Your favorite band...

Fuck that shit. Next time I see you Tom, I'm bitch-slapping you for lumping 3STM in with waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffless like Fall Out Boy and MCR. :hitler:

30 Seconds To Mars first album was fucking AMAZING. Granted, their new album might be a little emo-ish, but they're still a great band.

I agree 100%, those bands are nothing near the talent of 30STM


the first album was almost entirely done by Jared Leto himself (not a well known fact) the guitarist and bass listed on sites like wikipedia joined up later on. I think Jared Leto is extremely talented, his vocal range is insane.

And based on my last statement, I'd like to add these to the list:

Snapcase - Strife - Earth Crisis - Cast Iron Hike - Darkest Hour - The Dillinger Escape Plan - Fugazi - Himsa - Warzone - Cause for Alarm - 88 Fingers Louie - Sick of it All

[87-325ic]

Fugazi

i like it but especially the instrument album.

[AppState325]

Fugazi is good.


the punk movement is def. dead though, "good" music came out of it. What I think is cool about the punk movement was that the artists weren't required to be "good". It was supposed to be music of the common man, more about the art than music.

[Massive Lee]

I will listen to any influential band, most of them coming from the seventies (and I am not speaking about hippies and thick smoke). Anything after is just based on this period.

In the early 1970s, Kraftwerk literally invented electronic music with a beat. Afrika Bambaata copied them and created "Planet Rock" an integral copy of Kraftwerk's Trans Europe Express. Guess who started Hip Hop and all the B movement? Last Poets started rappin' in the very early seventies ("In God we trust"). George Clinton's Parliament and Funkadelic were also the base for today's funk.

The American Iggy Pop and the Stooges, as well as NewYork Dolls precluded the British punk movement on which was based the Grunge era and whatever followed. Nothing new came since 1977 in rock music.

When I hear today's music, I can easily tell it is another version of old music. Nothing gets created, nothing gets lost...

[marakka]

Nothing new since 1977? Thats a bold statement..... I mean you can always compare apples to apples....

fugazi live sucks!!! "stop pitting you are hurting the people up front that are trying to watch the show" from ian mckay. "shut the fuck up and play" from me as i throw my beer bottle @ him and miss and hit the guitarist insted. i was never so disappointed in my life! from minor threat to that wtf :hitler:. excellent on cd though!
i am impressed mr anderson....warzone, ahhh raybeez RIP. what about agnostic front (victuim in pain/cause for alarm)? gang green, the meatmen, murphy's law,the first DRI tape (ha ha), the first C.O.C, iron cross, dr know, JFA, skrewdriver (racist, but still great). i gotta look at my cd's and see what i can add to the ols school punk list.

God, I remember when hardcore meant something...

[der affe]

at least i'm not the only "oldish" guy on this fourm that remembers old hardcore, when the bands used to come and hang out with you before their set.
you like/remember THE BUSINESS. went line dancing with mickey fitz and steve at rocken' rodeo a long time ago when they were staying at my friends house after the show. that was kinda image shattering to see the singer and guitarist of a hardcore OI band dancing in a line to american country.

Fuckin' A. I remember when I was in high school, and Earth Crisis played here. My friend Nick and I were down there 3 hours before the show started, just waiting in the back to meet Karl Beuchner. When they showed up, they hung out with us behind the venue for like an hour, just talking about all kinds of random shit. They did a shout out to us before they closed the show with "Ecocide", too. Greatest day of my life (at the time). :D

[der affe]

funny emo thing too, the whole emo bangs in the eye thing started around 85, it was called the skater flop. my old 23 y/o roommate saw some pic's of me in HS and told me i had emo hair. ahhhhhhhhhhh

just to deviate from the standard rock/goth/punk genre that everyone in the 18-24 bracket seems to like...

[Mtriple]

Far and away..... Tool.

Best show I've ever seen in my life both sober and drugged. I was supposed to see them this Friday in Cincy BUT Mr Gates decided I'd be better off in Iraq than my home so.... VIOLA..... I've got tickets for sale :( Front row too :(

Yup, and I'm sorry to hear that you will miss it. Once again they reaffirmed that they are the best large venue band I have ever seen. The visuals on this tour were unreal, I was sober but I felt like I was stoned...

I snapped a couple of shots with my phone. They took a break at the one hour mark and the four of them just sat on the riser in front of the crowd and chilled. Maynard took a lighter out of his pocket and held the flame in the air. Everyone else in the arena followed.



and laser beamzzzzz!
