I know this has been done before, but it gives a chance for 'new guys n gals' to air their musical preferences/dislikes.

 

In the last couple of months I've been going completely retro and digging out OLD stuff (as well as new). You can currently find me listening to, among others, Sabbat - Dreamweaver, Maiden - Live at Donnington ( I was there), Anthrax Among The Living (Much based on S King novels - beware the Walkin' Dude), Some really old Del Amitri stuff (yep, that's right) and various 'Tallica offerings from the early days. This list is NOT exhaustive. I have so much to listen to all over again. Hey, I may even dig out some Wolfgang Amadeus, too :eek:

 

Recent stuff would be Goo Goo Dolls, QWOTSA and White Stripes. There is so little new stuff around that impresses these days, so I guess reverting to original music choice is the best thing to do.

 

Oh yeah, and any 70's Glam Rock/Cheesy stuff is excellent, too. :D

‘Bow to Leper Messiah’

Lord Wazzuck the Feckless of Taunton

I really can't say I have broad musical tastes... I detest most pop music (except 80s electronic), indie (unless you go back 15 years to the likes of PWEI and Wonderstuff, not this bedwetter/ XFM style crap), metal (yes, even Axegrinder!), rap, r'n'b, blues, jazz... you name it, I dislike it!

 

And despite my name, I'm not keen on most traditional style goth... I don't mind listening to old stuff like Bauhaus or Siouxsie, but not bands like Nightwish, Within Temptation or Lacrimosa... I'd sooner cut my ears off!

 

Think that there's not much left to like? Just industrial and EBM (electro body music) really... 'cybergoth' stuff. It's still a huge genre in it's own right, as my CD collection and 'list of bands seen' will attest. Rotersand rule the world, Ayria is the queen of music, and Implant, Covenant, Combichrist, Unter Null and loads of others make up the government (this is in my world, OK!).

 

And of course, EMP are the pretenders to the throne (yes, of course it's my band!)

That'll be Rammstein & Einsturzende Neubauten for you then!! Not much call for drumsticks there, methinks!!! :D

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not quite! Rammstein are a little commercial (and verging on too 'metal'!) for my tastes, though I don't mind them, very good live. Never been a fan of Einsturtende either, used to listen to them a bit way back when...

 

And there is actually a big call for drums... live drummers are the 'in thing' at the moment, and I've been asked to play with two other bands. Nitzer Ebb have been a big influence methinks, and Feindflug had 4 live drummers on stage when I saw them in June!

I like all the good stuff!

 

Don't like dance, r'n'b, rap, wingey, whiney, droney stuff like Coldplay etc but not quite as limited as GG, I like rock, metal, punk and goth - that is traditional goth and cyber goth.

 

I didn't know you liked The Wonderstuff GG, they're my cooking tunes, I love them!

I like most music but i've just loaded up the car for the trip to the con with:

 

SOAD x 2

Hazel O'Connor (Live)

Ramstein

Evanesence

Bowie (Pre 80's)

Pink - for Sarah

Orson - Sarah again

 

Luckily, i'm taking the in car dvd to keep her quiet so the last two will not be heard.

Good thinking DC!

Bowie pre 80's! Pure genius. I read somewhere quite a while ago that he used to form the basic content of his lyrics by ripping out sentences from mags and newspapers and shuffle them together, then hey presto, he'd have a new tune! Bizarre, but different.

Am currently having a run on the new Maiden album. Well, us old rockers, you know....... (And just who the hell is Benjamin Breeg?). Any answers (clean ones) gratefully received and worth a pint next friday for attendees!! :D

I hate Bowie, pre or post 80's

Ouch, Sharon!! That's a bit harsh. Hate always seems such an extreme word. I use the term 'dislike with aplomb'. Seems to work, cos all the nurks & numpties around here look at you funny!! Y'know, wide eyed n brainless!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

‘Bow to Leper Messiah’

Lord Wazzuck the Feckless of Taunton

Don't they look at you like that anyway?

 

I know hate is a bit strong, but I do mean it!

Hence the tag 'Lady of Extreme Violence', I presume?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

‘Bow to Leper Messiah’

Lord Wazzuck the Feckless of Taunton

Actually no, just because I hate doesn't mean I'm aggresive, though I can be!

 

That name comes from being called a couple of things by my mates that sends me into an instant rage, please don't try to guess what they are because I'm not going to tell you for your own safety!

I never guess!! And wouldn't presume, anyway. And thanks for my safety concern. I'm still bringing Bowie to the Con with me though - cos I can!! :D :eek:

You just might regret it at 7 in the morning when Sharon is still up and hammering on doors :-)

Booby traps will be strategically placed!

Rixy while I was still up at 7am, as you know, I think that by that time Chris was so broken that even if I'd have been hammering on his face he wouldn't have noticed!!

 

My new favourite tune is the one that goes "what's that coming over the hill, is it a monster?" I don't know who it's by or what it's really called but that's it.

According to Google it's by a band called Automatic, and the song is (surprisingly enough) Monster!

 

Never heard (of) it! I'm so bang up to date, LOL!

Strange choice of song there.............

Thanks Debs, I don't really think it'd be your cup of tea so in that respect I don't think you're missing anything, but I could be wrong! That's how up to date I am too in that I had no idea about the name of song or band!

 

DC it's one of those songs that just gets into your head somehow and won't go away, you know when you hear someone else singing it and it becomes contageous

Debs I've been meaning to ask, and since hearing the great EMP this weekend I'm even more interested to know what EMP stands for?

I know just what you mean Silver...that bloody telephone tune of Gayle's was in my head all Sunday night... minus all the expletives of course lol

And all those Angry Kid Bluetooth things too...................!

Lord Mandy the Feckless of Taunton!!

my dwarfs are not offended (ringtone-i might add for the unsure, or is that me?)

hi ho

i feel like an out of sort nocturnal bat surfing in the twiglet zone(trying to work at this time of night, its so wrong), im glad to see your all recouperating on the right road or is it the downward slope, an imitation of life maybe !!

I am going to be completely honest and say I really like Will Young and Robbie Williams!

 

I think the best gig I have ever been to was Goldfrapp at the Carling Academy in Birmingham, but then again the Doves were pretty amazing too and Hot Chip supported them.

 

The Automatic are really quite good, Monster was a brilliant track!!!! Played to death by Radio 1 however!!!
