Brace yourself.

(That is a "no", and most people here tend to question my taste in music.)

but the music sucks because the keyboards don't have the cold/mechanical sound they had but a wannabe techno sound that it's pathetic for Rammstein standars.

I am so much less picky than most people here it's amazing I haven't been pulled into an dark alley and had my ears gouged out yet.

I like avenged sevenfold . Their singer is kinda meh, but their lead guitarist and drummer are pretty fantastic. I think the guitarist studied jazz at MIT.

Supposedly they are moving away from screamyness... I will be watching that with some interest.

when I first listened to them I enjoyed them for about half a song but then I realised the whole album was pretty much the same as that half song and when I went back to it I didn't enjoy it much anyway

they're not really bad enough to justify me hating them but they are a pretty good definition of average. IMO

flaming lips are cool though!

Hey man, you shouldn't care if we don't like your music. I don't care that people probably hate me because I'm currently listening to Godsmack's acoustic record. If that's what floats your boat, listen to it. There's nothing me or they can do about it.

That's what I read... doesn't make a ton of sense, does it?

Ah... Musicians Institute of technology.

That's what I was worried about.  I took lessons from a guy who went to BIT, and I knew more about a number of aspects of music than he did.  I'm not talking about knowing types of music or bands, I'm talking about music theory.  I know very little about music now, and back then I knew even less.  I'm pretty damn sure that I'm a better player now, in my junior year of college, than he is having already graduated from a "music school."  That's my experience with Musician's Institute, and it doesn't say much about him as a player.

I'm not a fan, but i didn't like that kind of music when all the music snobs fawned over it, and I like it even less now that I have to hear it everywhere I go. My tastes run pretty consistently towards punk and rockabilly though, so anything that heavy and angsty wouldn't appeal to me.

Sure, Social D are a great live band, although I prefer their punk material to their rock and roll stuff. But they're still good.

I've only heard Avenge Sevenfold songs via music videos and both videos made me quite angry.  They were the metal/punk-loser equivilants of a 50 Cent. Capping your teeth with metal, wearing bandanas and having a really bad haircut doesn't make you cool. And the music didn't help.  

Listen to anything you want kids, but those guys are major tool-bots.

Avenged Sevenfold's guitarist does not 'tear it up'. Decent at best. And there is only room for one metal guitarist who also does jazz, and that guy is Alex Skolnick.

And also, Avenged Sevenfold is proof that emo and metal do not mix.

Quote from: Avenged Sevenfold

Slit my wrists, take away the pain.
Slit my throat, there's no one to blame.
Lost in the fields of confusion.
Restless nights, they're not far away.
I came here for something and I'm not turning back.
A calm piece of mind but you still hold my keys.
Keeping my fate deep within your threshold.
Petty inconvenience but it means the world to me.
You have the power.
To set me free.
Caught in your grasp, how?
Just let me be.
Give me control out.
Out of these depths.
A fiery hell.
I pray for death.
I've been the wrong one time and time again.
Now I'm on my knees forgive me please.
Tore out my heart and handed to me on a silver platter.
Sew up the hole, emptiness in the place of compassion.
You made me this way.
I am the product of your creation.
Look the other way.
Now you've turned your back on me.
You've turned away from me, the future's much to far away to see.
I hope you learn the truth, not the way things were meant to be with me and you.


Yeah, they're pretty emo.

No, they're really not. Check out the thread at the top of the forum with links to sites that explain why. I know it shouldn't bug me but I find the word handy and even use it about one of my own bands, and such blatant misuse could mean someone thinking I write lyrics like that and play music that sounds like the worst power metal ever. Urgh.

I'd define that as "angsty" or "trying really hard to appeal to angsty kids".


And opinion does not matter when talking about how much a guitarist "tears it up"; No, this is all scientific. See, we take their album, and we feed it into this machine, which gives a percentage. Totally 100% accurate.

yeah, I haven't heard them either, but I know several people who would agree their guitarist 'tears shit up' quite materfully. Not really people I would normally take the word of usually, so I'll have to check them out myself.

even if they do scream in a few songs, it doesn't mean all of them are bad. =cough=BloodBrothers=cough=

I heard one of their new songs. The video was retarded. It involved skulls with bat wings and strippers and a casino or something. And the solo sounded pretty..well, can we say "scale excercises?"

That video was a huge reference to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. And one of my friends played a burlesque dancer in that video. The song sucks, though.
