General Music Chat

I love ALL music........well......except modern country music which I find shallow and sticky and over sentimental.......

I'll pretty much listen to everything...


...at least 5 years old, this new music coming out these days is mostly crap, especially in the hip-hop / rap scene, and the new pop scene. That stuff sucks...

Other than that, I listen to it all.
I do have my genres of choice though, which are: Hard rock, Metal, industrial, techno/trance, house, older punk, and grunge...
cant forget the 80's hair, I love it!

I like anything that i can get in groove with. Mostly blues, jazz, and folk.
I also listen to alot of classic rock like CCR, Dr. Hook, Led Zep, Pink Floyd, and so many others i cant even think of right now.

I am a vocalist/songwriter. I love any thing metal. Some people vary there type of music, that's fine, I don't. Devourment and Disgorge are my two biggest influences. Heavy half time break downs are tha BEST! I hope that ansewers the what do I do and who do I like.

Blues, Jazz, Rock, Funk, crossovers . . .

Death Metal/Hardcore/Metal/Thrash/Metalcore

I like expermental bands and thrash metal/rock bands. Examples: The jonbenet, Heavy Heavy Low Low, Shed for you, The faceless, The number twelve looks like you, Blood brothers, the fall of troy, etc.

Malmsteen, Rhoads, Satriani, Vai, Trower, Eric Johnson, S.R.V. ......anything that burns the fret board or sounds soulful....Blues

Pretty much anything that grooves or rocks. From Fred Hammond (gospel), to Parliment, to Nickelback, to James Brown, to Coltrane.

Older stuff : Ozzy,Firehouse,Extreme,Dream Theatre,Journey,Van Halen.
Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam,The Cult,Damn Yankees.

Back then I liked screaming tenor soprano vocals with fast precise guitar solos.

Newer stuff: Killswitch Engage,Trust Company,Earshot, Static -x,Some Korn,Chevelle,Some Deftones,Three Days Grace,Breaking Benjamen,Disturbed,Staind,Audio Slave.

These days the solo has gone the way side and clean,Hard and even screaming vocals I like some times.

Rock. Metal, grunge, thrash, punk, classic.

Anything that has a bright sound. Don't care for 'angry music,' or anything with screeching in it . . . . 'caus I'm not an angry, screeching guy . . .

FUN Music. I get off on Power Pop stuff. I saw Aerosmith the first time they came to Detroit '73 and caught the bug then. I miss Cheap Trick and Black Oak Arkansas. I loved Hole! Rock and Roll is SUPPOSED to be fun. I been obsessed with a few bands signed to Idol records, latley. They seem (Idol Rcords) to hear the restless energy I long for from the bands they sign i.e. The Fags, Watershed, Flickerstick... Friggin Fun music!

Stax

Im a fan of 70's and 80's and thats the kind of band I want to start. But everyone wants to pull out the acoustics first whereas I wanna rock. Im a huge KISS, Ozzy, Queen and Black Label Society fan.

Jazz, Classical and Blues are what I listen to most.

As for playing/writing, mostly Blues, Celtic, Folk, Funk... but always with a strong jazz undercurrent.
