James and twiggy, heh, forgot about them. Ok, I don't know why he's accepting the interviews. Still don't care. So long as the music isn't affected, in my opinion, it hasn't sp far.

Are there any songs that Twiggz worked on that someone could recommend? I was a fan of his when he was with MM (my second favourite bass player behind Takeshi Ueda) but I know fuck all about Perfect Circle (I heard a couple of songs but they sounded kinda more bland than what I'd normally listen to).

get their 1st album, its damn good (mer de noms). 2nd album is a bit "bland" as you would put it, in some parts. judith etc arent exactly bland songs [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

anyway, if you want twiggy's bass, listen to 'weak and powerless', i suppose.

lol sorry I didn't mean bland in a negative way (I like Radiohead after all [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]), perhaps 'subdued' or 'low key' would have been better (basically not heavy/fast/over the top etc).

I'll have a listen to some of the first album and also that song shadowmantis recommended (thanks to both of you btw).

[FearTheMullet]

In Flames
Megadeth
Metallica
Children of Boddom
Sepultura (HOLY FUCK YEAH! Max is the man)
Pantera (the older stuff, the newer stuff is kinda... crappy generic thrash)
Tower (GREAT fucking band)
Soulfly( Now that Dave Elefson is in this band they look HILARIOUS in music videos, 3 short latinos and a 6 foot tall albino whit guy. Oh and Max, he still is the man even in this band.)
Arch Enemy (they have great tracks, but the singing.... eww)
The Gathering
Acid Drinkers (FUCK YEAH! Track time 6 6 6! haha)

you're welcome, Swallow Your Soul
by the way, i'm thinking about giving therion a shot. can anyone suggest an album i should buy? the new double thingie maybe?

[Gods_Son]

Megadeth is awful, I hate that band.

[r3n]

heh yeah cant say im a fan of em either, soulfly and sepultura used to rox, but they kinda suck a bit now. the last 2 soulfly albums have been disapointing, bring back more primitive tbh, that was some good music

[FearTheMullet]

Megadeth is the shit. Marty Friedman is the GREATEST lead player. And he plays in J-Pop bands now... haha. He could still rip every guitar player out there a new one.

And I agree, older Sepultura is alot better then the new stuff with Derek.

Agreed...I used to love them when I was 11...but back then I also liked Enter Sandman by Metallica (I like Metallica even less...I had to stand through a 3 hour set at the Leeds Festival...interesting for about 30 mins just because the guitarist is talented...but 80 solos later it just got dull as hell, but then I don't like those kind of bands anyway).

I wanna hear some stuff from Cradle's new album (apparently most of it is done), I heard there will be a song that sounds "like Hatebreed". Hopefully that is bollocks...I can't see that happening...Hatebreed....*cuts self off to save a 5 paragraph rant*

Kittie also have a new album coming out which should be pretty cool (yeah I'm one of the few people who is uncool enough to like them).

i thought 'bring the pain' cover was interesting, but overal i'm not too crazy aboot them [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

[Uchiha Barles]

Huh...Meshuggah rocks. I've been listening to them for awhile now, not sure whether or not I liked them, because I couldn't 'get' them. Just now though I sat through a playlist full of them and everything is clear as day. I'm glad I made this investment...shot to my top 5 list.

cant say i like cradle of filth or hatebreed tbh. cradle jst seem to be out there to make controversy with their lyrics rather than creating good music. i mean who actually lives by this "fuck christ" way of life. if u dont follow christianity, leave it at that, no need to release Tshirts of jesus defiling some young girl. same goes with all these other bands that put on a facade to sell albums, like slipknot. whats the need in the masks and boiler suits, jst makes them look retarded. i only listen to bands for their music, not their image, and i think thats the way it should be.

Cradle aren't serious over that sort of stuff. They are meant to be over the top, most (if not all) of their lyrics are written in a fictional context...they say themselves that they're inspired by B movies (Dani Filth even stars in the B Movie Cradle of Fear), so I just take them at that level. The band are always taking the piss out of themselves and the 'Jesus is a cunt' t-shirts are just to be provocative...if it gets their name mentioned in the press then that'd make it even better for them...their imagery and music videos are fiction/fantasy. Taking the "fuck christ" way of life as you put it seriously, or taking songs like Lord Abortion seriously, is kinda like taking songs like 'Grave Robbing USA' by Murderdolls seriously. Cradles lyrics also seem much better written than other bands (despite not really making any political points etc, they still are generally extremely well written). Cradles music imo IS good, its not like they just play any old noise...the musicians are actually talented and they don't just play simple power chords all the time like a lot of other bands.

The masks of Slipknot thing is a gimmick...but I don't really see the problem, I used to like a lot of their music and the masks thing was just something I thought was interesting at the time. Mushroomhead are one of my favourite bands now, and they wear masks as well (though they're of a higher overall quality of music than Slipknot anyway imo)

Hatebreed suck donkey bollocks, the singers voice is the worst ever and their lyrics are completely embarrassing.

Tbh I think image is an important and necessary thing for some bands. Even the whole 'we just wear jeans and t-shirt because we have no image' ideal is an image of in itself. Even if you disagree that image has a part to play, surely it is possible to like music whether close attention is paid to an image or not? Bands like Marilyn Manson and the Manic Street Preachers have all had to get shit off elitest critics for having strong emphasis on image, and yet both of these bands also often have meaningful lyrics and/or a point to make at the same time. Image shouldn't be more important than the music...but it'd be a fucks site duller if you saw Marilyn Manson, Wednesday 13 or Dani Filth just onstage in jeans and t-shirt with no make-up on [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

[r3n]

well i suppose u argue a good point, but i still think a bands music should sell them, not messages they put across to get attention, or the silly outfits they wear. i generally get music recommendations off music sites and so dont see the band itself until a. i see them live, b. i buy their album. so for me its from the band's music that i decide if i like them or not. if a band has important message along side their music like RATM then i dont mind, but aslong as the music doesnt drop in quality [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]. i didnt realise cradle based their image on Bmovies, guess i know now!

I love metal. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

MSI give everything ever, a bad name. They don't know if they're metal, rock, rap, or retard. They just throw random words together and say dumb meaningless shit. I classify them as rap due to thier worthlessness and lack of the ability to form a proper sentance.

Any From Autumn To Ashes fans here?

[Uchiha Barles]

Oooh, not a fan yet, but getting there. I heard a couple of songs on Music Choice from those guys. Mind recommending something from them?

v I can't remember the names of the songs I heard. It's bothering me. v

[Locke]

Try Alive out of habit, Short stories with tragic endings, milligram smile (they actually have a video of that, on launch.com), All I taste is what's her name, and The second wrong makes you feel right. I think that's more than enough songs to make you a fan.
