right, another silly/pointless/irrelivent tread from yours truely…
RIGHTY-O then, i have been into heavy metal since i was about 11 years old, i went through the standard progression, pop punk-nu metal-hardcore-speed metal-death metal….and now i am in a lovely little world of the heaviest metal around…
BLACK METAL and grindcore…
now my ‘rant’ if you will is based on the rather crued and snide remarks i have recevied over the many years about my taste in music. Although i do regularly have days were i’m goin completely bonkers and jumpin around falling over everything listening to heavy metal, within a split second i could be listening to elvis presley or the four tops.
Now some of my friends understand just how eclectic i am, and there used to my obtuse ramblings…
There was one person who try as i might, i could not get them to understand my music taste, the music on my phone goes from bands such as:
*anaal nathrakh-british blackened grindcore-possibley THE heaviest band out of britain ever…and two of the nicest blokes…
*(dont mock me) take that-only one song though, patience (because its a good tune and reminds me of yester year)
*Kanio-minimal techno genius
*Verra Cruz- christian rock band who really do rock out hard
*(this is lame i know) dolly parton…
then theres a irrelivent mix of dark D&B, dirty house, tons of IDM and some rather strange band from japan called mad capsules market who are proper odd, brutle but odd
But yeah, back to the point i’m attempting to make, a while ago a friend asked me what i was letening to, so i said “have a listen”. bareing in mind he knows me as Gary the psycho metaller, and to his shock i was listening to ceephax acid crew.
to say his face was a picture of shock/disgust is an understatment…
he couldn’t figure out that, yes, i loooove heavy metal, but that is not the only music in my life. yeah, wake up in the morning seek & destroy by metallica is a good wake up, but in his mind its all i listen to. trying to explain that i listen to music that suits my state of mind was like running a mile on your hands…
he didn’t get it, so after about 1 hour of explenation in thee most laimens way i could. i finally got it…
So, i’ve said what i wanna say, haha, i say what i like and i like what i say!
thanks for spending the time reading me moan about my life…
TA TA!

it annoys me to think that some people are soo closed minded about music, i listen to everything from ambient to wobble house….exept rap. raps poo
you say that then you label rap as being ‘poo’, lol.
I have got to say, heavy metal/black metal/grindcore (etc) is amongst a small few styles of music I have never been able to enjoy. no ryhthm. no soul. no character. no beat. nothing.
just screaming. bad vibes. ridiculously extended guitar solos. and general loudness, that no matter how high I get, still sounds painfully terrible.
Each to there own though man, listen to cypress hill a few times you will hopefully get a new outlook on the rap thing! :wink:raaa

Shame – maybe he is someone who pidgeon holes himself and uses his music as his identity?
I also have a huge huge variation in music tastes and styles – if I like it – I like it – it really is as simple as that!!
(and Dolly Parton rocks!! raaaraaa)
Alot of ‘metellers’ around my age progressed to dance music – I think as around the time it was also alternative and the lifestyle could also be seen to be alternative etc
i see what you mean… some people find it odd when one minute im listening to hard techno, the next minute ive got my guitar out and im playing classical spanish romantic music..
i like everything from reggae to dnb to techno to rap to flamenco to classical to acieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed…
except rnb, i hate that
i also likethe beatles
oh btw i like metal too… do u like rammstein?

Jawohl 😉
Nun liebe Kinder gebt fein acht
Ich bin die Stimme aus dem Kissen
Ich hab euch etwas mitgebracht
Hab es aus meiner Brust gerissen
Mit diesem Herz hab ich die Macht
Die Augenlider zu erpressen
Ich singe bis der Tag erwacht
Ein heller Schein am Firmament
Mein Herz brennt
I’ve always liked stuff in German (there was a lot of it in the 1980s, such as Falco (actually Austrian), Nena and Kraftwerk (who always sound better in their native language)

my heart breaks! love that tune.. i remember doing my year 8 english speaking & listening on that song :laugh_at:
there was more listening than speaking.
I couldn’t agree more with diverse love in music! Mine ranges from thrash metal / black / nu metal, post rock, oldies, to pop, trance, techno, dnb, jpop, ebm, idm, break-core, happy hardcore! and so much more ^_^
I get that all the time, i’ll be sitting listening to what ever metal band and then in comes a bit of 80s pop music, james brown, the beatles, jimi hendrix or something like that and people will look at me like i’m mentally insane o.o
metal is muddy talentless noise for angry teenagers
well thats what i say to piss off my missus who loves metal 😉
each to their own of course, never understood it myself though, even if i liked the sound of a distorted guitar i still find the songs lacking in complexity
I can’t stand metal. A while back I went to a small private gig which was played by my old school mates band called The Gallows and I fucking hated it.
Must of been in there a whole 15 minutes before leaving. :laugh_at:
Although they seem to be quite famous now so they must be doing something right! 😉
