Who's your favorite band?
What's your favorite song, style, whatever?

Personally, I like all of Creed's stuff right now (I just bought Human Clay) and just flat out enjoy My Own Prison (yeah, that's another Creed CD).

i like Blues, Muddy Waters, Melvin Taylor, Howlin'Wolf. Gtateful Dead as well, especially early Dead, when they played more Blues. throw in a little Led Zepplin, and some old school rap like Run DMC, and the Beastie Boys. as long as it is live music i am good to go. as for my favorite song thats a tough one, there are too many good tunes out there to choose from.

Maybe not that widely known, but if you like metal & fantasy (yea, that can actually be mixed), Blind Guardian is the best.
Tons of songs about Lord of the Rings, Gandalf, epic battles from LOTR etc. Ever since I've heard it first, I've was addicted. Heck, I'm listening to it as I'm writing this. :cool:

My favorites are: Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Cream, Beastie Boys, Grateful Dead, Eve6, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Moody Blues, Metallica, Barenaked Ladies, and Eminem. btw Taluntain, I've heard Blind Guardian, its good but not great. My favorite songs are: Californication (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Comfortably Numb (Pink Floyd), One Week (Barenaked Ladies), and Slim Shady (Eminem).

Egg, you have some good taste in music.

i have heard Blind Guardian once, not too bad. Tolkien is everywhere. there is a Led Zepplin tune with a line in it that goes something like this:

"In the deepest depths of Mordor i met a woman so fair.." i cant remember the name of the tune off hand. anybody know this song?

I like a lot of the 70s/80s metal bands.
AC/DC, Kiss, Ozzy, Black Sabbath, etc.

I have been listening to some "mellow" music for the past few years. Stuff that is slow but heavy: Pink Floyd, Alice in Chains, Tool.
Anyone know of anything else along the same lines that I can check out? I don't follow the music scene at all so I don't know what's out there.

My absolute favorite CD is "Jar of Flies" by Alice in Chains. I love every song on it. Although when I first got it I hated most of it, then it grew on me, and it became my favorite.

My favorite "fantasy" songs:
Neon Knights, Children of the Sea - Black Sabbath
Temple of the King, Stargazer, Man on the Silver Mountain - Rainbow (I'm not sure if MOSM really qualifies but its a kick ass tune!)
The Oath, Under the Rose - Kiss (these are from Music From the Elder, and album that is so Un-Kiss like that I had trouble believing it was them.)
Hall of the Mountain King - Savatage
A lot of early Overkill stuff
There are lots more, I just can't think of any right now.

Sorry, make that Wingfoot, the LZ song you were talking about is Ramble on. Zepplin has a whole lot of JRR references in their music. Check out this website. http://www.auburn.edu/~speedhe/ It has a lot of info on the connection between the man are their music.

[This message has been edited by Voltric (edited September 08, 2000).]

thanks Voltric. BTW that was me wondering about that Zep tune, i'll have to check out that sight.

My other favorites I neglected to mention are: I Dissappear (Metallica), and White Room (Cream). The worst is certainly all the boy bands, and so called divas. They're all just fresh-faced punks.

Voltric, thats a cool sight. i knew a few tunes were related to Tolkien's works, but not as many as i saw there. and i was just looking around for some Zepplin guitar tab, and low and behold, that site has a few. there are some rather accurate Tabs too.
thanks again.

damn Egg and i pegged you for a Backstreet Boys fan. ;)

i agree with that Egg man, there kinda like Hirerlings, in it for the money.

I am going to agree with the Eggman here.

I dislike almost anything that is known only for the singer. The reason?
"Back up" bands are only there to provide a beat, not to do anything original or innovative. You never hear anyone say "Man that Mariah Carreys guitarist is pretty wicked". It's crap. The singers themselves are usually quite good, but the band could be replaced with any other band in the world and you wouldn't notice the difference.

nothing but good bands mentioned so far but i noticed nobody's taken the time to point out some of the newer bands that are really breaking new ground. my current favorite right now is slipknot. i mean how can you go with 9 guys!!! great guitar hooks and riffs, sampling is excellent, scrathing is intense, and the drumming.....well there's 3 percussionists so it can be pretty intense. just my 2 cents though........

Since we are on the subject of music, I thought I would ask a question.

I was banned from Napster for having 2 Metallica songs (that I ripped from my own cd). Personally, I think Metallica should have been forced to work with Napster to develop (at thier own expense) a filter that will prevent people from accessing Metallica songs while still allowing them access top Napster. But that
's another issue, and not what I wanted to talk about.

My problem is that, although I removed the Metallica songs from my PC, completely uninstalled, re-downloaded and reinstalled Napster with a new user id and a new e-mail, I still can't get in!
I went to the site listed on the "banned by Metallica" page and it had some BS about how I had to fill out a form and send my name and address to Metallicas lawyer. I am NOT even considering doing this.

So does anyone know how to get around this other than giving my personal info to some shyster? Does Napster store something on my hard drive telling them to ban me? Any help would be appreciated.

I would like to sample songs (and some bands mentioned on this site) without paying money for a cd and then finding out I don't like it. Please help!

P.S. Does anyone know where I can get a "Metallica sucks" T-shirt?

Just forget about napster, there are other sites that have mp3 downloads, just search around.

Fat Egg, please name some of these sites!
I found one called mp3.com, but all they do is copy music you ALREADY HAVE from a CD onto thier site so you can listen to it.
You can't listen to anyone else's music.

If you do, send them over to him in e-mail please. Wouldn't want to start a mp3-peddling sites topic here. Not that I have anything against that, but it'd spread to warez and the kind sooner or later.

[This message has been edited by Taluntain (edited September 10, 2000).]

So, what do you guys think is the best warez site on the net, then? Hmm?

hooligan_inc, if I didn't know you better I'd think you're pushing it. Don't. Horrible things can happen to little boys who are bad.

[cowering into corner]: kidding!Kidding!KIDDING!!!

Queen, Eric Clapton, Enigma and Supertramp. That's the best overall artists/groups.

Some of the newer groups like Vertical Horizon, Creed, and 3eb are fairly good.

Hey, guys, sorry I've taken so long with replying (College and all, wot?)

My favorite Fantasy song is "Witch of the Westmorland" by Stan Rogers. I must say, it's almost my favorite song. Stan Rogers performed in the 1970's, for those of you who either haven't heard of him, or will go looking for him.

*NEWSFLASH* Did you know that there is a real band called Trout Fishing In America?

Favourite bands and stuff? Oooh, lots. I suppose my favourites that don't really change are Iron Maiden (spot the British mosher!), Therapy?, the Kinks, The Pogues and the Wu Tang Clan.
I've got a really wide range of music I like from metal, rap, pop and all the stuff in between.
It's not the stuff everyone likes, but I suppose it's the legacy of a misspent youth.

Cypress Hill, Run DMC, Wu Tang, 2Pac (when alive), Dr Dre... Ocean Colour Scene The 'Phonics, The Manics, York...

James Cotton, oh yeah, especially that tune Lovelight..... Turn on yo Light, let it Shine on me, just a little bit higher........

I just saw Tristeza live. These guys are awesome!
How to describe it? ....they're more mellow, not very heavy. Kind of like Pink Floyd (although their sound doesn't really resemble Floyds, I'm just refering to the heaviness level). Just brilliant rythmic instrumental stuff (there's no singer). Kind of psychadelic sounding.

I haven't been listening to them long, but I really really like this band.

oh, and how I could I forget?...Weird Al!

[This message has been edited by Reya (edited November 08, 2000).]

Weird Al rocks!

You know, I just went to one of his Touring with Scissors concerts!

Some stuff he made for the concerts: My Heart Will Go On - Your Heartburn Will Go On And On (where he was a pizza delivery guy). Addicted To Love - Addicted To Spuds (the potato song). Keep 'em Separated - Keep 'em Separated (singing about washing clothes i.e. whites and colors).

Great Stuff.

wow, so jealous.
I like Smells like Nirvana and the Star Wars saga song to the tune of American Pie

How about Amish Paradise (parody on Gangster's Paradise)... I nearly fell off my chair the first time I heard that one. :D

Have you seen the music video to Amish Paradise? Excellent video. At one point, an entire scene is played in reverse. For this part, Al had to memorize his lines...backwards.

THIS SITE RULES!

It's only natural, actual facts are thrown at you
The impact'll blow trees back and crack statues
Million dollar rap crews fold, check the sick ****
explicit, I crystalize the rhyme so you can sniff it
We live this, fitted hats low conceal the Crooked I
No surprise, verbal stick up -- put em high
Rebel I, outlaw, split second on the draw
Blow the door off this ****, like bricks you see fall...
oh yes Wu-Tang Clan are my favourite band. With 10 MCs with different fly styles, for me, they're the best.
As you may have noticed I like Hip-Hop (NOT RAP) music, and a pinch of everything else accept for jingles..I mean pop and Heavy Metal.
