YuppySlime:
Have you ever tried playing live?

Several times.

Dragonforce suck live not because they have a bad soundguy but because they cant play that fast. Its not the quality of the sound, background noise, fuzz or hum its the fact that they cant play the songs at the same speed as their CD live.

I would also like to add that I like country. I dont know many bands but I play in a country band and its great hah!

I like the metal, rock and indie spectrums of music.

At the moment I'm listening to Kamelot.

Bwaaar, metal \m/

My top 10:
3 Inches of Blood
Children of Bodom
Blind Guardian
HORSE the Band
Demons & Wizards
Eluveitie
Symphony X
Dark Tranquility
Gamma Ray
Helloween

Rock, Metal, Punk, AltRock and pretty much anything Rock/Metal.

Yeah same with me. Mostly Metal though.

I'm more into "mellow" rock. Sublime, Weezer, Beck, Radiohead, Counting Crows, and Everclear have been my favorites for a while.

Heavy Metal, Hard Rock, Desert Rock, Vocal Groups, Classical (Only a few pieces though), and some anime songs (J-Pop...I guess, but only a few pieces hehe), electronic. And the everpresent etc.

My favorite bands/artists are: Queens of the Stone Age, Eagles of Death Metal, The Inkspots, Danzig, The Mamas and the Papas, The Flaming Lips, Daft Punk, Kraftwerk, Queen, The Lovin' Spoonful, Modest Mussorgsky(Yes, just -that- piece.), The Beatles, Amon Tobin, David Bowie, Muse.

Mami Kawada, KOTOKO, Lia, Nightmare, UVERworld, Garnet Crow, Origa, and Do As Infinity. Yeah, in case you hadn't figured it out, I'm a huge fan of Japanese music. Pretty much the only non-Japanese I listen to (by choice) is Evanescence.

Metal and Alternative Metal and a tiny ickle bit of Drum 'n' Bass.

Favourite bands are:

Machine Head, Arch Enemy, Caliban (not technically gifted but it's good solid metal), Trivium, Slipknot, Children of Bodom, Chimaira...

Can't stand Dragonforce....

KMFDM, Front Line Assembly, Megadeth, Serj Tankian, Public Enemy, Run DMC.

I'm quite varied when it comes to music.

I listen to a bit of everything (rock, metal, punk, dance, j-pop, country, hip hop, r&b, techno, showtunes, animals in washing machines, etc). I'm also really into oldies*.

Bands/artists that are currently on my mp3 player:
Killswitch Engage, Within Temptation, Utada Hikaru, Dragon Ash, Los Campesinos, The New Pornographers, Rascal Flats, the entire soundtrack of "Rent".

*True story: I was born in '85. I did not know of ANY music made after 1975 until I was 8 years old. We were raised on ONLY music from the 50's to the 70's.

Classic Rock,Led Zeppelin!

Metal/Rock/Alt(REM?)
Plus soundtracks for Sci-Fi films and Westerns

I don't like one specific genre of music, but I absolutely can't stand country or rap. Some of my favorite bands are: Reel Big Fish, Against Me!, Daft Punk, Green Day (their old stuff is way better), Gogol Bordello, and Weezer. Really, i'll listen to anything that keeps me interested.

EDIT: oh god, how could I forget Johnny Cash?! I love the Man In Black. :D

Several rock sub-genres, including math, alternative and punk.
Also house, mostly Daft Punk and Justice.
While those are my fav. genres, I can listen to several more.

To name a few favourite artists: Pavement, Incubus, Tool, Nine Inch Nails, OK Go, 65daysofstatic and Arctic Monkeys.

I love most hard rock (not too keen on punk, though) - I've never really grasped all the sub-genres, but I think I specifically like metal, classic rock, um, sludge-metal, I think, and groove metal...? I dunno, you can figure that out from my fave bands:

Rob Zombie, Godsmack, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Clutch, Pantera, Black Label Society, Audioslave, Tool, Down, Corrosion of Conformity, System of a Down

I also like, I guess you could call it symphonic music, like not classical exactly, but like game and movie soundtrack type-stuff. Like some examples would be the soundtrack to Road to Perdition or Cold Mountain. And also Gaelic music, like Loreena McKennit.

Wasn't there another thread like this?

Either way, I enjoy Metal the most with Thrash, Power, and Black as my preferred subgenres.

Classical music follows and then Indie and everything else is a mish-mash of what I deem as good ranging from the completely esoteric to Duran Duran.

Huge Queens Of The Stone Age. I have every album, single, B-side, demo and a nice collection of about a hundred bootlegs.
But I basically listen to anything that sounds like honest music to me. That goes from Shins to Mastodon. Some classcal stuff too, some jazz, a lot of blues, some electro (mostly belgian though).

YEAH! Dragonforce do the tastiest solos EVR!

Yeah I just LOVE mindless scale pounding on sped up recordings..

Man I hate dragonforce

QFT, and if you do not believe him or me, watch a video of them live...they Suck big time, they arent even close to whats on their albums/videos, just goes to show that they suck as a band

Its always a bummer if a band can't deliver live what they can in studio, but shit man, sound is sound. And if a recorded sound moves me, then I'm all for it.

Actually dude, ALMOST EVERY BAND is incapable of giving even 85% of the quality live that they do in studio, so if we went by you're standards, we'd only like a small group of acoustic or Dj style stuff.

Have you ever tried playing live? You can't set things up perfect like you can in a studio.

I don't mean to be a dick, and maybe I'm making too much of this (I don't really want to turn it into an argument or anything) but come on, be realistic.

The only band I've ever seen that sounded exactly the same live was the Adolescents. Even Iron Maiden and Dio were less then they were in studio. Not by much, but they were.

Well, yea, alot of bands cant perform live as well as they do in a studio, that makes them a bad band according to me, cause i have my standard when it comes to music higher then most people, but the bands i've liked and seen live have been very very close to studio sound, no slip ups or wrong keys or anything, and that according to me makes a good band, that not only can record an album, but also play their music live

Rock, metal, punk rock, punk metal(if there's such a thing lol), thrash metal, any metal really and I like movie and game soundtracks for some odd reason. Hate c/rap and hip hop, only thing I like them for is dancing to in clubs cause I have to admit that metal isn't exactly the greatest thing to dance to, also gives me a chance to move in on the ladies;)

It's all rock and metal for me. I generally listen to all sub-categories; Heavy metal, thrash metal, power metal, hard rock, speed metal, melodic metal, black metal, folk metal...

I don't listen to death metal, alternate metal and metalcore as I find that strange and ridiculous.

Nu-metal, classical, one japanese pop singer, mostly anything with bagpipes (I don't know why either) certain emo, rap, and various other genre, songs.

60s, 70s, 80s, n some of the 90s

Nearly everything today had come and gone for me.

Black Sabbath above all cause they kick ass!

Oh and has anyone here heard any old Australian bands like Cold Chisel, Master Apprentices or Easy Beats?

Dream Theater
Tool
Symphony X
Slayer
Metallica(First four albums only)
Opeth
Rush
Incubus
Radiohead
The Mars Volta

They're not too bad, but...that high?

haha, I love Reel Big Fish! their music is just so upbeat. i'm (hopefully) going to see them at Warped Tour :D

Has anyone ever listened to the soundtrack for The Last Temptation of Christ? WOW!! It was composed by Peter Gabriel and it just BLEW ME AWAY.

Anyway, on topic, I've been listening to a lot of German Krautrock lately (you know, Can, Neu!, Faust, Cluster, etc.); but the kind of music I like listening to the most comes from bands straight out of the post-punk/ new wave movement from the mid- late 70's to mid 80's; like:
-Wire
-Talking Heads
-XTC
-Brian Eno
-David Bowie (especially the Berlin Trilogy)
-Echo & the Bunnymen (fist 4 albums)
-Siouxsie And The Banshees
-Television
-Depeche Mode
-The Fall (maybe my fav. band)
-Killing Joke
-The Cure

Some old School Electro too:
-Cabaret Voltaire
-Front 242
-Kraftwerk
-The Residents (although not exactly electro)
-Raymond Scott
-Art of Noise

Some spanish Rock too like:
-Soda Stereo
-Babasonicos
-Manta Ray
-Plastilina Mosh
-Mano Negra
-El Columpio Asesino
-Os Mutantes (well those are actually Brazillian)
-Daniel Melero

I wish I could see them at Warped
Saw them at the London Astoria way back in March, my first time seeing them live. Since them, I've become... shall we say.. slightly obsessed with them :)
Hopefully they'll come back to England soon-ish

Mainly metal and its many variations, though I do like some hip hop, alternative, indie, pop, 70s, 80s, classical, country, rock...etc!

I really can't imagine Radiohead playing at a big venue, especially for In Rainbows.
