Best Band you have heard?

[Maestersaj]

For me the offspring :P

[Sikawtic]

I'm really into KoRn right now. But one of my all time faves is Rammstein.

[Maestersaj]

Rammstein (Y) german eh?? they are ok for me. not my fave though :P

[ItDiesToday]

In Flames, Underoath(OLD/NEW), or The Bled... Not sure which one.

[Frattimonde]

Dissection is probably my favorite, real dark and sinister melodic chaos at its best. *evil smile*.

[Morkeliph]

Wow, you guys have some poor taste. What about Led Zeppelin, ACDC, Foreigner?

[Spartan-II]

I respect the classical stuff, but I need high energy music to get me pumped. That's why I like Disturbed, Korn, Rammstein, and alot of other stuff like that.

[IrishDutchman]

ACDC!!!!

Hot damn, Angus is god!

His guitar solo on 'The Jack' or the riff on 'Thunderstruck' are simply amazing. Plus they're unbeatable live.

There's another song I really like from a really old band called 'the Kinks'. I've only heard one song from 'em but it's great. "Sunny Afternoon'

Old School, I know...:)

[xodkrm]

Rancid (possibly the BEST bass player ever)
- dont believe me? listen to solo of Maxwell Murder.
Nirvana
Metallica
Nofx
Operation Ivy (pre-rancid)
Pinhead gun powder (pre-greenday)
The Vandals

Question : What is Korn?

[Spartan-II]

I disagree. The Bass player from Primus is amazing! Too bad Primus sucks outloud...

[Beef]

Rancid (possibly the BEST bass player ever)
- dont believe me? listen to solo of Maxwell Murder.
Holy fastness...

[Holocaust]

Playing speed isn't much of an important factor in a musician's skill, I mean anyone can play fast if they practice.

some of the Best bands I've heard so far are:
Metallica
Arch Enemy
Children of Bodom
Rammstein
KoRn

Good quality rhythm, atmosphere, tone and mood are what I see in a good band

[Maestersaj]

most of you are into the old school bands and heavy rock like nirvana, iron maden, rammstein wat ever lol how about new bands? i mostly know australian bands lol :P not very well known but i bet it'll own all the old school stuff. ACDC are good i got thier songs on my comp via mp3 via turntable record lol. another good band are LP but they screwed themselves up by making collision course with jay z.

[Mtank]

Im not into heavy rock much, but I rather like Poets of The Fall, a Finnish band. You can see one of their songs+video here:

http://potfmedia.com/lift/

[Jedi_Templar]

In no particular order

Pink Floyd
Queen
System of a Down
The Who
Led Zeppelin
Ozzy
Nirvana
AC/DC
Garbage
Rage Against the Machine

/now that's variety!

I think it's interesting that *most people listen to one or two genres of music, and usually define themselves by whatever music they listen to.

Music doesn't define a person- it defines a situation. I don't listen to rap, but whenever I play GTA: San Andreas, I want to listen to rap. Why? 'Cause it be gangsta, yo.

The last time I looked, most people have more than one emotion, so why only listen to one genre of music that usually incorporates only one emotion (say, metal and anger)?

[IrishDutchman]

i mostly know australian bands lol


I know TWO aussie bands, which both kickass. AC/DC and Jet.

Lot's of critics are screaming and yelling that Jet has no originality or talent, and copy everything from better bands like the Beatles or The Rolling Stones. However, if you just take the songs and listen to them in their own right, it's good fun Rock 'n Roll.

The Who

Lol, my dad was a fan of them :)

[Morkeliph]

Rancid (possibly the BEST bass player ever)
- dont believe me? listen to solo of Maxwell Murder.I'm more of a Flea fan myself. That guy can jam!

[EvilEmpire]

You all listen to metal so far, its like posting rap bands spam now?:P
My best favourites Ascending:
House of Pain
Cypress Hill
KRS One
Public Enemy
---
KoЯn
PainKiller soundtrack
Various techno revolving around Infected Mushroom's style

Rage Against the Machine:D:);)

The last time I looked, most people have more than one emotion, so why only listen to one genre of music that usually incorporates only one emotion (say, metal and anger)? I totaly agree with you, when I play some violent game I tend on listening to something very heavy stimulating my reflexes.(tryed listening to music in the background of Doom3, my PC almost melted:D)

[Jedi_Templar]

Lol, my dad was a fan of them :)

To me, how old the song is is irrelevant- any really good song is going to transcend age and trends. Plus, I listen to a lot of Classical music, so compared to Bach and Mozart, The Who and The Beatles aren't that old.


I totaly agree with you, when I play some violent game I tend on listening to something very heavy stimulating my reflexes.(tryed listening to music in the background of Doom3, my PC almost melted:D)

I wish CS:S and UT2004 would incorporate an ingame music player. I want to listen to System, Disturbed, and RATM while I snipe noobs.

I actually found a server that had an in-server music player with a limited selection of awesome music. Unfortuantly, when I tried to listen to a song, the ping shot up to ~500 and I was booted out. No idea if it was the server or my computer. And they didn't have Chop Suey.

/I CRY
//WHEN ANGELS DESERVE TO DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[Aqo]

I wish CS:S and UT2004 would incorporate an ingame music player.
...

Newsflash: You can actually turn off background music in the Options menu, and turn winamp on before you enter the game! Ya rly!

:rolleyes:

I wouldn't listen to music in FPS if I were you, though. It really hurts your focus in-game. You can't really hear if someone is walking behind you, also, etc...

Now, it's really hard for me to decide which one I like the most... Rammstein, Scooter, Slipknot, Abba, Freedom Call, Sum 41, Nightwish, Metallica, Godsmack, Iron Maiden, Nickelback... there's just too many bands I listen too, and I wuv 'em all!

[singo]

Live? The Darkness I would say are the best Live act I have heard, but I have not been to much live music.

The BEST band I have ever heard are Gamma Ray

although I also like Hammerfall, Dragonforce, Sonata Arctica, AC\DC, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Oasis and Nightwish. As well as dozens of other bloody fantastic bands (most of whom fall under the heading of classic/heavy rock or Power Metal)

Well, maybe not in CS:S, but for a game like UT2004, hells yeah I want music.

[sololop]

Ozzy Osbourne when he went solo.

[Maestersaj]

I know TWO aussie bands, which both kickass. AC/DC and Jet.

i actually thought jet was pretty crap. AC/DC were good. but the small bands that we have here are really good. as for genres i listen to?? rock mostly, ska is freaking awsum, reagge quite a bit not too much though a bit of comedy like tripod, weirdal (thought he is really old but still entertaining), arrogant worms are quite funny too.

[IrishDutchman]

I'm more of a Flea fan myself. That guy can jam!

Word. I'm no expert on Bass Players, but to me he is pretty much the main attraction of RHCP

i actually thought jet was pretty crap

Meh, I liked them. Their ballads were god awful but the harder songs like 'Cold Hard Bitch' and 'Get me Outta Here' really were fun.

There are CD's I advise everyone to buy, they're collections of guitar music called 'The Alternative Albums'. I believe there's 4 of 'em out now. They have 18 to 20 tracks with music by bands like Dandy Warhols, Coldplay, Radiohead, Blur and The Black Rebel Motorcycle stuff. It isn't very hard but it's good fun.

[EvilEggCracker]

My favorite band would have to be

The Weetards (www.freewebs.com/theweetards)

GREATEST BAND EVER.

[IrishDutchman]

They look somewhat, strange. :P

What kinda music is it? I looked at the lyrics and they're fubar.

[PROJECT]

well i have a variety of music.I like mostly heavy metal but i sometimes variegate with rap and techno

so:Metallica,Alice Cooper,Disturbed,Rammstein,House of Pain,Cypress Hill

[Tharisfal]

Tool, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Queen, Metalica, Ayreon and probably many other. It would be imposible to decide.

[IrishDutchman]

Oh, did I mention The White Stripes? They kick ass!

Songs like Blue Orchid or Fell In Love With A Girl = sweet.

[Tharisfal]

Ever heard of Guano Apes?

[xodkrm]

[claus]

It's a toss up between All American Rejects and Taking Back Sunday for me.

Subtract the RAtM and add in some Disturbed, Rob Zombie, MegaDeth, Evanescence, John Williams (Star Wars music symphony composer) and you basically get the gist of some of the bands/groups that I am normally listening to. :)

[IrishDutchman]

Cake

[SilentSimmons]

Linkin Park

[Maestersaj]

good but i lost interest in them after collision course :P

[IrishDutchman]

Maester, the gorillaz are fine! They're great background music, although it can be a bit tedious at times.

[Maestersaj]

i liked one song of them EVER. that was feel good inc. thats it.

[IrishDutchman]

Check out 19-2000 soulchild remix. That's nice. Or 5-4, or Re-Hash or New Genious, or Tomorrow Comes Today, or Kids with Guns, or Ghost Train.

I could go on for a while...

[Maestersaj]

not amazingly i haven't heard of any of them :P i could go on for a very long time lol:P

[IrishDutchman]

not amazingly i haven't heard of any of them i could go on for a very long time lol

...huh? I don't about what you could go on a long time...

How much of the Gorillaz have you actually ever heard? If you've only heard one or two songs by 'em, you can hardly say you don't like them.

[EvilEmpire]

HA! This is just in:
SlickRick just my style
Dynamic Certified - well they just OWN ALL!

[B.A.Baracus]

HA! This is just in:

In no particular order

Pink Floyd
Queen
System of a Down
The Who
Led Zeppelin
Ozzy
Nirvana
AC/DC
Garbage
Rage Against the Machine

/now that's variety!

I hate to break it to you buddy...but your taste in music is not really all that varied. I see mostly classic rock with a sprinkling of trendy bands like SOAD.

Especially when my top ten most played artists according to my mp3 player are...

Frederic Chopin
Master P
Louis Armstrong
The Beatles
Van Morrison
Mariah Carey
They Might Be Giants
Tom Petty
Led Zeppelin
Kelly Clarkson


Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are probably one of my top three favorite bands, actually I just saw them last weekend, but man have they gotten old...they are really slowing down. I like a few local bands too, my friend is in Sparky's Flaw (http://myspace.com/sparkysflaw) which I think is poised for success and I actually genuinely like the music too...

Foreigner is great, I can't believe you are such a big fan, Morkeliph. You are my new favorite person. :)

B.A.B if you consider NWA to be a "band" they are definitely going on my list too. I also like the Cranberries a lot, that's something that people usually look at me funny or nod their head in a weird way when I tell them that.

Oh yeah. Tenacious D's "Tribute" is my personal anthem.

[Maestersaj]

go on about bands...

and i've heard the whole of the demon days album and nearly threw the disc out the window

[IrishDutchman]

Are you serious?
Damn, I love all the songs I've heard from it. (I don't own it, but I've got some of the songs on mp3)
The ones I've heard are:
Kids with Guns
Ghosttrain
Feel Good Inc.
Dare
I've heard Dirty Harry but I don't like it.

[EvilEmpire]

Oh kewl you like Slick Rick? Hes tight huh?
You're daaymn right.(Was he brittish?)

Get a load o' Dynamic Certified (http://www.dynamiccertified.com/)!
Personaly I recommend Public Enemy to NWA ...

[IrishDutchman]

oh yeah, and I love Nine Inch Nails, although his lyrics are sometimes pretty disturbed, very cool and bad ass.

[EvilEggCracker]

I now love The Weetards even more. I have learned that their lyrics are completely improvised. Wow.

[Maestersaj]

Are you serious?
Damn, I love all the songs I've heard from it. (I don't own it, but I've got some of the songs on mp3)

I've heard Dirty Harry but I don't like it.

yes
i didn't like dirty harry...not like i liked them at all :P i'd prefer to listen to rock:D

I now love The Weetards even more.

never heard of them.. any good?

[IrishDutchman]

the weetards look pretty crazy. Just wacky, but funny i guess. I've never heard 'em but i checked out the lyrics :P

BTW, coolest heavy metal song I've ever heard:

Dope - Die MF die!

[hammocksleeper]

BTW, coolest heavy metal song I've ever heard:

Dope - Die MF die!
Is that the one from Office Space where the dude is listening to on the highway in gridlock traffic? haha

[Maestersaj]

I LOVE THE VIEW!!! (aussie band :P) they are freaking awsum

[IrishDutchman]

Is that the one from Office Space where the dude is listening to on the highway in gridlock traffic? haha

Don't have a clue to be honest. I've never seen the clip, a friend let me listen to it and now I have it on mp3.
Well, if you hadn't figured, the chorus goes something like this:

*cough cough*

....

DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIEE!

It's pretty ridiculous, but the song itself is good romping 'n stomping metal/grunge.

[Fred1000000]

You will not see anything more deranged than this band. Seriously. (http://www.wearemongoloid.com/cookie/)

But, my FAVORITE band is deffinantly System of a Down. A friend of mine got me nearly FOUR FRICKEN HOURS of pure SoaD, and I'm hooked. Music is awesome, meaningful, AND wierd! They just rock.

[IrishDutchman]

LOL! The cookie mongoloids! That was hilarious man!

I'm still lol'ing.

SoaD can be cool, but I don't like their completely maniac songs, with Sugar as an exception. I prefer their slower songs like Aerials, or the loneliest day of my life.

[Fred1000000]

It's just Lonely Day! (Is becoming too nerdy and obsessed with them)

And, yeah, dad found Cookie Mogoloid. I was mortified, and obviously HAD to pass it on.

[xodkrm]

You guys forgot Flogging Molly.

[Greyscale]

You guys forgot Flogging Molly.

Hell yeah! That band kicks ass.


The two bands/artists I really enjoy are:
-Pink Floyd
-Peter Gabriel

[IrishDutchman]

It's just Lonely Day! (Is becoming too nerdy and obsessed with them)


Heh, ok.

Which songs do you like? The hyper ones or the slow ones?

[Maestersaj]

another ffreaking awsum band is Crying out LOud :P

[Leosam096]

Underoath for sure. ;)

[Atillawurm]

A good band is Placebo, Pure Moring is the greatest song ever.
Lisiten to it at http://www.purevolume.com/placebo

[dunchy]

Bad Religion. Those guys just never get old.

Secondly ....mmm...Death by stereo, one of the few bands that sound better live. The band members are so cool and down to earth.

[EvilEggCracker]

SOAD are a really good bad. I prefer their hyper songs.

Their songs like Storaged and Cigaro kick ass.

[IrishDutchman]

Begh, I only like their hyper songs when I'm in the mood ('3 in the morning, just having played dead or alive 2 hours straight, and finished 3 cans of red bull)
On your normal weekday I only listen to slower ones like Aerials etc.

[Fred1000000]

Psychotic hyper songs. Actually, any of them. It's really fun to put: Lonely Day, X, Aerials, Chop Suey!, Violent Pornography. Crazy, calm, crazy, calm, WTF. In that order.

[IrishDutchman]

haha, yeah. I have a play list that switches between Dope, Jack Johnson, SOAD, Norah Jones and AC/DC. It's fun and messes with your mood :D

[Mtank]

I like Poets of the Fall, Nightwish, and Iron Maiden. Oh, and Evanescence.

[Seal]

without any particular order, moby.
and some others randomly. not really enthusiastic :>

[PillsC2E]

The best band I have ever heard and by far my favorite is Alice In Chains. If you don't appreciate their hard-but-poetic-at-times rock then you must shoot yourself.

[mcflurry_1982]

To me, how old the song is is irrelevant- any really good song is going to transcend age and trends.
So true. unfortunately a lot of people do not realize this.

Out of all the bands i like, ones that i think are the best are (no prticlr order):

Aerosmith
The Beatles
AC/DC
Led Zeppelin
Green Day

[Seal]

age doesnt matter, the perception that bands were better before comes because the bad stuff tends to get forgotten over time.

[Holocaust]

Strapping Young Lad, jeez their songs are so fast, virtually every song has tremelo picking along with double bass drumming, crazy.
The song Shitstorm makes me wonder how Devin gets his voice that high pitch without him cracking up o_O

[Neu(t)ral Damage]

I have never been so inspired in my life. I absolutely adore these guys
