Thread: Music?

Metal for me. My fav bands at this moment are;

Bathory
Summoning
The Berzerker
Overkill
Mayhem
Manowar

And Non-Metal bands currently getting a spin;

Pink Floyd
Rush

A big Hail to any Metallers on the board.

hahhahahahah. Queens of faggotry.

Currently listening to Ramms+ein, music from DOOM (original DOOM and DOOM3), Seventh (you've probably never heard of them, but if you've ever played Operation Flashpoint then you've heard their music).

Also looking into other bands like:
Nine Inch Nails
Marylin Manson
Crade of Filth
Three Days Grace

Oh. Gawd.

manowar rules ^_^

Agh! Stop posting that baannnd!

Aghh!

Hahahahaha, well regardless of the loincloths I still like them. But wish I hadn't seen that... my respect goes down abit.

hhmmm let's see..... Ani Difranco ~ I could listen to her all day and not get tired of it, definitely one talented lady ( I am going to see her in concert next week actually wwooooohhhoooo I am so excited..)
Besides that there is a whole assortment... to name some

a lot of the older stuff like The Doors, The Beatles, Jimi, The Dead (sometimes, kinda worn out on them now though), Bob Dylan, Nick Drake, Tom Petty...... and of course some more motown/oldies style with The Temptations, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye

I like some newer bands but the majority is crap.... most have been listed already like Modest Mouse, freggin Chili Peppers rock, Ween (some... some is just stupid), White Stripes, Sublime......

And I like some rap..... not any of the bling bling shake ya ass type rap..... elevated conscious style educated rap... like Blackalicious (aka Gift of Gab) the first name is a little deceiving, but I am telling you he is amazing... talks about some really really deep things, download some of his songs if you haven't heard of him. A couple good ones are Release, and Chemical Calastetics...
other than him in that category I like The Roots.... rock on rhazel.... Deltron the funky homosapien.....Saul Williams (another person I strongly recommend you gettin some songs from..) Illogic, Jurassic 5, Lyrics Born....... all very educated people... not typical rap at all.....

Geessshhh sorry to ramble but dammnnn I love music....

Though, I've read the forum rules, I'm not sure if the rule regarding reviving old threads applies here in the Lounge. Most forums I go to discourage reviving old threads, but I'm going to guess it's OK here...

Regardless. I love music.

I love just about all music. I've recently been getting into some old 40's swing, via my drum instructer. I love all sorts of classical (which includes baroque, romantic, classical, etc.), jazz (especially jazz-rock fusion -- Spyro Gyra is the best ), and rock. Very few country, bluegrass, or folk music catches my attention, though there is a few I do like.

However, for the most part, Metal is my musical preference. All sorts of metal, from Black to Viking metal (going alphabetically by subgenre). Of course, there are a few subgenres I do not like, such as grind/metalcore, glam, and goth. I tend to stay away from those three 'Gs'. I'm a big fan of Progressive and Power metal, however. I have the chance to go to ProgPower in Atlanta this year, but unfortunately I don't have the transportation... That really bums me out.

A few favorite bands are Nightwish, Kamelot, Testament, Iced Earth, Fear Factory, DImmu Borgir, Children of Bodom, Old Man's Child, Rhapsody, Dream Theater (Mike Portnoy is a God on the drums), classic Metallica, Stratovarius, In Flames, and I could go on for days and days.

My ideal form of music combines a lot of ancient musical knowledge, with the contemporary ideas of progressive and power metal.

I imagine few of you know of the seven Modes, based on Pythagoras' system of music. Though, I'm sure all of you know about the "Ionian", C-Major scale, that just about all contemporary music is based on (not counting the major influences that the Indian raggas have had on our music today). The popularity of this scale is mostly due to the fact that it is built asymmetrically very identically to the human body. That may sound silly, but it has very subliminal effect on the body, often promoting good mental state.

However, there is another scale known as the Dorian mode; D to D. Unlike the other modes, the Dorian mode is completely balanced with the same intervals, on both sides of the mid point (G). This scale was actually very popular in ancient Greece, but was (for some reason I don't know) banned by the church, so isn't generally palatable to American or modern European listeners. Music based on the Dorian mode, however, tends to promote emotional, mental, and social health.

Thus, incorporating a lot of ancient knowledge, and modern day hard rock/heavy metal, I aim to create a new genre of "Healthy Heavy Metal." Go ahead and laugh, but I believe a lot of people could benefit from it
