I just bought Butch Walker's album Letters. It's really good. I was expecting alot more like deeply ironic punk rock kinda stuff like his other album, or the Marvelous 3 stuff, but I must say, I was surprised. Still good though. The way he works a piano into even the crazier rock songs is really interesting.

I disagree with it being industrial. I see Rammstein, Lacuna Coil, Type-o Negative (yuk!), Nine Inch Nails, etc. being Industrial. I see VAC as just hardcore...um ...techno.

 

Did you ever actually LISTEN to Fun With Knives? If that's techno, i'm Ethyl Merman. :rolleyes:

Depends on how the music is produced. I wouldn't go so far to say that music which is actually played on "the classical" instruments is techno.

 

On the other hand, I wouldn't say that music made with a drumcomputer and a sampler plus whatever is necessarily techno nor is it categorized as electronic music just because of that.

You HAVE to admit there is nothing sexier than a woman that loves the same music I do! She's pretty hawt too! :D

I like 'em both. Alot. But I disagree. As far as "better" from a technical standpoint, CC can outplay anything SFU's ever done. But SFU writes more accesable catchy tunes for sure.

I tend not to base my musical opinion on how good the instrument players are. It's basically just my "type" of thing. I just prefer the slow, poundy death metal as opposed of SFU to the super-fast death metal of CC. But then again, I'm not the biggest death metal fan anyway, so don't take my word on it.

 

I've always thought construction to be more important than intracacy. Same reason I think Dimmu Borgir could kick Cradle of Filth's ass any day of the week.

Again with the subcatagory speech! I am really not educated in this department. I just know that whatever sub-sub-subcatagory they fall into, the broad catagory is Techno or Electronica or whatever the hell you want to call it.

I hear you completely on that. I agree too. That's why I said SFU write catchier more accesable songs. It's not as "shred you face off" as CC. They're definately a good death metal-ish band.

That reminds me of a hillarious article I recently read.

 

Metal: Okay, we know what this one is. This is where guys with long hair wail like tone-deaf banshees and play jerk-off guitar solos for arenas full of sleazy heshers with flimsy mustaches, dragon t-shirts, and 14-year-old girlfriends. I thought it died out in the late Eighties, but I guess some sorry souls are still clinging to its corpse.

 

Black Metal and Death Metal: This is that awful tomfoolery with the big pretentious song structures and “BWAAARGHHH” vocals and Scandinavian guys who burn down orphanages and eat each others’ brains, right? The best part of this stuff is the band names, which sound like ten-year-olds trying to name their secret no-girls-allowed clubs.

 

Brutal Death Metal: I assume this is like death metal but with slightly more intense band names. Like, for example, instead of a pedestrian death metal name like “Festering Corpse,” maybe a brutal death metal band would be called “Grotesque Festering Corpse.”

 

[80’s] Hair Metal: Shh, we’re trying to forget.

 

Fantasy Metal: Well, all metal fans play Dungeons and Dragons and read ****ty fantasy novels. That’s just a given. But some of them are so nerdy that they can’t even enjoy their metal without explicit references to elves and swords and dragon-slaying. Hence this crap.

 

Fantasy Death Metal: Same as above, I’d imagine, but probably deals with mercilessly slaughtering elves for Satan.

 

Metalcore: Adding “core” to the end of a type of music is functionally the same as adding “for morons in white belts.” So, take all the awfulness of hardcore and add some bitchin’ guitar riffs. Or, alternatively, take metal and remove anything that might be mistaken for music.

 

Grind: How does one even go about distinguishing a good grind band from a bad one? I posit that it’s impossible, and I don’t think I can be proven wrong.

 

Light Metal: I’ve never heard of it. Is it like light rock? Is it metal for sissies? Somewhere out there is there the metal equivalent of Christopher Cross? “When you get caught between the moon and Satan’s fiery maw…”

 

Heaby Metal: What the **** does “heaby” mean? Is this heavy metal for guys with sinus problems?

 

Rap Metal: I’d say that rap metal is music for stupid people, but that’s not really fair. Everyone who listens to rap metal is stupid, but not all stupid people listen to rap metal.

 

Rap-Black-Metal: Rap metal with creepy Scandinavian guys?

 

Rap-Death-Black-Nu-Metalcore: Rap metal with creepy Scandanavian guys and scarier names and white belts?

 

Pop-Punk: The opposite of punk.

 

Nu-Metal: The opposite of… music.

 

Goth Metal: Stay away from this stuff, kids, it’s bad news and you don’t need it (writing that gives me credit toward my state-mandated community service hours).

 

Whatever The **** The Cure Is: I already did post-punk, but I guess later The Cure turned into sort of a warbling sad-sack goth-pop band. So, uh, am I telling you about warbling sad-sack goth-pop? It’s sort of like what the Cure does.

If that's funny, listen to this.

This is the story of the dude was saying above:

There once were a black metal band named Morbid, the vocal "DEAD"(Per Ohlin Yngve) invented the black metal voice and "corpse paint"(plus he was a very big EVIL DEAD fan, like me, and most of his lyrics were based on the movie and the fact that he wasn't of this world).

He joined the a band called Mayhem.

One day Dead bought a knife(he wanted to kill himself) and showed Hellhammer the knife and he said:"Yeah, so?".

Sooo Dead put on his "I <3 Transilvania" shirt and cut his veins with the knife, then he wiped the knife clean and took Euronymus'(guitar) sawed-off shotgun and blew his brains out, then Euronymus took some pices of brain and cooked them(Hellhammer blew chunks) and ate. Then he picked up some skull pieces and made a necklace, then he called (I can't remember who) on the phone and said:"Dead went home." and the guy on the phone said:"What? He went back to Switzerland?" then Euronymus said:"No, he went home..."

Dead left a goodbye note:"Please excuse the blood."

 

 

P.S. Euronymus was later killed by a band member from Burzum.
