Considering I'm in a "heavy" music phase lately (among some experimental stuff like Godspeed You! Black Emperor and ambient electronica like Aphex Twin) I thought I should make my first topic about heavy music.
Do you like heavier forms of music? I'm talking about metal and grindcore, or even some hardcore punk.
Currently, my favorite metal bands would be;
The Dillinger Escape Plan
Meshuggah
Tool
Opeth
Kyuss
The Melvins
Sepultura
Suicidal Tendencies
Rage Against The Machine (Not that heavy, but awesome nonetheless)
Black Sabbath
Unearth
Judas Priest
Superjoint Ritual
(In no particular order)
Also, am I the only one who has noticed that metal is slowly becoming the dominant genre again? Judas Priest and Black Sabbath are working on a new album, NWOAHM bands like Unearth are becoming more popular, and even bands like The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Audioslave - apparently - claimed their next album's going to be heavier than their previous work.
So yeah. Discuss. Or whatever it is you do here.
-
Maroon 5 is alright
-
so what brings you to dubcc? i'm not disrespecting you but i'm just wondering how the hell you got here ;D
-
well i listen to Slayer and Sepeltura and thatīs about it.
-
Maroon 5 is alright
No. Besides that, they're far from heavy. You know the topic title said heavy and not pop, right?
-
then how about Guerilla Black?

ur response is leaving me speechless ;D
Anyway, about the heavy music... I didn't even like the stuff Onyx did with Biohazard. Guess I'll leave this thread for what it is :-*

I listen to all kinds of music. Hardcore punk, jazz, hip-hop, electronica, blues, etc. So I'm here to discuss music. Also, my favorite album is "Coast 2 Coast" by Tha Alkaholiks. It's not like I'm a metal head or anything. Although I'm in a jazz influenced metal band. It's not like I only stick to the bands I listed earlier in this topic.
-

Can't say I blame you.
-
come on. your fav album is coast 2 coast by tha liks??? thats kinda strange. good album, but thats like saying your favorite emcee is keith murray
-

So? I know it's not an established classic like Entroducing.. by DJ Shadow or Reachin' by Digable Planets. But to me, it's on the same level.
Anyway. No offense, but I'd rather stick to the topic now. Which is metal and such.

canīt tell you alot about metal. As for hardcore punk, iīm not really into it either (when it comes to punk i prefer the poppier stuff cause itīs more musical), but you could try out bands like Raised Fist, Snapcase, Against All Authority, The Exploited, Refused etc. But as said, Iīm more into stuff like Green Day, Descendents or Lagwagon, some punk fans disrespect that shit and it definitely ainīt hardcore, but to me itīs just more interesting, musically
-
i heard a real strange grind core song called "Eazy-E Got Aids From Freddy Mercury" a couple of years ago and i think the group who had done it was called Anal Cunt. but thatīs a fucked up title.

Hahaha yeah. They have a sick sense of humor. They're quite enjoyable, though, if you're into non technical grindcore like Napalm Death.

I'm not at all into pop punk. It's not really punk to begin with.
The Refused are awesome, though. I scream like their lead singer. He pretty much influenced my vocals.
-
hard shit i like, Zeppelin, sabath, guns and roses,
new shit - Muse, Mars volta, Jimi, weezer, nirvana...
im not really into really heavy shit...
-
metallica rules, check out reloaded for some tight jams
-
Sabbath has a new album coming? With or with out Ozzy?

that "real punk" thing reminds me of the "real" hiphop thing...itīs stupid. Technically, Green Day and Lagwagon do make a kind of rock music that classifies as punk, whatever their relation to punk culture is. The Descendentsī influence on a lot of punk music is undeniable. All Iīm saying is that I do know bands who make harder stuff, but most of it is musically even more simple than the pop punk stuff already is....Refused are good, only i personally prefer singing over yelling and shouting. But AAA for example, some of their music is alright, but you cannot claim itīs very challenging to write those compositions. If you like it itīs cool, but i get bored from it. Iīm glad there are poppier bands like Green Day, because "Dookie" is just one of the most entertaining albums in my pretty large CD collection, whether itīs "really punk" or not, "Warning" was interestingly different and I even like how they completly desisted from "punk" however you define it and made "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams". That song is great and musically beyond 99% of those hardcore bands. But like I said, HC punk can be cool and itīs cool if you like it, only i hate it when some HC punk fans bash the poppier stuff (not talking about you now) to demonstrate how "real" they are, ignoring the music itself. Very similar to those stubborn, narrow-minded hiphop underground heads...to each his own

DEATH TO GREEN DAY!!! they sold out

DEATH TO GREEN DAY!!! they sold out
pretty much what iīm talking about...itīs notlike they make shitty music and itīs not like they EVER went on about what real fuckin punks they were...They started out as so-called "fun punk" and now they made some songs that donīt have to do shit with punk....SO WHAT?

Seriously. I am in those circles, and I can tell the difference between pop punk and punk. There is just so much. And I am far from close minded. It's just how it is. Punk is more than just power chords or conventional time signatures.
And who cares if it's simple? Rap is even more simpel than punk. If it sounds good, it's good. And how many pop punk bands can claim to have the the most important and innovative guitarist of their decade? Black Flag can, and they're a hardcore band. With free-jazz and heavy metal elements.
It's fine you like those bands. I don't care. It's just that they are not punk. Except ofr the Descendents. Sure they're poppy. But so were the Ramones. Being catchy or not doesn't have to do anything with being punk or not.
Also. Punk without shitty production and a lot of guitar feedback just wouldn't be punk. It's like metal without distorted guitars. Punk has to be dirty and chaos to be punk. Just like computer music (like, let's say, Karlheinz Stockhausen and Paul Lansky) needs computers.
metallica rules, check out reloaded for some tight jams
The last thing I'd check out if I'd listen to Metallica would be Reloaded. They started to suck after ....And Justice For All. Kill 'Em All's good, though. I still think Lars Ulrich is rather overrated as a drummer, though.
Anyway. To anyone who did not know yet. I was member of this forum more than a year ago or something. One of my screennames was Whenimondamic. In case anyone remembers me.

yeah definitely check out the Mars Volta. Another band i'd check out is Sigur Ros if i were u, it's some great shit, a lot like Godspeed. Bjork's new album is some heavy shit. Check out Dream Theater, they're a great band. NIN's "the Fragile" is a good album also.

The Mars Volta's first 2 records are great. As in, their EP and Deloused. I'm not very pleased with the leaked version of their new album. Especially The Widow. It sounds like a cheesy Stairway To Heaven rip-off. And STH sucks ass.
I have ( ) by Sigur Rós by the way. Track 4 is awesome. Although the whole thing is rather pretentious. The music itself is awesome. The fact that they made a concept album that focusses on the music rather than the credits or lyrics is something I'd like to see more often. Mogwai are a great band, too.
Dream Theater are extremely talented but I always thought of them as pretty cheesy. I have a lot of respect for their musicianship, though.
Anyway. When I say heavy music, I don't mean rock music in general. Just the heavy sub genres. The Mars Volta, Sigur Rós, Nirvana, etc. aren't really heavy. And Sigur Rós aren't even close to heavy.
-
Led Zepplin and Sabbath are real good
for punk i like the Sex Pistols--thats real punk
-
yeah, it seems like you're looking more for metal bands. i'm not into that kind of shit to be honest. GYBE isn't even close to heavy if you mean heavy guitar riffs and lyrics, cuz Godspeed don't even have lyrics. You should check out Fugazi if u havent'
-
I am not looking for anything. I'm in a metal band, the last thing I'd really need is anyone to recommend me metal or grindcore. And yes, I know of GY!BE, and I listen to them all the time. I have their first album in my signature.
Fugazi are good. But I prefer Ian's first band. Minor Threat.

donīt state that like itīs a fact. I doubt thereīs a precise definition of punk that every album can be judged by as to if itīs punk or not. Itīs not like I care if my Lagwagon CDīs are punk, but the technical definition of the style is not clear from all I know,prove me wrong (prove though, donīt just SAY itīs wrong)
And no, I donīt care itīs simple, at times I just need less simple music. MOST rap is more simple musically, but itīs also an art to make a good repetitious rap song arrangement, I mean a REALLY good one...and rap is more challenging when it comes to linguistic versitality, but i donīt wanna make this a comparison, what would be the point
and I donīt think Greg Ginn was the most innovative guitarist of a whole decade

donīt consider yourself too important but i figured that before you said it lol. You got banned back then right?
