernard Sumner).

Moby v Fatboyslim
Moby, for having a NineInchNails phase - see album: Animal Rights.

Anthrax v Megadeth
Close.  But Mustaine takes it, for being too rock n roll to be in Metallica.

Slayer v One Minute Silence
Have you heard Reign In Blood?

Linkin Park v Lostprophets
Close, but I'd go with The 'Park over Swansea's answer to Linkin Park.  Even though I like them both.

Jamiroquai v No Doubt
Jay Kay is a twat, and Gwen Stefani is a sexy twat.  I know which I'd prefer.

Ministry v Fear Factory
Listen to "Jesus Built My Hotrod", and you'll agree.

Audioslave v Probot
Audioslave.  Awesome debut, hope they continue.  "Cochise" is simply breathtaking.

Aerosmith v Van Halen
Aerosmith, hands down.  If Van Halen had kept Diamond Dave in the band, then it would have been closer.

Extreme v Def Leppard
Are you kidding?!  Extreme were anything but, and sucked the arse of Brian May, cashing in on post-mercury cobblers - their subsequent fall from popularity was proof.

Beastie Boys v Eminem
No contest.  The Beastie's have been cutting it for years, and Eminem needs to keep up to their standard for another ten years if he's going to compete.

All Saints v The Corrs
1) The Corrs are musicians.  2) Have you seen "Honest"?  Crap.

Evanescence v HIM
I'd wouldn't kick Amy Lee out of bed.

Cradle of Filth v Marilyn Manson
Cradle are cobblers, Manson is waaaay better.  Danny Filth loves his gran, Brian Warner loves his mum.  Bless 'em both.

Pitchshifter v Tool
This is not a fair contest, because I love them both, and I can't choose.  However, since they're doing battle, I'll go with Tool.

The Verve v The Hives
Howling Pelle has more personality in his testicle than Richard Ashcroft ever did.  Besides The Verve would never have a bass player called Dr. Matt Destruction who looked like a cross between Ron Jeremy and Barry from EastEnders.

Post by: Otis P Jivefunk on 07-23-2004 12:21

Here's my verdicts...

Prodigy v The Chemical Brothers
They’re my favorite band of all time!

Moby v Fatboyslim
Definitely Moby, his "Play" album rules. I love ‘Gangster Trippin’ by Fatboyslim, but not much else...

Anthrax v Megadeth
Very tricky, I love them both. I’ve gotta give it to Anthrax though, their "Volume 8" album is one of my faves of all time, and they’ve been consistently good ever since John Bush joined. Also, their production is much more meaty than Megadeth’s...

Slayer v One Minute Silence
Slayer, brutal thrash

Linkin Park v Lostprophets
Close call, but Linkin Park have the edge

Jamiroquai v No Doubt
Jamiroquai, I love all their albums...

Ministry v Fear Factory
Fear Factory, especially after their skull shattering return earlier this year!

Audioslave v Probot
Both are clool, but Audioslave is clooler...

Aerosmith v Van Halen
Walk this way!

Extreme v Def Leppard
When I’m in the right mood, I love them both. Def Leppard are more consistant, but when Extreme rocked, they really rocked, Warheads!

Beastie Boys v Eminem
Definitely Beastie Boys, hip hop legends. Eminem is good, but also bad too...

All Saints v The Corrs
Very tricky, but I think I’ll gonna go with the All Saints because their second album showed they were a pop band that weren’t just about singles...

Evanescence v HIM
The Evanescence songs stick to me more

Cradle of Filth v Marilyn Manson
Marilyn Manson definitely, Cradle of Filth is exactly when their name is...

Pitchshifter v Tool
I’m more of a Pitchshifter person, in some ways, the UK’s answer to Rage Against the Machine...

The Verve v The Hives
I can’t help but feel like whenever I hear a Hives song, I’ve heard it before by The Rolling Stones. I do like their energy, although I prefer The Verve

I would have also put in Mindset v Nothingface, but I figured nobody would have heard of them...

What do you think Anthrax and Medadeth are?  I'd pick Slayer, by the way.  Largely for Melllvar's reason. 

In fact, I could probably come up with an all-thrash/speed/death battle of the bands.  That would be fun.  Entombed kicks Morbid Angel, Death Angel kicks Laaz Rockit, Megadeth murders Metallica...

Well, when I think of Megadeth, I think of their early 90s work, ala "Symphony of Destruction."  To me, that's not speed metal at all, just straight up Metallica "Black Album" metal.  Anthrax is still a huge question to me, even though they did collaborate with Public Enemy.

True, most of Megadeth's 90's output wasn't speed metal at all. 1990's 'Rust in Peace' had quite a lot of speed. After that, 'The Disintegrators' from 1997's 'Criptic Writings' is full on speed metal, but other than that, it's mainly just their 80's work...

Prodigy v The Chemical Brothers
I kinda like both... But Prodigy just has great diversity.

Moby v Fatboy Slim
He's just way groovier- I like Moby, but it gets a little old a little too quickly.

Anthrax v Megadeth
Both are cool, but I don't really like Mustaine... And Anthrax has a general good sense of humor. (and they were in one of my fave Beavis & Butt-head eps)

Slayer v One Minute Silence
Don't know OMS, so Slayer it is. Slayer are great!

Linkin Park v Lostprophets
I grew out of this... None of them really work for me anymore, unless I'm driving. Then they are both really cool.

Jamiroquai v No Doubt
50/50... really. For different moods, htey are equally good.

Ministry v Fear Factory
Ministry has way better versatility (if there's such a thing with these bands) and the songs just feel better.

Audioslave v Probot
Same reason as Salyer vs. OMS. And Audioslave are truly rockin'

Aerosmith v Van Halen
Seriously- not even close. Aerosmith just rock too hard. VH were just a tad too much "hair".

Extreme v Def Leppard
I know Def Leppard better, and I just feel betterabout their songs.

Beastie Boys v Eminem
Both good, BB are just too good, chillin', groovin' and rockin' for Mr. Mathers...

All Saints v The Corrs
All Saints seems (seemed) better, but I don't really know- not my genre at all. And The Corrs' drummer can't drum for shit.

Evanescence v HIM
No doubt about it. I like HIM. Muchly. Just listen to "I've crossed oceans of wine to find you"...

Cradle of Filth v Marilyn Manson
Can't decide... I quite like both. A lot, too.

Pitchshifter v Tool
Are arguments really necessary?

The Verve v The Hives
Because of "The drugs don't work". The Hives are truly great, but they're more about fun and games.

Anthrax v Megadeth
Couldn't really say.  Not my cup of tea.

Slayer v One Minute Silence
See above.

Linkin Park v Lostprophets
I hate LP with a passion I am fairly indifferent to LP2.  Gotta go with the Welsh boys.

Jamiroquai v No Doubt
Do I need to give a reason?
Ministry v Fear Factory
Couldn't say.

Audioslave v Probot
I like Audioslave.  I have never heard Probot.

Aerosmith v Van Halen
Aerosmith are one of the bands that first got me into alt music.

Extreme v Def Leppard
Don't love either.  Def Leppard I guess though.

Beastie Boys v Eminem
The Beastie Boys are idiots.  Eminem is one of the cleverest people in pop music.

All Saints v The Corrs
All Saints have got some awesome pop songs..as have The Corrs.  Gotta just about go for AS though.  Even though they are with those twats from Oasis and The Prodigy.

Linkin Park v Lostprophets

Never heard the Lostprophets, Linkin Park I can stand in very small doses

Jamiroquai v No Doubt

Bad hats never win over hot babes, music notwithstanding  No Doubt by a mile

Ministry v Fear Factory

Ministry had one of the best between sets intermissions I ever saw.  FF = Meh

Audioslave v Probot

Probot is a good album.  Major props to DG for getting all those folks together.  Audioslave...nah.

Aerosmith v Van Halen

VH has the worst lyrics ever.  Aerosmith ain't much better.  On a musical basis, early Van Halen wins by a mile.

Extreme v Def Leppard

Def Leppard is one of the cheese hammer bands I loved when I was a teen.  The Pyromania tour was great.  Saw 'em live in '83.  Back when the drummer had two arms.  Extreme is a potent remider as to why the words funk and metal should never be spoken sequentially.

Beastie Boys v Eminem

C'mon  Beastie boys have more cred in their worn out sneaks, than M&M has in his whole Jroc wannabe image.  To think "Marshall" is trying to be taken seriously...ugh.

All Saints v The Corrs

I think they are girl pop of some varing degree...no?

Evanescence v HIM
 
Evanescence I like.  HIM I do not.


Cradle of Filth v Marilyn Manson

Don't really like either.  At leat COF is finding their way with not trying to be Black Metal anymore and going with that bombastic Uber-Goth sound that suits them much better.  I had a beer with Dani Filth and he was remarkably down to earth and really knows his metal.

I noticed that Megadeth have just re-released new remastered versions of all their 80's and 90's albums. To be blunt, the production on most of their albums is pretty terrible, especially 'Countdown to Extinction' and 'Youthanasia'. After listending to the remastered clips and comparing to the originals, the difference is quite astounding. The drums are much cleaner, without being downed in treble and symbols, and the bass much meatier. I might re-buy some of these albums, well maybe those two, as the other remastered albums sounded almost worse!...

Post by: Mouse On Venus on 08-07-2004 06:45

Prodigy v The Chemical Brothers
- The Chems vanished up their own arse with "Come With Us". At least Liam Howlett has tried to do something different with "Always Outnumbered..."

Moby v Fatboyslim
- Tough call, but Moby's back catalogue is more diverse than the Fatboy's, despite "18".

Anthrax v Megadeth
- No idea

Slayer v One Minute Silence
- Not a clue

Linkin Park v Lostprophets
- Not sure about Lost Prophets. LP are highly annoying but their sound pallette is quite varied.
 
Jamiroquai v No Doubt
- They've both raped the life out of previously credible genres - Jamiroquai with soul, No Doubt with ska - but "Deeper Underground" and "Virtual Insanity" take the cake for me. And that "It's My Life" cover is horrid.

Ministry v Fear Factory
- Beyond me.

Audioslave v Probot
- Err...

Aerosmith v Van Halen
- I like "Jump" and Halen's guitar riffs are some of the more engaging I've heard in a genre I don't usually follow.

Extreme v Def Leppard
- Umm...

Beastie Boys v Eminem
- Eminem's songs are either overly in your face or a joke you'll be sick of hearing after 3 weeks of radio play. Beastie Boys are plenty more pleasurable to listen to (most of the time).

All Saints v The Corrs
- All Saints have two fine William Orbit-produced gems under their belt - "Black Coffee" and "Pure Shores". The Corrs covered a Fleetwood Mac song and chucked a sub-Everything But The Girl beat under it. And then they made more songs.

Evanescence v HIM
- Haven't heard HIM although they'd have to be something pretty drastically bad to lose this one.

Cradle of Filth v Marilyn Manson
- Manson's just about more convincing than Cradle in his act, but not by much.

Pitchshifter v Tool
- Look how uncultured I am.

The Verve v The Hives
- I don't see how The Hives' retard-rock compares with The Verve. Same number of letters in the band name, perhaps?

I must say, I had quite the musical epiphany today.  I was flipping through the three or four music channels I have on my digital tv, but what do I come across but an actual Busted video!  Yes, Busted, the very same band that I hear so many British PEELers bitching about.  Since I wanted to appear mulit-cultural, I gave the song a shot.  Oh my god -- it's like somebody combined Good Charolette with 'N Sync.  No, not 'N Sync, they have too much vocal talent.  It's more like Good Charolette mixed with O-Town.

Because of hearing this horrible song, I have lost respect for the entire country of Great Britan, as well as the majority of its citizens.

Industrial waste? You don't think they have enough mutants? ... Okay, i'm out of ideas. Let's just dump Belgium on 'em."

LEG LATE BREAKING NEWS:
I'm off to the Leeds Festival tomorrow. I. Shall. Rock. possibly naked.

When will it all end?

Oh my god I was about to mention about that the other day but I forgot. Thanks for reminding me Impy

I think with Eamon and Franie song is enough but we don’t want to other version to Mario Winams' "I Don't Wanna Know", I bet that other version will be at number 1.

Maybe. And I agree, I know tons of people in Germany who deserve to be exposed to acoustic waste such as this.
But I also live in Germany and personally, I don't want to get ear cancer. Maybe I should just leave the country.
But then again, the music in the UK or the USA for example isn't a lot better either...

Ya know, I've been listening to this group I've discovered for myself alot lately. Theyre an indie-rock group called 'The Shins'.

My sister got me into them when she bought the soundtrack to the movie "Garden State" which had a few of their tracks on it. I gave it a listen and they sound great.

Very Dylan/BeachBoys/60's rock oriented. Great sound and awesome harmonies. I just bought their CD at Tower Records yesterday and have been playing it non-stop.

Highly recommended.

I am so uncultured. Now we have Virgin radio on at work I don't have a clue what's eating up the charts currently as they play the album chart instead. I'd just like to take my time to say that Snow Patrol suck. Why the hell are they so popular? 4 chord catchy pop rock - I could play that. Wait, I DO play that. Still... why?

No this has nothing to do with the fact that I have to hear their songs 10 times a day, really

Also I shall be not going to the Reading Festival. Instead I shall be working my arse off to serve all you bastards who are going. So from me, I hope you all have a fucking miserable time and drown or something.

Also the Reading museum has a history of the festival on, it's free entry for the 25th(?) anniversary.

The Shins are pretty good, as would be expected, since the singer (James Mercer) is a son of Brian Wilson (the Beach Boys).  Personally, I love their cd Chutes Too Narrow.  I believe they have another one out, too.

Oh, Archie, is Snow Patrol another one of those "emulating Radiohead is too hard, so let's rip off Coldplay"-type bands?

Sorry for joining late but I had a good reason (I wasn't registered untill today).

Currently listening to A.F.I. - Bleed Black, from "Sing the Sorrow" album. I believe many people here know A Flame Inside so no explanations needed.
I love too many bands to list. I used to write every new name in a text document but it grew on to be too big so I'd rather just try to remember what I heard in the last three days...
So that would be Placebo, Moby, DJ Tiesto, Golden Earring, Bloodhound Gang, Tesla, Oakenfold, Sisters of Mercy, Paralysed Age, Misfits and Basement Jaxx.

That'll be Oh, Inverted World.

Parts of Chutes Too Narrow were actually recorded in Portland, in the main singer's basement (they recently relocated to the Pacific Northwest from New Mexico, I think). I only wish I could remember where I first heard of them; in was sometime in December last year.

Good to see the new Prodigy album; 'Always Outnumbered Never Outgunned' hit the Number 1 spot in the UK album charts. Not that the charts really matter, it's just clool to see though. After an over 7 year gap, another Number 1 album to follow the previous Number 1 album, not many bands have done that... 7 years, and Number 1 albums on either side. And that's not to mention the new album was leaked online almost 2 months ago as well!...

Having just listened to it (edit: Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned), I'd have to most of the songs sound a bit the same...   :hmpf:

They all seem to have a deep beat and deep synth notes in them.

Maybe my opinion will change once I give it a few more listens.

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: Otis P Jivefunk on 09-27-2004 12:42

Most Prodigy releases are instant, this one ain't. It has to be given quite some time before getting into it. It probably sounds a bit the same to you because there's no real standout anthem bomb kinda tracks (apart from 'Girls'). It's more about layers and subtle textures which require repeat listens to appreciate, than massive big-beats that jump out instantly (the beats are damn nice though...)

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.

Anthrax have re-recorded some of their classic 80's songs, but this time with John Bush singing instead. It's a good selection, sounded quite promising, especially as I much prefer Bush. It's streamed on VH1.com, but now I've heard I won't be purchasing. I don't like the production. I wanted those classic 80's thrash riffs fat and meaty with today’s production, and better recording. I wanted the vocals separated, and I wanted the drums to be hard and punchy, lots of kick in them...

Unfortunately that isn't what's happened, it's more of a mess. I hate too much cymbal in the drums and reverb, that kills it for me. I can understand what they've gone for, the quick record it in 48 hours rough garage approach. It's not turned out as bad as Metallica's 'St Anger', which had truly dreadful production. But this is in much the same vein, and that's a style I don't care for, even if the songs are classics...

Also, Bush's singing doesn't seem to suit these songs quite as well as I'd hoped... I'll hold out for Anthrax's next proper new studio album instead...

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: Squeaky on 11-18-2004 16:25

As soon as you mentioned "St. Anger" bad, I know I'm going to stay away from this album. That's too bad because I, like you Otis, was looking foward to this Anthrax album (Well Re-production).

Heard Audioslaves new single; "Your Time Has Come". Disappointed, they've taken Metallica’s "Bad Seed" riff and copied it almost note for note. I'm not a fan of songs which steal parts from old ones. "Gasoline" off Audioslaves first album ripped the riff out of Anthax's "American Pompeii" too. However, the other new track "Be Yourself" has grown on me quite a lot, I like that track a lot now...

I think mint's taste in music is fine. Not everyone is going to go out of their way to find something different. If everyone did that, then the underground and alternative music would be what everyone knew and would hear on the radio. I think her taste is pretty good for the average casual music listener. People just like what they hear, which is fine. So what if corporate whores have molded these people, there's so much crap out there that choices are still made, and I think mint's are good given the selection...

As for spaulding, well you've got to face the fact that his tastes are in music that is easy to like. It's watered down and mostly made for money rather than the music, which is why so many people like it despite it being inferior. It's perfectly forgivable because often these songs are more catchy and enjoyable to casual music listeners, and more palatable too. They rarely want to be challenged, they want to be entertained...

My Chemical Romance is NOT metal at all. It's emo!

I only like The Cure out of that group of bands. Long live The Cure!

So because of the Cap'n's idea to play "Disgusteen" at the PEELathon, I dug out Frantic City and I been listening to it a lot.  It's an amazing album.  Really.  What was it, 1978?  Half of it sounds like it was recorded yesterday, and the other half sounds like it was recorded in 1955 by Jack Scott or somebody.  It's straight unadulterated rockabilly tracks and straight unadulterated garage punk tracks in almost strict alternation.  "Picture My Face" is probably my favourite song on the album, but there's a lot of real standout stuff on there.

My copy of Sleater-Kinney's new album, The Woods, just arrived via Amazon (because nowhere in this godforsaken city has stocked it yet.)

I've only listened to it through once, but it's a lot crunchier than their older stuff, which is nice (especially after Jack White lost his guitar on GBMS.) I'll wait til I've given it a few more listens, then perhaps post a review in the other thread. Preliminary signs are good, though.

I still hope to see Billy solo, but not for $70. If Ebay can provide me with some tickets for less than that then I'll go, but I don't have $70, and I already scabbed off my parents to see Sigur Ros the week after.

alex, i don't have $70 either... NIN came along first...

I pulled out my old cure cds... god damn those guys were awesome. their show in 2001 was wicked even if they played songs from bloodflowers... bleh..

Post by: Pikka Bird on 06-23-2005 05:38

Bloodflowers was a pretty good album, I think. It was depress-o-rama, but good none the less.

@Alex: How fast did the Sigur Rós tickets sell out? I didn't stand a chance when they were released here.

pikka, i adore their happier yet nostalgic album Wish.
I listened to that entire album while on a train through Austria.. damn me for only taking that cd.

Post by: Pikka Bird on 06-23-2005 05:46

I think their upbeat stuff is really great. The Love Cats is wonderful.
I'm getting a little weary with Friday I'm In Love, though it is still a good song.
I guess Cut Here is my The Cure "anthem", mostly because of some backstory I have that involves that song (and that B/W picture of me and my moped).
But I'm not really a super-fan or anything. I just appreciate their music from time to time. Kinda like I feel about Depeche Mode, though I could probably listen to most of 'Ultra' at almost any time.

ooh yes...pretty picture that one...
mine's "from the edge of the deep green sea"... ever since i saw them in 2001...i was standing next to a couple who were dancing with eachother both singing that song.
it was hauntingly sweet.. i wish i'd taken a picture.

Well, I got them in the afternoon (I was at school and my slave parents were at work when they went on sale) at about 4pm (on sale at 9am). I didn't get the greatest seats, and I don't think there were too many left, and I heard it was all sold out by the end of the day.

So, not particularly quickly, but still, sold out in one day is an achievement. Oasis sold out in 8 minutes, and I was lucky that they added another show.

I didn't know there was such a following for Sigur Ros here, though. Never heard them mentioned at all.

it would be interesting to see what sort of sound the pumpkins have if they do reform. would the go back to their siamese dream, mellon collie sound or continue from their later stuff. or would it be completely new?

I hope they don't go as fast here... I'm trying to get tickets to an NYC show or Philly show... for some reason it can't be done... I'm not sure if the tickets are already sold out, or haven't yet been sold at all...

That is about all going on music wise for me it seems, not much good music lately...  :p

Dillinger Escape Plan
Shellac
Joy Division
Judas Priest
...and a bit of Mastodon, though they've lost me a bit on the studio recordings since I saw them live. They're several lightyears ahead of themselves when you compare the live performance to the albums.

Agreed but it was actually the new stuff from their latest album that got me into them....but fear not I've since purchased all of their back catalogue (bar their debut album) and basked in the glory of their earlier days....

So I just heard Dungen's new album.  Why didn't anybody tell me about these guys?  They're really cool.  Like... the Swedish Jethro Tull.  You Scandinavians know I need to be informed about all cool Swedish bands, right?

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: evan on 07-25-2005 23:02

Aren't all Scandanavian bands like Jethro Tull? Honestly, it seems that every band from Sweden* to Denmark is some sort of dark, foreboding, black metal band with a catalog full of brooding hyperfast odes to Satan or hellfire or something. Where are the Swedish alt. folk musicians? Or the Norwegian rappers? I suppose there must be something about being trapped in a dark barren wasteland for 9 months, but stop it with the death metal, okay?

*Please excuse Abba and the Hives.

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: canned eggs on 07-25-2005 23:23

Uhhh... what?

a: Jethro Tull is not black metal, nor dark, nor foreboding.
b: Black metal is "originally" Norwegian.  There's only one or two Swedish black metal bands.
c: Dungen may conceivably be described as alt. folk.  They got flutes and fiddles and shit.
d: What the hell are you talking about?  Sweden is full of original, non-dark Rock & Roll bands like the Hellacopters and the Nomads, and Sahara Hotnights.

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: SpacemanSpiff on 07-26-2005 04:29

As far as I know, both Norway and Sweden have a very active rap scene, however, as I'm not much into rap, I don't know any artists. I just recenly saw a documentary about Scandinavian rap, that's all.
Someone get Codefish in here, he should be able to name some.

Also, from what I gathered, Sweden has been producing lots of The-Hives-style bands lately, not death or black metal. Case in point: Mando Diao. Also, lots of other bands I've forgotten again.
As for Norway: Gluecifer aren't metal. Motorpsycho are, amazingly enough, not metal. Briskeby is pretty much just pop. Royksopp or Kings Convenience are damn far away from metal.

In short, the Scandinavian music scene is more diverse and creative than, say, the German one. Despite the fact that Germany has about four times the inhabitants Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland have combined.

I'm listening to some 69 Eyes,  because they're from Finland, and I like bands from Finland, and they're playing in SF soon, so I wanted to see if they were worth seeing.

They're not.  I mean, they're not terribly bad; they're just some horrorpunk band that appeals to preteens and Bam Margera.  But the fact that this sound still exists is interesting, because I haven't listened to this genre before.  I mean, I figured these horrorpunk bands all sounded like the Misfits, and they do; in fact in some ways they sound more like the Misfits than the Misfits did, but there's so much weird early goth smoke-machine-and-messianic-pose influence in the stupid synthesizers and the low-gain guitar and the heavy breathing and strings and churchbells and out of place Gregorian chants that I can't imagine anyone taking it seriously.  But I have the feeling that since I stopped paying attention, every band in the world started sounding exactly like this.  How the hell did people wearing eyeshadow make it on to Headbanger's Ball?  Where did this scene come from?  Why doesn't every band in Finland sound more like the Flaming Sideburns?

You kids and your music, I swear.

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: SpacemanSpiff on 01-13-2006 10:31

Canned Eggs, you should listen to Hot Snakes instead.
You like garage-ish punk rock, right?

Okay, from what I've seen they're usually classified as post-punk/post-hardcore, but it's way too straight for that. Plus they're just plain awesome, no matter the genre.

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: canned eggs on 01-15-2006 11:27

OK, I "acquired" some and yeah, they're pretty good.  They don't sound like a hardcore band; they sound like the New Bomb Turks or some garage band like that.

My guitar player told me he found a CD version of The Radiators From Space's Ghostown at the record store.  It's been rereleased, I guess.  Rock & Roll!  I would drown a sack of puppies for that album.

@Eggs: I don't think I can easily define "the kind of stuff I'd dig", because it'd take an aeon to get around it... But I think we're talking about the same band. Ever since I got my mp3 player, I don't think I've ever left them out completely when loading it up. Tell them they kick ass.

Did they ever have a single out, because I have a feeling I've heard Cats and Sparrows on the radio or as background music in some documentary, but that's before I got into them, so I can't really tell for sure.

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: canned eggs on 02-27-2006 19:19

Holy Lord Almighty, it is the same band.  Crazy.  I nearly ran over the singer yesterday.

They just recorded a new album like two weeks ago.  Expect it in about a month.  So says the bass player.

They've had radio airplay only locally.  They sneak in a couple retitled covers; Tooth Hurty, for example, is a Bob Dylan song called, I believe, Ring Them Bells.  Cats and Sparrows could be one; I dunno.

Where the hell did you find out about this band?

I think someone posted a link to the Tooth Hurty song when someone told the joke with the chinaman and the dentist. And the rest is history.

Post by: canned eggs on 02-27-2006 23:47

That was me.  With the stupid joke. 

Meh, I still think the band hasn't lived up to Black Hair yet.  They've gone too Santa-Cruz-hippie-jam-band.  I'll let you know how they are when they start playing live again.

I do think it's impressive, however, that a band who once had a legitimate chance to be signed decided to put like eight albums on the internet for free and make no money at all.

They're a British duo called "The Boy Least Likely To". I read about them in a tiny article in Rolling Stone magazine who called them one of the 10 Artists to Watch in 2006.

They play the most absurdly cute and addictive music. Song titles include "Be Gentle With Me", "Fur Soft as Fur", and "Warm Panda Cola". They sound like they're played on  children's instruments and the harmonies are just so damn adorable.

It's like fucking crack. Listen to their sample songs on myspace. Its so fucking good.

I haven't seen many BTM's but that one was a real insight to a band that I only knew most of the music side , and not the in depth , troublesome side. If that makes sense. Just goes to show you that everything doesn't run smoothly in the music business.

Well, I was a fan.  I do have Damageplans album too.

Most of the BTMs I've seen have always been pretty good.  Panteras was the best because of the stuff which happened to them.  Basically the more tragic the career, the better the documentary.  :D

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: CrapBag on 05-20-2006 10:40

damageplan can not compare to Pantera

I like ACDC's Behind The Music, cause they're one of my favorite bands. pretty tragic too, the whole loss of Bon Scott

I don't like Pantera. I like James Blunt, McFly, and Sean Paul. 2Pac was a great loss to music.

Those who know me will know this isn't true. I'm just saying it in an attempt to make Bean^3's head explode. After all how could anyone not like Pantera. Oh wait, I actually don't. I do like them for inspiring Nerf Herder's Pantera Fans in Love though. Perhaps one of the funniest songs I know. Also see, Nerf Herder's 'Van Halen'. Best parody ever.

I've been listening to alot of Derek and the Dominos lately.

For those who don't know, it's the group Eric Clapton founded after Cream broke up which included the late, great Duane Allman from the Allman Brothers.

They only released one album, "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs" before they disbanded after the death of Allman, but it's regarded as one of the most incredible albums ever. And yes, this is the album with the famous song "Layla" on it.

If any of you havent heard of this band, or never heard any of their music, go listen to it, it's easily on par with the best Cream ever recorded...

Squeaky- Bodom is shit, they are not metal. ZP Theart can actually sing, instead of screaming into the mic like those shitty death metal singers. Dragonforce is nothing like Children of Bodom, besides the shredding guitars

DragonForce is a fucking badass british metal band, they are on the mainstage for OzzFest so they have to kick ass.

Lamp- I like all the songs off Sonic Firestorm.
If you are a guitar player, then I insist you listen to anything by them. Their interludes are better than most professional guitarests solos.

Lets just say that the tab for Fury of The Storm is 76 pages long (dual guitar parts).

What about Primal Fear or Three Inches of Blood, anyone like them?

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.

You know, I listened to Psyopus again not too long ago and I found it to be unlistenable. They're playing here in August and I may check them out anyway, but my god are they annoying. I guess my tastes have just shifted.

If I want metal, I'd rather listen to gore metal shit like Exhumed or Splatterhouse or something like that. It's raw, messy, and sloppy. Not technical shitfaggotry like power metal.

And I may play guitar but that doesn't mean I'm going to listen to guys who are talented if they don't have good songwriting ability and instead just play a bunch of random solo crap to impress losers.

Lampy is right. Do you even know what Emo is? I'm not a particular fan of the stuff, but you're just spouting random crap here. You talk about how DragonForce's guitarists will be legends in 20 years, but to be honest their playing is nothing special. I'm not saying they don't make good music (I'm not going to comment on that), merely that the guitarists aren't particularly stunning.

Playing notes very fast isn't good guitar playing. Sure, it may be technically good, but just because you can move your fingers very quickly doesn't make you a good guitar player. In 20 years they won't be legends because they'll be other people who can play the guitar just as fast around. Now, Jeff Beck, Pat Metheny, BB King - in 20 years, they'll still be legends.

Yeah, Spiff, you left out your compatriots in Kurt, and if you consider Rorschach and Uranus to be emo, then why not add Orchid!, whose label even claimed they were emo.  I didn't understand why until I heard their gatefold album.  Shudder.

I agree with Lampy's characterization of Rorschach (and Uranus) as metalcore, or at least as... whatever you'd call the Bremner hardcore scene from the mid '90s.  Acme and Carol and Moerser and Systral and them.  That was the natural heir to Rorschach and Uranus.  And I wouldn't call them Emo.  Wrong lyrical theme, at least.

I've seen Rorschach and Uranus classified as emo, and Orchid as well (which I simply forgot). I think Uranus actually called themselves emo. It's sort of hard for me to understand as well, but I figured that the music does convey strong emotions, so it would fit somehow.
If you just go by the lyrics, most of the San Diego scene wouldn't fit, save for Drive Like Jehu. And Kurt lyrics aren't whiny either, at least the ones I know.

And the reason I left them out is because I forgot about them. I haven't listened to them in quite a while.

Emo is, more than any other genre term I know, very imprecise and refers to a wide range of music, simply because there are too many factors that apparently qualify a band to be emo. If you just go by the lyrics, tons of other bands qualify as well. Dillinger Escape Plan (43% Burnt) or Mínus (Pulse) come to mind, and both are definitely some sort of hardcore.

Dillinger Escape Plan is NOT hardcore. Not even close. DEP doesn't have anything to do with core at all really. Just straight up math metal.

Hardcore is punk. End of story.

Post by: SpacemanSpiff on 07-01-2006 04:07

Everytime I tell that to someone who is a huge fan of metal as in black or death, he'll try to strangle me, insisting that DEP is, apart from being shit (that's his opinion at least), everything but metal.
If you take the term hardcore as it originated in the 80s, then yeah, DEP aren't. But I think hardcore also broadened.

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: canned eggs on 07-01-2006 09:10

DEP emerged out of the hardcore scene, rather than the metal scene.  Their fans had shaved heads and listened to Rorschach.  Or gg allin.  The kids with long hair who listened to Slayer weren't interested.  So I'd call them post-hardcore or something like that just ontologically, rather than musically.  And I think that's actually more important in genre classification.  You got to look at who's going to the shows, and who the band is listening to in their down time.

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: TheLampIncident on 07-01-2006 12:30

I think basing a band's genre on anything but what they sound like is ridiculous. I don't care what you look like, I don't care who you listen to, I don't care who your fanbase listens to. If you play metal, you're a metal band.

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: canned eggs on 07-01-2006 20:15

Well, I wouldn't use the word "ridiculous," but I concede the point, in that that's my principal argument against the categorization of, say, Sgt. Pepper as a Rock & Roll album, because it has absolutely no Rock & Roll on it, even though it's by a band ostensibly in the Rock & Roll scene, but the fact on the ground is that genres, as they are publicly defined, are more a matter of mutual influence than raw sound. 

Although on the metal/hardcore front, the lines are so blurred, it hardly makes a difference which you classify yourself as.  Look at Napalm Death.  Or S.O.D.

Ngeh.  Genres are a headache.  That's why my band is its own genre.

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: TheLampIncident on 07-01-2006 21:21

Napalm Death pretty much just sounds like grind to me. I'm not too familiar with them, but I guess their sound got different apparently, so who knows.

S.O.D. is crossover to me.

Yeah, really I believe Paul will be the first one to go, however horrible that must sound. Personally, I think he looks a bit worse for wears despite his recent conversion to vegetarianism. Ringo still looks very healthy, despite his massive intake of cocaine in the 1980s.

Most recent picture of the Fab 2:

But really, I dont have any worries about either of them passing away for a long while. Unlike George did, neither have any serious health problems, and I can easily see them living into their late 70s, early 80s.

I mean, consider that we still have guys like Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Les Paul, and BB King still around, and they all still tour regularily!

My guess: Like all Axl's previous hired goons, he got fed up with the little narcissistic primadonna, made like a tree and split.

Also, different. Different than Slash. Not better. Maybe he can do fast licks, maybe he spans a wide variety of styles. But Slash has mojo, and his music has more of a soul. Also, the masquerade is getting old. Lose it, Mr. Head.

Seriously, it's overly pathetic, cheesy, pretentious pop music and nothing more. And no, it's not rock, no matter how hard you want it to be. Frankly, I feel insulted everytime I have to listen to one of their songs.

Just like Muse.

They're not bad, but I do think they're extremely overrated. People seem to hold them as one of the most talented bands in the world. Oh, and people saying they're better than Nirvana. Bless 'em. hey, while we're at it, any other bands that are nowhere near as good as their status indicates? I'd say U2, the Sex Pistols, Green Day, the Arctic Monkeys and Oasis.

What is breakcore? Dumbified definition: combinations of music genres, often mixing the hardest of the hardest.( death metal , hardcore techno , punk, drum n bass, whatever)
It mostly emerged from the Berlin underground and the US, with some artists based in Belgium and Bristol, UK.

also breakcore def = Breakcore is a loosely defined electronic music style that brings together elements of industrial, jungle, hardcore techno and IDM into a breakbeat-oriented sound that encourages speed, complexity, impact and maximum sonic density. Similar to punk or jazz music, breakcore adheres to a loose set of stylistic 'rules' and is maybe defined more by an attitude then by a musical formula.

Maybe I'm forgetting something, but I can't think of another 2006 release I bought.

I think Absolution was an indication that the path they were on had ended and there wasnt really anything new there to explore, so the new album had to change things and go somewhere different. I like it, it definately takes some getting used to.

BATTLES - 'EP C/B EP'. Although it's just a combination of two previous works, this is the first time they've been easily available.

Mogwai - 'Mr. Beast'. This is my favourite release from these guys. Love this album.

Cat Power - 'The Greatest'. Every release from Chan is beautiful. Whilst this album may not top 'You Are Free' in my honest opinion, it's got serious replay-value (particulary the song "Could We"..)

A new album called 'Saturday Night Wrist' is on the cards. The date on this site is 31/10/06 (expect it a day earlier in the UK). Wether that's true or not I don't know, but the song is the real deal so it's on it's way...

Spiff, of the new TMV stuff I've heard, it was pretty straight, not proggy, and the new album is not a concept.

The new Deftones will be the first one without Terry Date, as far as I know.  I think Bob Ezrin (of Pink Floyd's The Wall fame) is doing it.

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: bart182 on 08-21-2006 23:14

Shaun Lopez (Far, Rev Smile) is doing it. Bob started doing it, but Chino and Bob did not get along at all. Abe didn't like him either. Stef and Chi got along with him, I think.
Anyway, after that, the band took a break, started self producing it, and then got help from Shaun Lopez to finish it up. I think at one point they got a little help from Terry, but not enough to even give credit for.

As for the new song: it's awesome.

It's a shame about Terry Date, maybe with their last album they felt they pushed the production as far as they could with Terry (it does have the most supreme production of any rock/metal album I've heard). This new song still has the Deftones signiture sound and production, but it is a little different. I'd need to hear it on my hi*fi instead of crappy computer speakers for a real test though...

Yeah sounds good, quite KoRnish riffs. Pity the new album's not out till next year, should be worth the wait though...

Maybe I'm forgetting something, but I can't think of another 2006 release I bought.

Maybe the new Tool or the new The Mars Volta albums, but I'm not that into prog right now.

Everything else was mostly overrated, horrible shit.

i think i agree.. the only releases this year (so far) that really moved me to buy were Rather Ripped by Sonic Youth, Cat Power- The Greatest, and Tool's 10,000 Days. I've thought about The Eraser, but even that isn't so interesting.  I thought about Stadium Arcadium as well, but blew that off mostly because i feel it's being overrated and it's kind of.. boring, i guess. (I'm still meaning to listen to the new Mogwai.. i'm busy!)

looking forward to some new deftones, however.. thanks for the info.

I was thinking Metallica.  Seeing as LP toured with them lots, maybe bits rubbed off on them.  Either way, new song sounds encouraging, and Rick Rubin will make it sound awesome.

I hear Dave Mustaine is releasing another album, but using the name Megadeth even though he replaced everyone(actually, he does that almost every album), just like he did with The System has Failed, but thats still a kick ass metal album.
Anyway, I heard it was scheduled for Halloween, but has been pushed back to 2007.

AHHHH! what am I saying?
I forgot that the new BLS album comes out in only a couple days. Shot to Hell.
Can't wait, although I wasnt a huge fan of Mafia, I tend to lean towards Black Labels older stuff. None the less it was a good album still.
the cover is pretty sweet too

I heard a new Megadeth album was in the pipeline which surprised me as I'd read around the time the last album came out it'd be the last under the Megadeth name. The System Has Failed was their best album in a decade though. As for the new one it won't be too hard to wait because I don't have high expectations despite their last album being so good...

The new Audioslave album is good, nice and funky...

*shurgs at Tool*. Not really that enthused. Is the new TMV out in Aus yet?
Standout album of the year for me is easily Augie March's Moo, you bloody choir. I realise that One Crowded Hour is getting raped by shitty commercial radio (6 months on from the release, no less), but the album still kicks ass.
Black holes and Revealtions is OK. It has  moments, but I prefer absolution etc more. Starlight is a beautiful and catchy song. I'm just happy that the album release is bringing muse to my country.

I geeked out on youtube all afternoon, originally looking for Joey Hand's Grand Am Cup crash, but I found the greatest piece of video in the history of recorded information (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WNKUOCO13s).  If anyone ever wondered why I'm obsessed with Guitar Wolf, this is why.  This is them doing a nine minute cover of the MC5's "Kick Out The Jams" during the Dallas stop on the same US tour that I saw them on.  Watch it.

Things to watch for: Seiji pulling a guy out of the audience, hanging his guitar on him, and making him play, which he also did during this song when I saw them live; some guy in the audience pouring a beer down Bass Wolf's throat while he's still playing (you have to drink, by the way...); Drum Wolf taking a break to comb his hair (you have to drink, by the way...); Bass Wolf asking the audience for a joint; and Seiji shouting at his impromptu guitarist to "JUMP!"

Pasty, here's an idea...

How about for next years' PEELathon, we set up a gig, your band plays, and I bring The Murderhouse over with me.  If we could set up the PEELathon for the Fall (or whenever), that would be cool.

We've joked about having a gig in New York, and for some reason, I'd like to make it come true.

@Melllvar: Dude, that's an awesome idea.

January is when my band is getting back together after our fall hiatus, and it'd be great to play for all our PEELer friends from Australia and beyond. I was planning on having a gig during the time you're staying anyway, and this would be a huge bonus.

So the CDs I ordered have finally arrived. And now I can safely say: The new Daughters album is awesome.
Imagine Arab on Radar meets The Locust and then throw in some weird-ass Japanese Band and The Flying Luttenbachers for good measure. Disturbing, good and quite possibly the most innovative hardcore release of the year.
And there's no screaming on the entire album.

I might actually write a review for that one...

Bare in mind that this would be an idea for the full PEELathon, next year, not January, it's too soon to organise getting Dave and Suzy to save for January.

Sure, I'd be up for you guys playing, and hell, I'd love to get up and do a couple of songs with you, that would be great.  Stuff that's certainly worth thinking about.

When I was hanging out with him a few weeks ago at a concert of his, he said that it's going to be a double album, the first disc being the songs, and the second being short films which he produced and directed, corresponding to each track.

If any of you havent seen it yet, check out the trailer for the album to see what some of the films will look like and to hear some of the amazing music on the LP:

It is that bad, and you know it. I don't mind when people try bending the genre, but this guy only added nothing to the song but a gigantic dose of that obnoxious thing he used to think was punk. He probably still does. When someone thinks he can outperform Jim Morrison by bleaching his hair, putting on a Sid Vicious sneer and distorting the guitars slightly, then I'm seeing red. Especially since everything Billy Idol ever did to toughen up his image only made him look like more of a phlegm-faced little shithead rich kid.

Actually, I like covers that are not in the same genre, provided they're well done. Botch's cover of Rock Lobster for example, or Rapeman's cover of Just Got Paid. The latter being clearly the best cover ever.

Pikka, don't be stupid.  As far as I know, none of those bands exist.  and it's clear that the worst cover ever is Mariah Carey's cover of Def Leppard's Bringin' on the Heartbreak.  I've been over this before.

Once I got over the hilarity of her covering Slayer and Eminem, I actually grew to like both those covers, along with the rest of "Strange Little Girls", especially Enjoy The Silence.

Look man, The Clash were the best thing to ever come out of Punk. I think they have some amzing talent while the Ramones really just suck. I am amazed how they ever got a record deal in the first place.

And to include them on the list of 300 greatest songs is disrespectul to all those great bands on there who actually tried to do make something out of them selves, and not just play it off as a joke.

Do you remember how you dropped off Nasty's radar a while back? You're barely pinging on mine now as well... Yeah, The Clash were great, but do I need to remind you that had it not been for The Ramones, The Clash might very well not have gotten a contract, and that Strummer's all-star band The Mescaleros often closed the show with Blitzkrieg Bop?

Really, I can't figure out how you judge music. The Clash's songs didn't require an immense musical gift to play, and neither did those of The Ramones, but if The Ramones hadn't invented the style, nobody could have copied it, see? Johnny Ramone's style of playing (exclusively playing 8th note powerchords (all downstrokes)) was the first major revolution in rock n' roll for years, and (to play the golden racist card) the first major reinvention of the genre made by a white man (first non-blues incarnation of rock).

I sure would like to hear exactly why you think The Clash are so much better than The Ramones...

I dont care what anyone says, I don't give much, if any credit to the Ramones for making Punk. Honestly, 90% of Punk I can't stand. The Clash could write, and they could play instruments pretty well.
And it pisses me off whenever I hear someone rambling on about how the ramones created Punk.
You might not think the Clash are better than The Ramones (if you don't, then you probably have half a brain), But I like them a hell of a lot more.

@Rob doesn't like me anymore? I guess I didn't get the hint when he IM's me all the time.

Oh lord, don't start down that road. I tried being all "differenty" for a while before I realised what a hypocrite I was. These days I like what I like because I like it, whether that be Fatboy Slim, Jimi Hendrix and Rage Against the Machine or bands at the complete other end of the spectrum like Tinariwen, The Kalahari Surfers and the Sugar Creek Trio.

They really can't be "non-mainsteam" if the mainstream is listening to them.

What Archie was talking about was the upsurgance of 'Indie' bands getting a whole lot of exposure in the press. I guess. Or not. I don't know about Archie anymore.. We don't talk like we use to.

'Indie' bands that Triple J/RRR/etc like to peddle and shove down any individual's ear canal really aren't worth the effort to seek out: It's probably just some disenfranchised 19 year old girl with an acoustic guitar singing about the War on Terror and how it affects her ultra-Postmodernist lifestyle (sleeping bags, etc).

I like bands that push themselves and have something to offer: Concepts, etc. Screw timelines and strict codes on whether or not the band you're interested in gives credit to Kafka for kicking arse in their CD booklet notes. I was once switching between Pan Sonic and Bruce Springsteen (Nevada, FYI).

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: Nasty Pasty on 10-02-2006 17:53

*high fives Ribbons on his choice of the Nevada album*

Carrying over the Clash-Ramones debate from the previous page, I find it really hard to compare the two because their styles are so incredibly different. In many cases I don't even consider the Clash as a stereotypical "punk" band (same league with Green Day). They were really the first band of that era to stray from the three-chord formula which others like The Pistols and Ramones stuck to, not to mention they also added reggae elements into alot of their stuff. I will also say that they are much more musically talented than other punk band (just listen to their incredible "London Calling" LP and disagree with that statement, I dare you) and they're lyrics are a bit more mature and deal with political issues in some songs (once again, like Green Day).

The Ramones on the other hand are what I consider to be the quintessential punk band of the 70s and 80s. Their songs are short, fast, hard bursts of three-chord rock with simple lyrics and hacksaw guitars. And the songs don't deal with real pressing social issues and that crap, they're about adolesance, boredom, having fun, randomness and anger towards the ruling class of popular music. I mean, for god's sake, they wrote a song called "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue". And although I think that the Clash are far better musically than the Ramones, I still love this band dearly for what they are. In the same way that I love to sit down and listen to Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" and then go to a Kiss concert.

To be confined to one music genre, or to catagorize an entire style on one band is the death of music itself, and one must listen to the entire libary in each genre to truely get the scope of it.

*gets of his soapbox*

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: Pikka Bird on 10-02-2006 19:25

Nasty: You are certainly not mistaken about that (all of it). The Clash did break the genre and made some creative arrangements and some of it did reach stellar heights (I don't know much about the musicianship- I never really listened to The Clash to nitpick, but the arrangements are what stick out to me), but The Ramones weren't about that stuff, as you and I both have said (I think the most impressive part of their music is the wrist stamina required for such relatively simple riffs).

I could have sworn you have been hating me for a couple of monthes now.

Say what? Then apparently I haven't even paid attention to myself lately. Sounds like me, though. I'm fairly easy to distract. I have nothing against you, really, but you push a button when you do that thing I'm gonna talk to next. Lots of people do that, by the way.

What I am talking about isn't that different from what I do, apparently, though I try not to apply it to things that have to do with common sense. Because when there is a band you don't care particularly for, you seem to say that such-and-that-band is made of suck and shit instead of saying "I don't care much for that band". It happened when we were talking about Slash, and you took Buckethead's side (different, not better, remember? (that's what I was talking about with the Pastry thing, BTW. I have no idea what your relationship with him is other than that).

And like it or not, The Ramones did create that guitar style, and the sole fact that you think another band does it better than someone who came before (I like The Clash a lot too (maybe Strummer solo even more), ya know, though I'm no expert on the field) doesn't quite justify calling the other band shitty. Not in my book, at least. For instance, I know it's all trendy to say that Nickelback are the crappiest band to walk the globe, when in fact they're no worse than just plain boring, and that's not a mortal sin. Similarly, I like classical music, and can appreciate that Mozart was quite the genious, though I find his music a yawnfest.

There are a ton of bands who I feel have a lot of talent, but I personally can't stand(Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, CSN). And if I think a band has a single ounce of talent, I will tell you. Such as The Killers, a band most metal heads think suck, but I love them because unlike 90% of new music, they have a reason to be famous.

Alright Pikka, The only thing I'm not willing to give you is that Johnny Ramone created the 8th notes power chord playing style. Only because I have heard the exact same style played plenty of times by artists such as The Cars.

True, he didn't invent the power chord or the eighth or anything like that, but he (they) "invented" the genre that used it exclusively without even a single shred of blues influence and nary a guitar solo.

And oh, about my listening to "underground" stuff, that's not really deliberate. I listen to lots and tons of stuff that people can't tell you afst enough how much they suck they think it is. I'm talking about stuff like Lifehouse, Alanis Morissette, Roxette, and even Blink 182 and Sum 41 (but those two are probably the only ones I care for on that branch of music). I don't listen to music for any one reason particularly, and I am in it both for the virtuoso stuff, the energetic/aggressive stuff, the cacophonic noise, the emotionally dense stuff, plain good melodies, nice voices, etc. In my hunt for whatever pleases my ears I go everywhere and sometimes end up in some weird underground-ish places or certain radio-friendly territories (rarely onto the chart-oriented stuff, though. It tends to lack the kind of substance I'm after), but I've never felt the need to defend my record collection to anyone, because I can't be arsed. I know people who go into the underground just to be able to play the alterna-card, and I think they are quite ridiculous, and as a partial consequence thereof, I've kinda just settled on having this weird-arsed mish-mash of a hybrid taste in music.
I'm certain that if you ask Squealy, he'll give you an opinion that's very close to mine.

Well I guess if you don't count the Clash as a 'Typical Punk Band', then this wont matter. But some of their solos are right off some of the blues scales(I Fought The Law). I still think they are much better than the average Punk musicians.

And on a similare note. I find it funny that someone most people consider to be the 'Father of punk' is actually a Conservative Republican(Johnny Ramone).

Meh. Punk was created out of the smoldering remains of failed socialist economic policy in the UK 70s. In the series The War of the World, historian Niall Ferguson draws parallels between The Clash and Margaret Thatcher. All were based on a sense that everything before had gone wrong and needed radical change. It's not such an absurd notion.

Even if punks tend to have these ridiculous pro-statist opinions, true anarchy could be best described as libertarianism taken to the nth degree. True anarcho-capitalism as it were. Remove the state and people won't live in harmony, they'll live for business.

There's no good conservative poetry. We established that already. Same goes for music. There's only fascist music on the right of centre. There's good reason for that. The plight of the worker makes for good lyrics. The plight of economics don't.
"Well he's drunk and doesn't speak a lot of English so I don't think he'll understand much"

The plight of trying enforce Judeo-Christian morality through law makes for the most hideous moralistic and sappy rhyming couplet poetry that makes you want to barf. Standing up to that is too cliche. It's so difficult trying to be alternative.

I never said that there were any Conservative Punk Bands, I just said that the only way to go against the social grain would be to write a pro-Bush punk song/album.

I really do agree though with what you mentioned about politics ovetaking popular music. For the most part, I do believe that most of the political-based songs of the current music generation are complete shit. While I do think that musicians need to voice their opinions when it comes to important events like wars and elections, but when it completely overtakes the music itself with cliché "0MG!

Crapbag, that's good that you enjoy the new Pearl Jam record. However, I'm still unsure about it because I did get a chance to catch the live performance they did on VH1 in July that featured most of the album; let's just say this. The music is ok, but Vedder's post song "Bush this and Bush that... Fight the machine grr..." rants got old, and I ended up being turned off by the album. Although, I have to say that song "Life Wasted" is one of my favorite Pearl Jam songs now.

The anti-Bush routine has been used up and it's tired, please Vedder and the rest of Pearl Jam go back to the days of Ten... Please.

Another topic, yes, I can back Pikka's claim on taste in music. I like all music, if it appeals to me (Keyword= me) I'll listen to it, even if it's Brittany Spears, which I can't say that any of her stuff has caught my attention nor does it have a spot in my record collection (I did find her hot, when I was ten). Here's my point, I'm not like some people that I know, that if the music doesn't have some level of obscurity it's not cool. What? That's just silly, I don't listen to music because I want to be trendy or hip, I listen because it moves me or makes me think.

If you don't like the bands that I listen too, fine. Doesn't offend me, I'll keep on listening to them anyway. Besides, I stopped wanting to be cool a long time ago anyways.

Also, been deeply into the latest Our Lady Peace song "Kiss on the Mouth", which is being released with their "Decade" album, mostly a mix of best-ofs with a couple new tracks. Yaaaaay!

Another PEEL couple?

Anyway, first BDO lineup out. I'm not all that enthused. Yes to muse, not really interested to everything else. The addition of My Chemical Romance makes me die a little inside.

I've already got tickets to see Muse, so basically I'm only going to attend BDO should I be able schnavel some backstage passes from work.

Post by: rach_the_tall on 10-09-2006 19:15

Schnavel? I'm stealing that word. Also, work gets you BDO tickets? Hm, handy.
Muse haven't announced any WA shows yet, so it looks like BDO for me. It's always a good day out, anyway. I'm hoping that Bloc Party will jump on board, along with someone else cool to heighten my enthusiasm. My favourite Australian acts of the moment (that are likely to tour), The Grates and Augie March aren't on the lineup... yet.

What the hell happened to DJ Shadow? His latest album "The Outsider" sounds like commercialized hip-hop. Plus, there's even "hey-everybody's-doing-it-so-lets-follow" bush bashing songs. Then again, Shadow did say that this album would be musically different from previous outings.

I guess it's time to revisit the world of instrumental bands.

I am casually enjoying the guy's music, meaning I won't change the channel when his songs come on. There's no revolution in his music or anything, but there doesn't have to be as long as it's good and sound stuff and it catches my fancy. As I said before, I'm all into some stuff that will get me tagged as "not wit' it, yo" (Lifehouse and Alanis Morissette, for instance).

Mayer doesn't quite stick out much in my musical landscape, but he doesn't annoy me at all either. Approv'd.

Maiden comprise more of my CD collection than any other artist. Got everything up til '88 except the first self-titled album. Following Seventh Son they went all wierd and dark. Fear of the Dark isn't nearly as good despite having Afraid To Shoot Strangers on it.

Maiden have also played Reading three times. '80, '82, and '05 when I saw them. Worth the £67 for the day's ticket without a doubt.

Iron Maiden also played a friendly football match against Estonia. All of Maiden being huge football fans of course. Is it Murray who has the custom made Aston Villa shirt? Melll?

The cover of the single for Sanctuary originally comprised of a slain Margaret Thatcher having been killed by Eddie for the crime of tearing down a Maiden poster. The band relented and covered "Thatcher"'s eyes with a black band to protect identity.

In other news, why have I only just been made aware of Propagandhi? And they're playing London not too far from now. Bristol too. which poor PEELer shall I drag to hide-out-in-the-woods nuts live act?

Rock in Rio is also a live album worth buying.

And I have established that I think Bruce Dickinson is the, without a doubt, the greatest vocalist to ever walk among us mortals, and it beats me how the band could ever replace him for that short period of time he was gone. But I have to admit, I like a Blaze Bayley song, Futureal.

On the subject of Iron Maiden, I would like to state that every member in the band is a hero of mine. Steve Harris I consider to be one of the greatest bassists ever. Nick McBrain is an amazing drummer. And besides Tony Iommi, no other guitarists have influenced my playing style quite like Adrian and Dave have.
God, I could go on about how much I love Iron Maiden for hours.

Props to Pikka for haveing Rancid on his list.

While we're waxing lyrical about Maiden, I have to say, I've loved Maiden for the fuckin' ages man!  First Metal band I was into.  Around the time of Seventh Son, and I was totally into Live After Death, and Somewhere In Time (still one of my favourite Maiden albums).

Rock In Rio is amazing as a DVD (hmm, it should go in the Longform Music Releases thread, but only I'm posting there.  :()

Nicko was a huge inspiration too.

I saw them on the "early days" tour, at Leeds and I regressed back to age 16 forthe 2 hours they were on.  :D

I can't figure out what to make of CoF... I mean, they are clearly not musically inept (Gian Pyres was the better one, but he left a few years back. To concentrate on his family. How totally evil is that, eh?), and I bet those things the lead guy does with his voice aren't easy to learn. But why'd any one would want to is baffling. And I can't figure out if they are 100% serious about their outrageously ridiculous theatrics, thuogh their followers seem to think the universe revolves around that guy Dani. But I can't help hoping they are just clowning around, fooling everyone.

Question on Nirvana, I love that song on The Beavis & Butt-head Experience they did called 'I Hate Myself And Want To Die', is that on any of their own CD's? I don't feel like buying The Beavis & Butt-head Experience you see. I know that it is on their box set 'With The Lights Out' but when I listened to a sample it sounded different, is it different from that version or something?...

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: Pikka Bird on 10-18-2006 18:48

The version on 'With The Lights Out' is the demo version. The other one was actually originally released on that B&B compilation in '93, and as a b-side to the Pennyroyal Tea single in '94 (the single was recalled and destroyed for reasons I'm not quite aware of, and a good copy will secure you several hundred dollaz).

Trivia: For a while it was to be the title of the third studio album that was ultimately named 'In Utero'. Kurt thought the sarcastic intention might not be understood.

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: i_c_weiner on 10-18-2006 19:13

I get it!

The Pennyroyal Tea single was recalled in '94 because of Kurt's death. And yes, it is worth a pretty penny on eBay.

In short, either get the entire With The Lights Out box set or The Beavis & Butt-head Experience CD. WTLO has alot of good unknown and demo versions of songs.

AND - I download alot of music for my housemate to burn to CDs for her (she likes alot of pop like Christina and shit) therefore I just have it on my HD already, so I just add it. Kinda pointless to delete it after that effort, so I guess I am a music hoarder?  :p

About kanye West, I think he is an extremly talented writer and whatever else he does. I know, a conservative like me, likes him? But yea, I can stand him, and like a lot of his music.
@Ninaka has some very good picks on her list, having just bought the Wolfmother album yesterday.
And Ben Folds kicks so much ass.

Thanx for the answers about 'I Hate Myself And Want To Die'. I'm kinda disappointed that I either have to buy a compilation CD of songs I don't want just for one song or buy an overpriced single. I guess it'll have to be The Beavis & Butt-Head Experience then because I don't want to waste stupid amounts of money on one song....

At least I know that the version on the box set is the demo, thanx for clearing that up. I wonder why  the regular version of this track has never been released on a Nirvana album...

The Kaiser Chiefs are one of those bands that politicians and Dad's claim to like so as to gain some street cred amongst the yoof crowd. Why don't they ever come out with something really unexpected, just for a laugh. "I like to wake up to Slayer. Really gets be in the mood for hours of cabinet meetings." Perhaps Hurt by NIN.

I've thus far managed to avoid Wolfmother but used to hear Jet every damn day on Virgin Radio. "We don't repeat any songs between 9 and 5, we just play the same songs each day in a different order. Now here's Damien Rice followed by Guns n Roses, yet a-fucking-gain! RARRRRRRRR KILL IT!" Did Australia not think the rest of the world suffered enough with Kylie and Jason? Mullet heaven!

That said, I did see Living End all of five years ago. Are they still going?

Alright, Im posting my Megadeth review in here.
Megadeth
The System has Failed
I know, this is not a "real" Megadeth album, since Dave Mustaine is the only original member left(Chris Poland was in Megadeth at one point though), so I dont know why he used the name, but none the less, they sound like Megadeth songs.
I bought this album a couple of monthes ago, and since then I have listened to it almost every day. Since then Dave Mustaine and Chris Poland have become my all time favorite guitar duo(Knocking out Adrian Smith and Dave Murray). And Since then this has become my #1 Metal album of all time.
I kid you not when I say "This is a musical masterpiece." The dualing guitar solos are unlike any I have heard before. The guy writes about everything from Politics, to how much he hates Lars Ulrich. The drummer is just a studio drummer, but most of the time, those are the best ones. The vocals are, of course, amazing in the ballads and the heavier songs. And for the first time on a metal album, I find that the words are easy to remember, and you will find yourself singing them in the middle of the day.
I would like to compliment Daves writing ability, because I know there aren't many great writers left, but man is he up there.
Some of my favorite lines are:
"I 'red, white and blew it'"- Blackmail The Universe
"Cold Wars are heated up again"- Blackmail The Universe
"You didn't ever make metal, buddy; metal made you"- Something That I'm not

One more thing. I still haven't quite figured Dave Mustaine out. I mean, I know he's been a straight Conservative since rehab, but I think it is he just doesnt like Bush very much. And by the sounds of it, it seems he supports a lot of wars. Also, he has many Anarchy features in his writing.

But Megadeth is possibly the closest thing we're gonna get to a conservative rock band.

Post by: Otis P Jivefunk on 10-24-2006 16:31

CrapBag, I agree with your Megadeth review. I got it a couple of years ago and it makes it into my player just as much if not more than the other Megadeth albums I own. I don't think anybody was expecting him to come out with such a good album after the crappy Risk album (although I like the song Ecstacy even though it's not a Megadeth style song). Then there was the utter turd which was Moto-Phycho and the respective album it was off, and then the absolute gold of The Sytem Has Failed!...

It is total thrash again mixed with the best elements of their 90's albums. It has that biting anger which the early Megadeth albums had. The solo's are fantastic, quite Rust In Peace(ish), and for the first time ever it is a Megadeth album with decent production! One of only two decent thrash metal albums this millenium, the other being Anthrax - We've Come For You All...

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: Ninaka on 10-24-2006 16:44

I've not yet had an overhearing of Wolfmother, even though "everyone" seems to love them now that kind of puts me off them a bit (particularly those damn Tweenagers) - but that doesn't stop me from listening to it at home.
And I'm wary of Jet now, because of the last album being so horribly overplayed. So moreso recently, each time I hear them on the radio I just change the station to avoid killing myself and preserve whatever soul I still have left before I totally hate them. But I still won't buy their album.

The man has a point. One can be a conservative and still oppose Bush for, amongst other things, exploding the deficit, record spending in to Dept of Homeland Security etc., Assaulting the first amendment of the constitution (down to 44th on world press freedom), assaulting the fourth amendment of the constituion (wiretap operations without oversight or warrants). Whether these are legitimate criticisms can be debated, fiscal discipline strict constitutionalists would be horrified by some of the actions performed in the last six years.

I obviously can't speak for Mustane.

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: Pikka Bird on 10-24-2006 22:21

I respect Mustaine and all, but the way he's constantly trying to remind everyone how he was wronged so terribly back in '83 is just pathetic. They were twenty years old, Mustain fucked up time and time again, Lars and James weren't much into talking things over back then, and that's that. Nothing more to it. Everybody, including Mustaine himself, knows that in retrospect Lars and James would like to have handled the matter in some other manner. But I sure wouldn't like to have a Metallica without Hammet, though (mostly old-days Hammet, but that goes for them all)

From the RoadRunner Records website:
"3 Inches Of Blood have completed writing material for their new album, which they plan to record in November with Slipknot's Joey Jordison producing. An early 2007 release is expected."
There is a god! It would be so much more kickass if Joey was playing drums, but it's still cool that there's gonna be a new 3IOB album out.

I hate it when people say "Slipknot sucks", just because they wear masks. I know, its sad, but I have witnessed it. These heavy metal fans turn away from Slipknow(a kickass metal band) just because they think it's stupid that they wear masks. Same deal goes for GWAR, people refuse to listen to their music, just because of how they dress/act on stage.

I saw a list of "100 Greatest Vocalists in Rock", and Corey Taylor was #86! Blasphemy!
#1 was Robert Plant. Am I the only one who thinks he is over rated? Don't get me wrong, he is good and I am a Zeppelin fan, but how can you put anyone in front of Freddy Mercury?

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: Pikka Bird on 11-06-2006 21:13

I'd like to agree pretty much with every thing CB just said, only instead of Freddy, I'd have said Jeff, and instead of Mercury, I'd say Buckley.

Freddy should be high on the list, though. I say this as a casual admirer of Queen, but even though I'm not a super fan, I do acknowledge that Freddy's voice was a spectacular phenomenon.

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: i_c_weiner on 11-07-2006 09:33

I agree on Freddy being Number #1. His ability range from Killer Queen to Another One Bites The Dust is a good example, in my mind, of why he should be #1. Though, I must say that Robert Plant should still be high on the list.

Foo Fighters acoustic tour live album is released today. I want it so bad, it's driving me mad, it's driving me mad. *musical interlude* (50 bonus points for whoever finds the musical joke in this paragraph)

This is the first time I've heard Loveless by My Bloody Valentine. Must be a grower, right? I liked "To Here Knows When", "Come In Alone" and "Blown A Wish" straight away though. For some reason, all I can "see" when I listen to this is scenes from the movie adaption of 'The Virgin Suicides'.

In my country Zwan is a long established brand of canned frankfurters and similar sausages, from Unilever. It doesn't mean anything and there is no relation to the band.

You all need to listen to Early Man. Quite good proto metal if you miss Black Sabbath. It's a wee bit less old school, but it fills a void and does so to great satisfaction.

@Archie: Didn't Tina Dickow write for and perform with Zero 7 in the past?

Dude, my friend showed me them a couple of weeks ago. He told me the guy souded a bit like Ozzy, so I gave em a listen. Some of the guitar parts sound very Black Sabbathish, but the voice sounds more like Ozzy in the middle of his solo years. But not very much.
I love them though.

Alright, and extra points to them because in their top friends on myspace they have: Mastodon, Slayer, Megadeth, Lamb of God, 3 Inches of Blood and Motorhead.
Pretty huge fan of all those bands.

But I enjoy some softer emo/indie. Operatic, Dashboard, the Format, Plain White Tees. I really like them all. This is my attempt to broaden my horizon, and stop listening to strictly Metal, Rock and Rap.

For the love of God...

Neither HIM nor Panic! At The Disco are Emo.
Goddamn it. They're both some sort of pop-rock or something, but they're not Emo. Rites of Spring are Emo. Orchid are Emo. Clikitat Ikatowi, Heroin, Antioch Arrow, Ampere or Circle Takes The Square are Emo. Emo is a chaotic form of hardcore with vocals screamed at the top of your lungs. And if you're going to sing about your ex, then in the form of threating to punch her in the uterus or something. Fuck.

I really like Emo and it annoys me to see those awesome bands mentioned in the same context as HIM.
Also, HIM committed a crime with their name when they stole their name from Him, a prog project the drummer of June of 44 founded.

Perhaps to the esteemed members of the music micro-genre definition bureaucracy ("no no, that's not post-grind-deathcore at all, it's obviously grind-metal-blackcore-core. Completely different scene, mainstreamer" ), but I think most people would agree that the horse has bolted as far as popular opinion is concerned - and I'm afraid the befringed, white upper-middle-class pseudo-selfharmers have stolen your term.

While I'm fairly sure my boss at the Genre Definition Department would yell at me for even listening to you (the "DIY and related" subsubsection of the "hardcore" subsection filed you under "sold out" for liking Nirvana after they got popular, I think), I think I've seen the light. The term has been stolen, we'll get right on it with the redefinition and also redefine the old term, which I propose will henceforth be known as "pre-emo", unless this redefinition fails in which case a) the only applicable term shall henceforth be "music" and all other genres shall be abolished and b) the Song Genre Division will be closed and most of the staff will be transferred to the Obscure Band Reference In Record Reviews Section or to the then to-be-created Remove Genre Names From Record Reviews Section.

On a sidenote: Naturally, we don't have any paperwork, because, quite frankly, who bothers to write genre definitions down. We will however edit the Wikipedia and Fanzine entries accordingly. On the internet.

yah mor liek "music with cocks in it" lol am i rite!!!+? lolmafos!!

No, seriously, I am 100% indifferent to that particular band. MCR are clearly the worst, in nothing else, then just because of their ridiculous attitudes.

Emo has become the new term for "Anything I don't like". It was nu-metal in my day. Cue enraged letters to Kerrang! because their favourite band had been described as nu-metal, and neurotic letters in response explaining exactly what nu-metal is, or isn't, or indeed why it's a terribly defined term that by most people's standards would leave Rage Against The Machine as wank. I've not bought Kerrang! for a while but I bet the same thing is happening regards emo.

What's all this need for defining music, it's good or bad or meh.

I just got Skin and Bones by Foo Fighters, which is their new acoustic live album. It's good, unlike emo.

It's just filler. Like a best-of or a rarity/b-side album. Just to tide over completists/rabid drooling fans until the next bore-fest (their next album).

Seriously explain to me the attraction to the Foo Fighters. Personally, I find them as exciting as a grey sock.

On to other matters: I done gone founded a nice band that tickles mah fancy.. Town & Country. Oooh, climaxin'.

I like Foo Fighters Nothing Left To lose album. As for the others I like some of the singles off them. Everlong and Low are two which spring to mind. I can see why some people would find them to be meh though, I did and still do find some of their stuff meh too...

Post by: CrapBag on 11-17-2006 21:57

All of the foo fighters songs sound exactly the same. Dave isn't much of a guitarist/singer and(from what Ive heard) his songwriting ability isn't anything more than that of a 13 year old girls'. In conclusion, I would rather pass a kidney stone than listen to one of their albums(I only have one).

One kidney or one album?

Title: Re: Music with Rocks in it.
Post by: Pikka Bird on 11-18-2006 01:11

Clearly it's one kidney stone. Kidneys were never mentioned.

I love the Foos. Not because of their technical ability to play(though tallying up major label bands' abilities these days will place them all well and comfortably above average), but because of their ability to simply rock. The songs have nice dynamics and flows and while Grohl's voice doesn't have the greatest range, it still sounds mighty cool to me (if I wanted range, I'd listen to Jeff Buckley. Which I do. A lot.), and I even like the lyrics. I don't see where they fall behind compared to, say, Judas Priest's or Iron Maiden's lyrics, which are in my opinion leaps and bounds more infantile.

I've had Skin & Bones for a while now (god bless the internet) and I must say it's fantastic.  I got the DVD coming on monday (more songs and a Disk 2 of Hyde Park - look out for me!)

Right now, I'm listening to a lot of Tool.

Although I feel it's probably been done.

That's what makes it music on the rocks!

Haha! The Polyphonic Spree's cover of 'Lithium' from their new Wait EP. Classic!
