well yeah, you cant realy generalize like that, but i think the rock scene had many golden moments in that decade.Terastas wrote:Ditto I suppose, though I'm more selective in tersm of what eighties rock I like. Aerosmith and Boston come to mind before anything else (and no, the fact that their both from this state and Steve Tyler and I share the same birthdate has nothing to do with it), and of course. I also like some of Ozzy Osbourne's work, though I tend to favor mostly his 1990s-2000 stuff, so I wasn't sure wether to include him or not.weredog wrote:i love eighties rock.... it simply rocks![]()

alot of the rock now a days kinda suck and send a bad message, rock never sent bad messages in the begining until the late 80s i think and early 90s, thats when it started to get messed up. but dont get me wrong i still like alot of bands even some that plays negative music like rob zombie.

I'm a brand new foagie
I swore back in the eighties that I would never be "an old foagie" and hate contemporary music. But, that was back when contemporary music didn't actually suck.
I've got people of all ages talking about how contemporary radio music is either crap or retro, remembering days when it wasn't crap.
Don't get me wrong; there's a lot of great new music. You just don't hear it on the radio; it's all underground.

Yes, there as been an annyoing large amount of sampling going on in the mainstream (Top 40) lately, and I find it really annoying.Scott Gardener wrote:I've got people of all ages talking about how contemporary radio music is either crap or retro, remembering days when it wasn't crap.

We have Sony and Clear Channel to thank for the crap being aired over most of the country's airwaves today. I swear, the local oldies station that my horse's trainers play in their tack room plays "Rocket Man" regularly enough that you can literally set a clock to it
"Ah, there goes 'Rocket Man,' it must be 5:30PM!"
And get this, kids, they got caught with their pants down. Payola is alive and well and living in the Sony Corporate HQ. At least now we have something to hang over their heads when they threaten to sue another private citizen for file-sharing.

Personally, I don't think System of A Down is 'done with effort'. I really hate the vocals sometimes, I think thats the main problem why I don't like SOAD. And 'devil growling' is way more complex then you might think. If you do it wrong, by just growling like a maniac, you'll lose your voice within a week.Terastas wrote:I like metal if it's done with effort. While I don't know if they'd qualify as black metal or grind core, I'm a big fan of bands like the Cult, Sevendust, System of a Down, Disturbed, Evanesence, etc. because, not only are they nice and intense, but their guitarists can actually play more than three chords, and more than that, their lead singers can actually sing. Way too many bands like Slipknot and who knows how many Slipknot clones are out there (the ones that have names like Kevorkian or Kollumbine Killaz) is that the singers think they can get by with just devil-growling.
Right now I'm on a campus computer though, so I can't visit those websites to compare.
Anyway, I found a Dutch black metal-band on the web, called Fluisterwoud (it means something like Whispering Forest). Everytime I hear this song called 'Tergenis', I'm laughing out loud.

I'm not a big metal fan, but I really like the, uh, 'pretty' ones - the kind of songs that are hauntingly beautiful and really striking. The bands I think of are Katatonia and Opeth.
If anyone else likes them (and their styles) can you recommend any other bands? I've got a fair range of musical tastes (hardcore, emo, trance, dance, techno, classical, industrial, 'easy listening', some metal, alternative, screamo, ambient - the creepy atmospheric kind - and just straight-up rock) so I'm pretty open to most genres.

I'm not that big on death metal, or any kind of metel.
Although I do like a lot of music by Rob/White Zombie.
I'm more of a trance-freak.
I do listen to a lot of different genres like:
Adult Alternative (well, some of it anyway, a lot of it's crap),
Jungle / Drum & Bass,
Goa / (Psychedelic) Trance,
Techno,
Hardcore,
Rock,
Pop,
And I'm sure there's others I've forgot, but, eh.
Oh, I know what I forgot now, Orchestral music. It takes an open mind to enjoy it. I especially enjoy the stuff from Morrowind, those of you who played about Morrowind know what I'm talking about.
I really despise Rap, R & B, and especially... Country.

I'm used to that kind of moments. Especially when you listen black metal all the time, it won't scare you that easily anymore.

Hrmm...
When I think of Metal, I usually think of Sacred Rite and Tragic Nancy. If I remember right, they were both pretty big bands in Hawaii when I was over there in the 80s, but I didn't start even liking their music until a year or two ago.
Heck, I'm also waiting on a friend in Sweden or Norway (somewhere in Scandanavia) to finish establishing his music label / distribution label - since he's working exclusively with metal, and no other forms of music.

Good deal. I'm afraid I can't join another band right now... I'm stuck with a few music projects as we speak...(to say the least)
Prime 7 (Metal) (debut album)
Wolf: The Animated Feature (some soundtrack-related work)
another metal project (I'll spill the beans after recording is done)
Next solo CD
Lake Atitlan International Music and Arts Festival 2006 (concert) (dunno what I'll be playing - likely a mix of rock, metal, and otherstuff on my electric violin)
Hospital Atitlan fundraiser CD (submitted - awaiting a response)
Elite Veterans of Rock (Tracks Across America IV - done)
Debut album (done)
