What's spinnin' on your spinner?

[Botch the Mad]

wow. i love soad. must have been a bad show.

[The Ginger Wookie]

Just got Probot. Dave Grohls tribute to Old school Black/Metal. Very heavy and very good. The Lemmy track is the best Motorhead track never released, or written by Motorhead, if that makes any sense. haven't listened to it enough yet to give a complete rundown. Just establishes for me what a talented guy Dave Grohl is, as he writes and plays virtually the whole album.

[Nosgali Songsayer]

welp, got my car stereo stolen which is where I listened to most of my music at. but they left the CD's so I'm going through an angry Nevermore kick right now.

"Life is seen through heroine dreaming cold and benign / I don't want to be saved I'm next in line to die"
~Nevermore

[hocopepa]

just to rub it in, i got NIN's and all that could have been ltd edition for 74p, i love my job

[topol_sheap]

following on from teh Wookie - and it seems I've missed the boat on this, twice now... ;( Probot are amazing... it's weird though as loads of the tracks sound exactly like the bands that they are from... you have Max Cavalera, and it sounds just like the days when Sepultura were good, and the Lee Dorian track reminded me so much of Midnight mountain by Cathedral it was untrue, shame it was without the clapping though...

Only things missing were Tom Araya and James Hetfield, then and only then would I be able to return to late 80's early 90's metal that this album emcompasses so well.

A superb album

Over and out.

[The Ginger Wookie]

Wahayy!!! A new Monster Magnet album is out. Much rejoicing was in the land(at least my flat any way). L LOVE MONSTER MAGNET. This is a really good one too. I'm off to watch the DVD.

[topol_sheap]

it's funny really as I was listening to "Monolithic Baby" only on saturday evening:) It's really good. Although I have listened to their stuff for about 10 years, it's still as good as it's always been!

Oh, and I was listening to Desert Sessions 1/2 last night. Not sure if I like it, well that's not true, I like it, but I'm not sure what to make of it. I liked 9/10 which I picked up at the weekend.

[ March 18, 2004, 03:19 AM: Message edited by: Tops ]

[The Ginger Wookie]

I think its far better than God Says No, On an equal footing with Powertrip. I liked Superjudge but the production was pretty crappy on that. I think they are a great heavy Rock n Roll band.

[topol_sheap]

the last one I heard was either powertrip or superjudge, but it's soooo long ago now. It's nice return to something and realise you still like it.

[topol_sheap]

currently listening to way too much of the following:
Tenacious D (I really can't help it, it's like a hardcore crack addition, well that's what I imagine anyway!)
Queens of the Stoneage - Rated R

Both great albums smile.gif

[Helmet Head]

Just listening to The Coral The Coral and The Coral Magic and Medicine in preperation for there new albumb...Great Stuff grin.gif

[topol_sheap]

it's a shame they are sh*te live though :( musically great, no argument there, but boring beyond belief on the stage.

as for me... still listening to Tenacious D - maybe this is what a hardcore crack addiction is really like - hell, who can tell? Must remember to stop singing Karate in Sainsburys. (lyrics (http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Karate-lyrics-Tenacious-D/32E2857E0276780A48256B7200088C17))

also been listening to Incubus' A Crow Left of Murder, which is superb... and Metallica's re-issue of Live Sh*t, Binge and Purge - glad they re-issued this baby as I couldn't afford the £100 when it originally came out, mind you I wouldn't pay that now for an album (3 CDs and 2 DVDs in this case, so a bargain at 30 quid)...

Now waiting for my copy of the Complete Masterworks (Tenacious D live DVD)... only £4.99 on cdwow.. a bargain you might say.

[Helmet Head]

Franz Ferdinand is spinning upon my spinner at the mo...

[Exsanguinator]

Been mostly listening to Nightwish - overblown and pompy - but what the hey? lol

[Goth Girl]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Not Nightwish!!! They played at last year's M'era Luna festival (just returned from this year's!) and they were dreadful! If it hadn't been over 100oF I'd have made the effort to move somwhere I couldn't hear them!

But if you like Nightwish, check out Within Temptation... more of the same, heard them playing in Germany on Saturday. Again, to hot and comfy to move, but I wish I'd had earplugs!

Of course you should be listening to Funker Vogt... they were the best band of the weekend, even better than Covenant and Icon of Coil, high praise indeed from me!

[Canker]

Just picked up "Fallen" by Evanescence.
The band strikes me as slightly Gothic.

I'm loving it! grin.gif ;)

[sdkdmd]

Got a turn table for last christmas and I been spinning some old stuff,some really old stuff from late 60's early 70's [I'm up there a little bit] mostly Jimi Hendrix,the all time greatest ever.

[topol_sheap]

still on tenacious d...

lots of Incubus, Velvet Revolver, and Spiderbait also.

Currently listening to XFM on the radio though...

[Exsanguinator]

I know Nightwish are terrible - overblown and playing straight to an audience but I really don't care... You know what else I've on my playlists, so many guilty pleasures there's hardly any room for innocent ones!

I've got the Killing Time... album of Vogt's but am having trouble sourcing others without making myself bankrupt at amazon! lol

Right now though (in the shop) I'm listening to Blondie with Rip Her to Shreds... ;)

[Goth Girl]

For goth/cyber stuff try Music Non Stop's website...

[Lagula Longarm]

For the first time in ages, I bought a couple of singles today..
The Libertines and Kasabian grin.gif
Alao playing the free cd with NME this week...surprisingly good.

On another note, Me and Mazrah are so skint we have applied to mean fiddler to be recycling volunteers at the Reading Festival this year...It's the only way we will be able to get into the gig smile.gif

[Silver]

I've been indulging my teenage years by listening to the first album by Skid Row which I haven't heard in years as I only had it on cassette, and I still love it!

[Nosgali Songsayer]

I've beem listening to one album exclusivly for the past couple of months. Everyone should own Nevermore's "Enemies of Reality" CD.

1. Enemies Of Reality
We are the nothing grating against the norm
We are the something that will not conform
No one understands what we've been given
We are the useless by-products of soulless meat
We are all gone we all sing the same tragedy
Open wide and eat the worms of the enemy
We are the enemies of reality, in a world that's unforgiving
Waiting to sanitize bastard tongues
To purify the ignorance that hides the sun
The less you understand the more you're driven
Packaged and processed the masses are force fed
The standards they judge us on swallow the rot we shed
Open wide and eat the worms of the enemy
We are the enemies of reality, in a world that's unforgiving
Breathing dust and decay while I'm sipping
Human trust and betrayal
Losing faith once again
Take my hand my friend, my foe, I am enemy
Open wide and eat the worms of the enemy
We are the enemies of reality, in a world that's unforgiving
Open wide, eat the words, become what you most fear

[Helmet Head]

I am an extremely happy bunny, just got myself 6 Oasis tickets for next years Manchester gig way-hey grin.gif

[topol_sheap]

The Clash - London Calling
Nirvana - Bleach
Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP
Led Zepellin - II
Jet - Get Born
Kasabian - Kasabian... is it just me or are these a bit poo??? or is it just the stupid amount of hype that surround this band?
Donkey Blanet - sessions - a truly bad band.

[Goth Girl]

My ears are currently in love with a German (quelle surprise!) band called Rotersand, who I saw last month... best new band I've seen for a long time.

And this happy bunny has tickets to see Laibach next month... for any rathergood.com regulars, they provide the music for the stomping kittens! They're kinda like a Slovenian Rammstein!

[John & Paul]

Oh I feel soooooooo old... I never thought I'd end up like my parents, but it's happened !!! I don't recognise the groups !!! :( blush.gif :eek:

[Lupa the Ancient]

I've been listening to some of my old film soundtracks - Danny Elfman, Christopher Young, John Carpenter... plus War of the Worlds and Tublar Bells(still freaks me out 'cos of The Exorcist!)...

[topol_sheap]

damn it... I spelt Donkey Blanket wrong... how shameful.

[sdkdmd]

You feel old, John.

Last time i posted on this thread i was listening to my old LP'S, no not CD'S, LP'S.

[topol_sheap]

nothing wrong with LPs. I have a few kicking around somewhere ;)

[John & Paul]

If we wait long enough John all our LP's will come back into fashion :-D, I have about 120 up in the loft somewhere.

[sdkdmd]

how long do we have to wait?
my LP'S are from mid/late 60'& 70' going on 40 years.
that's a long time to wait. : smile.gif

[topol_sheap]

hell you could sell 'em on ebay, and if they are rare/good, you could make a packet, and then replace with CDs, which are more portable.

[Nosgali Songsayer]

Just picked up Atrocity "Atlantis"
and Grip Inc. "Incorporated"

repeat, repeat, repeat
awesome stuff!!!!

[Lupa the Ancient]

Awaiting the latest offering from U2 to drop through the letterbox.....

[Goth Girl]

Awaiting the latest offering from Panzer AG and Combichrist to drop through mine, LOL!

[Hubris]

Had to put in my two cents on this one.

Lamb Of God- Ashes of the Wake

This has been in my player for weeks now. Amazing metal-core.

[Lupa the Ancient]

Listening to the new U2 album which is good stuff... Listening to quite a few soundtrack scores at the minute with Lord of the Rings and the Christopher Young score for Hellraiser blasting out of the speakers ..... to counteract the upbeat stuff I've got some chillout classical to sooth me!! ;)

[John & Paul]

I've been playing the Downliner Sect Double album until I nearly wore it out.... it's good !!

[Helmet Head]

How to dismantle an atomic bomb by U2 is currently contiousley spinning on my spinney thingy.

Not sure if it's there best albumb ever or just really good as per usual, me thinks I should spin it a couple of thounsand times more before I jump to any conclusions....

But it is rather good

[Rixy]

I've been digging up my old cd's and I've been knocking out a load of Alice in Chains and Temple of the Dog.

[topol_sheap]

oooh, I was on that kick about 3 months ago:) Temple are superb. Mind you ALice in chains aren't bad either... one bad thing though, my copy of dirt appear to have broken - a weird bubble has appeared on the cd and it wont play anymore ;(

[Exsanguinator]

Since it's been announced that Paul Rogers will be touring with Queen (well May & Taylor anyway) next year I've been catching up on dodgy 70s & 80s Bad Company, Free and, of course, Queen...

[Rixy]

Tops,

Drop me an email and I might be able to help.

[Ema]

Symphony Of Enchanted Lands I & II by Rhapsody with II-The Dark Secret having Christopher Lee narrate a bit.

[Hubris]

The Haunted's-Revolver
Meshuggah's-I

This new Meshuggah rules, it's one track running at over 20 minutes. Great for the commute to work.

[Nosgali Songsayer]

Children of Bodom: Hatebreeder
!!!!

[Lupa the Ancient]

Listening to some classical tunes at the minute ... Elgar and Chopin....

[Goth Girl]

I'm all excited for the imminent new albums by Neuroticfish, Combichrist and Nine Inch Nails... and hopefully the tour dates that will accompany them all!

[Hubris]

Just picked up Children of Bodom's Hatebreeder, loving it so far. Thanks Nosgali! Also Amon Amarth's Fate of Norns. Good stuff. Looking forward to Black Label Society's new one.

[Red Willow]

Finally found an Iron Savior album in the shops-and at only 4.99!!! Looking forward to Bloodstock now.

[Red Willow]

EEEEEEEPPPP!!!!! just been to the nine inch nails website-two dates at the astoria for the end of march just announced, tickets go on sale this saturday morning. Much joy!!!

[Goth Girl]

9am Saturday morning to be precise... I predict it will be completely sold out by 9:02!

A lot of tickets have already been sold through the site's mailing list, so there aren't a lot of tickets left.

I'd suggest phoning rather than ordering online... they really will go quick, by the time any websites have been updated they'll be gone!

I will of course be in direct competition with you for tickets, LOL! If I get through I'm gonna try to get a few extra for either date, to sell (at no extra cost cos I'm nice like that!) to ticketless friends!

Is the new album released before then? Hope so!

In the meantime, have new CDs by [sitd] and Grendel arriving through the post soon, hooray!

[Red Willow]

i signed up for the mailing list but got no prior warning (grr!) i don't think the album's released til later unfortunately. Thanks for the tip, keeping my fingers crossed!

[Goth Girl]

A friend of mine got hers through the mailing list, lucky cow! But happy hunting, and good luck!

[Goth Girl]

Any luck Red? I didn't... phoned Star Green the second it turned 9am, but gave up after not being able to get through for half an hour! A friend of mine managed to nab a couple after going down to the Astoria at 6am to queue! If I hadn't been going out for the day I woulda done that too!

So no NIN tickets for me... but managed to buy a couple of Rammstein tickets for a week on Thursday from a friend!

[Red Willow]

Nope, sadly not. Apparently the phones were still jammed at 4.30 with people just being told they had sold out!! Hoping that after such a big response they add an extra date or that they play one of the festivals in the summer. Trying to stop myself buying some on ebay for £100+ each! Have fun at Rammstein though-should be amazing.

[Goth Girl]

I've heard vague rumours of an additional night, I'll send you a text if I hear anything!

A friend of mine who works in 'da biz' might be able to score a couple of tix for me, so I haven't completely given up hope!

[hocopepa]

Ok, so I pay attention to amazon recommendations sometimes and check things out. I've bought a lot of Nightwish and they suggest mostly bands I already know but today I got a new one.
Anyone know of anything by Collide (more down GG's path from what I've head of it)?
would apreciate any input.

[Silver]

My brother tried to get tickets for NIN, he said they sold out in 4 minutes. He did managed to get a coupla tickets on Ebay, cost him about £130 each though!

Unfortunately he's not taking me.

[Red Willow]

don't know if you guys have seen but there's another night up on the site, 4th of july at the brixton academy, the tickets go on sale on wednesday at 4pm.good luck people!

[Goth Girl]

So much for joining the mailing list... haven't heard a thing about that! I have three people trying to blag me NIN tickets from three different sources for the March gigs!

And hocopepa, never even heard of Collide! Might check it out if I can tear myself away from the new Combichrist album which is incredibly good. Although my fave music is currently a little known project called Electro Magnetic Pulse (guess who!)

[hocopepa]

Picked up a couple of their albums out of sheer curiosity. Think classical female vocal over NIN-esque industrial with a slightly more dancefloor appeal. Especially check out their cover of Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit, garenteed floorfiller at any goth club.

GG, I'd like to ask a favour. Do you know of anywhere (pref online) where i can listen to a sample of something by Combichrist or Icon of Coil?

[ February 25, 2005, 12:29 PM: Message edited by: hocopepa ]

[Botch the Mad]

been listening to my friend's band, screams of erida. they are my new favorite band. very heavy, very good. they are on my space.com, if you're interested.

[Goth Girl]

Hocopepa, send me your email address in a private message, will sort it out.

And for UK NIN fans, 4 UK gigs in July... London, Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester (finally got the email!). Tickets go on sale at 4pm Wednesday, so I'm gonna try for tickets in London and Birmingham!

[Exsanguinator]

Oh dear god - Just hope the ticket website doesn't go down!

[Exsanguinator]

At the moment I've gone back to a cheese-tastic classic and am listening to Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds...

What's the bet that Spielberg's beaties don't scream ULLLAAAAAA!!!! tongue.gif

[Lagula Longarm]

I don't know what with GG's obscure industrial (not withstanding the fabulous Rammstein) and Pybob's war of the worlds, I'm starting to think this site is full of weirdos ;)

I've been listning to kasabian, super fury Animals and system of a down.

I am also hoping to pick up a few albums in the coming weeks:
Graham Coxon, kaiser Chiefs, Bloc Party and the Futerheads.

[Hubris]

Been loading myself down with High on Fire's Blessed Black Wings, Dark Tranquility's Character & Crowbar's new one Lifeblood for the Downtrodden. If you've ever enjoyed Crowbar I fully recommend this one.

[topol_sheap]

I've been listening to the unreleased new album by Queens of the Stone Age (don't ask). It's absolutely superb.

I've also been listening to the new (also unreleased) Stereophonics. Also superb.

I'll be getting these when they actually come out, and if you get the chance do it - it's worth it.

I've also been listening to Queen, System of a Down (their new song Cigaro, is superb!)

Right that's way too many superbs for one post, I'm off!

Tops

[Helmet Head]

It's talking to DC too much that does it, I'm always throwing in the odd SUPERB to a conversation

[Lupa the Ancient]

U2 at the minute in preparation for the Manchester Gig....

Still getting into some classical sounds with Vivaldi and Mozart kicking outta my speakers.

Plus awaiting the Kaiser Chiefs album next week ... Leeds United fans!!!

[Red Willow]

argh!!!! We're going to nine inch nails! I'm shaking! Was on the website and calling two different numbers at once! Could only get circle but i'll be there, off to dance crazily round my room!

[Goth Girl]

Ooh, which day? I'm going on the Tuesday

[Silver]

I really feel the need to swear at you 2 a lot right now, but only because I'm insanely jealous!

Seriously I hope you both have a fantastic time and really enjoy yourselves.

Grrrrr!

[DC 1]

[Red Willow]

we're on the tuesday as well! And silver, if you wanna go they've added two more on the 13th and 14th, although the 13th is apparently already sold out, really annoyed now cos i could've got standing at those and i can't cancel my order!

[ March 02, 2005, 05:41 PM: Message edited by: Red Willow ]

[Goth Girl]

Yeah... I'm, ummmmm, going on the 14th too. Couldn't resist!

[Silver]

Yay, very happy now, ladies enjoy yourselves as much as you can with my full blessing (like you need it!) My brother got me a ticket to the Manchester gig, 11 July, Obviously he's now my favourite family member!

Yay! Happy, happy, happy!

[hocopepa]

Couldn't resist the new Judas Priest album, Angel of Retribution. Unashamedly old-school. Love it!

[Lupa the Ancient]

Judas Priest ... GREAT STUFF!!!

[Hubris]

Originally posted by hocopepa:

[Goth Girl]

Go Debbie! Go Debbie!

Scored myself a couple of tickets to see Nine Inch Nails tomorrow night!! It's at the Astoria, so just a small gig, but their first UK gig for 5 years, hooray! And the tickets were free, heh heh!

This is in addition to the two dates I'm going to see them in July!

Can't wait... wonder if cameras are allowed? smile.gif

[nightshade]

Spinner, now that's a term I haven't heard in a while....

Currently, in my car, I think it's David Bowie's Changes. (the collection of works) But more often than not I find Rammstein's Reise, Reise in there.

I need a new obsession. That poor CD's going to burn up on me.

[Hubris]

Originally posted by nightshade:

[nightshade]

Nope, never heard of it.

[Hubris]

Good stuff. Stylings of the likes of Rammstein. The later albums anyway.

[kenny]

I'm listening to Jeff Wayne's War Of The World's, haven't heard it for a while but it still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.

[Lupa the Ancient]

War of the Worlds is a classic ....love it.

Listening to The Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy, Kaiser Chiefs and Classic FM.

[Goth Girl]

I'm listening to lots of Nine Inch Nails... nope, seeing them play live TWICE in the last two days hasn't bored me!

[Silver]

I am also listening to NIN, totally excited about seeing them in July, really can't wait!

[topol_sheap]

today I've mostly been listening to my own screams.

on a serious note, I've also been listening to Audioslave. Just read an article that they've a new album out soon, so thought I would give the old one another spin. Liking what I hear all over again! smile.gif

[Nosgali Songsayer]

SWEET! Aghora is coming out with a new album "Formless" and so is Nevermore "This Godless Endeavor" can't frickin wait!

[Hubris]

Yeah, the new Nevermore should rule! They'll be touring that album on the Gigantour co-headlined by Megadeath & Dream Theater.

[Exsanguinator]

[WITH_TEETH] :cool:

[Goth Girl]

I need to buy that NOW! Popping into Camden at lunchtime, might pick it up then.

And in just over a week I'll be spoilt for choice for live music, with about 200 bands playing in Leipzig over 4 days!

[Silver]

Hope you enjoy GG, what am I saying, of course you will!

I have been reliably informed that my copy of With Teeth will be on it's way soon. Yay!

[topol_sheap]

I've been listening to the new System of a Down album for the last couple of weeks, and now it's on the way from hong kong, thanks CD-WOW... I also have a few other items on order!!!

Can't wait for the new AudioSlave, the new WhiteStripes, the new Oasis (just kidding), the new FooFighters!!!

[Goth Girl]

Heard a great band called Novakill at the weekend, so rushed off to a CD stall and bought both their albums, as well as the new VNV Nation CD.

Still waiting for the new Rotersand album, but I'll be seeing them play live in Holland in a few weeks, so hooray!

[The Ginger Wookie]

SOAD Mesmerize rules my life at the moment. I don't like the word genius, but these guys are pretty damn close. It sounds nothing like thier previous albums and yet it's SOAD.

Standout tracks for me are BYOB, Dirty pornography, Question! Cigaro. Actually it's just a brilliant album with no filler.

[Goth Girl]

New album from Sheep on Drugs! Awright! The real and original Sheep on Drugs too, not that annoying git from Tarantella Serpentine pretending to be King Duncan (this does actually make sense if you like Sheep on Drugs!)

Heard some snippets and it's sounding gooooood!

[topol_sheap]

right once again I need to mention the new SOAD album... it's the greatest album I've heard so far this year:) ALthough the new Audioslave album is bloody good.

I saw soad the weekend before last, and it was amazing... came home with a few bruises!!!!

ALso in the car at the moment, is the new Nine Inch Nails (what's it called? with teeth?) - I like what I hear so far, but in the same vein Sam bought me the new release of the downward spiral (relacing the one thrown out - ahhhhhhh)... I love that album!!!!

[DC 1]

Have to agree with Wookie and Tops.

Best I've heard for a while

[Hubris]

Got the new Corrosion of Conformity, In The Arms of God, last week. It's got some excellent muddy rock tinged with blues sound. I fully recomend this to anyone.

[Botch the Mad]

soad has always been one of my faves.

[hocopepa]

Just a sudden need to ressurect this much venerated thread so a quick walk through my insane nights listening: Still buzzing a little from last night started with some Combichrist, then as the exhustion started to hit the cure vinyls got a look in and now i'm sat listening to the eels latest. Genres? P'ah!

[Goth Girl]

Did you enjoy the Combichrist gig? I loved it, though I was so tired!

Are you going to go see them at Slimelight on Dec 17th? I imagine Andy will also do a DJ set that night too.

Today I'll be mostly listening to the new Feindflug CD, Volk Und Armee.

[Sophie]

just bought a Hanoi Rocks CD, Lean on Me. I know, I know it's very old, but I don't really like much modern music at all!

[topol_sheap]

didn't think it would be possible to release 2 great albums in one year, but SOAD did it. the follow up to mESMERIZE, Hypnotize is absolutely f**king awsome. it's possibly better than the first half of a years worth of music.

[topol_sheap]

oh just got the QOTSA live dvd/cd combo. fabulous stuff indeed smile.gif much recommended smile.gif
