this videos from our performance at the Whittlesea Show, playing our first original song.

what i mean is how eventually a genre is unrecognisable to what it started as.

the best examples of this are:

look at R&B, it's an extension of blues but these days it's just auto-tuned pop garbage

and Hardcore, it's originated from the punk scene with bands like minor threat, now it means any generic modern metal band

looking for true brutal/technical deathmetal not that bitchy "Br00tAl" deathcore.

I like stuff like:

Insidious Torture

Fractured Insanity

Necrophagist

Abigail Williams

Ion Dissonance

the ones that come to mid instantly for me are:

Mayhem

Rammstein

cannibal corpse

cradle of filth

what do you think, any genres, just bands that have shocked everyone lol

hey i'm not looking for that shallow top 40 kanye west, lil wayne bullshit

i want hip hop/rap acts with real talent, meaning: lyrics that are about more than sex/guns/money, more than just a shitty garage band beat in the background (ie. actual music), and NO auto-tune.

hip hop i like so far is stuff like:

hilltop hoods

hybrid theory (linkin park before they were called linkin park, was alot more hip hop based then their current stuff)

i'm currently looking up fort minor, grips and tonic and louise knuxx so dont suggest them

thanks in advance

looking for sad songs, here are mine:

blasphemous rumours - depeche mode

hurt - johnny cash (cover of the nine inch nails song)

no saving me - walls of jericho

white sparrows - billy talent

minerva - deftones

please, please, please let me get what i want - the smiths

taken a while ago, tell me what you think

i'm trying out for (melbourne band) a fallen theory, what do you think my chances are?

does anyone know who directed it? i really need to see more stuff by that directer...

50 free internets for whoever can tell me!

i am personally a fan of most musical genres (not of mainstream or "manufactured" stuff though)

though i am very partial to hardcore and deathmetal i am one of the first to admit that it is an acquired taste. what i can not understand is how people can dismiss it as "real music" so quickly and openly hate it while expecting fans of metal to listen to their taste of music with out compliant.

BQ: what band/artist would you suggest to someone asking for "real music"? for me it would be orbs (beautiful prog with amazing melodies)

are there any black eyed peas songs that don't just repeat the same thing over and over.

their latest single "i'm a bee" is defiantly the worst offender but all their other crap aswell like shut up and lets get it started in here.

amazing vid, amazing musicians :)

from these sub-genres:

black metal:

death metal:

mathcore:

hardcore:

deathcore:

prog/experimental:

classic:

for me it would be:

black metal: abigail williams (not that brutal but definitely the best)

death metal: whitechapel (pretty predictable answer but they own so, meh)

mathcore: jack the stripper (local aussie band, definitely worth checking out)

hardcore: walls of jericho (thats real hardcore there)

deathcore: here comes the kraken

prog/experimental: rolo tomassi

classic: anvil

\m/

for me it would be Eleventh He Reaches London. they're a prog band from australia and they are absolutely amazing. their being underrated is partly there fault though because even they themselves admit they're terrible at promoting themselves haha.

BQ: best band that you don't think many other people would like?

mines Rolo Tomassi, they're an english experimental hardcore band, that use a lot of extremely fast/complicated synth melodies and sometimes verge on a noise band.

they get great reviews but the public doesn't seem to pay any attention to them.

today i was in jb-hifi and was discussed to see, side by side, a deftones album (i think it was saturday night wrists but cant remember properly) next to, of all things! ew ...justin beiber

does this disgust you as much as me?

alright basically i've noticed that since the early '90s chart music has gone downhill, fast.

in the '70s and '80s we were getting stuff like led zep and depeche mode in the charts and in the early '90s we had nirvana. since the however we have gone from the horrible pop era of the late '90s with crap like the spice girls and Brittany spears to the early '00s poser punk with bands like good charlotte, and if that wasn't enough we were then attacked by fall out boy and my chemical romance followed by more Disney sell-outs with jonas brothers and Miley cyrus.

i thought this new decade would bring the return of decent music but instead we now have justin beiber clogging our airwaves, all reminds me why i stopped listening to the radio...

your opinions/explanations of this disgrace to music?

just interested to know who people think have the most intelligent lyrics, for me it's:

molotov solution (very political lyrics)

orbs (story songs with great imagery)

between the buried and me (often cryptic lyrics)

house vs. hurricane (lyrics about making yourself a better person)

system of a down (often weird but still genius)

seriously solja boy and crunk in total are just an insult to music.

how could anyone honestly like it?
