cradle of filth is a good death metal band. Some good songs are hollowed be thy name(Iron maiden remake), suicide and other comforts and her ghost in the fog.
Also In Flames is a good metal band.
I dont know what alt. hardcore is but some good hardcore bands are... it dies today , Darkest hour , scars of tomorrow
If you like hardcore music like these bands i can name more.
death metal = garrrrrrrbage.
lets hit stuff really hard and yell inaudibly and call it music.
<midas06> im goign to play a sng

What I've been listening to lately:
Refused
Underoath
Against Me!
The Strokes
Coheed and Cambria
Panic! At the Disco
Motion City Soundtrack
Incubus
O.A.R.
Aesop Rock
Atmosphere
I have such weird music tastes.

for a comprehensive look at what I've been listening to.
killian check out the felix culpa...they are a chicago band..their good album is called commitment, though by looking at that site you might like their new one too..but the first one fucking rocks
oh and death metals blows my wiener
you obviously have never heard good death metal.
it's okay to be narrow minded!
ah and dthorne04, i love incubus.
Actually, I gave Opeth a listen a few weeks back. I didn't really enjoy it much.. And it's not that I'm narrow minded, I just listen to good music only :P . JUST kidding I have my own guilty pleasures.
Very nice. Theyr'e amazing...Talking about music got me looking through my old list tonight...
I haven't listened to Our Lady Peace (who didn't love Clumsy, honestly), A Perfect Circle, Tool, or Jeff Buckley in too long. All good stuff.
Poney Part 1?
The band I think of when someone says alternative rock is Oasis. And they suck so hard they blow. What is alt rock anyways? I hate how everyone needs to compartmentalize music. "Oh I listen to melodic black grind-core/math-rock, everything else sucks." wtf
Good to see some Opeth fans up in here. Freechu you should really give them a chance, especially if you're into good drumming. Check out Damnation- it's probably their easiest album to get into, if you want to listen to something heavier listen to Blackwater Park/Deliverance.
You should also check out Mars Volta's first LP if you haven't already. It will make your head spin. I'm not too fond of their latest album, but then again I haven't really given it a chance.
Also, for you self-proclaimed metalheads, I have one word for you: ZAO.
Where can I find these guys? I found a band out of Germany with that name on MySpace, but I got the feeling it wasn't them and didn't listen. Most German music makes me want to do horrible things to good people.Quote:

what can i say? i have an eclectic music taste.
and death metal still blows.
the mars volta is AWESOME ... "televators" is just the best song.
"deliverance" is probably one of my favorites.
at least some of your music doesnt suck ass.Quote:

also, dredg is good times, as are glassjaw and head automatica.
i wish i could think of more, but i'm mad tired/tipsy after a kick ass birthday.
also, if you like punk at all, give refused a listen. honestly. good shit.
Yea Refused and Underoath are both great bands. The Shape of Punk to Come and The Changing of Times are flawless albums. Also, At The Drive-In's Relationship of Command fucking rules, I've hurt my neck listening to that LP.
IMO, I believe the days of good metal are behind us. Nearly every new release has left me disappointed. Opeth's Ghost Reveries is meh(the frontman got married, figures), Arch Enemy's latest album is passable, yet uninspired, ETID's Gutter Phenomenon is gay, doesn't compare to their first two, Underoath's new album with their new singer is an embarassment(they should've just broken up instead), Darkest Hour's Undoing Ruin sucks donkey(not that they were much good to start with, all they do is try to sound like At The Gates). The metal scene is dying I tell you, especially in the U.S. Instead of thrashing, screaming and rocking the fuck out, these bands are going soft, singing about wishy-washy feelings and getting dumped by their boyfriends in high-pitched emo voices and just being emasculated homos. Not that there's anything wrong with being gay.
This pretty much sums up my feelings on the state of music today.

Get the joke, dthorne? I'm so hararious.
Hell fucking yeah. Pantera > all. RIP dime :(... fucken Opeth rock too, but they progressive death. Cradle of Filth are an attempted BLACK metal band. Kak band. Thrash still owns all. Old school (pre black) metallica, megadeth, slayer, anthrax, voivod, testament ooooh yeh, thats the shit.Quote:

opeth is hardcore
my musical tastes fall somewhere in here:
satriani
vai
dream theater
chili peppers
audioslave
Death Metal can be educational and nutritious. It builds strong bones and teeth. It teaches valuable life lessons such as "Wow, that chair hurt my back!", and "Dude, did you just kick me in the face?"
I tend to fall into this range too. To me, stuff like Pantera isn't music. It's just screaming set to noise. But hey, it's a free country.Quote:

"I'm gonna rip your skull off and f**k your bleeding eye sockets". :shock:
Nice.....
Makes me think my drinkin' and cheatin' songs (Merle Haggard, George Jones, Johnny Cash, etc.,) weren't so bad after all LOL :D
i don't even really know what alternative rock is. but... i like stuff which often gets labeled alternative. and i do rock.
currently i am listening twit-twoo:
decemberists - picaresque
the strokes - first impressions of earth
arctic monkeys - everything you say i am, that's what i'm not
sufjan stevens - illinoise
wilco - kicking television (live in chicago)
all at the same time, in fact.
loud noises!
i did not use a single capital letter in this whole post. pop fact, pop pickerS
ah crap
Gwar is a joke, never speak of them again. They make Slipknot look cool.

Pah! Lightweights. A friend of mine, for reasons best left to himself, owns an Anal Cunt album, with such charming titles as....
"I Became A Rape Counselor So I Could Tell Rape Victims They Deserved It"
"I Made Your Kid Get A.I.D.S So I Could Watch It Die"
"I Intentionally Ran Over Your Dog"
and the classic
"You Robbed A Sperm Bank Because Your A Cum Guzzling Fag"
We even put it on once.
/shudders at memory
Great stuff....Quote:

Vitalic ne one?
Eww VQ you disappoint me, I hate HATE Audioslave ...
Anyone like Avenged Sevenfold? I despise their new stuff, they're becoming mainstream and it pisses me off. Their old stuff from two years ago (when no one knew who they were) is awesome though.
U dont like Bat cOuntry?
That is a horrible song. I hear it everywhere. I'm sick of it! They played it as their encore the last time I saw them live, and it made me very sad.Quote:

This is what I'm talking about. You should check out a band called Pinback. Oh, and Possessed, I love MV and ETID..I saw Volta live and I'm seeing ETID in a week... the Volta show was one of the best experiences of my life.Quote:

The old stuff worth a listen? I downloaded the new one and deleted it within a week.Quote:

Deftones...Circa Survive, Neutral Milk Hotel, Project 86, The Postman Syndrome, Built to Spill. More bands to give a listen to out of a wide range...
Vitalic aren't bad. Joanna Newsom anyone?
YES!!! I don't blame you for deleting the new song, it SUCKS. I hate it. ***ing mainstream bullshit. Download "I Won't See You Tonight" (parts one and two, although two is iffy) and "Remenissions", those are my favorites by them.Quote:

The Advantage (best Nintendo-core band in existence)

Alice In Chains
The Pixies- Doolittle
Joy Division (most depressingly catchy music ever)
Interpol- Turn On The Bright Lights

The Haunted- self-titled (basically ATG)
