Great band. Agreed.

[Stocka]

I generally like a lot of bands, and I'm always interested to hear what others like, or listen to, so I could have a rather extensive list, if I were to name them all. Likewise, there are quite a number of 'older' bands, not from my time which I also like (ie: Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Velvet Underground, Lou Reed, etc. etc.).

I tend to think there are bands who you 'like' and then there are bands that you really get into, and almost become 'fanatical' about.

Out of my CD collection, I'd say that I'm an avid fan of the following bands:

Augie March
The Verve
Smashing Pumpkins
Doves
R.E.M.
Radiohead
Joy Division/New Order
Even
Pearl Jam

Ah, I'm still not satisfied with that list! :mad: ;)

[CowboyFromHell]

Pantera.... are we all surprised?? ;)

[Squeak]

Reel Big Fish. You may know something about that Suzi. :eek:

Yeah, okay, it didn't come out properly, but that's life.

Trendy Top 40 music just doesn't sit well with me, and you seemed to name all the bands that signify what I don't like. It's what you like and I respect that. I do like to think I listen to music outside the stuff I normally listen too (Lenny, Ugly Kid Joe, Mellow Acoustic Stuff....), but this sort of music just seems so gay and all the same.

no one can deny that RHCP are the ultimate band. been going for 20 years and have the greatest musical chemistry ever seen. They revolutioned rap rock/punk/funk something lesser bands such as Limp Biskit and co. and emulated but haven't had the same effect.

ROCK ON DEC. 3 Hindmarsh Stadium...I'll be there!

Buy Blood Sugar Sex Magik for the best album of all time! Esp bass players and guitarists but also for drummers!

What exactly do you mean by "gay"? Are you meaning that the band members are "gay", or that the songs promote "gay" ideals?

There are quite a number of widely respected, well-known and popular musicians who are/were possibly gay or bi-sexual (Lou Reed, Kurt Cobain, Michael Stipe, etc.). While I don't share their sexual orientations (or perhaps their outlook on life, which perhaps is somewhat reflected in their music), I'd hardly say that it downgrades their talent, or my liking for their music.

At any rate, to my knowledge the bands in question don't even fall into this category, so to be describing them as "gay" seems a bit strange to me.

Likewise, for someone who comes across as being a fan of metal and very little else, it seems a bit hypocritical that you'd criticise one person for their tastes in music, saying that it's "all the things you don't like", when there are quite a number of people who could say the same about many of the bands that you'd listen to, basically because they fall under the metal genre.

Surely it's just a case of people prefering different styles of music . . . without having a need for one person to seemingly critique another person's tastes.

Maybe Cowboy From Hell was suggesting that the songs were too happy for him.
Although, that was a very good anti-homophobe speech you presented there.

[CowboyFromHell]

I meant gay as in crap, ****....whatever.

I like most tastes in music. I am a huge metal fan, but I also have tastes elsewhere. Just not in that music (Trendy)

And it's a board Stocka. I can post and critique whatever I like, and I'm terribly sorry if you don't agree.

Don't you think BomberGal could say that same thing about your comments?

Originally posted by CowboyFromHell

From recollection, you're the one who stuck your neck out criticising someone else's tastes to begin with, so, if you can't handle criticism in return, then don't dish it out in the first place, pansy.

[CowboyFromHell]

Stocka mate, settle down! I'll go grab the tissues to clear up those tears.

Look, I was merely pointing out that those bands are ones I don't like. She likes them, more power to her. I criticised it yes, but in all honesty, I didn't mean to properly get stuck into her. I was going to say my bit, and leave it at that. Sorry you couldn't see it that way.

Saying Metal is trendy goes to show just how far off the mark you are in this area. When was the last time any Metal band got in a Top 40 because of MTV play, radio play and things like that? Never. Many metal fans would take some offence to the fact you pointed out it was trendy......which reminds me, what bands were you talking about.

Pansy - Nice, Original. Please, go on being immature, does bring a wry smile to the face.

[CowboyFromHell]

P.S - Stocka. With the "pansy" part, you must have it mixed up. I said the MUSIC was "gay", no BomberGal. I think you over step the mark with a personal attack, which in fact in the first place had nothing to do with you, but that's okay. I used "gay" so I didn't use other expletives that would get the * out.

Again, I'm really sorry if it didn't sit well with you. No really, I am....

The point is, you stuck your neck out to have a go at someone else, but didn't like it when someone did it back to you. Those who have been on BF long enough know that if you live by the sword you also die by the sword. If you can't stand the heat . . .

In my opinion, metal IS trendy. Everyday, I see mass marketting of some form of bands such as Tool, Metallica, Soulfly, Korn, Slipknot, etc.

Likewise, doesn't metal have its own radio-slots and specialist shows devoted to it? If so, I certainly think this is enough indication that the genre is trendy, just by the mere fact alone that there is obviously a mass-market out there for it.

By calling you a pansy (and you being upset by it), is just pointing out your hypocrisy in using the term "gay" to begin with. By your OWN definition this just proves that you are immature (by your own stanards). Live by the sword, die by the sword . . .

Originally posted by CowboyFromHell

And "gay" just happened to be the most appropriate word that you could think of? Likewise, the word "gay" is a term that you use to put something down? Says a lot about what you must think of "gay" people then . . . .

[CowboyFromHell]

The bands you put there are hardly metal, bar Soulfly and Slipknot, and you hardly hear them on the radio now do you? And the Metal programs devoted are once a week and on VERY late at night. Hardly at a time when people will be listening most. I mean real metal bands mate. Pantera, Slayer, Morbid Angel and these types, not the stuff mentioned above. I mean, Korn? Yeah, you know just what you are talking about.... :rolleyes:

[Stocka]

By the way "CowboyFromHell", I do have to mention that avatar of yours tends to display quite a homosexual theme. In fact, I'd have to say it looks like he's being rodgered quite rigourously from behind . . .

Then again, you know what they say about 'cowboys' . . .

[CowboyFromHell]

You seem to be the one hung up on the gay part Stocka. Look,
I didn't even give it a second thought. Get over it, it's just a three letter word.

And what's this take the heat stuff?? It's just a messageboard mate, I post here for fun, not for what other people think.

In your opinion. Most people would agree that the bands that I have mentioned would be classified as metal, of one form or another.

Originally posted by CowboyFromHell

The fact that there are specialist radio programs (as well as TV programs on Pay TV), for metal suggests that there is a large enough market out there for the genre to be classified as trendy.

It's surely more trendy than polka dancing, at least.

And you know what you're talking about? I'd say it comes down to a matter of opinion.

Compared to the bands which you say you "hate", the bands which I have mentioned ARE metal, and most would agree.

The point that you are arguing, is based more around what "type" of metal they are, as opposed to whether they are metal to begin with or not. Likewise, whether you consider a band to be a "real" metal band or not, is related more to whether you consider their music to be of any quality, rather than whether it fits the metal genre.

Ever heard of Black Sabbath? I think they were playing metal before Metallica came about.

I'm betting that you are guessing that these bands are copying Metallica because you probably haven't even heard much of the stuff the CFH mentioned, or stuff like Earth Crisis, Downset, Strife, Sodom and DRI......just to name a few.

Yeah, but IMO Metallica can still be counted as pioneers. Modern metal sounds much more like Metallica than Sabbathe, not that I'm an expert either.

They certainly are - Friday October 11 at the Corner. He goes by Charles Jenkins now - I thought Charles was his real name. He manages Gaslight Music in Bourke Street.

Wasn't a big alternative fan in my younger days (I was too mainstream then), but I did see a Mad Turks/Screaming Believers/Garden Path bill one NYE at the Woodmans Inn on Grenfell Street. Good show. Mate of mine was mates with Chuck and Dom out of Mad Turks and Paul Hughes from the Bellies. I must admit by this stage I had gotten into Hoodoo Gurus, Lime Spiders, Huxton Creepers.

So we eventually got you over to the dark side!!!:D

Dave Lokan the guitarist in Garden Path is the brother of Bill Lokan who played league for North Adelaide and Fitzroy!Dave himself played some reserves footy with North and is a top bloke!

I use to go see the Screaming Believers when they were The Shreds at the Union Hotel in the VERY early 1980's(Christ where has my life gone:( )

Yeah, but IMO Metallica can still be counted as pioneers. Modern metal sounds much more like Metallica than Sabbathe, not that I'm an expert either.

Id say their are many more Metal bands around these days which are highly influenced by the likes of Sabbath and even Zeppelin before Metallica.
