Heavy Metal

[Agent Orange NYC]

Hellz ya! I was really into metal back in the day. Even early/ pre-metal. I think all the acid I used to do could explain that. Very big Hendrix and Led Zep fan, the Sabbath, Maiden, only old Metallica, Queensryche. I've got the baddest Picture disc collection of metal. - Then came the pills, house, then Ketamina and then techno stuck! - haha

[Jimfish]

cant say ive evr been into metal - nor any guitar music, when i was a kid i used to get shit for liking dance music as i was the only one out here in the sticks :( i used to be a proper into jungle when i was a weenie :)

Nothing wrong with a few bands by the names of Iron Maiden, Slayer (South of Heaven, baby), Cannibal Corpse, Fantomas (Tony, I'm a Patton fan!), some other Patton projects. Fans of guitar rock ala Iron Maiden should really check out the first album by the band called...believe it or not..."The ****ing Champs"

More industrial type bands for me would include NIN (a big influence), some skinny puppy (but not all), and Front Line Assembly.

Of course there are many more bands in these genres I like its not nessecary to list them all.

To be quite honest I grew up around the skater crowd, not the rave crowd so I've been subjected to tons of hard rock and old school hip (which I love). On top of that I'm also from Wisconsin, USA and my dad owned a bar...so naturally I like cock rock such as Journey, Styx, Scorpions, a little Speedwagon, and Foreigner! holy ****.

[The Overfiend]

Lmao Cock Rock.
I used to like the rock song from the Transformers movie. The Touch.
And The F*cking Champs Rox.

really this suggestion should go into the dark/industrial section, but everybody NEEDS to hear this.

its a project by the old faith no more lead singer, mike patton (who i consider to be a musical genius, i swear you would not beleive some of the crazy shit he does) and the dave lombardo from slayer, and the guys from mr bungle (another patton classic band) and the melvins. its called fantomas, and while the second album is stunning in the form of metal songs, the first album is like the darkest most punky metal soundscape set to follow the frames from a 1930s comic. its IMMENSE and i saw them do it live!! its so abstract i thought it was all sampled and sequenced, but no, they do it properly live and go from the best 4bars of punk riff to haunting screams then silence, then patton doing crazy shit with his throat. there are no words at all, only noises from his mouth. i cant big this up enough, and i've lost my copy of the cd, shiiiiiiit

Has anyone ever heard 'Adult Themes for Voice' by Mike Patton?

It's a seriousley ****ed up album. The whole thing was recorded in hotel rooms around the world using a mic, a 4 track & a few weird effects. It's one of the sickest albums I've ever heard!!

[Tony]

yeah, i have that and its sooooooo sick. just patton and a four track and some effects in hotel rooms. screaming and shouting and making unbeleivalble noises with his throat. there is also pranzo oltransito on the same label. more surreality, absolutley bonkers!!
genius!!

[slimboy]

My favourite track's the one that's made entirely from him screaming f**k in as many bizarre ways as possible.

Might try dropping that one in the middle of a techno set!

[Dustin Zahn]

Patton's a vocal god.

As for SoS's infatuation with "The Touch"

You've got the touch...
You've got the pooow-er!

er...something. Yeah I got the transformers DVD around here somewhere.

Slayer are the gods. Period. Ministry eat little children.These are some great bands, and everybody must respect them. White Zombie is ****ing great. Does anyone here likes some gothic metal like Tristania or Sins Of Thy Beloved? Lately I`m really into it...

[icb]

BTW, nobody mentioned Pantera, one of my all time favorites...

[The Overfiend]

Cowboys From Hell
Slayer are gods but goth rock umm is like i dont know

[Inquisitor]

Goth rock or metal is utter shit in my opinion,i dont mind a few quality tunes by metallica or sepultura tho.

[Dustin Zahn]

BTW, nobody mentioned Pantera, one of my all time favorites...

they're racist bastards...that's why. :)

Really?

[Dustin Zahn]

hella racist.

[The Overfiend]

i never knew that and to be honest I am very disappointed.

[miasma man]

I kinda got into rock sort of stuff (not so much Metal) from listening to Techno, in reverse I suppose. More of the older 70's stuff-some wicked mental sounds

Yeah, I like Fantomas. "Adult Themes..." is absolutely mad. I seem to remember my favourite being a track where he sounded like a hamster...!

Saw Mr Bungle live that was a very odd show. Patton is indeed a complete legend.

[Dustin Zahn]

Word 'em up. I heard Patton has a couple of movies coming out actually. Ian Lehman seems to be some sort of Mike Patton historian, so I'll see what the deal is with that. Did you hear the Peeping Tom stuff with Dan the Automator? A bit of a let down personally...

[el_satan666]

just throwin' my name in the pot for this metal thing! (Metal -> Gabba -> -> Hardcore -> Techno.) Very odd most of us went the same way. At least we'll have something to talk 'bout in the nursing home!
