Gloom Rock, Heavy Metal... whatever you want to classify them as:

Type O Negative

I find it hard to take Type O serious. Bloody Kisses was a decent album, but one week they're telling their fans that they are vampires, and the next week they are werewolves and ****.

What, you talk'n bout Wolf Moon? It's not a vampire/wolf thing to me. Each album is unique from the others. IMO, they're getting better with age, Slow Deep & Hard was great, but Life Is Killing Me is phenominal. They've got "themes" for each album, Bloody Kisses being a gothic overtone, while October Rust seemed more Pagan/Wiccan. (w00t)

Or you could say 'where is my mind' I love 'goin out west' by Tom Waits. Cos I got hair on my chest and look good without a shirt on. Will anyone else admit to listening to the Velvet Crush?

hey, Kaftan, is this weird enough (or is it just perverted)?

Mattias Eklundh, with some, hmm, more exotic guitar effects...

Speaking of wierd, I heard Reeves Gabrels (who worked with David Bowie in Bowie's Hours), once used a vibrator as a musical instrument. Is this true? I heard he was pretty out there in terms of exotic sounds... unfortunately I haven't heard any of his works.

@Role-Player:

 

Vibrators can be used as an effect on guitars, that I know. The best description of it would be "chainsaw on speed," maybe, I dunno, but it sounds pretty funky. As for using the vibrator only, well I'm not sure how that would be done, unless you tell the audience to hum along or something :)

I listen to all kinds of stuff and probably listen to too much music than is healthy or some such. Anyway, I've recently been listening to:

 

isis

owen

do make say think

ted leo and the pharmacists

songs: ohia

explosions in the sky

the mars volta

minus the bear

wilco

amanda woodward

sufjan stevens

Well I'm not exactly sure how he used it himself... seems that's something else to put into the "weird online searches" folder so I can later find out :)

 

Chainsaw on speed, eh? Whacked :)

Yea he used it a lot in the Tin Machine days. He had the vibrator on his mic stand just like his guitar picks. LOL! Anyway he used it just like a slide guitarist uses the metal tube (not sure what it

You like happy music, I take it?

 

lol...have to balance out my inner happiness :( I find the happier I am the darker the music is that I listen to...strange if you ask me :ph34r:

I listen to really angsty stuff, but it's usually grunge-angst, or some light industrial like A Perfect Circle and Tool. I don't really get into metal, and 80% of the bands you mentioned I've never listened to. I can only assume given the context of those bands that I've heard.

Just to list a few...

 

Our Lady Peace

Tragically Hip

Matthew Good Band

Sarah McLachlan

A Perfect Circle

Tool

Evanescence

Kidney Theives

Portishead

Sneaker Pimps

VAC

VAST

VNV Nation

Korn

David Bowie

Bush

Black Eyed Peas

Anchondo (Local band)

Grasshopper Takeover (Local band)

Pomeroy (Regional/local band)

Proud purveyor, owner and operator of the Wonder Twins

Matthew Good Band
Did you mean Dave Matthews Band?

 

Anchondo (Local band)

Grasshopper Takeover (Local band)

Pomeroy (Regional/local band)

Those are seriously REALLY good bands. Check out their websites.

No, Matthew Good Band is a Canadian band.

 

And I can't believe I forgot to put Dave Matthews Band on my list. :unsure:

Proud purveyor, owner and operator of the Wonder Twins

All that Canuck music. It's infecting the world.

 

I've never forgive Canada for Loverboy, or William Shatner.

Hey, at least I didn't list Anne Murray *shudders*

 

With the topic on Canuck music, I should add Jann Arden to my list. She's my 4th cousin! :D

Proud purveyor, owner and operator of the Wonder Twins

Wierd Al is good music, i like to laugh, and our Aussie version of wierd al - Tripod are good too you can download their songs from the usual sources as I doubt they are going international

 

For Real i like

 

Evanescence

Jet

Avril

Green day

Robbie Williams

probably more but can't think now

 

and some soundtracks to movies

Hey, at least I didn't list Anne Murray *shudders*

 

With the topic on Canuck music, I should add Jann Arden to my list. She's my 4th cousin! :D

And don't forget to leave out Guess Who/ Burton Cummings/Randy Bachman.

There are some cool canuck bands out there, though, Sloan can rock occasionally although most of their songs sound kinda the same. I think my fave Canadian band was the Grapes of Wrath.

i got to see The Guess Who live when i worked as a bartender at the big kahuna in st. louis. it was our last day as a matter of fact. labor day weekend (sunday) in 1993 and they played outside on a coupla flatbed trailers. we knew the bar was closing but didn't care. it was a great concert, made a ton of money and had a blast that night... they really did put on a great show.

 

taks

comrade taks... just because.

I guess I should not be so cruel. I haven't seen them live, but I really can't stand 'these eyes' . I used to detest Pete Yorns 'life on a chain' until I heard him play it live, and now he's one of my favorite artists. The guess who just bring up bad memories of being stuck watching anne murray christmas specials (tonight, anne welcomes elvis stojko, the guess who, and zappacosta) and wishing I was old enough to change the channel and not get yelled at.
