The age old topic of PA music

[Silver]

Fags!

[Janus Matchell]

Ok dude. Why are we fags? I'm not sure I understand what hell your talking about. So please by all means clarify yourself please.

[Guest]

YEAH!!!!

hey do you folks like Ministry? They just released a new album like 6 weeks ago and it is pretty bad ass. Just figured you guys would want to know.

I saw an ad for it on the subway. It called it "A throbbing, controversial blend of political industrial thrash metal" or something. Sounded pretty bad to me. I don't like throbbing music, I don't like music that tries to be controversial or political, I don't like industrial music, and I don't like thrash metal - so that pretty much covers all the bases?

[Janus Matchell]

Way to shoot that one down as you blew that the fuck out of the air.
Then again taste is in the mind of the Beholder.

[atoga]

Well, who knows? The main thing to be wary of with me is that, yeah, I like to blow things way the fuck out of the air. You've been warned.

I don't like Ministry except for their first, out of print, entirely New Wave album. If you're into that stuff it's like the best New Wave ever made, but since it's so different than the rest of Ministy's Heavy Industrial crap they've disowned it hardcore.

I was at our local used music store here where I live and I found Ministry - with sympathy for sale for $12 bucks it however was on vinyl though.

[Guest]

Vinyl kicks ass. I'd buy it.

[Franz Schubert]

I might add that he's listed some of the more "mainstream" classical stuff, if there's such a thing.

Yes, I do listen to the more mainstream classical stuff, no doubt about that. Though I've pretty much stopped listening to the classical radio stations anymore; they are mainstream to the max. It's mostly Baroque/Classical with some of the milder pieces from the Romantic and 20th Century eras. I can only listen to a Telemann flute concerto #61 so many times before I start to go crazy. Likewise with Haydn Symphony #107 or some such.

Fortunately I've gotten a good sized collection of CD's, so I never get tired of them.

And I deny all implications about a pseudo-elitism complex. I'm just way smarter and more sophisticated than everyone else.

[Kashluk]

Yeah, right. The fact that only two people on this forum are tr00 metalheads, proves that most of you are plain stupid.

Yeah! Heavy!

[Janus Matchell]

Do any of you folks here like Alice In Chains? Sound Garden? Rage Against The Machine? I recently aquired some from the used CD bin at hasting it is some badass stuff enjoyable badass guitar riffs and cool ass lyrics that I can really dig. I was curious so please if you people could keep me posted that would be great.

[atoga]

I have a few vinyl albums (Foxtrot, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, Physical Graffiti, LZIII, DSOTM, In The Court of The Crimson King, Thick As A Brick). That's about it. And I don't have a record player.

Franz > do you ever listen to anything else?

And where's Iohkus when you need him?

[Retlaw83]

Rage Against The Machine?

There very, very early stuff was good. And their latest stuff was mass-market, corporatized bullshit, despite the fact they pretended it wasn't.

[ExtremeDrinker]

Retlaw, you just described Metallica quite nicely, too. Heh.

[Retlaw83]

Metallica's goal was to always be mass-market. I like quite a bit of their stuff, but they haven't hidden the fact that they love the money.

[Kashluk]

Yes, they do. They smell like capitalists.
But they got good songs, too. My top-5 Metallica favorites are

- Disposable Heroes
- One
- Enter Sandman
- Master of Puppets
- Ride the Lightning

in no particular order.

Tough shit, tough shit. Makes my hair go *twirrrl* every time I hear one of those songs.

[Nicolai]

I liked 'Whiskey in the Jar'

[Kashluk]

Thin Lizzy's version pwns. Not that Metallica's would be much worse... It's just not quite the same. Then again, Misfits' song Die Die my Darling sucks ass, but Metallica's cover of it PWNZ.

[Janus Matchell]

You guys all have a unique taste in music here at the DAC. You all like different hings and thats cool. My hat goes off the Classical and Metalhead crowd though for they both know how to rock in different ways. The industrial people will always that Industrial will always be better though.
