EyeOfTheHawks · Post edited by EyeOfTheHawks at 2010-09-24 14:03:50

I had this thread before the site was reset, so i figured id start it again. Its a nice way of finding new music, and listening to other people's taste in music. Now that we have more members here at DoG it should be more interesting.

Feel free to discuss posted music aswell, you can post your disagreements or problems, or your likes and positivities (i made up a word :D ). But please dont start a flamewar. Please!

Posts would preferably be formatted like so :

'Song'
Album
-Artist-

[ You can include a youtube embed aswell if you wish ]

Ill start things off

'The Hollow'
Mer De Noms
-A Perfect Circle-

I've been listening to Disturbed's new album, Marilyn Manson's Eat Me, Drink Me and the new koRn album. I also listened to part of Stone Sour's new album.

the1npc

forREVer I've been listening to ax7 too I enjoy thier new album and like the portnoy touch, also is you username in reference to the rev?

I wandered over to my local 'Source' to see if any of these game deals I've been hearing about were still around... they weren't.

Enroute I listened to many songs by many artists, but the one I enjoyed the most was this one:

Quick EDIT:

I work with a dude who is in a band in Hamilton.. What'er they called again? Something about the 'Sunset' or 'Til the Sunrise' or something like that...

Err.. 'City At Sunset!' that's the one...

Any of ya'll Hamilton boys ever heard of 'em? Apparently if he can get the day off his band is going to play in New York on Saturday with a bunch of Victory Records bands... and Dillinger Escape Plan.

Or something...

Smoreninja

@doos funny note; you can buy a 'third arm' at the source.

Ozzi

Diamond Eyes
Not 100% sure what soundtrack im just gonna say its from the expendables
Shinedown

All i can say is chances are when i put what im listening to on this it will be totally different music what i was listening to last time.... :P

Juxtapose

Classic Rock, Q107.

Yea it is. Ive been trying to figure out a suitable avenged gamertag but havent come up with one yet. ive got one dream theater album, but after hearing portnoy so much now i think ill have to get a few more.

Wick

@Ozzi

When you mentioned Diamond Eyes, I thought you were talking about the Deftones' single and album title. That's a phenomenal album.

Ozzi

@Wick98 Well, I'm Listening to
Deftones
Diamond Eyes right now :P.... Good song though

@Doos Sadly I have never heard of that band, I'm not from Hamilton I just live really close to it. Hopefully your friends get to play with The dillenger escape plan i hear they put on one hell of a show

@forREver I recommended listening to "images and words" by dream theater and then work your way up chronologically they are a great band sadly portnoy left :( recently

Wick

@Ozzi

I love the entire album, but Risk is probably my favourite song on it. Beauty School would be second. The two singles are good as well though (Diamond Eyes and Rocket Skates.)

Doos

Rocket Skates was the only song on that album that got me going 'Yeah... YEAH! YEAH FUCKING YEAH!' Fist pumping and punching the roof of the car.

Heh.

Deftones haven't really blow my hair back since Engine #9.

Last night enroute to work Death Blooms came up on my Ipod.

I lost my fucking mind.

The bass in that song is awesome. When I heard that album (LD 50) it changed my musical tastes.

Turned on my computer and this song came on, so i found a video of it. It was never released as studio, so live only.

Jerk-Off [Live]
Opiate [EP]
Tool

The video is terrifying... Maynard (singer) doesnt blink once. And Danny (Drummer) also looks like hes trippin out on something.

The vocals are stellar for LIVE though

This performance of Bottom is just amazing too. His dance moves towards the end are jaw dropping :P [At about 6 minutes]

Bottom
Undertow
Tool

I just love the way Maynard moves his torso to the drums

Doos · Post edited by Doos at 2010-09-27 16:23:44

Opiate is a fantastic EP. Blew my mind.

Also in regards to Maynard and his live vocals. He takes that shit very seriously. It's unfortunately why he won't do certain songs at concerts any more. He can't hit the screams as well as he'd like, or they just ruin his voice so he doesn't perform them unless his voice is in tip top shape.

Like 'Ticks and Leeches'.

It's a bummer, but also a good thing too. Tool is well known for always wanting to put on a fantastic show. They want it to be an experience.

Wick

Deftones and Mudvayne are two of my favourite bands, along with several others (NIN, Disturbed, Silverchair, Alice Cooper, koRn...)

Death Blooms is one of my favourite Mudvayne songs. It's the song that actually got me into them, via an Ozzfest CD.

As for the Deftones - I think their best song is Passenger, which is actually my favourite song of all-time.

Exactly. Maynard RARELY does Ticks and Leeches. I dont blame him.

He also wont perform either of the Wings for Marie, because it is about his mother.

He cant hit the highnotes in some songs anymore either (The Pot) and such. But he still sings Pushit like a champ.

Search "The most hilarious and informative moments of MJK" on youtube, its awesome.

Might try to get tickets for rob halford and ozzy at the acc
I've been listening to ozzy/sabath lately

Also some Rush of course

And @the1npc When did you start listening to Tool ?

AnThMaN

I've always been a fan of the harder stylez and "Qlimax" is one of the biggest annual raves in the world blasting the very best in kickin' hardstyle and dancecore! HARDSTYLE FTW! *fist pumps the air* But it's either in Holland or Germany so yea :(

All-time favourtite hardstyle artists:
Rocco vs. Bass-T
Technoboy
DJ Zany
The Beholder
Showtek
DonkeyRollerz
T4T4NK4

the1npc

Oh my! Thats one huge rave lol.
I've been addicted to "For Today" Lately and Frank Zappa!

Heres some videos:

Wick

My sister constantly listens to new country on KX-96. It's currently on right now with some ballad.

They should play this stuff for the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. It'd make a phenomenal torture device.

Doos

How old are you Npc? It's been a long time since I heard someone mention Zappa. You can't beat him for a bit of the weird.

The other day on my way to work, a good ol' video game song came up on my Ipod.

A fun little ditty.

EyeOfTheHawks

Woo, amaziing horse !

the1npc

Doos I'm 18, I started listening to Zappa after seeing "Zappa plays Zappa" open for Dream theater in 2009

EyeOfTheHawks

Damnit i love this song

the1npc

James LaBrie's new solo album is pretty awesome!

Maybe it will take my mind off a portnoy-less Dream Theater

Rollin down Rodeo with a shotgun!

Doos

These people ain't seen a brown skinned man since their grandparents bought one!

(wickawickawicka!)

Great tune...

No offense meant to anyone.. just quoting lyrics yo!

EyeOfTheHawks · Post edited by EyeOfTheHawks at 2010-10-21 17:32:03

Cause im Rollin Down Rodeo with a Shotgun

Sick song I agree. Nothing beats absolutely cranking Killing In The Name though

Although it is more of a prelude to another song, i find this oddly calming

Wick

Beauty School by the Deftones

Just finished listening to Risk.

They're my two favourite songs off of their latest album. Phenomenal stuff.

Rather than post a bunch of videos, I'll just link you to my YouTube playlist. Its still growing, only at 121 videos atm. Only a few months ago started compiling music as I've never owned an iPod or anything like that. Planning ahead for when I get my smartphone(which most likely will be the WP7 :) ) though. Don't want to get it and have no music ready! Always looking for new music to add to it. When I'm driving I mostly listen to Classic Rock 101.1, which most of the time is 'Nights with Alice Cooper' I keep paper and pen handy so when a song comes on that I like, I write it down to add to my list lol.

http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=775C6324C680AA50

In my playlist you'll find artists such as: Judas Priest, The Arrogant Worms, Weird Al, Metallica, NIRVANA, Nickleback, Iron Maiden, Motley Crue, Disturbed(Surprisingly good. My friend who generally doesn't like that style of music, can listen to Disturbed without a problem), Crooked X, Alice Cooper, Black Tide, Lynyrd Skynryd, Guns N Roses, Boston, Van Halen, Ozzy, Rammstein, The Beatles among some other random stuff. Gives a pretty solid idea as to the kind of music I like though.

The song I'm actually listening to right now is this, Here I go Again - Whitesnake

That shits good music.

Now I'm listening to Wonderwall - Oasis. I absolutely love this song. Its probably my most listened to song. I normally don't sing along to songs(as I am one of the worst singers in the world) and most of the music I listen to I listen to the instruments more so then the singer, but this is one song that I just have a hard time NOT singing along with.(silently, to myself, that is of course)

I never really listened to music at all until I started playing Rock Band. That game really opened me up to the world of music. XBOX was also actually what brought me to my first rock concert. Back when the CDN XBOX Forums had giveaways, I won 2 tickets to a 2 day concert from Jade. Good times.

Wick

I'm listening to the new All That Remains album. It's quite good.

EyeOfTheHawks

Alright, this is epic.

npc, although im not a fan, we have a band from our school, and i know a couple of the guys in it, that is kind of that style. Ill post up a video

Doos

The drummer always has the most fun in High School bands... I know this... because I was the drummer in all of my high school bands... and I had the most fun. :)

TTRDrPayne · Post edited by TTRDrPayne at 2010-10-25 18:56:51

@the1npc, I've never understood the appeal of that style of music. I've also never known anybody to like that music so never been able to ask anyone. So what is it about that music that makes it enjoyable to listen to? Its just a guy screaming into a mic that you can't understand a single syllable hes 'saying.' With other types of music that I don't like, I at least can understand how other people like it because I can see the appeal of it, but with music like that, I can't see anything in it that makes it appealing. In those bands the instruments aren't half bad, its just the so called 'singer'(don't know if they call themselves singers, more like screamers. lol) that bothers me. Mute them and its not half bad. I like Metal, so long as people aren't just screaming into the mics.

@Hawks, that Pokemon Metal video was awesome.

While typing this, I was listening to Disturbed - Indestructible

TimothyWedel

Not my type of music, but it has a really addicting tune. Heard it on the radio.

These guys are actually working on recording some of there stuff in Kitchener, i was quite impressed. I was talking to Lionel (the singer, yes his name is Lionel) and he was telling me about it.

the1npc

@TTRDrPayne
Screaming in metal makes it more aggressive, more powerful and more fun to listen to, imo. After a couple listens the words will sound more clear. I usually don't take most of the death metal or screaming music I listen to seriously I just really enjoy it and nothing gets the adrenaline pumping better than going to a show!

When I'm craving more serious stuff its all about Dream Theater and Rush :D

Howdy, Stranger!
