All Music, All Rock

[drenrin2120]

So, what's your favorite bands? Are you even into rock? It's very simple, discuss bands, songs, concerts, guitarists. Heard any undiscovered talent lately? Then do tell. I'll start...

My favorite band is a welsh band, Lostprophets. They've made it big in the UK and with their coming album and new single, I think they're gonna be one of the first UK bands to really rock the US. I just love them that much. Anyone ever heard of them?

Other bands I like:

Offspring
Smile Empty Soul
Three Doors Down
Sublime(It's more Raegge/ska, but w/e)
Greenday

Yeah, I love music threads.

I´m only into rock. And almost all of it´s expansions. But, if I had to say a favourite genre, i´d be stuck with  Hybrid Punk-Metal rock (Offspring), Grunge, Hard rock and "Silverchair".

I say "Silverchair" as a genre cause they´re a band apart the others. Daniel Johns is a genius lyric writer and musician (not guitarrist, watch what i´m saying). Silverchair can be fit in some genres, but each album in one (Frogstomp would be grunge, Freak Show would be hard rock and so on).

Other than Silverchair my favs are Offspring, Pearl Jam, Metallica, Soundgarden, Less than Jake, Green DAy etc

My fav instrument would be the guitar, and that´s why i´m so damn fascinated by rock. I said DJ ain´t a guitar genius when he actually is, but I said that because my favourite guitarrists are Kirk Hammet (Metallica) and Kim Thatyl (sp?) from Soundgarden...

Best drummers...well, I guess I´d say Tre Cool (Green Day) or that guy from Dream Theatre. I like Lars Ulrich too (Metallica), but he´s such an arse...

Bassist...I´d go with Flea. And Greg K, from Offspring.

EDIT1: Yeah, Lost Prophets. I like em, though I liked them much more when they came around and there was that explosion around them...now, taking a closer look at them, I´d say they´re a regular band, with nothing much special. Still, a nice band. Try Finger ELeven, they´re more...they´re more. And Breaking Benjamin, cause they don´t scream that much.

EDIT2: ABout screaming, best 2005 song, to me, would be Scream, by Slipknot. I´m not really into them, that they ruled on that song.

Dear God, and you said System of a Down and Counting Crows sucked?

I like shitty bands like Linkin Park and 3 days grace, but I also like cool bands like NOFX and other unpopular punk bands.

... and weird al.

I'll give you Urge Overkill, but the VU is one of the most influential bands of the 60's. I really could care less about their hits, every single of their songs is a work of art. Have you ever heard "The Murder Mystery"? "Sister Ray"?

[Desimodontidae]

What I like? Classic rock, metal, black metal, and some death metal, classical, shred, video game music... really anything that sounds good to me. I also like a lot of 80s music. A few bands to sum up what I listen to:

Mayhem
Satyricon
Dimmu Borgir (older stuff)
Slayer (Seasons in the Abyss and earlier)
Pantera
Led Zeppelin
Deep Purple
Lynard Skynard
REM
Depeche Mode
Steve Vai
Nine Inch Nails
Shadows Fall
In Flames

Yeah... I dont really like a lot of nu metal bands and all these trendy punk **** people. Slipknot, Im become less and less of a fan, Atreyu sucks, Good Charlet (yes I spelled it wrong) sucks, Marylin Manson sucks, The Used sucks, My Chemical Romance Sucks, HIM sucks, System of a Down sucks, and Matchbox Romance sucks. I could go on, I think I'll stop myself before I make people angry.

indeed.


I like some Manson (mainly Mechanical Animals and Holy Wood stuff) because Jeordie White is an amazing composer. Other than that, I think hes only meh.

[Desimodontidae]

Manson... well, I like some of the sounds, but not so much the image that he's creating and influencing. Of course, he's no Robert Smith.

Main thing I don't like about Manson is how easily his message is misinterpreted by stupid mall goths. He makes quite a few references to Nietzsche on Mechanical animals. The majority of the album talks of the lack individuality and emotionless life that mdern society imposes, but people can't get past the morbid imagery and analogies.

Of yours, those are the ones I really appreciate. I mildly like a lot of the non-punk stuff on your list, but I really like these bands.

[drenrin2120]

Yes, ska... a fairly new genre to me. But still, sublime has got some nice tunes.

True, but I'm talking newer age stuff. I'm really not a person that can get into older classical, sure I appreciate for the fact that it breeded all types of Rock Music out today, but I'm lookin' to the future man.

I love their song Passion. :p


For me, If I hear a song by a band, and I like it, it doesn't mean I like the band. Like crossfade for instance, their song Cold, was alright. I heard alot of their other stuff and I didn't like it too much. But when I heard Colors, god, I love that song. But their other songs (the ones I've heard) are crap to me.
