Are you a Metal Head (love Metallica and slayer and stuff) or Gangsta (listen to gangsta rap)?
Or don't you know what the f*ck I'm talking about.
Or don't you care?
-
I more prefer classical music...
(Metal is OK, 'gansta' rap should be punishable by summary execution.)
-
spoken like a true brit ^^. metal head i suppose.
-
Metal, whatelse! If you vote this, you'll enjoy TremRadio ;)
-
What if I push them both off a cliff?
-
|m| !METAL! |m|
-
punk
but i like metal as well
-
I prefer music.
-
Had to go wtf as there wasn't a choice for real music :D
-
hahha, nobody likes gangsta! YAY! (for now! DUN DUN DUN!)
Personally, I like Korean, Japanese songs. I used to like Metal like Metallica and Megadeth, but then I changed to Korea and Japanese songs thanks to anime and me being korean.
-
I don't *get* rap. It just doesn't do anything for me.
Although it's not my favorite, I prefer metal over rap, although the vocals tend to bug me.
-
For intellectual and peaceful times i preffer classical music.
For social stuff (like parties w00t) hiphpop and reggaeton (regueton) is the best. (cuz you get to know the person really well :P)
Metal is when neither of the above situation happened and you ended up in some warehouse with a lot of ppl dressing in black and thinking they are cool (thus hitting eachother in a circle) *sigh* lol
-
I used to appreciate classical until i took a class on it... really very few composers catch my interest anymore.. beethoven/copeland i'll always listen to though.. really for that kind of stuff though i listen to jazz.... and by jazz i mean real jazz.

why there is no "Skinhead" option?

why there is no "Skinhead" option?
Because not everybody likes nationalists who walk around carrying the flag of their homeland, probably.

Might I point you to PanKot's FoT picture (http://trem.maci.ws/portraits/pankot.jpg)?

that he may be some stupid nationalist is one thing, but it's not like every skinhead was - thats my point Oo

on topic:
Metal FTW!!! I used to have long hair myself but I was more into trash metal then any other

-
I like classic rock, like Queen, as well as classical music, like Beethoven.

Yay, MC artman spells his favourite band all wrong.

I happen to like metal (including power) and I also happen to have long (over 12") hair. Neither of these things are caused by the other.
I also think I like, but haven't really heard enough of include electronica and reggae.
P.S. Some rap and some hip-hop is okay, but definitely not the highly commersialised stuff.

(haven'y watched it, [dial-up is teh evilz] assuming it's a video of Dragonforce)
If you're using that as an example of power metal... don't. It isn't a good one. In fact, it is a rather bad one.
Manowar might be a bit better, Nevermore is sort-of power (they're kinda a mix, I think)...
-
Blind Guardian is pretty cool power metal
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Znp-bF_Hc1g
but still one of the bast metalbands for me are (is?) Children Of Bodom
teh guitar 5k177 of Alexi Laiho is stunning
one of my favourites:

EDIT: added link

I got to see bodom live actually during the Unholy alliance tour with slayer.. turned out to be the hilight of the show :D
If you want to see some insane riffage check out shadows fall.. they have a dvd version of "war within" and it has the guitarists playing some riffs... very fast, very complex.. they pretty much never break down into something that isn't either.
-
checking out "shadows fall", I'll comment on that after I hear some decent amount of their music, I'm not going to judge band after few mp.3's :)
so far I must say I'm impressed
btw... CoB don't usually play Vivaldi, they are much much heavier, but still the vocalist doesn't sound like he is vomiting to the microphone (oh sweet death metal), and solo's like the one from "Mask Of Sanity" are far beyond my reach though I know how to handle guitar...
-
Rammstein FTW!
-
I like both heavy metal and "gangsta" as you call it and a little bit of "WTF?" :P .
But the "gangsta" I like is real "gangsta" rap not some retarded G-unit or eminem or Kanye West. The heavy metal I listen to is very heavy (Sevendust, Slipknot, Metallica, Rob Zombie, Megadeth).
-I mainly like "gangsta" rap though.
-
Rammstein FTW!
Live aus berlin was fkin awesome.. and then I saw the parts they took out of the US release.. I'm not homophobic.. I can stand extremism in art.. but that was vulgar and I don't think i'm going to ever be able to really think of them the same again.. especially since I have read the lyrics to all of their songs... but Dalai Llama is still one of my favorite songs (maybe because i'm familiar with and really like "der erkonig" by... schumann?.. can't remember right now -_-).

reading all this makes me long for the days when a person could find variety in music by merely stepping away from the sameness of the Corporate music seen. Radio stations actually had 10 song playlists!
It was after the birth of punk and within the sprawling alternative scene that it had bred. Back then, alternative refered to music you couldn't find anywhere except by word of mouth. Radio stations wouldn't touch it. Music companies hadn't quite merged into the mega-conglomerates you see today, but they yearned to control this counter-culture which grew like a flash fire.
Menudo, Motley Crew, Rat, Madonna, Bon Jovi, Wham!, New Kids on the Block, Tiffany, the list goes on and on of music that saturated the airwaves with a sameness that was astounding.
There were some standouts in the 80s for sure. Pink Floyd and AC/DC to name a couple. But it was primarily the boy, hair, and corporate bands that ruled the day.
However, if you knew someone who knew someone who had a third generation copy of that Violent Femmes tape, they just might be willing to make a copy of it for you. And that same friend just mentioned that Black Flag is coming to town, and it's $5 to get in! Not the next town over, YOUR TOWN! You've got five bucks, so you go and meet people who have even more copies of tapes to share, if anyone can find a blank tape!
The Cure, Souixse and the Banshees, Ministry, Revolting Cocks, Depeche Mode, Echo & The Bunnymen, XTC, The Smiths, Joy Division/New Order, Bong Water, argh, I couldn't begin to remember them all. There were so many.
Some you may have heard of. That's because of me and the countless kids who listened wouldn't adhere to the corporate muisc strategy of maximizing profits by playing to the lowest common denominator. Back then, you would NEVER hear this stuff on the radio in the US.
The corporate music borg attempted to break into this scene, but it's key was that it was flourishing in a way that was contradictory to the business model of the corporations. It was local to regional. We had 2 record small record companies in my hometown of 200 thousand. They sprang up like mushrooms throughout the land. Corporate music finally broke into the scene by offering obscene sums of money to gobble up these myriad little companies. To get an idea of just how much money they spent, look at the list of companies in the riaa (http://www.riaa.com/about/members/default.asp). Most of these companies live under one of a few corporate entities. So they gobbled up the local companies and either brought these local alternative bands under their control, of fired them. There was nowhere else to get a label, the corporations were busy absorbing them all.
What the corporate music culture labels as alternative today spang from that local scene though, and there are still standouts. Tool, Disturbed
and NIN to name a couple. The sheer variety however, is sadly gone as is the type of artistic integrity and free experimentation that coincides with not being controlled.
-
and thats why we praise the internets
and btw, hip hop culture should be punishable by death... ;)
no offense
-
and btw, hip hop culture should be punishable by death... ;)
agreed
-
Just cos they don't have a corporate licence doesn't make them good or 'rebellious'. It just means that the average person won't listen to them.

Disturbed is a copy of so many copies.. BLEH.. tool has become too self important to branch out in honestly new territory, and NIN has become way too formulaic and has become a very close copy of itself...
If its on MTV (..it probably isn't music) ever then chances are its not cutting edges anywhere. Corporate bands have taken the main stream, but really after you get used to it it doesn't matter.
Instead of tapes its MP3s, the tickets are still cheap, and the fans are still there, its just that they have to seek the content instead of the content finding them via the usual routs. It comes from friends, and from inquiry instead of from the radio (XM is decent) or from some T.V. channel (Fuse is decent)... really that is just a healthier way to get anything anyway.
