dave_matthews_useless_shit black-dyed gel product I really fucking hate Dave Matthews. I just want to watch him choke on a rottweiler's dick. 010618 ... baby satan really? you like dave matthews? swell. 010618 ... nocturnal well what music do you like, mr. gel man? 010618 ... dB Carter Beuford is an excellent drummer though. You gotta admit that. 010619 ... black-dyed gel product arrg, I was writing down what I listen to, and I acidentally erased it. I'll try again. So to answer your question, nocturnal, here I go: I grew up on the Long island scene, which has a ton of great bands. I lived for people like Silent Majority. I never got into ska because by nature I do not like little children, and those are the types that go to the shows. I always stayed more on the hardcore and punk side. Hardcore: The thing about hardcore is that the best hardcore bands are the ones that stray from the fundamentals of hardcore and do their own thing. I guess Kill Your Idols or Ensign would best catagorize hardcore. The atypical bands I enjoy are GlassJAw, thisyearsmodel, E Town Concrete, and Comin' Correct. Oh, and Shai Hulud is good too. My friends love God Forbid, but I find them too cheesy. Punk: I've always listened to the standards like Sex Pistols, Ramones, NY Dolls. I love green day and all the mainstream 90's punkers. I think my favorite of that category is Pennywise, but I still love Bad Religion even thought their last album wasn't that great. Of the scene bands, I was very into I Farm and Anti-Flag, nothing too poppy. Currently, I enjoy the Movielife and basically any band in the Lost in Space cliche. I enjoy emo, but i find that after three spins of a dashboard confessional cd I lose interest. Nevertheless, I have quite a few saves the day albums. Alternative is of course a staple of my diet. I constantly consume blind melon songs, and i love weezer, the rentals and that dog. RHCP are amazing. I live through grunge, so yes I a m a fan of all of those bands. Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, do I need to go on? I listened to a lot of industrial music as a kid. NIN, KMFDM, skold, Pig, Gravity Kills that kind of stuff. I was an odd child. I don't really listen to that much any more. I am a closet Gin Blossoms fan. I also breathe pixies songs. Metal. It is unavoidable. If you grew up on LI you have to love it. I have every Metallica cd, but i haven't given them a spin in eons. Pantera, Deftones, Slayer, its all great. Guns n roses. If your thinking i'm into a band like Clutch or tool you're probably right. I like the funk based rock. Stuff like early Incubus; I've been listening to them ever since "Enjoy Incubus" came out in 97. I love Hoobustank and Gruvis Malt. My dad always listen to a lot of classic rock, so it's no big surprise I live on that stuff. I am very much about the Beatles, Skynyrd, Zep, Zappa, the Who, AC/DC, Hendrix, Springsteen, the Doors, and Jefferson Airplane. Its all beautiful. I once listen to nothing but Tom Petty for a month straight. Of the classic bands I've seen, I'd say AC/DC, Bruce, and the Who put on the best show. I always look for strange new things. I make passionate love to mindless self indulgence, at the drive-in, Lostprophets, Sunny Day Real Estate, and anything else enlightening. I listen too a lot of singer-songwriters. I've been listening to a lot of Simon and Grafunkel, Cat Stevens and Gordon Lightfoot lately. Of the lilith fair type stuff, the only person that has peak my interest is Tori Amos. I like some jazz. Armstrong, Davis, Ellington, and Wynton Marsalis. NO KENNY G!!!!!!! I hate country... ALL OF IT. I like rap that makes me either think or laugh, no Nelly or Master P. Being from NY, I prefer Wu Tang. Run DMC is of course my fav. West Coast is fine too; Snoop is great. I hate Puff Daddy; I think he should be run over with a Jeep and tossed of of a tall building and into shark tank. DMX will probably hurt me one day. I don not like Eminem, I just don't find him that interesting. Public Enemy is great. A lot of people who listen to rock say they don't like rap, but I find that it is sometimes something that just draws you in if it is really good. On the other hand, Jay-z does suck. I like prog stuff like Praxis or Rush. I will personally murder fred durst. I stopped watching mtv a long time ago. I detest pop. I won't even get into the boy band problem. Of classical, I would say that Bach is my favorite, although I am not too familiar with the intricities of classical music. I like more ambient bands like Earth.ling too. Funk is great. I think George Clinton is brilliant. Parliament and Funkadelic are the groups that define the sound. I started playing the bass because of bootsy collins. Shonen Knife!!!!! I sing in three bands, a punk band, an acoustic-based industrial outfit, and heavier rock project. I am a vocal performance major in a music college. Stuff I've been listening too lately is a lot of GlassJAw, Sunny Day Real Estate, Cat Stevens, and Dog Fashion Disco. I also reccommend the Getaway Car. I realized there's a lot of stuff I forgot to cover, like the newer metal bands and blues and other things. Any questions feel free to ask. 010619 ... phil ilearnednothing 020307 what's it to you? who go blather from
