Update: What\'s in your cd player - Part 2?

Hehehe, I find it really interesting listening to everyones different musical tastes, and I think its great cause it means we are all unique. I\'m ecclectic, I like all types of music, must say I\'m not a metal fan though, but I do like a good rock tune. I like alot of differnet artists for alot of different reasons. Talent is pretty important.

I love Linkin Park\'s Meteora. I also love many off-stream bands, such as Dream Theater and Liquid Tension. While Eminem is fun to listen to, rap doesn\'t really cut the cheese for me.

^^
I love Meteora too, think its great. The Strokes are also pretty cool.

Both The Datsuns & The Mooney Suzuki have put me in a better mood as of late.

You guys mention so many rappers than dont talk about what I mentioned.

BTW: Black Eye Peas is rap? okay.

but there is a lot of rock music about it also.

Not even as close as much as rap. Rock has always set the mainstream as rebelious music. When Rock was first introduced- it made parents cringe. Now listen to rap. Its the same thing. But with 10000x swearing, and so many different shocking insights in the songs- its amazing. They all think they are badass\'s so they can say "We ****ed your mom", and shit like that. Why the hell are they talking about that?

Sure Marilyn Manson isnt a good example of good clean rock. But their are no good clean bands out their. Every thing has a dark side, and a light side.

Anyway

Any type of rock owns rap.

[Living-In-Clip]

Maybe in your opinion it does, but you lack any kind of proof on that.

And if rock owns rap - then why was there a surge of RAP/ROCK bands such as Korn and Limp Bizkit? Hmmm..

they\'re "sell outs" from now on

Their pre-"Free Tibet" stuff (Licensed to Ill, Ill Communication, etc) is still good though

(For the topic)

Incase anyone cares, im picking up two new CDs that i\'d reccomend to everyone....

Alkaline Trio - Good Mourning
NoFX - The War on Errorism (Not for all you GWB fans out there :-P )

RAP/ROCK bands such as Korn

HAHAHAHA!

Oh God that made my day. If you actually listen to KoRn, and know anything about the band, you would know they arent even metal. Technically it classifies under Nu Metal. RATM- now that is RapMetal.

On the KoRn thing. They dont have a genre. They are so origional, so influental, so different, and diverse it cant fit into anything. They were the first band to use 7 strings tuned down to almost bass like porportions. Their lightning fast double-bass beats, and their amazing bassist just slapping away. They dont classify themeselves into any genre.

You cant even compare a band like KoRn to rap. Sure- they have rap friends, and about 3 rap songs. But thats just for the hell of it. They arent serious about it- its for kicks.

[nO-One]

Korn was good on the first album, life is Peachy was nicely dark. The rest is rubbish IMO

you want metal?

real f*cking metal?











listen to Meshuggah.





thats all i have to say.

First of all- if your going to insult a talented artist- Spell his name right.

Second of all- Marilyn Manson (By far not my favorite, but totally kickass band) are better than any rap artist you could list. All they do is talk fast while some poor white kid makes a "phat" beat in the background. Yeah- real musical talent. ****- those thugs can come and shoot me, after all they are total badass\'s right?

Ok first of all. If you dont know many artists that are not mainstream and you cant sit down and listen to any of the stuff dont even try to say garbage like this. I listen to probably more music genre\'s than 90% of the people in this forum, (i may be wrong). The roots for instance are a great example. Jurrasic 5 and dialated peoples as well. Tupac may rap about violence but he speaks a lot of truth. You know nothing of the matter so spare me. As for manson, he isnt near any of the top rap/hip hop artists and even if that were wrong its all a matter of opinion. Your logic in the situation is flawed so please dont get all uppity when somebody doesnt like somebody from a genre that you like and perffers another.

On another note, rock, metal, shock rock, etc. is full of drugs, killing and mindless things. The only thing that could possible make them sound more sofisticated is in the way they dilineate their point of view, not to mention that a lot of artist seem to be in the same hole of partial anger and depression, (not all by far but many). Kids dont commit suicde over a tupac song, its just that some of the kids that listen to his music are ignorant in the first place. And rap isnt nearly as full of hate as metal, etc.

Please lets just not even go into this cause its all in opinion. Just think before you post

Beatles
Sinatra
Eminem
Missy Elliot (Don\'t ask me why)

I hate Miss Elliot. Her voice makes me sick. Her music-videos tickle my stomach. And she is no eye-pleaser, either.

Get your freak on... Yeah right.
