Okay, I have a few requests:
What are some great Steve Vai or Joe Satriani songs?
What are some good classical songs?

Also, I'm wanting to get into some more Death Metal. I love the band Death, because they have great musicians, and awesome vocals. What are some awesome Death Metal bands, that don't have Mono-tone(cannibal corpse) vocals, and are very good?
Thanks

I'm no expert on either, but for Steve Vai, try "For the Love of God".

Athiest and Cynic are for you :thumb:. Mithras as well, although they sound much different than Athiest and Cynic.

I would also suggest Lykathe Aflame, but the vocals are very low, so you may not like it. The plus side to it would be the outstanding musicianship, songwritting and melody.

Vai: For the love of god, the audience is listening, yai yai, the attitude song, erotic nightmare

Classical composers: John Williams, Beethoven, Mozart, Paganini. Typing these names into a P2P program should bring forth their most known/sometimes best songs.

You may also like to check out The Trans-Siberian Orchestra, who incroporate classical elements into rock songs, and Haggard who blend classical music with metal.

[QUOTE=beaNN]fantomas, what sort of music are they? They sound quite interesting.[/QUOTE]

Could only really be called "experimental". Try checking them out though, most of what they've done is good so far.

[QUOTE=Dr Doom]I just got done reading the thread involving metalcore bands and their lack of uniqueness, could anyone recommend some good ones that ARE unique?[/QUOTE]

I'm not really an expert on metalcore but the ones I like are Converge and Posion the well.

Two more things:
What are some good The Mars Volta songs, what CD of them do you reccomend, and what genre would you classify them as?

Also, what would you say is the best Meshuggah Cd? I have "Nothing", and while its good, I've heard that it's crap compared to their others.

[QUOTE=Dude3]Two more things:

They are classed as prog rock but I don't know if I agree with that.

Eriatarka and Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt are two of their best tracks I feel, and De-Loused in the Comatorium is the Stronger album.

can someone recommend me some black metal bands/albums

thanks

Immortal - Sons Of Northern Darkness was the album that got me rolling down the black metal road. Great album. Also try Bathory - Blood Fire Death, Emperor - In The Nightside Eclipse, and Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas.

can someone please recommend to me some albums or songs by SRV and The Allman Bros?

Can anyone recommend some songs that build up to a climax?

Can anyone recommend me some cool, melodic and creative music that isn't overly pretentious and/or tacky?

I like Opeth, Isis, Tool, Porcupine Tree and Soundgarden among other bands.

Well, seeing as you like a lot of prog stuff I'd say check out Symphony X and Dream Theater. Both are progressive, melodic, and show exquisite musicianship.

Yeah, thanks for the recommendation...but that's the thing... I find most of those "prog bands" eg Dream Theater, Symphony X etc to be too pretentious and tacky... Also, I don't like the excessive showmanship.

I like bands like Opeth, Isis, and Tool because they are melodic, creative, and progressive without feeling the need to show off their technical skills. And also, they have some really cool riffs.....

[QUOTE=u2forlife]can someone please recommend to me some albums or songs by SRV and The Allman Bros?[/QUOTE]

for SRV try texas floods, brilliant album

I need some good symphonic black metal.

[QUOTE=jpjrulestheworld]I need some good symphonic black metal.[/QUOTE]
Emperor, and early Dimmu Borgir, is all I've got for you.

[QUOTE=Mind Revolution]can someone recommend me some black metal bands/albums

thanks[/QUOTE]
Get any of these for starts:
Immortal - At The Heart of Winter, or Sons of Northern Darkness
Emperor - Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk, or In the Nightside Eclipse
Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane
Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
DarkThrone - A Blaze in the Northen Sky

Those are good starters, so enjoy. :thumb:

thanks :chug:

[QUOTE=jpjrulestheworld]I need some good symphonic black metal.[/QUOTE]
Emperor
Diabolical Masquerade
Dimmu Borgir
Borknagar
Limbonic Art

The only Death metal band i listen to is opeth.....can some one recommend any other good death metal bands

what are peoples opinions on atreyu, coz i just downloaded lip gloss and black, and i reckon its pretty awsome

[QUOTE=azbassman]The only Death metal band i listen to is opeth.....can some one recommend any other good death metal bands[/QUOTE]
Start out with some Death, Quo Vadis, Gorguts, and Cryptopsy.

You can go deeper into the genre once you listen to some basics.

[QUOTE=azbassman]The only Death metal band i listen to is opeth.....can some one recommend any other good death metal bands[/QUOTE]
I'm not a death metal expert, but try:

Morbid Angel
Obituary
Necrophagist
Death
Psycroptic

I don't think Cryptopsy is for someone looking to get into the genre, as it's not the most accessible thing in the world. I'd recommend Death, Possessed, Vader, Morbid Angel, Arghoslent, and Arsis.

Morbid Angel are always good :)

[QUOTE=LeperAffinity]I don't think Cryptopsy is for someone looking to get into the genre, as it's not the most accessible thing in the world. I'd recommend Death, Possessed, Vader, Morbid Angel, Arghoslent, and Arsis.[/QUOTE]

I was started out on Cryptopsy, Atheist, Cynic and Gorguts, and I like to think I turned out okay.

I actually think Cryptopsy are a good band to introduce people to death metal with; even if they hate the drumming because 'it's all just fast and pointless', you can at least impress upon them just how amazingly fast it is, and even if they dismiss the vocals because 'they're all just stupid growling', you can at least get them to see how impressive Lord Worm is. And that often seems to lead to liking the band later on.

Can someone reccomend me some stuff from Pink Floyd?

also Metallica stuff other than from And justice for all and master of puppets

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]Can anyone recommend some songs that build up to a climax?[/QUOTE]

Anyone?

Staying Alive - Cursive is all that pops to mind right now.

@ ArrestThisMan

Kiilling in the name-ratm has such a great climax

[QUOTE=azbassman]The only Death metal band i listen to is opeth.....can some one recommend any other good death metal bands[/QUOTE]

posessed, if you do research on them and understand my avatar you'll know why.

[QUOTE=Med57]Start off with [i]Dark Side Of The Moon[/i], then get [i]Wish You Were Here[/i]. If you like them, get [i]Animals[/i] and [i]The Wall[/i], and then [i]The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn[/i] and [i]Meddle[/i]. After that, buy them in just about whatever order you feel like, as those are generally regarded as their best albums.



I think [i]Ride The Lightning[/i] and [i]Kill 'Em All[/i] would be thought of by most people as their next two best albums, although some people would say that [i]The Black Album[/i] is as good. Everything after that has been progressively more disappointing, although you might want to pick up [i]S&M[/i].[/QUOTE]

Alright, thanks a lot bro

how about some napalm death recommendations? i'm gonna get something of theirs soon, just don't know what!

Alrighty. I'm going to order a The Mars Volta cd later. I'm planning on getting De-Loused in the Comatorium.
I'm also going to get a Judas Priest album, but my mind is not totally made up yet. I'm choosind between:
Sad Wings Of Destiny
Screaming for Vengeance
and maybe, Painkiller
Any reccomendation would be appreciated.

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]Anyone?[/QUOTE]

[B]Light Of Day, Day Of Darkness[/B] - [U][B]Green Carnation[/B][/U]

Anybody?

Dude, listen to Symphony X, Dream Theater, Kamelot, Angra, Evergrey, Adagio, Nevermore, or Nightwish. They are all awesome. If you pick only one to give a listen to... go w/ Sym X.
