[Closed] It's Friday and so far

quick delete everything after and including the & in your link

Is niice

Cheers, that's sorted what album to lsiten to first today.

this video makes me shiver every time... as a metal vocalist i've never performed with anyone that can surpass his level of control. and i think its beautiful.

Go on then Phil, metal is a bit of an unexplored genre for me.... dole out some fatherly advice... What album should I get that might convince me to take a journey into 'the metal'?

Best keep it that way, unless you're a fan of cliches 😉

(Nearest I'd get is

You know how it is DezB... just like hearing new music... got any suggestions that aren't metal then?

[i]unless you're a fan of cliches[/i]

I typed that before listening to Dad's track too 😆

Suggestions, from me? Blimey - dip into the Friday, I'm bored, music linky thread: there's shiteloads of good stuff on there (and not [i]all[/i] from me 🙂 )

hmmm i'd say stay away from anything too generic (and therefor, in my humble opinion, predictable = boring) and go for something that has a constant groove the whole way through...

in the end there's so many different sub-genres and styles that i could suggest something and it'd be a complete miss.. but if i had suggested something extreme it might have just excited you enough.

[b]textures - silhouettes[/b] groove tastic, amazing vocal control and some powerful but natural singing.

[b]sikth - the trees are dead and dried out wait for something wild[/b] (just mental with loss of silly voices, music for the schizophrenics i'd say)... spawned a whole new breed of technical metal in the UK.

[b]underoath - lost in the sound of seperation[/b] - wasn't sure about it, but on the second listen (loud in the car) you should find yourself going a bit nutty.

[b]tesseract - concealing fate[/b] - if you listen past the scream at the start, it evolves into a stunning, emotive EP.

[b]karnivool - sound awake[/b] - recent discovery, being noticed over here in the uk a bit more recently.

all these have an element of singing in them, but there are of course the normal metal giants like lamb of god and stuff (im sure others could list lots... but i'm struggling to think and list them as its not the scene i was invovled in)

Just bumped the Tune Assoc. thread for ya

Aks me why my morning is good. Never mind, I'll tell you. Got a distinction in my Design (fabric) module. Found a pair of shoes I thought I lost. And my other half came back a day early yesterday. And I got breakfast in bed this morning

Loved up

unless you're a fan of cliches

agreed! i love metal and to be honest most of it is jsut plain aweful rubbish that could be written by 11 year olds after their 3rd guitar lesson.

but like any genre there are gems 🙂

considering i managed/was frontman for a metal band for 5 years i should probably love metal more than i do... but in all honesty i dont like a lot of it. at home i listen to accoustic singer/songwriter stuff, hip hop, classical, boogie woogie (piano driven as much as possible), progressive drum and bass stuff, prety much anything by ninja tunes... the lsit could go on and on...

but theres some metal that just makes my brain fizzle with excitement when its so well written and performed, as exciting as the best classical music.
