Author	Topic: Best musician or composer
Snafta Warrior Member # 6234	written Sunday, January 1 2006 08:51 Profile #0 In the first place: Happy new year everybody =) Second of all, i was wondering what your favourite musicians composer or songwriters are. Since a lot of different music is popular on this forum, i was wondering what your favourite type of music is and which artist or composer you think is the best. My (current) favourite music style is metal, and Edward van Halen is one of the best guitar players in the world, and he's my personal favourite :) . As for bands, i like Chimaira, Slipknot, Nickelback, The Darkness,KoRn and many more. So what is your favourite?

Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Sunday, January 1 2006 09:08 Profile Homepage #1 favorite composer, eh? there are many, many composers which I like: Wagner; Elgar; Tschaikovsky; Rachmaninow; Prokofiev; Mahler; Shostakovich; Bach; Beethoven; Bernstein; Del Borgo; Khachaturian; Britten; Holst. My favorite, the ultimate trombone player on earth: Christian Lindberg. he plays the flight of the bumble bee ona trombone. the ones who know how difficult the flight of the bumble bee is and how difficult playing on a trombone can be, can understand the quality of the playing of Lindberg. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Sunday, January 1 2006 14:58 Profile Homepage #2 I like composers. Especially, but not limited to, baroque composers. Best musician is an equally impossible choice, but I'll put in a vote for Dan Laurin, who is both a wonderful player and a wonderful person. He also has strong opinions on music and is not afraid to tell someone that what they are doing is the musical equivalent of drawing on the Mona Lisa with crayons. —Alorael, who will admit to partisan motives.

I know Paul McCartney plays many intruments and writes many great songs, so I'll choose him. As a fan of guitar I'd probably pick Eric Clapton. Good musicians aren't all commerical though; you can go to any local bar and hear some great music. Posts: 1233 \| Registered: Wednesday, October 3 2001 07:00

And there are a lot of good bands which i'm unaware of that they excist, but seem to make good music. And that's something i like about music, you can find new music over and over again, sometimes good, sometimes bad. it's some sort of a endless search, and i like that :) -------------------- There are 400 words in the dictionary that begin with "self" and only 8 that begin with "fellow".

Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Monday, January 2 2006 00:53 Profile Homepage #7 I actually didn't know you liked metal and rock and that sort of stuff, kelandon. That's something new for me. once I used to like it too, but since I play the trombone, that has faded completely.I mostly listen to Russian classical composers. What is it actually with classical music that people tend to think its boring? classical music can be very intense, and sometimes even have a beat. You just have to pick the right composer. Also, I know of a lot of bands (Maybe that's a bit exagurated) that use classical instruments, like the violin or cello. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

You don't know how happy i am to see that song! Golden Earring is a Dutch band and one of the few bands that is known worldwide. It's really cool to see that you listen to it. My dad is an enormous fan of them, and he was supprised when he read this. Really cool man, according to me, you have a brilliant taste of music. Golden Earring, Pink Floyd, Metallica, Led Zep, Nirvana... good stuff ;) EDIT: Thralni, i think people will think classical music is boring because they know to little about it. If you should search in that musicworld, anyone will find a classical music style he or she likes. And beside that, some people will see it as boring, because they can't dance on it... Matter of taste ofcourse. :) [ Monday, January 02, 2006 01:00: Message edited by: no chicken for sale here ] -------------------- There are 400 words in the dictionary that begin with "self" and only 8 that begin with "fellow".

Nicothodes Lifecrafter Member # 4682	written Monday, January 2 2006 06:59 Profile #9 I don't have any favorite groups or composers. For genre I mostly listen to rock or classical music. I must say though, that anyone who thinks classical music is boring should listen to the "Surprise Symphony". Just don't listen to it every day for weeks. It kind of loses the surprise element. I will never forgive my conducter for making the whole orchestra listen to the chamber orchestra practice... -------------------- Do not underestimate the power of the mechanical pencil.

premonition Shock Trooper Member # 3377	written Monday, January 2 2006 14:27 Profile #14 Music of the Romantics tends to be my favourite, particular those in symphonic form. Movie soundtracks as well ... and there are far too many composers of both genres for me to choose one. As for players... well, there's not a single thing I have yet heard conducted by Vladimir Ashkenazy that has not made me stop everything else until the piece is over.

What are you defining as "old" and "new"? If by "old" you only mean the Kill 'Em All album, then I can sort of see how someone could say this, even though I disagree. If by "old" you mean "everything prior to Metallica," then I point to "Fade to Black" off Ride the Lightning as one of many examples of the fact that they've been playing a variety of music all along. It wasn't all about thrash-metal even in the '80s. If by "old" you mean "everything prior to St. Anger," then you're a fair-weather fan for ditching a band after a single bad album. All the Green Day fans who ditched them after Warning are smacking themselves right now. Of course, I speak as one whose favorite Metallica song is probably "The Unforgiven." And I do think the Nabster controversy was rather stupid on their part. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Spring Shaper Member # 5450	written Monday, January 2 2006 15:28 Profile Homepage #19 I think the Metallica songs I have heard are good. Those songs are: Sad But True, Enter Sandman, One, St. Anger, and Fade To Black. -------------------- I'll put a Spring in your step. :ph34r: Posts: 2396 \| Registered: Saturday, January 29 2005 08:00
Milu Shock Trooper Member # 1249	written Monday, January 2 2006 15:40 Profile Homepage #20 I also prefer the old Metallica, by which I mean the album "Black" and things prior to that. Although I haven't heard St. Anger. But my favourite band was for a long time Black Sabbath. (Or their first 4 or 5 albums, the first being the best.)

Joseph Stalin Infiltrator Member # 5991	written Monday, January 2 2006 16:05 Profile Homepage #21 Okay Kel the "old" Metallica to most fans is everything before the Black Album.While some of the stuff after the black album is good, Metallica was better before Cliff Burton got killed.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Monday, January 2 2006 17:11 Profile Homepage #22 Then I'll repeat myself: what do you think about songs like "Fade to Black," then, which was an old song that sounded like something out of '90s Metallica? Much of Ride the Lightning sounds more like the Black Album (which is technically self-titled, despite its popular name) than it sounds like Kill 'Em All or Master of Puppets. I'm not trying to make an argument, here. I'm seriously asking if you hear a difference.

Joseph Stalin Infiltrator Member # 5991	written Monday, January 2 2006 17:30 Profile Homepage #23 Fade to black is one of my favorite songs by them actually. I liked the black album with the exception of the song Sandman which I dont care for. And yes I do hear a difference less screaming. ,but kill em all was when they were a garage band and still trying to figure out what they we're doing, still a good cd though.
