Re: THE METAL THREAD!!! \m/

I hate Rammstein >.< From the new album, I've only watched the reeeeeeeeeeally controversial music video. Guess no one was paying much attention to the song though....(it sucked anyway).

Thorn, I like doom but not black. xD

Re: THE METAL THREAD!!! \m/

Eeh umm.. imo the single Pussy is far best song on the Lp tho' I find it's always weird when they try singin in English :d

So if you don't like it there's no need to get the album. Other quite enjoyable tracks are 'Liebe ist für alle da' and 'Roter Sand'. Roter Sand is a slow song, for fans of Ohne Dich and Rosenrot .. there are also some harder tracks like 'Waldmanns Heil' and 'Rammlied' for those who enjoy the hard Rammstein beats.

But don't think Rammstein became softy and all.. if you're looking for disturbing gore lyrics' like in Mein Teil 'Ich tu dir weh' is even sicker

All in all I'd say it's a mediocre Lp, the only plus is that they've covered a lot of different genres and tastes with it, but like already said,.. I really could enjoy 2-3 tracks.

I really like Liebe Is Fur Alle Da IMO. Rammlied is epic, I especially like the Rammlied Thrash Remix that they supposedly got Machine Head to make for them, which is sweet. There is double bass throughout the whole thing . The song Waidmanns Heil and Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da are two of my favs. I agree that its not the "best" Rammstein album yet as a whole I still enjoy listening to it a lot.

Thorn, I like doom but not black. xD

That,s good to know. Can you name few of them, so I can get to know your taste a bit more?

Mine favorites are:

1. Thorns of the Carrion
2. Draconian
3. Forest of Shadows
4. Saturnus
5. Whispering Gallery
6. Hanging Garden

If you haven't listened them, you should give them a try. I am sure you wont be disappointed. My favorite song is "The Story of the Leaves" by Thorns of the Carrion. Its a majestic song, best flute played ever.

Fave Bands:
1. Iron Maiden
2. Rush
3. Dio
4. Van Halen
5. Mr.Big (Not heavy, but Billy and Paul are friggin' gods!)
6. Black Sabbath
7. Judas Priest
8. Megadeth (ONLY with Dave Ellefson)
9. Metallica (ONLY with Cliff Burton)
10. Arch Enemy
11. Dethklok

I see some oldies, have listened to them all except for Dethklok. Mr. Big reminds of Wild World, it used to be one of my favorite ballad at one time. Your list is pretty much a-must list for anyone listening to rock/metal.

Re: THE METAL THREAD!!! \m/

I mainly listen to old metal. The newer ones that are out nowadays it just a bit too noisy, and a tad too "processed" for my taste.

Indeed, I also don't listen to the new age heavy metal. The music has evolved and I don't like experimenting with the original sound that heavy metal used to have.

Re: THE METAL THREAD!!! \m/

Well, I am open to change, my only problem is that with the recent changes guitar and bass tones have deteriorated. Guitarists just go for the most aggressive tones they can find, where as bassists compromise tone just to be heard... It's a sad thing, specially for a musician like me.

 

[CBlitz]

Re: THE METAL THREAD!!! \m/

which is why I mostly listen to melodic metal

Re: THE METAL THREAD!!! \m/

I don't really listen to a lot of metal.....but here's a list of a few I like:

Slipknot (don't like most of the newer stuff)
Rage Against The Machine
Atreyu
Bullet For My Valentine
Slayer
Five Finger Death Punch
Tool
Avenged Sevenfold (maybe metal?)
Korn
Disturbed

And there is probably more I just have a bad memory. I really like Metalcore and Nu Metal the best. Don't like Black and Death Metal. And I'm like the only person at my school who is not obsessed with Metallica (especially since Guitar Hero), I only like like 4 or 5 of their songs at best. Just not my thing.

Re: THE METAL THREAD!!! \m/

Oh look, a metal thread. I used to be really into metal, but then I started listening to Springsteen and kinda mellowed out from there, but I still love listening to metal, and blasting it in my car.

Favorite bands include:

Children of Bodom, Wintersun, Finntroll, Dark Tranquillity, X Japan, the Black Mages...

Some At the Gates is rad, so is Ensiferum. Rush too if you want to count them.

Yes, Avenged Sevenfold is metal, lol. Especially their older stuff like Waking the Fallen and City of Evil. They are working on a newer album from what I hear. I can't wait for that, I could use something new from them right about now, lol.

I hear so much crap about what is and isn't metal nowadays, I don't even like to risk it lol I used to be real into Avenged Sevenfold but recently I just don't seem to care about them as much. Their new album doesn't excite me at all. If they make songs like Critical Acclaim and Scream then I will probably be happy (P.S. those were my favorite songs of their latest album ) but even though I like Afterlife, I hope they don't put out another song like it cause it will probably get overplayed and make me want to shoot my tv and radio like Afterlife did.

lol, you are right in saying that the genre of metal has gotten so vast that it is hard to clarify what is metal. I have some confidence in doing so because I actually took the time to try and figure most of it out and in general I have a good feel for a good part of it. By all means there are sooooooo many sub-genres of metal that can easily be disputed only to have no resolution. Most bands these days fall under 2 or more of these sub-genres so it is easy to say that one band can fit multiple characteristics of a these said genres.

As for A7X, their newer album is less heavier than their other ones. They kinda broke out of the "metal" scene for some of their songs, like Dear God and Afterlife. You still see their heavy side in songs like Critical Acclaim and Scream as you mentioned yourself. As a band they are still metal, but they ventured into lighter territory with some parts of the album. I still liked it though, just not as much as their earlier albums. I am hoping their new album in the works does take a step back though and gets a bit more heavier .

---

So I was trying to look for some new bands using Pandora and came across this really interesting band Eluveitie. They are like a Celtic Melodic Death Metal band. They've got bag pipes and everything along with their death growls and double bass, lol. Its an interesting mix but I am really enjoying it a lot. Plus I'm of Irish ethnicity so I kinda have a natural taste for some Irish music anyway. Its just really cool to have these two types of music mash up together.

Re: THE METAL THREAD!!! \m/

Tales of Dark-Of Grandiose Fevers and Passion Arcane is one of my favorite song. Great vocals, great lyrics, .......just try it. Its not the full song, shortened for video.

I'm not so much into metal, but I just LOVE Judas Priest.

No one can go wrong with Priest.
