Music?

[gore]

This has nothing to do with security, or, really, computers in general, so I'm putting this in GCC, but I'm just wondering what kind of music all of you like.

I've talked about music a lot on here and been surprised sometimes with the bands people here like, and how a lot of us seem to like some of the same stuff, but it's been a while, we have new members now, and some of us do change musical taste.

So, I will start:

Genres -

Industrial
Punk
Metal (Death Metal mostly)
Rockabilly
Psychobilly
Johnny Cash. (I put this here because he's not quite Country, not quite Rockabilly though he did hep invent it, and not quite Rock either).
Techno / Dance / Electronic (Put together since a lot of people seem to like arguing about what band makes what type of music when it comes to Electronic stuff, and some even say it needs to meet certain things to be considered Dance, so I'll put them all together).

Bands off the top of my head -

The Misfits - My favorite band EVER. Of any band, no one touches them. The Misfits have been my favorite band since literally the hour I got my first Misfits CD years ago. The FIRST album I ever bought literally had my scratching off a few band names off my school binder to make room for The Misfits being carved in lol. I can't think of another band I like more than them.

Samhain - Again, they are great. When Glenn Danzig was still with The Misfits he planned on doing a side project. Do to an Incident in Detroit however, he just left them and broke up the band, and started Samhain (Which you pronounce Sow-In) and I liked it too.

Danzig - Again, he leaves The Misfits, gets Samhain going, and then Rock Rubin wanted to make a sort of "Super Group" with Glenn at the center for his vocal talents. This is what became Danzig. BAsically the drummer was different lol.

The Ramones - One of the best bands ever!
Dead Kennedys
Black Flag
TSOL
Acid Bath
Agents of Oblivion
Deadboy and the Elephantmen
Anti-Flag
Alice In Chains
Rammstein
Cannibal Corpse
Mortician
BILE
Lords of Acid
DJ Icey
DJ Venom
DJ Attak
Nekromantix
Tiger Army - Even though the Bass player is a sissy with his little finger guard, they're still good.
The Crystal Method
Atari Teenage Riot
Blood for Blood
Body Count
Bolt Thrower
Burzum
Coal Chamber
Choking Victim
Deftones
Dope
Exhumed
White Zombie
Wednesday - 13
Murder Dolls
The Doors
System of a Down
Stahlhammer
Six Feet Under
Rancid
R6.3zist
Powerman 5000
NOFX
NIN
Mudvayne
Mindless Self Indulgence
Lunachicks
Leftover Crack
Le Shok
KMFDM
Jimi Hendrix
Jack Off Jill
Janis Joplin
INDK
GWAR
Genitorturers

I liked KMFDM back when it was random musicians involved in a project that Sasha K. had virtually no part in. I never liked Rammstein. Atari Teenage Riot sucked compaired to the solo stuff.

You should add Sheep On Drugs to that list. They deserve atleast that much. They're a walking disaster... even beyond comparison to these other petty-annie garage bands.

[PatrickDickey]

Well, I'm old....

Of your list, I recognized 17 names (and probably have only listened to about 14 of them). As for musical tastes, I like everything and nothing -- depending on my mood.

Some of my all-time favorites are

Judas Priest
Helix
Krokus
Pink Floyd
GWAR (Scumdogs of the Universe ROCKED!!!)
Megadeath
Wagner (Classical Music)
Hank Williams Jr.
Johnny Cash
Stone Fury
Dashboard Confessional
Kid Rock

and a lot more that I won't go into. Typically when people ask me, I tell them I like everything from Mozart to Metallica, and I actually have my Mozart CD in the slot next to Metallica's "And Justice For All" CD. That typically gets a weird look from them.

Have a great day
Patrick.

You have to like ATR spec, anyone who has a song about bashing those idiots with glow sticks has to have some decency at least.

Anyway, my ears are still kind of ringing from The Misfits in Detroit on Saturday. It's a lot better than it was Sunday afternoon when I got up by far, but I can still hear a slight ring.

From what I've heard from other people who've seen them in other places and then saw them in Detroit, they play WAY louder in Detroit.

As my My Wife put it; "They were SERIOUSLY loud! They were at least as loud as Skinny Puppy was" which is apparently intense.

They opened with Halloween. The bass bends concrete walls and floors, and a can of Monster I was drinking was starting to crinkle when they started playing. You could actually feel it as pressure in your mouth. I'd say that's pretty loud. I've been to a lot of shows and no band plays like The Misfits. (And if you're a purist saying Glenn is gone and they aren't The Misfits anymore, eat one. Robo was on Drums, as was back in the early days too, and Dez Cadena was on Guitar, and he has enough street cred to be considered a band member).

Lol what? How do you act like it? I love Death Metal more so than speed / thrash and whatever, because I like the lyrics more than black metal which basically repeats the same thing or adds in the occasional Elfs and things like that, where as Death Metal / Gore Metal are mostly Horror Movie based, much like Horror Punk which is where most of my CD collection is.

[romanticcowboy]
