Ok.... Too much soft stuff here. Are there any death metal fans on here?

Yes

But has to be crafted well

Closest thing to metal I like is Deafheaven.

 

[Unusual Suspect]

So of course my first post in seemingly forever has zip to do with hockey.

Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit all day long. Can hardly find time to listen to anyone else the last couple years.

Define "crafted well". Name some bands.

I’ve never been a fan of the pure death metal like Morbid Angel and Obituary. I was always a fan of thrash like Megadeth and Testament. But when the melodic death metal starting coming around in the mid-late 90s, I got really into that. In Flames before they turned into garbage. Soilwork, who still puts out some good material. At the Gates, Dark Tranquility, Arch Enemy, The Crown, The Haunted etc.

Pretty much beat me to it

I have a few friends who are really into metal, but can't keep up with the sub-categories.

What is Sleep considered? Their new album is great. I can roll with Skeleton Witch too on occasion.

I had a DM fanzine and record label in the 80s. Yeah, I'm old. I was tape trading in the early 80s and one of the first in the scene. I'm friends with pretty much every old school band since it's a pretty small world. I still go to a lot of shows these days and still occasionally write for magazines.

In reply to 1st page sentiment of how we all argue about the Ranvers but might be best friends in life.......well, I literally didn't recognize one group on entire 1st page......except that Merle Haggard reference. Means i would be no ones friend. What else is new. Im a Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin Journey, Boston kind of guy.

Me too. I still feel Led Zeppelin was the best band ever. The concert at MSG in July 1973 when they filmed " Song Remains the Same" was simply incredible.

New Sleep record is dope. Not sure what they'd be classified as.. doom metal? Stoner metal? Haha

My Mom wouldn't let me go. Those were the days. Been dazed and confused ever since.

Just throwing this out there, but my band just released our first full-length and it's up for streaming or name your price (including $0) download on Bandcamp.

It's instrumental post-rock/post-metal, similar to Russian Circles, Pelican, If These Trees Could Talk, etc, but there are definitely harder/faster parts than those bands as well as slower and groovier parts.

Not sure if anyone is into this kind of stuff specifically, but I figure it's worth a shot.

Overlook, by GRID

 

[Desdichado93]

So how many players can you name? I only recognize Håkan Södergren (lead "singer") and Magnus Sigge Svensson

I had no idea that Semisonic had more than one song...

Send me all the 90s/00s alt-rock you have

I've got mountains of 90s/00s alt-rock on my computer, I can put together a pretty decently long list of albums if you're interested. But to keep it to the point right now, I've been listening to this a bunch lately

Stone Roses made one of the best albums of all time then disappeared

that album is incredible, just a god tier pop album

just went to record store and scored big time. they actually had paul simon’s self titled, original, in very good condition. also picked up still crazy. managed to find blood on the tracks as well, though it’s a bit “played”

I love when you find one you've been looking for and it's actually still in great condition. Some stores are really consistent with it I've noticed.

Listening to it right now

It’s not perfect but for a 46 year old record? pretty damn good.

Yeah, most of the time they're plenty good enough from my experience.. My girlfriend's dad is always shocked when I buy one that's less than perfect but a lot of them are just super old, can't expect them to be pristine.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

blood on the tracks sounds better than paul simon paul simon

was expecting it to be the other way around

I heard a story about the Stone Roses where after they blew up from their first record, they went and blew all their money on like, renting mansions and partying and when they went in the record a second record they realized they didn’t have anything at all to record and they just threw together a bunch of stuff and it was just terrible and they broke up

If anyone wants to hear my stuff, here's the link to my soundcloud. I have an EP out, but it's a little raw, IMO. If you're interested take a listen and give me some feedback/criticism. Thanks and enjoy!!

Only listened to a little bit cuz my phone was being gay but your flow/wordplay in Pronto is Kanye-esque (not sure how you feel about Kanye but from me I’d consider that a YUUUUGE compliment)

looking forward to listening in full when i have wifi

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

also: GOAT song? an argument can be made imo
