'The Eve of the War' from The War of the Worlds Musical by Jeff Wayne.

I heard of it from my dad, and i said I liked it, so he bought it for me for christmas. It's a really great rock opera.

The entire Celldweller album by Celldweller. Just got the CD for Christmas. My favorites are:












Well, those are my favorites when I'm in a bad mood. When I'm in a good mood...? Well, I generally listen to music when I'm in a bad mood, but when I'm in a good mood, it doesn't really matter what I'm listening to.

'Midnight' from the album 'Beethoven's Last Night' by Trans-siberian Orchestra.

Interesting story behind the album; it's basically about the devil trying to bribe Beethoven for his tenth symphony. the devil even sinks so low as to threaten to harm a poor little girl.

I'm listening to a "new" band I discovered - it kind of embarasses me that I haven't known them before, since they've been around since the 70s. They're called The Fall and they make guitar-heavy music that explores rock music beyond the beaten track, and often enough off of the established notes

That aside, I've listened to a lot of Dead Can Dance lately. They're simply the most amazing (and I don't use that word lightly) musical project out there, if you ask me.

Do you have any links where I can sample some of their music?

There used to be a website which had a few very good unreleased tracks, but those are gone now. I guess the site they were on finally went down. So...sorry, no

Alright; I'll google to see what I can find. Thanks anyway.

Midnight by Trans-Siberian Orchestra. In this song, Beethoven finds out that he's going to die.

I got the older CD of Schoolyard Heroes recently, and have already established my favorite song.

It's called "Bury the Tooth of the Hyrda and the Skeleton Army Will Rise"

"There’s something eating me from inside out/ Guess it doesn’t matter what I say/ I cough up blood and words that I regret/ So long your attention has gone away.

These high school words have lost their power/ Their meaning bleeds right through this page/ I state my case and you impale yourself/ On points to you I wish I’d made/ Let’s just pretend this never happened and then we’ll be on our way./ Even with these scars I can’t remember Why we started anyway./ Your blood it stains me like a trophy/ When I wear it I’m ashamed/ Of what I was or what I am or every thing I could have been.

You want some proof? Crack open my skull./ Safe place where evil thoughts reside/ These underhanded gestures I make Do they help you sleep at night? Let’s just pretend this never happened and then we’ll be on our way./ Even with these scars I can’t remember Why we started anyway./ Your blood it stains me like a trophy/ When I wear it I’m ashamed/ Of what I was or what I am or every thing I could have been."

Real good song, that unfortunatly, I relate to far too much.

If you can't tell by my signature, I've been listening to a lot of Blind guardian lately. They're a german metal band, and they sing a lot about Lord of the Rings and other Tolkien works. Besides that, they are very good with their instruments.

When Sorrow Sang by Blind Guardian.

You are sooo right Danny.....i was very pleased when I saw your sig.....I like them very much also. unfortunately I don´t know so many titles but! my daughter has some cd (burnt one) which I listen to with pleasure.....

BlindGuardian is really very good!

Right now I'm listning to Led Zeppelin - Communication Breakdown... Well what can I say - It's Led Zeppelin Not all of the songs fall into taste but it's one of those I like listning to sometimes inbetween...

Zeppelin is always a good choice.

As of now I am listening to...

Trapt - Stand Up (RAWR! I WANA PUNCH SOMEONE!!11)
Jet - Cold Hard B!t@h
Flogging Molly - Seven Deadly Sins (ftw)
Brad Paisley - Alcohol
Nickelback - Animals
Raffi - Banana Phone (also ftw)
Sean Paul - We Be Burnin
Phantom Planet - California
Lit - My Own Worst Enemy
T-Pain - I'm Sprung (.. not a ftw)
Vertical Horizon - Best I Ever Had
The BloodHound Gang - The Bad Touch ( )
The All-American Rejects - Dirty Little Secret
Third Eye Blind - Semi-Charmed Life
Juelz Santana - There it Go
Nazereth - Hair of the Dog (From the Lords of Dogtown.. which looks awesome)

Thats all I care to write down for now

For the time I've been listning to more of A Perfect Circle. In the start I had to get used to their music which I find a little bit wierd, but now I really have listened to alot of their stuff...

Mostly The Outsider, Hollow, Judith and Blue is my favorites.

I really notice in the sounds how I just tend to notice the drums and vocal more then the guitar which I do in more bands. They really bring out the rythm drums, and as I start listning deeper I can hear the great guitar going smoothly in the background driving the whole song - and their lyrics ain't bad either, at least that's what I think.

Their songs are very chill, not that fast and loud but a nice line through out the song which I find great with A Perfect Circle...

Here's the lyric from The Outsider, if you haven't heard any songs from A Perfect Circle then I think you should try it out

BTW... This is not 100% right, at least from what I can hear... Gonna see if I can find the right one*

Edit; the one now should be right

I recently had my attention caught by Tom Waits. Apparently he's beeen around for quite some time, but he's pretty underground and doesn't get very much coverage. Even so I've found his work to be AMAZING.


At the moment I'm listening to "God's Away on Business"

I've been listening to In Flames, a lot lately. Maybe you've heard of them Minque, they're from Sweden, though i think they're more popular in america.

Besides them i have been listening to Boston (Peace of Mind Rocks) and As I Lay Dying

In Flames is indeed a good band, been listning to some of their songs... Episode 666 and Man Made God, those two are great - I really like the guitar and the overall flow in their songs.

I'll add that I'm listning to some Hammerfall now... A band I listened to more before, but no doubt - Great music indeed, real power metal. The guitar on some songs is so freaking amazing...

Hearts on Fire and Brothers in Arms are my favorites... but right now I'm listning Run with the Devil, and I have to say that I could marry the guitar in that song, I think it's simply great... but it's just me

Carry me home-Living End. Good old punk rock, I really dislike the new bands who call themselves punk like blind 182 but this is good old fast punk ROCK. Don't think their known much outside of NZ and Austrialia.

Go watch Down by Law. Good movie, and he's showing his acting talents in it.


I for one am listening to Fear Factory right now. Love them with all my heart, especially the 2001 album Digimortal. They also made this really cool cover of Gary Numan's "Cars", I think together with him. I like the fact their music is melodic yet hard metal, with an interesting if somewhat outworldly and sinister theme (the eventual rise and domination of machines over mankind).

Must, hear, good, punk, band. I demand a website! It seems today that punk is mainstream (If a punk band sells like, ten thousand million albums in a week and is constantly on the radio and Much Music and MTV, they're not punk) which ofcourse, is hypocracy. Punk is supposed to be the underground, the resistence, but now every twelve year old girl with a bracelet and a Hot Topic shirt think they're Joey Ramone, even though they don't actually know any Ramone songs. Thats why I have faith in Indie and local bands, because its rare they sell out or get too popular.

Well, enough of my rantings, lets get to the music. KC Accidental by Broken Social scene. I recomend this to everyone who likes music, drums and eleven member bands. Really awesome some that I want to learn on guitar.

Oh, and Here's the link, Scallywags.

Just because a lot of people like a band, doesn't mean they sold out. It means a lot of people like them. That's all. I don't understand why everyone has to listen only to bands that nobody else has heard of.

Punk bands should want to be popular, that way their message is more widespread.

Still mainly Celldweller, their music doesn't get old fast. (I finally found one other person who knows of their music!) Come on, somebody tell me they've heard of them, even if you don't like them! Here, check out the Celldweller site. You can hear some of their music here, just parts of three of their songs, but it's enough to get a sample. I dunno what to classify their music as, it varies from track to track. I believe they classify themselves as indie rock. The main guy in the band is Klayton, from Circle of Dust. (90's industrial rock) I think he changed his name a bit, he does it pretty much every time he's got a new project. I think it was Clayton (with a C instead of a K) when he was with Circle of Dust.

Depending on the reviewer and individual song, Celldweller is classified as electronica/metal, electro-orchestral, techno, heavy rock, alternative rock, nu-metal, and a bunch more. They're compared to Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, Uranium 235, Korn, Disturbed, Marilyn Manson, Nickleback, Creed, Fear Factory, and Skinny Puppy, depending on the tracks they play.

Besides my ongoing love of Celldweller music, also listening to a couple of older songs right now.

Judas Priest-United

Upbeat enough to put me in a good mood for a while.

Styx-Everything is Cool

This could be my motto most of the time.

EDIT: Nope, when Klayton (from Celldweller) was with Circle of Dust, he was, depending on when it was, either Scott Albert or Clay/Klay Scott.

Brave New World - Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds.

Dug out my old Album of Heart. Pretty much been listening to that for a few weeks.

Listening to some early 80s music: John Foxx.

Foxx has been an influental member of Ultrafox in the late 70s before they had their biggest hit with the song Vienna. After leaving the band under -I think- unhappy circumstances, he persued a solo carrier that never really took off. However, his music and his style are appreciated a lot by a few people, including me. Noteworthy songs include "Europe after the rain" and the experimental "Film One".

Placebo vs Kosheen - Hide The Bitter Placebo (DJ Sandstorm)

HUlloooZ all, I've been away for a while... if you ask me what I'm listening to (globaly) the answer would be Nine Inch Nails - "With Teeth" LP. This is one angry, energetic and intelligent album, but it also has some darker, more depressive notes so if you don't like NIN just turn away from it... otherwise, get it, by all means. It's NIN in it's rawest

EDIT: Right now it's NIN- "The hand that feeds", a definite anti-song (or a protest song, if you like it more that way) - just listen to its words while you're dancing to those funky rhytms...

EDIT2: Thanks, mr. Chief Owl Spotter it's good to be back !

That's funny. Just a while ago I was listening to a song that NiN guy wrote, covered by....Johnny Cash!

Right now though, it's Black Uhuru. Excellent Reggae from a while ago, but not as dry and farty (sorry) as Bob Marley and the rest of those sleeping pills =)


Edit: Welcome Back!

Still listning to In Flames for the time. I've listened to Only for the Weak many times now, really like the song, how it goes, simply everything!

Money - Pink Floyd.

Classic. While some of Pink Floyd's songs can be tedious to listen to (save me from that five minutes of the same little effect!), I still love them.

I know, I just don't like bands that lie to their fan base or murder all of their ideas to make a new million doller album. I still like Led Zepplin and their not exactly underground.

The song? Chivalry is dead and yet we live. The artist? Me. I'm trying to get a somg down right now, nothing special, just a soft rock song.

Hypnotize album. System of a down

great music when you are feeling particularly spiteful

Deify You - Disturbed

I like their new album. I like listening to it while playing Silent Hill 2. My favorite song on their album would be Guarded.

I've been listening to it everyday since Christmas. Hehe.

Zarexaij-Yeah, Disturbed is good. Well, talented, anyways, I think they'd be classified as evil, rather than good.

Two points to anyone who can guess this. (Actually, it's changed somewhat, it's more than just Celldweller now, or I wouldn't be posting)

First of all, I'm now listening to the songs, both backwards and forwards, on this site. Backmasking is interesting, even if some (most) of it can easily be attributed to coincidence and the power of suggestion.

I'm also now listening to a multigenre band called Fornever. For an example of their work, check out this site, they released some of it for free listening.

Also, due to my new interest in backmasking, I decided to listen to the (yes, here they come) Celldweller songs looking for backmasking. I haven't found any messages yet, but the music sounds almost as good backwards as it does forwards. It's been edited over so many times, that it still sounds great. I'm also using Audacity to remix the Celldweller songs on my own, see what kind of thing I can do to them. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to make any really nice improvements as of yet, and any minor improvements aren't anything you'd really notice much. I'm also listening to the Switchback music video, which can be found here. Gotta love rockers dancing in dresses. I know, I'm a freaking fanatic. Only thing I can say in my defense is that I haven't started stalking them. (yet)


Also listening to the Emo Song. Note: Probably NSFW (not safe for work). Also, don't watch it unless you either: a, hate Emos, or b, have a bad sense of humor like I do. This video mocks Emos pretty badly, and this would be pretty offensive (even to me, a non-Emo) if I didn't have such a horrible sense of humor. Only watch this if you can sit back, laugh, and enjoy the humor. It's not funny to normal people who are tolerant of the Emo fad. It will be funny if you hate the Emo fad, or if you have an evil, horrible sense of humor like I do. In particular, it mocks Emos for: their hair, being homo/bi, their hair, their taste in music, their hair, cutting themselves, hating life, their hair, etc..

That's all for now. My taste in music (beyond Celldweller) is pretty limited, and, as they should be releasing another album in 6 months or so, don't expect it to end anytime soon.

EDIT: Fixed BBCode error

Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt - The Mars Volta

I still can't get over how this band seems so chaotic, yet so harmonious. It's baffling. All the parts seem so independent, but somehow, it all comes together and flows nicely.

Dream Theatre stuffs.

Oh yes i love the Mars Volta. They're so unconventional, you really can't say they aren't original. I agree totally, they're chaotic, and calm at the same time which is what sets them apart from almost all bands

Right on. You two have excellent music tastes.

OMFG! I haven't listened to Celldweller since my last post here! I'm now listening to a gothic/techno band called Echochild. The vocalist is female, so the sound is... somewhat surprising. They have some of their stuff on Soundclick. Soundclick has free LEGAL music. It's legal because it's from small bands that use Soundclick to promote their work, so they can compete with big bands. Here, here's their Soundclick page.

Specifically, I'm listening to one song in particular. Not completely sure on the lyrics, but I'll do my best.

This is just one section, the chorus, and it's repeated a lot. There are some words that I'm missing, but you can get this song at the link above, so...


Depressing, I know. I said it's gothic, what are you expecting?

Pogues - If I Should Fall From Grace With God

Whenever I feel down for any reason, this song picks me up and gives me a little part of that ol' strenght & courage I had long time ago...

P.S.: Pogues - Sick Bed Of Cuchulainn (This is, however, overkill fighting song, for small nations and brave, but idiotic individuals)

Listning to the newest album of Amulet, got it as a late Christmas gift from a friend and I just have to say it's great, they have really done a great job with the songs!

As I said before, Amulet - All that is Solid melts into Air... My favourite norwegian band!

Been listening to a lot of Iron Maiden today, they rock. although i still like Metallica more

[Edit]Yeah, Metallica and Iron Maikden rock![/Edit]


I found some of my dad's old music lying around on the comp, in a file which I had forgotten about, and found some songs I liked. Thus far, I've been primarily listening to:

Quiet Riot- Come on, Feel the Noise

Obviously, being a fairly typical male in at least some ways still, the first four lines interest me. And I like it when a person can critisize themselves (lines 8 and 9), it's good for you.

Quiet Riot-Slick Black Cadillac

I love cars. Another typical male trait I still have, despite my oddness.

Quiet Riot- Bang Your Head-Mental Health

I'm a hard-rock headbanger at times, I can't help but love this song. And there are numerous cases in our area of councelors telling "the people in charge" about things that are mentioned in confidence, in supposedly confidential meetings. hasn't happened to me, because I avoid speaking to councelors unless absolutely necesary, in which case I talk the same way I do to my parents. (limited to *shug* *shake head* *nod* "Yeh" "Meh" "Neh") So I'm not at risk for that, but others that I know have had that happen to them. Plus my inherent distrust in those who have power of any kind over me. So I have to like the mental help part as well as the headbanger part.

Rainbow-Since You've Been Gone

Dunno why I like this one, really. I don't like most relationship songs, but I like the rythm to this one.

With the exception of the last one, these songs are much lighter than my usual industrial/metal/goth/electronica style music that I usually listen to. I've noticed I've been a bit happier (not much, but just enough that I managed to notice) since I've been listening to this stuff. I still like the music from before, but it has it's time and place. When I'm POed, ticked off, and I have serious problems going on, then it's time to bring out the heavy music. But when everything's going fine, happier rock, more lighthearted stuff, works much better for me.

I'm kinda like LoneWolf today; except I don't think that Metallica is better.

Fear of the Dark - Iron Maiden.

To each his own
As a matter of fact, i'm listening to Metallica right now lol, specifically Through The Never

I'm listening to these guys:

Is that really southpark? What episode?

He probably used a character creation game and then photoshoped them to perfection. Well done! I think thats the first time I've seen someone do that without making it look like crap.

Anyways, the theme song from Doom. I can't remember who its by, but I'll find out and edit later.

It looks fake, but I have to make sure.

Anyways, out of boredom, I'm gonna name the DT band members.

In order from left to right : John Myung, Jordan Rudess, James LaBrie, Mike Portnoy, John Petrucci.

Correct?

It wasn't difficult. It says their names on the top.

Oh, and I didn't do it, some guy named Matt Smith did.

I was wondering when someone would catch that.
