quote:I like Dream Theater too, although my experience is limited to the album "Octovarium" and the song "The Spirit Carries On" from the album "Scenes from a Memory". From what I've heard of them, they are excellent, although not nearly as "progressive" as some people make out. -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go?

quote:Nu Metal does not necessarily mean that the band cannot be put into one specific box, take the bands Sentenced or To/Die/For, they can't be put into one specific box (except with each other), and are often mistakenly refered to as gothic metal, which anyone who has listened to The Sins Of Thy Beloved would know they are not, they however are metal. Often genres that differ slightly from Nu, such as New Wave Metal (Deftones), or Metalcore (Killswitch Engage), are labled as Nu, this is the only form of mistaking genres with Nu that I know of. :confused: Also, about the Metallica good or not good after Metallica all they've done is differ slightly in genre, they used to be Bay Area Thrash, after Metallica they went more of a thrash/hard-rock mix, it was only St. Anger that was the real downfall, and I hope they can recover with a good CD this time. :rolleyes: quote:!!!!!!BLASPHEME!!!!!! Although I would have to agree with you if the only album of theirs I heard was Octavarius, If you could get either When Dream And Day Unite or Images And Words you would hear real musical genius and perfection.

Dikiyoba mostly listens to the Lord of the Rings soundtracks and shocked some of Dikiyoba's friends the only day by listening to music with lyrics. Besides the obvious "That song has words!" they were speechless. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

I think the common feature of most Nu Metal bands is a slower tempo (than most types of metal, mind you), drop-tuned guitars, not usually double bass drums, and frequent recourse to growling-type vocals, like Slipknot or Korn. They also often have DJs, for some reason. I'm not a big fan. Personally, I'm an alt-rock man through and through, but my tastes vary pretty widely within the genre. I like Death Cap for Cutie and Interpol in terms of the softer stuff, and I like AFI for a bit more melodious hard rock. Rage Against the Machine brings the fury and the funk better than anyone, stupid politics or no. Metallica (pre-St. Anger) and Avenged Sevenfold are good straight-up power metal, and the Mars Volta can put a good song together in between acid binges. Arena-rock wise, I really like Weezer, and, unlike everyone else nowadays, don't much care for Greenday. I like the new stuff, but it's basically just Weezer songs with slapdash anti-Bush lyrics for the Rebellious Teen demographic, and the old stuff just never really did it for me. My pet genre, though, is grunge. Pearl Jam is basically just Arena Blues-Rock, but Gossard and Ament work great together, Irons laid a beat, and Vedder's got soul. Alice in Chains, well, Layne Stayley. I always thought Nirvana to be a bit overrated, Cobain's overused misunderstood-me act was inferior to the fun he had with folky kitsch in songs lake Like of Fire, but, you know, what sells sells. My favorite band, Soundgarden, gets called Grunge because they came from Seattle, but their sound was really more Black Sabbath heavy metal. Cameron was a beast on the drums and Cornell, well, he's my favorite musician/composer (singing is musicianship, right?), although I won't say he's the best or anything like that.

I don't really think Bon Jovi earned the title of making metal ;) But that's my opinion... :rolleyes: -------------------- There are 400 words in the dictionary that begin with "self" and only 8 that begin with "fellow".

quote:Hmmm... I'd rather stick with The Smiths and Meat is Murder by The Smiths for my musical genius and perfection. Still, thanks for the heads up. I'll look at Amazon now. Oh....and who was Christian Rock/Pop singer The Creator/Ash got to meet on the radio that time. Yes, that is vague... erm, she was hot. And talented. He made a thread about her, but I did a quick search and it turned up nothing. She's good, although not the best musician ever. -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start?

quote:I just heard that Metallica will bring out one more album and then they'll do one more tour, and then they'll quit! :eek: The Metallica site and their label don't report this, but a friend of mine is a member of the fanclub, and via the fanclub fans were informed with this information. This will mean a surtain end of Metallica, the first and (one of) the best metal band in the world, in less then 10 years... -------------------- There are 400 words in the dictionary that begin with "self" and only 8 that begin with "fellow".
