Music and Festivals.

First topic message reminder :

Hey lads :3

To what kind of music do you listen these days? :3
And do you visit some festivals?

I listen to actually all styles of metal ( also core ect. ) and electronic music like Synthpop, Darkwave, Aggrotech and EBM.
Some Hardstyle and DnB now and then.

Each and every year i visit the Amphi festival in Cologne ( and Gamescon but thats a different hobby again ), E-Tropolis, Blackfield, Syndicate, M'era Luna and stuff

So what about you?

Used to listen to a lot of Texas In July when their first album came out. Can't say i'm very into them anymore though.

I LOVE Celldweller!

I dig it a lot. Sounds a lot like Nine Inch Nails. Badass.

And that with all honesty and respect I don't call music , but everyone has its own taste

Oh god please don't be one of those people....

But I am, I don't have to like such music xD

I am with you there yods.

Yeah, no problem with you not liking the music.... with some of the music though, particularly punk and hardcore, if you're not interested in the delivery of the message, look up the lyrics. They are much more thought provoking than people think. Especially bands like Gouge Away and WolfxDown, an anti-fascist Germany band.

The deepness and meaning of the lyrics become kind of meaningless when they're completely inaudible :L

Are Ghandi's messages meaningless to you because you don't speak Indian?

If no, there's always a way to find a translation and get to the subject

Ghandi...when you mentioned it i have to think about this song
Take a look at this masterpiece.
One of my fav bands.

That's entirely different..... but personally I don't want to listen to people screaming their heads off down a microphone

I'll throw in my opinion

This ''Screaming'' also called Shout/growl wich is a very complex and difficult way to ''sing'' is a very beautiful way to express feelings especialy in a context with lyrics and melody.
They are very thoughtful and filled with pure emotions.
If you want to hear what i mean listen to a song from Being As An Ocean.
The band has a different kind of style but yet their message...is just unbelievable.
I'll give you an example with lyrics.
And do me the favour and read/listen to it

Band: Being As An Ocean.
Album: As We Both Wondrously Perish.
Song: Deaths Great Black Wing Scrapes The Air.




Lyrics:

We shout up at the sky
Until our mouths are bloody and dry
Screaming out at a god that seems to be blind
To the suffering of us here below; those pushed aside
Look around and witness the weight of this darkness
I can assure you that ignorance is not bliss
And simply because we’ve adorned our eyes with such arrogance
Does not mean the unspeakable will cease
Wicked men hoarding necessities
While their fellow man die of sickness and disease

Children are still starving
Doubled over in pain from the grumbling
Dying loved ones whither and fade
The person we knew stripped away
(All we love will fade
All we love is stripped away)
Men killing their dearest in a fit of rage
Instead of putting the past behind, turning a new page
Mothers drown their babies in their sleep
As a reprieve ‘cause they don’t know the next time that they’ll eat

We still defile and abuse the innocent
Like items to be sold or owned
Slavery and prostitution is no place for a nine year old
So rage, shed tears out at the angry sky
Let the emotion fall from your eyes
I tell you the truth
YHWH rages with you
He hears your frantic pleas
Believe me when I say, “He is not some distant thing!”
If you’re quiet for a while, you might just hear Him breathe
He’s stood at the bedside of the lowly
Shoulders heaving, His head in His hands
Grieving with a Father’s heart, come to retrieve another wayward lamb

It’s up to us to hold each other’s dignity
Recognize we’ve chosen the wrong enemy
Hate, ignorance, and inhumanity are what we should be battling
Now’s the time for knowledge
Now’s the time for Truth
Humanity has already suffered so much abuse
We must take responsibility, do away with apathy
Unlearn society’s teachings
To be blind and selfish
Because what you must learn
Is that the problem is us

That I don't like too

Well and imo if the lyrics are deep and meaningful, why to destroy them with screaming your head off down a mic?

Yodah.
Because its human.
The heavyest way for a human being to express feelings is to scream them out.
In anger or in pain people scream.
I'ts just a fact that makes this kind of music beautiful ( of course not all types of them...there are bands out there that literally just scream for no reason ).
In my eyes it deserves to be called ''art''.

Don't get me wrong.
I dont want to justify it

Its just my opinion
I see something beautiful in it.
Especialy in the band Being As An Ocean.

I don't want to force you liking my kind of music
It's your opinion and evryone should be okay with that

I like various bands from Slipknot and Godsmack to Oasis, Streetlight Manifesto and Dropkick Murphys. I like a lot of game music and some classical stuff too. Everyone has their tastes in music, everyone dislikes and likes various genres so it's always a personal choice .

I know, I said everyone has its own taste, you like this kind of music, I don't, and world is happy xD. You don't need to like e.g. my music too xD

Duuuude dubstep and metal is my jam

Love love love Streetlight and Dropkick Murphy's. Guys, recommend me Irish punk bands!!!

Not including The Pogues, Flogging Molly

Irish?
Here you go:

The heaviest music I can think of that I have ever listened to is this:



and that's only because I love the instrumentals and the deepness of the vocals about war. most of my family has been army, so I have a respect about what they talk about.

I don't know who keeps de-karma-ing Angel here, but just because he likes different kind of music and posts opinion about it, isn't reason for continuous de-karma-fication. Thus I ++ -ed back every his post here. So im saying now to the person who gave a lot of negative karma to Angel, don't be dekarma-ing someone just because he doesn't like the music you do. Maybe I am wrong in something but this dekarma-ing is wrong in my eyes (disagree with me if you want. I will still stand with this)

Just putting it out there it wasn't me :L

Don't even think of it that it was me xD
It wasn't xD allready told that i respect others musictaste.
I think music is about tollerance and i would totally defeat my opinion if i de karma someone cus of that xD

You quoted the wrong name to the quote lol .

I have never been to a festival but it's on my to do list!
