[QUOTE=Nate22]I am burning a CD with different songs on it for a book project for school. I read a murder mystery type of book, so any songs that are kind of mysterious sounding, gloomy, scary, or anything you think would fit with it. Needs to be appropriate to give to my teacher though.

Thanks[/QUOTE]
Run through a lot of Middle-Late Radiohead. Tracks like "Pyramid Song", "How to Disappear Completely" can be rather creepy, and tracks like "Climbing up the Walls" is downright scary. I don't know if any of this is what you're looking for.

Oh, and look up a lot of Classical and Modern Classical music. Impressionist era Classical would probably have something of what you're looking for - just read the title, and the piece will probably reflect the mood or scenario suggested by the title.

[QUOTE=hatchedinalab89]Hey i need some help with iron maiden, i tryed to downloading alot of songs, but theyre fakes, so i need to know which cd is best to buy. is rock in rio a live CD that's kind of like a greatest hits CD?[/QUOTE]

You've gotten some bad information under your post.

Live After Death and Rock In Rio are both excellent Live albums.

The best Greatest hits to get is probably Best Of The Best, when it comes to song quantity (it's two discs).

If you want some good old fashioned metal, try Iron Maiden, Killers, Number Of The Beast, Piece Of Mind or Powerslave.

A more melodic version of Maiden is Somewhere In Time, and Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son, which is even more of a departure.

From then on (No Prayer For The Dying, Fear Of The Dark, Virtual XI, or X Factor) they play a more aggressive, simpler version of Maiden's original style, and then return to full glory with Brave New World and Dance Of Death, both of which feature the 'classic' Maiden line-up plus Janick Gers.

Hey, I'm looking for some bands that are like Jane's Addiction or any band with a good singer.

Bartender 03-18-2005 10:52 AM

Check out Porno For Pyros (Perry Farrell's project after Jane's), if you haven't already. They have two albums, both of which are good, but not amazing. Worth checking out if you're a Jane's fan though.

Other than that, check out both boyhitscar and Anyone's self-titled albums. Both rather Jane's-like in certain ways. I can upload some tracks for you to check out, if you'd like.

Jacaranda 03-18-2005 05:02 PM

Sure that'd be great. I love P4P already!

Bartender 03-18-2005 05:51 PM

Okay, here's a few tracks uploaded;

[url=http://s19.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0GWTHMTEUOGD40RZ7ETWLLKRFO]Porno for Pyros - Tahitian Moon[/url]

First, a couple of tracks actually involving Perry Farrell. This is his post-Jane's project, Porno for Pyros. I never really got into them that much (despite loving Jane's), but I have both of their albums anyway. These two tracks are both from their second album, [i]Good God's Urge[/i], which is somewhat better than the first, self-titled one.

[url=http://s19.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3FO1HDA6XOUPN1UUM6OJBM3MCF]boyhitscar - As I watch the Sun F*ck the Ocean[/url]

boyhitscar are a kind of alt. rock band. They only have one album that I know of, their self-titled one, from which both of these tracks come; after that, they've been having troubles with bassists and drummers I think, so they haven't been able to record a follow-up. Anyway, I always associate them very closely with Jane's Addiction. The shout of "three, four!" at the start of As I Watch the Sun Fu[font=verdana]c[/font]k the Ocean might as well be a Perry Farrell sample, but the vocalist doesn't often imitate him.

[url=http://s19.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=10BYOEYPTUODV3V3WY9U60LG1V]Anyone - Don't Wake Me[/url]
[url=http://s19.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=24YECI85A4XEC1S359B4DLW5XK]Anyone - Kissing God[/url]

These last two tracks are by Anyone. They're a much more obviously "psychedelic" band - they used to hold huge free concerts, with free drugs for all who came, in big warehouses - and occasionally they sound a little gimmicky, but there's some good stuff on their album, which again is self-titled. I think it's their only release, apart from a self-released live album from the warehouse drug-festival days, which I don't have.

Hope you like something here, and I hope someone else downloads them too, so all this doesn't go to waste.

wrongnote85 03-18-2005 05:58 PM

anyone who likes classic rock and/or metal should check out the band Angel Witch. cited by members of both Metallica and Megadeth as a big influence. plus i think they're fu_king cool.

Jacaranda 03-18-2005 06:22 PM

Hey thanks I checked out Anyone so far "Kissing God" Only played for about 10 secounds till it looped.

Wow great song, "Dont Wake Me" I'll have to check out their CD. Very poppy-ish sounding song or at least the Chorus is. Yet dancable like Janes Addiction.
I like all the bands P4P is a very slower and more mature JA. Thanks for the good bands.

Zion Gates 03-18-2005 06:55 PM

Are you looking for bands that are heavy on bass?

Dude3 03-18-2005 10:36 PM

Okay, I need a few recommendations.
First, what do you think is the best Death Cd? I'm leaning towards Human, but I'm not sure yet.

Next, what Testament Cd would you guys recommend?

Also, what Dream Theater Cd would you recommend?

And Lastly, what Opeth Cd would you recommend? I already have Blackwater Park, and I love it.

Huber 03-19-2005 10:24 PM

Songs to download from Tool...

Well, the more rockish songs are:
Stinkfist
Sober
Parabol/Parabola

For something heavy, download Ticks and Leeches

For just straight Tool greatness:
Lateralus
Third Eye
Forty Six and Two
Eulogy
Push it
The Grudge


It's hard to think of a bad Tool song. Those lists are definetly incomplete. Your almost safe downloading anything.

[QUOTE=Dude3]Okay, I need a few recommendations.

I'd recommend Human as well.

[quote]Also, what Dream Theater Cd would you recommend?[/quote]
Scenes from a Memory

[quote]And Lastly, what Opeth Cd would you recommend? I already have Blackwater Park, and I love it.[/QUOTE]
Still Life should do you good.

The Legacy

Jom 03-19-2005 11:16 PM

[QUOTE=Dude3]What Dream Theater Cd would you recommend?[/QUOTE]

For heavier stuff, go with "Train of Thought" or "Awake."

For lighter stuff than the above albums, I enthusiastically recommend "Scenes From a Memory," and "Images and Words."

I can send them your way so you can try 'em before you buy 'em :)

Just let me know through this thread.

I don't know a lot of Genesis, but I know Cinema Show rocks my world.

shadow_stalker 03-21-2005 07:50 AM

I don't suppose anyone can help me find his band...

I think their name is something along the lines of long-time dead and they play thrash metal kind of music. :confused:


If anyone could help that would be great, thanks.
