"Why the Blink 182 Reunion Doesn't Matter"

**Graverunner** · 02-16-09, 09:15 PM

Led Zeppelin is cool, but Sabbath is what I'm about pretty much. Modern music makes me sad, but don't even get me started on modern heavy metal.....it makes me want to rip my own head off every time my friends show me the "Best album cover ever". It's horrible.....they don't even know what metal is anymore...

Black Sabbath was a good band, don't get me wrong, but their music was very simple.
+ Their style was somewhat repetitive, like AC/DC's was.

I like Led Zeppelin & The Who because you can listen to SO many types of music within those two artists.

Tell me the types of metal that you like, and I'll ask my Metal Director what bands he likes that are modern both in terms of their albums and live shows. Maybe we can find you something.

QFT. Thank you.

I'll never understand why someone would listen to crappy overplayed music mixed with commercial advertisements, when they can listen to hundreds of good albums in peace. Do some searching, good music is being made all over the world, every day...

I love old school death metal like Cannibal corpse, Death, Morbid angel and all that. The only bands out there now that I think really do it well are bands like Children of Bodom, Norther, Amon Amarth, and Arch Enemy. All foreign bands...hmmmmm.

a few years ago i saw Blink 182 live... it was horrible.
On a positive note Green Day played as well and was 100X better.

I think even some of the good Southern Metal we get is from Europe.

I'll check with my minion.

those damned Finns and their harmonization.......

**DJ Ms. White** · 02-17-09, 11:08 PM

They're fun though. My music director got tickets like he always does for free to a concert for one of the Southern Metal European bands. The lead singer spoke only broken English (sang it perfectly, mind you), rocked the concert venue, got drunk on stage, and made sure to pass out plenty of beer to his fans in the audience so they could get drunk, too. Freaking music directors get to have all of the fun...my metal one even got to meet the US promoters for Nightwish.

He actually got drunk and cussed out one of the guys for only offering them a tour that would conflict with a big festival in their home country. The promoters boss heard this and also got angry at him for fucking that up.

When Nightwish's latest album came out, the metal director got them all of the plays the band needed on CMJ before their add date. He ended up getting free tickets, a backstage pass, and the right to interview the band including their new lead singer. She was actually changing clothes while they did the interview so he had to sit with his legs crossed apparently. The interview was awesome.
