Preserved Topic: Favorite Bands? (Page 2 of 2)

I mean, i listed Brand New, i like them and everything, but damn they're just GOOD, OK. Not god, not beyond all things that exist. Just good. In fact, i didn't even really like their last album, their new one is good.

My favorite band is Radiohead. I just saw them live tonite. Simply Amazing!!!

Ohh, yes, forgot Radiohead, I liked Kid A, but not their new one. Anyways, I had a chance to see RHCP a while ago, but alas, no.

Rauthrin or cfb: Anyone's friend?

I might as well point out that tastes differ and I can't really see the point in name calling over matters of taste.

Hey, I just noticed I listen to much of the same music as cfb. Cool.

Rauthrin: Lets put it down to the proximity of a Springfield

Dillinger 4
Schreeching Weasel
The Vindictives - Their newest one is awesome
Fugazi
NOFX
Modest Mouse
Capp n' Jazz
Superchunck
Quicksand
No Means No - Great Canada Punk
Action Patrol
Avail

And a bunch of other stuff that was already mentioned,
I just thought I would give you guys an intro into other music.
I especially recommend Schreeching Weasel.


.quotes.

Linkin Park- Hybrid Theory, Reanimation, Meteora
? Evanescence- Fallen
P.O.D- ??

? Adema ?

new additions to my list (aka recently bought items):

Mastodon - Remission
Nile - Amongst the Catacombs of the Nephren-Ka

oh i forgot to add the good old bands like
beatles
beach boys
status quo
bob dylan
bob marley
ccr

Did I say Led Zeppelin, I don't think I did. I bought How the West Was Won recently, and loved it.

Led Zepplin + Weed = Memorable experience .

Sanzen: I'm not a big fan of death metal but Nile really deliver the goods - the vocals, the drumming, the Egyptian influences, etc. are all spot on. Rameses Bringer of War has to be my favourite but Unas Slayer of the Gods, Black Seeds of Vengance and Howling of the Jinn are up their too

Its worth it just to answer the question "What the Hell are you listening to?" "Ahhhhhhh well that was ' Libation Unto the Shades Who Lurk in the Shadows of the Temple of Anhur'" (Masturbating the War God is another title bound to raise an eyebrow ).

Anyone looking for something to raise the hair on the back of their neck should track down 'Aldyn Dashka' by Yat-Kha (from the album of the same name).

Sorry I still can't be bothered listing my favourite bands

Yeah, Nile is sooooo mindblowing. I've recently started listening to a lot of heavier stuff.

Mastodon
The Haunted
Lamb of God
Nile
Morbid Angel
The Agony Scene

just to name a couple of the heavier bands i've been getting into.

Mastodon is probably topping my list though, if you think Nile has a good drummer... you are in for a surprise. You should listen to the song, "Where Strides the Behemoth" from Mastodon. Its mindblowing, simply put.

Sanzen: And why doesn't 'Unas Slayer of the Gods' (at what 11-12 minutes long) seem like a trial?

On your recommendation I looked at a few reviews of Mastodon and their drummer is highly praised.

Morbid Angel? Now that takes me back - are they still going or are you casting your net back to the first time round?

Check out Curse of the Golden Vampire's album 'Mass Destruction' (not the Animal Empire album 'Curse of the Golden Vampire' which is different, but good in its own way, and there is some cross-over in band members) - not very subtle but just this side of listenable for me (just).

[edit: sometimes ]

Morbid Angel is still around and playing, but you kind of have to give credit to the forefathers of an aforementioned genre if you're going to respect the youngins.. you know?

I'm not sure what you're asking me about Unas, Slayer of the Gods. Thats a really long song, and sometimes ihave trouble listening all the way through it.

Isis is also another great band. More epic and complex (genre wise) than most heavy bands. Kinda like taking Godspeed You Black Emporer and mixing it with a death metal band.

Seriously though, pick up the Mastodon disc, you wont be disappointed.

Saw Mastodon opening for a Clutch show a while back.

The drummer was good, can't deny that, but that's about where it ended....
