I was once at a Biohazard concert. SSomeone asked his girlfriend to marry him from the stage. The band kindly allowed this. Unfortunately, the girl never responded. So, it became sort of sad really soon.
But Biohazard was fun.
Thrillho:
The hardcore I've heard, I love. There's a passion and extremity to the music that I can identify with. Black Flag, for example. Their first album is practically aural mush, but the staggering emotion to it blows me away. Plus I love 'Six Pack.'
I also quite like some post-hardcore. I adore Refused's last album.
livingthelie:
oh, yeah, i love post-hardcore. planes mistaken for stars ranks as one of my all time favorite bands. and refused's last album rocks my socks.
biohazard is good stuff, but they have some shady members (i.e. their bassist having a sideline as a porn star). but, whatever makes them happy, right?
tommy, if you liked minor threat, maybe you should check out trial. their ep "are these our lives" while not a direct homage to those early hardcore bands, is still very obviously influenced by them. real good stuff.
livingthelie:
er...yes and no, i suppose. you see, all those bands are definately INFLUENCED by hardcore. but their sound is a little too different to really be considered pure hardcore.
ok, so yeah, that made me sound like a total snob, i know, but bear with me.
converge, who are awesome, don't consider themselves hardcore. i remember reading an interview with them in which jacob bannon described them in some incredibly pretentious way (i believe it was "emotional noisecore") and i just kinda laughed. cuz in the end, they're a convergence of sound and philosophy that attracts hardcore, metal, and indie rock kids alike. they are, in effect, "post-hardcore" (a similarly pretentious monikor, but better than nothing, eh?)
