Ya. A lot of the same posters are still here I guess. I miss having all the band threads tho. The Tool and Dream Theater threads used to be good. It used to be just pages of band threads.

music phases for me:
rap and punx when i was little (mostly old hardcore) because older siblings
middle school - embarrassing nu metal phase + a few local emo, metalcore, and hardcore bands + some thrash (metallica, megadeth, slayer, anthrax, lol) + thursday + taking back sunday + something corporate and that ilk
high school - realized how much i love hardcore and emo, discovered death metal, got really into metalcore, discovered black metal etc.

and i've just been refining those tastes since i guess

they're still around, just buried. you can still post in them. people are more into black metal and doom now it seems though

hardcore influenced death metal

when i first got into punk i liked mostly 77 punk bands i guess. then that evolved into the sub genres like crack rock steady and now i've been getting more and more into hardcore

I got really into Classic rock in my Freshman year. About a year after I started liking more metal and got into like Tool and Opeth and the whole prog thing and then have branched out from there. Grunge,Thrash, I have a friend who likes 80's music that I just can't get into but some of it is good. I like Van Halen some.

i remember when all the classic rock fags got buttmad about there being too many metal threads here like 5 years ago

I mostly listened to classic rock and shit like that in middle school, high school started and I got more into classic metal like Sabbath and Maiden and then just kinda continued with like Opeth and melo death until I got Bergtatt by Ulver and pretty much went crazy on black and death metal. Started listening to like neofolk and shit because I liked the folky parts in a lot of metal songs and then ambient and whatnot. Mostly just been refining those tastes ever since.

in junior and senior year of high school i always listened to leftover crack, choking victim and against me. i was so disappointed when against me signed to a major label and became a generic rock band

my metal phase was mostly maiden, slayer, megadeth and a few others

and yeah like everyone else said i've just been refining my tastes the past few years

yeah, that was pretty disappoint.

high school i pretty much exclusively listened to through the eyes of the dead, in flames, underoath, and orchid. (exaggeration, but those four bands were listened to gratuitously).

i feel like hardcore is the best punk, even though modern stuff isn't very punk at all

but yeah

THose fags were a part of my musical education! haha. jk. but ya. I think that's what I miss here. Diversity. I mostly listen to metal anyway now so who cares.

6/7th grade: classic rock
8th grade: nu-metal, entry-level metal
9th/10th grade: black/death/thrash metal, started getting into some punk too
11th grade: got into indie, backpack rap, and post-punk, stopped listening to metal for the most part
12th grade: discovered skramz
college: started listening to a wider variety of rap and got back into metal

i really like the smiths, they're great.

the smiths are one of my favorite bands of all time

was absolutely obsessed with them in 11th-12th grade, and i still love them

elementary school - whatever my bro/sis listened to, then started listening to classic rock and the ramones around 6th grade
middle school - old punk, classic rock, metallica, rap, and then all kinds of stuff
high school - xtreme metal, all kinds of electronic, stupid pretentious shit, etc.

I really lucked out w/ my local scene on the skramz thing. Exposed to greatness when I was young and impressionable.

Still bump Harrison Bergeron way too often.

-> nu metal
-> bad metalcore/post-hardcore
-> better metalcore/post-hardcore
-> skramz
-> punx
-> black metal
-> now

numetal
metalcore
deathcore
tech/melo death
brutal death

pretty much I have the standard maturity

I watched part of this movie called Sid and Nancy the other day. It was kinda cool. I used to hang out with a bunch of punk kids. I couldn't stand them tho. Anytime I tried to hang out with one they brought like 5 friends and they all had skateboards.

charlotte has a shitty music scene

only good shows i went to were

against me
bela fleck and the flecktones
rancid (yeah i still like rancid i'll admit that)
leftover crack

blockhead have you read saint morrissey by mark simpson

Between The Buried And Me and Prayer For Cleansing are from Charlotte, that's all I know about that scene.

Tennessee has produced 10 Years, Yo Gotti. Think that's about it.

one day you'll realize that real metalcore and oldschool death metal are the best forms of metal

Seattle has a real tight knit metal scene, I was at a party last weekend with a bunch of people from the scene who've been around for a long time, it was cool to chat them up and stuff.

there were a lot of kids that thought they were punks in sc but they were all just fashion punks. they were just immature kids with skateboards and mohawks. that's not what punk is about, it's not the way you dress it's just a way of thinking. the dead kennedys said it best "punk ain't no religous cult, punk means thinkin for yourself" that's all it means and that's all it's ever meant.

Whitechapel, Rifles At Recess, Fingers Crossed.

his hero is gone
from ashes rise

music scene here is non-existent

completely, totally non-existent, there is absolutely fuck all for bands here

It's intimidating trying to branch out into Death metal. There are so many damn bands. Think I have gotten to most of the basics. That's my next musical frontier I think.
