That's how I like it....people at work trip out when they here me listening to COB or Iced Earth. When they here me play the same on my guitar, it's even funnier to watch their expressions at first, and then they start thrashing!

i'm shutting up now, lol because i am surprised that a 38 year old would be listening to metal that new, and aggressive....  it's too new and aggressive for me lol and i'm 28, guess i'm surprised since most of the people i know are stuck in their teens, e.g. listen to the music they listened to in high school, and nothing older or newer than that (typically).... a small portion of the population i realise, but i figured that was the norm.

Nah, don't shut up Floyd!  It's an endearing quality, but you worry too much about hurting my feelings.  I' m a 50-year old who stll listens to the punk rock, for heaven's sake,  I've got thick skin!

Me, I listen to a lot of stuff, from the 50's through today in the rock genre.  Though most maintream rock from the 90's on isn't a big fave.  I like old school punk rock, garage rock, a lot of 60's rock, rockabilly/50's rock, roots rock, power pop, some alt-country...

i'm not worried about hurting anyones feelings lol, i just don't like to piss people off and start flame wars, it always bugs me when there is a convo going along and i think all is good and i say the wrong thing one time, and don't even mean any malice, but someone mis-understands and takes offence and it becomes a war, i have no desire to argue about trivial things, but i do like to debate certain topics, as long as the discussion stays mature

i have peculiar musical tastes lol i like different musics from different eras, like the 60's garage rock / psychedelic rock shiver, blue cheer, the amboy dukes etc. the 70's progressive rock / metal led zeppelin, pink floyd, black sabbath the 80's i really like alot of new wave / synth oriented stuff like depeche mode, tubeway army, prince ( i know, no flaming please) ironicly IMO rock basically slumped, in the 80's nothing good really happened IMO until guns n' roses came out, then there was a flood of decent bands, 90's once again not much in rock or metal worth of my time, BUT alternative rock blossomed and i listened to the pixies, dinosaur Jr actually those guys are from the 80's but i didn't discover them until the early 90's flaming lips, jane's addiction, and RHCP, current era there is some newer metal coming out i really like especially with the metal genre expanding, the new stoner metal, and doom metal stuff i really like, the sword, monster magnet, goatsnake was really good i liked them but they are no longer together and never got signed, funny how tastes cycle like that heavy to light to heavy again.......

[ninja636]

Everything is one big vicious cycle man. +1 on some of the bands you mentioned too!

Next up: Hitmen 3, Bubbling Under, from 1994.

Dunno how to explain them.  I thik they';re from somewhere in Scandinavia.

[floydmoline]

what kind of music? i haven't heard of them before.

[Brian Krashpad]

what kind of music? i haven't heard of them before.

They're kind of like a cross between early poppy punk (like Buzzcocks) and garage.  Have you ever listened to Little Steven's Underground Garage?  It's a syndicated radio show and also archived on the web.  Hitmen 3 would fit in on that show perfectly.

Oops, found a myspace-- they're from Helsinki, Finland:

The first couple songs they have there aren't necessarily representative of the album.  Play the 3rd one, "Quantum,"  and the last one,  "Final Irony;" those are what most of the album sounds like.

Anyhow, currently I'm listening to Meat Puppets Too High To DIe.  Also '94, by coincidence.

[floydmoline]

ok the meat puppets i know lol, like any nirvana fan i enjoy the hidden track :-P, backwater used to be one of my favorite songs, but i haven't heard it in eons lol

[ninja636]

Now your talking french. I'll have to check them out. Like I said, I'm pretty open minded when it comes to good music. I do like , I forgot the name of the band, and too lazy to dig through my vinyl to find out, the old punk band that Henry Rollins started out in.

[floydmoline]

black flag

[Brian Krashpad]

black flag

That's right.  And that's the version of the band that's the most well-known, with Rollins on vocals.

Oddly, however, Rollins wasn't the original vocalist, and he has said on more than one occasion that he thinks the band prior to his involvement was the best version of Black Flag.  Basically, Rollins was a fan of the band and used to go to all their shows.  When their prior vocalist dropped out, Rollins came in.

Currently: The Riverdales, self-titled, 1995, Lookout! Records.  Heavily Ramones-influenced punk trio with a smidge of 50's doo-wop (think 2nd NY Dolls album) thrown in.

there isn't *much* punk rock i care for, i guess some of the 80's groups i do like some call punk, but they are more art rock / goth / new wave than punk, like souixie and the banshees ..... blondie is concidered punk by some, i like them, but i don't think i'd call them punk lol

the only real punk i have cared for is: the clash - london calling, i used to listen to this album religiously, though at the time i didn't know what "punk" was i just thought it was good rock lol

the dead boys-- guns n roses turned me on to them, i don't think they ever made an album though, because all the stuff i have is live bootleged and i can't find any studio recordings heh

minor threat and fugazi - own every album, great alt rock nuff said :-P

if you haven't listened to fugazi GO BUY 13 SONGS!!!!!!! that's the name of the album

[Brian Krashpad]

The seminal Dead Boys album is called "Young, Loud, and Snotty."

[floydmoline]
