rich77 Posted September 28, 2007 What music does everybody like here? I like metal. My fav bands are Rammstein, Soundgarden, Audioslave and Emigrate. I also play guitar. 0 Share this post Link to post
Stealthy Ivan Posted September 28, 2007 Heh, I wish I had a dollar for every one of these "music" post's I have seen! Black/death metal... What else would a true doomer listen to...? :P BTW rich, do you map, guitar does not help much here (unless you some how record your own doom music). :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Texas Libra Posted September 28, 2007 Stealthy Ivan said:Black/death metal... What else would a true doomer listen to...? :P My own personal opinions on that particular genre of "music" aside, I myself am more of an industrial/EBM/synth guy. OK, maybe I will say something about black/death metal...since when did being a fan of DOOM automatically mean you're a metalhead? 0 Share this post Link to post
Stealthy Ivan Posted September 28, 2007 Metal and doom just seem to go hand and hand. Even though other music can fit Doom perfectly fine. It also depends on the level... 0 Share this post Link to post
rich77 Posted September 28, 2007 I'm new to the world of forums, but have been a fan of doom for years, so my first thread isn't gonna be original or the best is it. I mentioned playing guitar so it's something to chat about, I wasn't bragging, I'm quite shit, but I just wanted to mention it. And I'm glad that their are alot of doom fans that like metal. Can't stand pop or dance. Oh yeah, I have doom builder so I like to make maps, but I'm no good. 0 Share this post Link to post
Remilia Scarlet Posted September 28, 2007 I pretty much like anything, including rap and country. EBM/Futurepop, older heavy metal like Iron Maiden or Judas Priest, techno/trance, JPop, JRock, "classical"...those are the styles that I tend to listen to the most. If you were to get into my car at any given moment, you'd have a 90%-95% chance of hearing VNV Nation or Judas Priest coming out of the speakers. 0 Share this post Link to post

And Neko Mimi Mode*. =^.^= *utube 0 Share this post Link to post
rich77 Posted September 28, 2007 You like Rammstein? Bloody awesome band. I saw them live in Cardiff 2 years ago. Compared to alot of today's bands, they stand out as unique. And I like abit of classic, love Abba music, sweet, good glam rock 70's band that my mother met. Actually I do like quite abit of 80's pop, like Gary Numan, but not today's over rated manufactured rubbish. 0 Share this post Link to post
Vile Posted September 28, 2007 There's not much music that I don't like, though the genre I pursue most often is metal. The music I hate the most, on the other hand, is usually very specific (I'm looking at you, James Blunt, Hinder, Nickelback, etc. for making songs that makes me want to turn off the radio but the rest of the people in the car want to sing along to... god damn). 0 Share this post Link to post
YMB Posted September 28, 2007 They Might Be Giants, Weezer, The Residents, Beck I hate country music. 0 Share this post Link to post

Sharessa Posted September 29, 2007 I listen to pretty much anything that sounds good, I don't pay much mind to genres anymore. The only genre I universally can't stand is new country (as opposed to folk/bluegrass). I also don't have much of a liking for rap or metal, but in each I find some great exceptions. Recently I've mostly been listening to jazz fusion, psychadelia, blues, and some symphonic stuff. I should probably just list all my favorite bands: The Legendary Pink Dots (my absolute favorite) The Tear Garden Frank Zappa The Beatles Steely Dan Gary Numan ohGr Vangelis Cake Soundgarden Type O Negative Skinny Puppy David Bowie Black Sabbath Nine Inch Nails Jethro Tull The Moody Blues Alice in Chains Temple of the Dog Monster Magnet Ludwig van Beethoven Radiohead Pink Floyd Those are my big-time favorites. I also dig The Who, Jimi Hednrix, Simon and Garfunkel, The Velvet Underground, Nirvana, Depeche Mode, Devo, Marilyn Manson, KMFDM, Pop Will Eat Itself, Coil, Download, A Perfect Circle, Tool, Dire Straits, Failure, Led Zeppelin, Wendy Carlos, Santana, The Sex Pistols, The Rolling Stones, and The Soft Machine too, in a more casual manner. Can you tell I love music? Check this out as well. Sadly I don't play any instrument, but I'd love to learn piano (know a little), sax, hand drum, or guitar. 0 Share this post Link to post

printz Posted September 29, 2007 rich77 said:I also play guitar. Well if you're into Doom hobby you can record some MP3s and use it in wads for MP3/OGG supporting ports like Eternity or ZDoom. Like listening to music made by instruments not computer effects. I like music with good melody-rythm-instrument-voice balance. I hate coughy, copied, unfinished, repetitive melodies made with silly boring run of the mill lyrics, because only lyrics are taken care of by simple ears. This applies to any genre. I won't name bands, though. 0 Share this post Link to post
Enjay Posted September 29, 2007 Danarchy said:I listen to pretty much anything that sounds good, I don't pay much mind to genres anymore. Quite right too. Disliking, or liking, something just because it is of a certain genre is an indication immaturity and a closed and bigoted mind. If you like it, then listen to it. If you don't, then don't. Who gives a shit what someone had pigeon-holed the music as? Why cut yourself off from something you might like just because someone says its "music type X"? Personally, I too have a very wide range of musical tastes - and I always have had. I'll give anything a go and, if I like what I hear, I'll keep listening. What I have noticed is that the songs which are generally regarded as good, as a cut above the rest, usually do have something about them that makes them good and makes them worth listening to, regardless of what genre they are apparently in. Even an artist who usually makes music that I find quite awful can, occasionally, pull a gem out of somewhere and I will quite happily listen to it. As for the supposed link between Doom and metal: I think that's as much of a comment on the kind of people commonly playing Doom as the kind of music that actually goes with the game. There are a lot of "metalheads" playing Doom and, naturally, they will enjoy hearing metal as they blow away hellspawn. 0 Share this post Link to post

Yeah, personally I've always thought the best Doom soundtracks were Pretty Hate Machine, by NIN and Egodram by Das Ich, both of which would be categorized as industrial. yomoneyboat said:Holy everloving shit, how many gigs is that collection taking up?
