METAL RULES

I like a bit of everything. Don't care for country or rap/hip-hop, although I have found songs in those categories that I've liked in the past.
My favorite stuff is Guitar rock and stuff with outstanding basslines(bass guitar, not synth junk)

A few of my favorite guitarists being :
Joe Satriani
Steve Vai
Jimi Hendrix
Jeff Beck
Eddie Van Halen(old stuff)
Marty Freidman
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Zakk Wylde
Randy Rhodes
you get the idea...

Bassists:
Cliff Burton
Billy Shehan
Les Claypool
Dave Ellefson
Michael Balzary(Flea)
Stewart Hamm
Tim Commerford(or whatever his name ended up being)
This list also trails on for a while...

No real heavy stuff for me. Typical old guy stuff.

Eric Clapton
Eros Ramazzati
Soraya
Dire Straits
Toni Childs
Phil Collins
Bruce Cockburn
Dave Matthews
Cusco
Pink Floyd
Fore Play
Jonny Lang

Limp Bizkit
Korn
Dream Theatre

GNR
Ozzy
Tupac

And many more I love MP3"s & online radio so much music to listen to & so little time I Hate listening to music on the radio they play the same stuff over & over
:zzz:

modern rock, classic rock, rock. basically anything rock. except some punk.

I like all these bands:

Linkin Park
Evanescence
Good Charlotte
Sum 41
Blink 182

I also like some assorted other songs of the same kind of genres...I actually like most bands, but those are the ones I listen to the most.

Hmmm, I listen to a variety of songs, but my favourites:

She Bangs! - William Hung
I Don't Wanna know - Mario Winans
Tipsy - J Kwon
Through the Wire - Kanye West
Slow Jams - Twista
Gigolo - R Kelly & Nick Cannon
Hotel - Cassidy & R Kelly
P.I.M.P. - 50 cent
Stacy's Mom - Fountains of Wayne
Numb - Linkin Park
F**k It - Eamon
F**k You Right Back - Frankee
For the Love of Money - The O'Jays
Dirt Off Your Shoulder - Ja Rule
Hey Ya! - OutKast
Yeah! - Usher, Ludacris, Lil John

Thats about it, as you can see I mostly listen to Hip-Hop, but William Hung is William Hung

Let's see....over the years so many good ones to remember:

Rush
AC/DC
Deep Purple (in a major way)
Iron Maiden
Jethro Tull
Ozzy starting with "old" Black Sabbath
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
Joe Walsh
Billy Squier

Just too many to mention....and, oh yeah, always a major Beatles fan.

Stormbringer just earned another couple of cool points in my book by listing Cliff Burton as one of his favorite bassists...he's one of my biggest influences...along with Steve Harris...Cliff was a complete musician, and one of a kind...Dave Ellefson on bass and Marty Friedman on guitar were both nice mentions as well (both Megadeth veterans)...listen to Valley of Eternity on Marty Friedman's "Scenes"...the solo at the end in INSANE...

Always nice to hear from people who share in some of the more obscure appreciations of music...

I listen mostly to rock and some dance/trance including:-

Guns 'n' Roses
Metallica
Nirvana
Pearl Jam
Smashing Pumpkins
Limp Bizkit

Sarah Mclachlan
BT
Voodoo and Serano

Mainly rock(ish) music nowadays :-

Lacuna Coil (own!)
Evanescence
Linkin Park
Within Temptation

but, I used to be a massive DMX fan, and I really like some R'n'B...
112, Boyz II Men, Joe, Case etc..

I want to see if someone is going to be gutsy enough to admit they listen to Air Supply and Liberace...

METAL!!!! that's my genre. Though specific subgenre? None really, I like heavy, death, thrash, speed, hard rock, classic rock... anything of and related to metal.

Not to say I don't like anything else... I have a decent collection of punk (both sides, Offspring/Green Day and Antiflag/UKsubs), quite a few classical albums, some spoken word/comedy, and a good amount of world (celtic, norse folk, etc), Christian alternative. The one band that truly stands out for me is Dream Theater, I've seen em live the last two times they came through, I own all their full length albums and a DVD, and some music books. If only I had a 7-string to play that stuff.

Though my favorite groups and CDs change almost weekly, here's what's been on my playlist lately:

Carcass - Heartwork
Petra - Petraphonics
Pirates of the Carribean Soundtrack
Debussy - compilation
Dream Theater - every single album!
Opeth - My Arms, Your Hearse

.... and William Hung pwn3$

Everyone. Listen to "I Don't Wanna Know" by Mario Winans, its the best song you will ever hear, I mean it.

not bad for an R n B track

)

This guy has taste!! (seeing in flames in under a month )

I listen to a lot of metal, mostly melodic/heavy metal. although i do go for a bit of rock and more mainstream metal.

children of bodom
dark tranquility
devil driver
iron maiden

i also like a lot of unkown bands from around where i live, something about the 'undeerground' metal scene i just cant get away from :grinthumb

In Flames

They kick major @$$...I saw them with Slayer and Soulfly last time around, AWESOME show...I have to say, that the best "Metal" musicians and bands right now are coming our of places like Sweden, Denmark and that general area...the musicianship is just unbelievable...just check out Opeth if you don't agree...those guys are just machines when it comes to playing and putting on a live show...and the funny things is, most of them are kind of on the underground side of things, as opposed to the mainstream, which is good in a way...

...and as much as my musical taste has grown over the years, agressive, melodic and technical "metal" will always be the bottom line for me (I put "metal" in quotes, because that term has been so abused over the last 20 years - I mean, people call Motley Crue and Poison "metal")...anyway...UP THE IRONS and BANG THAT HEAD THAT DOESN'T BANG!!!!!

that's my 2 cents...


METAL RULES:grinthumb
