First off, I feel like we don't spend enough time here. Either you guys are skipping lunch breaks or bringing your own lunches, but I'm sick of having no one to talk to in the Food Court. That said, I'm going to take the first step and hopefully get the ball rolling. I think everyone likes listening to music so I'll start there. Hopefully I can learn of some awesome bands from you guys and, how knows, maybe you'll like some of my crazy bands. Here goes... I have a pretty broad taste in music. Not too picky. I like anything from Arcitecture in Helsinki and Deerhoof to CHOMEO and Klaxons. Right now my favorite band [in the whole world, as you could probably tell from the mini video in my profile] is POLYSICS, a neu-wave Japanese band, and self proclaimed "Super Band Number 1!" They play anything sounding from pop to punk to rock 'n roll. It gets pretty crazy. They are always in my car and always as loud as it can go. I am actually going all the way to NEW YORK CITY to see them play on October 30th!!! ;D Which reminds me, I need to request a mini vacation for the show. Which one of you gentlemen want to work my shifts at the mall while I'm gone? Hahahahaha. So, boys, what kinds of bands do you all enjoy?

Sounds like you will be having a helluva Halloween here in the States! My musical tastes go from Classical to folk to music to worship Satan to. New favorite CD right now is Symphony X's Paradise Lost. I am a bassist currenly waiting for my band to get moving again. Everyone else has had a year of major personal upheavals, from deaths to divorces, I am the only unscathed one so far. Here is a link to my very un updated myspace music page: profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=89807233

Rock, Metal, hard techno, rave, and some od sounding stuff at times...
Favorite Band - System of a Down. Used to be able to play myself, but broke my hand once so I can't slide my hand down the strings like I used to

My favourite band has to be Metallica, me and a friend (who also used to play UD) went to see them at Wembley in July and it was the best day of my entire life and i can't wait to go again next year if they are at Wembley. I also used to play bass but after i moved house last year just haven't been able to get back into it Although Metallica are my favourite band i love orchestral music, there's a great thing about getting a whole load of instruments to play at the same time and make it sound amazing. I'm also somewhat of an obsessive when it comes to Final Fantasy, i bought a Nintendo DS just so i could play FFIII ;D

Has anybody ever heard of and/or seen Metalacolypse? It's a cartoon on Adult Swim which plays on Cartoon Network after 10:30 pm. The show is about a metal band that is so popular that the government has a secret organization to track the actions of Dethclock (the band that the show is about). If you've never seen it, check it out. I'm sure it's up on YouTube, and they show the newest episode on the Adult Swim homepage.
Well, the band from the cartoon just released an album. It's called The Death Album. It Fuckin' rocks!!! It's some pretty heavy metal, sort of like old Metallica or Megadeth.
I'm not normally into heavy metal; I usually like Linkin Park, Rehab, and some rap. I also really like some old shit, like Pinl Floyd and Led Zeppelin. But right now, I am majorly hooked on Dethclock.

I used to like Metallica until the whole Napster thing. I also saw them live in Hawaii around that time and I was really disappointed with the show. But I still like their old stuff.
Okay, so my music tastes.... I prefer classic rock and alternative/grunge from the mid 90's. I also listen to other stuff, depending on the situation. For example, when I work out/run, there's nothing better to listen to than techno. (Makes you go faster!)

Has anybody ever heard of and/or seen Metalacolypse? It just so happens that, not only do I LOVE Dethklok to death, I also 1. have the first season on DVD. 2. hate Murderface [sorry], especially the gap in his teeth. 3. kind of have a mini crush on Toki, which is really odd because he is an animation. Everything he does it just so awesome, except that time he insisted on hanging out with that clown (Dr. iforgothisname).... That said, does anyone know if we can post any videos in this forum? Sometimes html doesn't work for me. Most of the bands you guys are naming, I have either never listened to, or never really liked. I would, however, love to see some videos of these bands and maybe it'll change my mind. I have never heard anything by Metallica or Led Zeppelin. My friend use to love System of a Down, but I had only heard one song. P.S. I really like techno when I am running also!!

<-- bassist too. My band's not as good as Kormosch's ;D , but we opened for 12 Stones and Adema last weekend. www.myspace.com/bridgewalkerI listen to a pretty wide variety of stuff, though tending mostly to hard rock -- in my car right now are Dream Theater, Linkin Park, Otis Redding, the Donnas, Crossfade, Extreme, and Marvin Gaye.

Metallica at WembleyThe quality isn't really that good visually but audio is fine, gotta love the ending ;D It sounds like something you would play on Guitar Hero. I also checked out you guys myspaces, they were pretty cool. I like listening to new bands. I don't know if any of you guys had a chance to look up some POLYSICS online, if not. Here's you go... This song has one numerous awards across Japan and America. I My Me MineThis one is more DEVO/popish. Electric Surfin' Go Go!<----- from my profile. And a little more rocky. Hard Rock ThunderAND LOTS OF AIR GUITAR... even if you didn't like the other 3, you MUST watch this one.Coelakanth is AndroidOKAY, I'm done, I promise. Enjoy.
