whats your music???

what music do yall listen to when your in the snake room,, on the road, or just mowing the yard? crosby, stills and nash said it best in "wooden ships"..
"if you smile at me, i will understand caus that is something everybody everywhere does in the same language"...
music, what ever form, is something we all share.
im a die hard pumpkins fan, but theres nothing like when you put brass with guitar, drums, and a killer voice.. not many can do it like this anymore.
enjoy!!

spooky

Megadeth, Foo Fighters, Stone Sour, Andres Segovia, Indigo Girls, Mumford and Sons, Buckethead, Joe Satriani, Metric with some KISS thrown in for good measure. Also just about any 80's music.

lamb of god
arch enemy
shadows fall
silent civilian
pantera
jason becker
ozzy (with randy rhoads)

hell yes!!! hate to say it,, but i think that dave is the best thing that ever came from nervana:O
spooky

I listen to girl music.
Everything previously listed kinda makes me feel angry when I list to it. I listen to sounds like Adele, Kate Nash, Sia. I also like techno and house and older country. I love The Presets, Thom Yorke, Coldplay

Pretty much anything but country. I can't stand country.
I listen to mostly pop, hip hop, r & b, but I also love rock, alternative, heavy metal.
Black eyed peas, five finger death punch, britney, paramore, rihanna, hinder, j-Lo, metallica.....the list goes on and on.

metal, punk, ska, hiphop/rap, some electronic/techno stuff

I listen to mainly metal and classic rock but Ill pretty much listen to anything.

Mudvayne, Korn, MM, Dog Fashion Disco, MSI, Nonpoint, Sevendust, FFDP, Alterbridge, Dust to Dust, Powerman 5000, Dope, Tool, Seether, 10 Years, Cypress Hill, list goes on...

mainly post hardcore like devil wears prada bring me the horizon texas in july anything along them lines

I'm very picky when it comes to music, but I am definitely a progressive metal fan (especially that of Finnish and Swedish pedigree) and I have a lot of respect for most classical composers. Actual talent and the ability to actually play their instruments is a must. I won't go into my feelings for rap, techno and all this popular modern music made on a computer other than to say I HATE IT!

A few bands I like:

Opeth, Turbid North, Soulfallen, Kalmah, Necrophagist, Tool, Obscura, Daylight Dies, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, All That Remains, Shadows Fall, Lamb Of God, Dream Theater, Iced Earth, Agolloch, Edge Of Sanity and tons of bands that will never get any radio play.

I listen to a wide variety of music, and actually perform classical music (viola) with a local symphony... but to be honest, I only listen to classical when I'm studying a current piece. Usually I listen to '90s grunge/alternative, classic (primarily '70s) rock, and select "top 40" songs. Sadly my favorite band of all time, R.E.M., just announced their breakup - so I'm still in a bit of mourning over that. :( Some of my other favorites:

Nirvana
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Pink Floyd
The Pixies
Grateful Dead
John Lennon
Elton John
Billy Joel
Santana
Bob Marley
Stevie Ray Vaughan
The Rolling Stones
Sublime

How is creating music with pre-engineered, and custom audio samples NOT talent? It does what its supposed to do IMO. It gets people in the mood to jump around and let loose. I looove doing certain things while bobbing my head listening to some awesome hardstyle techno like headhunterz

I looove dream theater, tool, all that remains, and all that kind of sound a lot, but i enjoy cruising while listening to immortal technique or some dre ;p. i love and appreciate it all!

X2 :gj:

i cant stand country and i live in georgia :thumbsdow

I mostly listen to jam bands, some electronic music, and indie/alternative rock
Just to name a few: Umphrey's McGee, Disco Biscuits, Deadmau5, Rusko, Mumford and Sons, Fleet Foxes, Grizzly Bear, Moe., String Cheese Incident, STS9.. I'll be very impressed if anyone is familiar with any of the jam bands. :rolleyes:

Metal and Classical music.

Inside the Metal Genre, I'm a sucker for Old School Thrash (OLD Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer, Destruction, Nuclear Assault, blah blah blah), but the NEW Wave of thrash that is rising (very similar to old school) is pretty darn awesome, the main 2 bands that come to mind are Warbringer and Exmortus. Also, I like Groove Metal (Mainly Lamb of God and Pantera). However I quite like Melodic Death Metal (Mainly Dethklok, and Children of Bodom (when I'm in mood for raspy voices and guitars), Can't say no to some Old School Death Metal and Black Metal. :P

YET, you WON'T EVER find me listening to: Metalcore, Nu-metal, Djent (except for Meshuggah), and all the new crappy -core subgenres... nor Slipknot.
No offense but I hate all those bands to death'


Inside of the Classical Music, I love pretty much all periods, but Mainly Romanticism, Classicism and Renascence.





oh, and I also HATE TO DEATH: Reggaeton, and Electronic Music, IDK, after taking some music classes (history, appreciation, theory, blah blah) in college, my criteria for music has become even stricter

Music is a way of life. Pure and simple. I love heavier metal, and old 80's even hair metal! My favorite bands though are, 1. Metallica (cliff to Early Jason era) 2. Naglafar 3. Megadeth 4. Dream theater 5. Children Of Bosom. I'm also going to admit I LOVE classical... I'll jut keep that list to myself. :)

Besides reptiles, music is a way of life, I've been playing bass guitar for almost 9 years now and Cliff Burton is my idol.. and through high school I learned to play the double bass, Cello and cymbals. I loved marching in band... Lmao. Little longer. But I love details.

I love metal...
megadeth, pantera, iron maiden, old metallica. "nu metal" I like killswtich engage, lamb of god, etc. anything in the metal genre pretty much suits me.

Im recently ADDICTED to volbeat. Love me a little danish rockabilly.

Then I also LOVE classical and opera music, anything mozart just rocks my world!

If its got a great beat and is catchy I will pretty much like the song...except for rap, and country.

Not saying you can't create music with it. It has its purpose, but anyone can program a computer to play music. Mastering the skill and techniques required to play an instrument (any instrument, guitar, drums, violin, piano, clarinet, you name it) AND making music takes far more skill and thought than piecing together pre-made sound clips in a computer.

What really bothers me is when I hear the latest big "artist" come out with a "new song" that is just a remix of a classic song written by another band that they pieced together with some emotionless rapping or overdone R&B moaning recorded over it. Then they slap their thug name on it, have the media cram it down our throats and they are suddenly talented? I don't think so! :rolleyes:

But, I don't care what someone else listens to. I just don't see what is so special about programing a computer.

I do think too that MUSIC requires the use of MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, not equipment alone

I used to also be against electronic music for this reason. However, anybody can also pick up a guitar and play, that doesn't make it GOOD music. There are producers out there making amazing songs with computers and they are NOT using "pre-made" sound clips. I don't think there are any real producers out there making electronic music that is composed of nothing but "pre-made" sound clips. I agree that there is something to be said for playing a real instrument, but please do not just write these artists off because you can't see what they are doing. Many of them have been in bands and come from musical backgrounds and I promise you using some of these programs to create the stuff they do is not as easy as it sounds.

And what is the difference between a remix and a band covering another bands song?

The reason electronic gets such a bad rep is because its so easy for anybody to attempt to do it, They don't have to go buy an instrument to try it out. There are soooo many bad remixes like the ones you mentioned ("...emotionless rapping or overdone R&B moaning recorded over it.") on youtube and i hate it. However there are true artists out there making electronic music that I couldn't dream of making. (This is also coming from somebody that plays bass/guitar, and has for some time, if that means anything)

I wouldn't say anyone can pick up a guitar and play. Trust me, I've tried to teach my wife. :D I've been playing guitar and bass for 15 years and drums for 8 years. I wouldn't consider myself any good. From a purely technical stand point I am a fairly clean player in most respects, but I could never write beautiful music like Opeth or Beethoven. I'm simply not creative or talented enough. That is why I never said that simply playing guitar makes it good music. I've seen and even been a member of plenty of bad bands. Now if you accomplish the skill it takes to play an instrument and make music people want to hear, THAT, my friend, is a challenge. Throw all that in a live situation and you're in for some fun.

The difference between a remix and a cover is that most cover bands don't claim the music to be their own and make money off the deal. They do it to play the music and get people in the doors to hear their crappy originals. I've been there.

Everything you said in that first paragraph only reinforces my point, that's exactly what i'm saying. "I wouldn't say anyone can pick up a guitar and play." Well I wouldn't say anybody can run a computer program and make music. There are only a very few truly talented electronic producers out there and they are NOT making money off of other people's music. And most artists only make remixes for fun, and some of them happen to get popular. Very few of them are making any money off of them.

Replace the word "real instrument" with "computer program" and what you said is no less true. The REAL electronic artists, don't just get up on stage and press play, they mix the song live using sounds they have created.

yea, but still, you could know NOTHING about musical theory (scales, notes, modes, progressions, etc..) and still be able to make electronic music, and mix music...
I don't know if you see where I'm going here :P

But without music theory it would sound like trash. Most of the good electronic artists know theory. Just because it is on a computer doesn't mean it doesn't follow the same rules and patterns of music everything else does..? Even if they couldn't actually explain theory to somebody they obviously have a grasp on it if they are making good music? I'm can almost positively say that every classic rock artist has not been an expert on music theory, but they are legends are they not? :D

Edit: I know when i toyed around with creating electronic music, i reached into the little music theory i know to create decent sounding stuff. I don't know why it would be different for anybody else. And i know some music theory and i could NOT create good electronic music, i mean it was decent but i'm not making any money off of it. Haha, if it is as easy as you all say it is then why are you not bringing in the BANK making those good electronic tunes?? ;)

I am a HHHUUUGGGEEE Project 86 fans. I my love for them runs deeper then them just as a band, but the guys on a personal level.

I can appreciate your taste in music. I listen to a lot of Pillar and Skillet.

I listen mostly to Indie Rock.

post a few links!!! i like to copy paste to youtube:D
spooky

Anything but Country, that crap isn't even truly "music". Recycled garbage that all sounds EXACTLY the same. God, I HATE the twang, make it stop!

I listen to just about anything, but I'm only going to name one band that few people have heard of... YET... But please, give them a listen, like them on FB, give them a shout out, tell your friends... They're still up and coming, but they're signed with a label and getting good reviews so far...

Red Line Chemistry

A couple videos for the youtubers...

You Don't Get It

Dumb Luck

And something a little different from them, but one of my favorites...

So Many Days

But these guys just rock....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfB7v...feature=relmfu

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzUPG8olnO0&ob=av3e

My favorite is Bob Marley. However, since I play lead guitar, I also love Yngwie Malmsteen, Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest, Steve Vai, Joe Satrianni, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Old Metallica, Deep Purple, Ozzy ( with Randy Rhoads ), Black Sabbath, Prince ( plays 26 instruments ).

I also enjoy Hebrew music, Blues, Techno.

Alrighty then......For those of you who say anyone can program a computer to play music for them. I'm going to challenge you with a few things that are commmonly used in electronic music.

WITH OUT USING GOOGLE.

Tell me how to setup NY Compression. Also what is the other term used for this technique?

How do you create a Reese and what Synth is the best for it?

What is a Hoover?

What program is the best for slicing breaks?

The best one of all....What is the mixdown button?

EXTRA CREDIT: What is the number one break in the world? This is an EASY one!

Now, if 10 of you can answer these in a timely manner, I will agree on the fact that anyone can program a computer to play music for them.

Oh yeah, BTW, I'm into electronical music. I attended school for music production and have had a successful carrer in it also. Have worked on shows for the following:

Train
Elton John
Kenny Loggins
Marilyn mccoo and Billy Davis Jr.
Neil Mccoy
Tierra
WAR
and many others.

Favorite Electronical artists:
Skynet
Tiesto...Obviously
Karl K, Kaos, J Kennedy
Gridlok
Gabriel and Dresden
Ed Rush and Optical
C4C
Bad Company
Maldini & Vegas
The list goes on...
