What's your favourite music?

Yes, the Apocalyptica is also Finnish, you´re correct Friedrich!

They started with Metallica songs as orchestral versions.

 

Blues, Jazz and Reggae

 

I am in metal and hard core. I favour european metal bands like Iron Maiden, Sodom, Kreator, Running wild, etc and some pretty good old hardcore like M.O.D., D.R.I., Sick of it all and Pro-pain. Of course, classics like Slayer, Annihilator, older Metallica albums are always welcomed

 

Ath the moment some good old Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush. From heavy rock older Motörhead
( hammersmith live album ) and Metallica.

BTW, just booked tickets for Kratwerk´s show in feb 2004 in Helsinki, and hopefully get tickets next week for Metallica´s Finnish concert in the summer...

 

Oh,it will be a long long list-in classical music from Vivaldi,Bach,Corelli,through Mozart,Bach,Berlioz,Liszt,Sibelius,Mahler,Orff up to Arvo Pärt and Giya Kancheli........in "popular music"Beatles,Pink Floyd,Bob Dylan,Cure,Leftfield,Portishead,Massive Attack,Tricky,Radiohead,Metallica´s early pieces,Bjork,Leonard Cohen....and our slovakian stars like Dezo ursiny,HEX,Chiki-liki-tu-a....

 

Good to hear it Duce! I have a fellow system fan in the forums...
Currently listening to a System cover of Ozzy's "Snowblind" it's pretty good...the bassits is bathing in his own skills.

Amen to that, Sdro! The newer Metallica is nothing short of garbage...we need a slow song! AND STOP SCREAMING, D***IT!

 

Last Friday saw Kraftwerk on their Finnish concert in Helsinki. Actually I was surprised how many "younger" people were there and the whole concert was a sold out.

IT was excellent, as especially golden oldies like " radioactivity", "Autobahn", "Robots" and "Manmachine" were great to listen to. I listened to their music all weekend after that...

ANybody else into Kraftwerk or the Futuristic band back then?

AS well lately I´ve listened to good old Roxy Music and the AValon album espcially (!!??).My favourite song of theirs at the moment is "Love is the drug".

Love is the drug

(ferry/mackay)

T´ain´t no big thing
To wait for the bell to ring
T´ain´t no big thing
The toll of the bell
Aggravated - spare for days
I troll downtown the red light place
Jump up bubble up - what´s in store
Love is the drug and I need to score
Showing out, showing out, hit and run
Boy meets girl where beat goes on
Stitched up tight, can´t shake free
Love is the drug, got a hook on me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug i´m thinking of
Oh oh can´t you see
Love is the drug for me
Late that night I park my car
Stake my place in the singles bar
Face to face, toe to toe
Heart to heart as we hit the floor
Lumber up, limbo down
The locked embrace, the stumble round
I say go, she say yes
Dim the lights, you can guess the rest
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug i´m thinking of
Oh oh can´t you see
Love is the drug, got a hook in me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug i´m thinking of
Oh oh can´t you see
Love is the drug for me

 

I recorded a video of Brian Ferry years ago and he is really good, I don't know why he never caught on in the USA more than he did.

I did not even know Kraftwerk was still playing. They are very good also. It is strange that some music catches on in some parts of the world and not others. I have never heard of a good rock band from Japan, but I know they like rock and roll.

 

I always wondered why the Japanese market (music ) was considered so important by some Finnish bands ( they made some success there, the Hanoi Rocks for isntance ) but I learned some 10 years ago that they are the 2. or 3 best selling area (!!) in the world after the US ( and Europe?).So being popular in Japan means alot of money as well...

And they have had some interesting choices to sell alot there ( of western influence ), one of them being Scatman John, one of 4-5 persons to sell over one million copies ( of one single record ) over there.I think Mariah Carey is one of them as well.

So Big in Japan is not such a bad thing...( Old Alphaville song )...

 

Well Kai and Otto, it seems we have something in common. I too like techno and trance (house and progressive in particular). Kinda weird for someone my age.....46....or at least many of the people I know think so....

 

A friend of mine recently let me borrow the fisrt CD by the Bloodhound Gang (the ones who sing "Bad Touch") and it's pretty damned good...I can't stand their later work, but this cd is good.
I used to listen to techno/trance/house....but I think I might have listened to it too much...now it's just damn annoying.

I've always liked rock (old,new,hard whatever) and I think I always will! *lol*

DUCE

 

amen, duce. Gimme Zeppelin or give me death.

Anyway, found a few bands that I've heard of for a while, but never looked into. Audioslave and Jane's Addiction.

Until next time...rock on. \m/

 

Audioslave is an alright band...two former bands went into creating it...Rage Against the Machine and some other one. Not my favorite of groups, but the turnout is alright. Some of the songs seem quite generic though, oh well.

Jane's Addiction has actually been around for awhile, but is just now coming back into the spot light...I love'em.

DUCE

 

Rage "Rally around a Family" Filter "Nice Shot Man" Beasties "Sabotage" Disturbed Godsmack That about doe's it for now.

 

my favorite music is rock and alternative and some 80s/90s music

 

Yeah, Audioslave's lead guitarist (forgot his name) needs to stop experimenting and get with real skill.
I know Jane's Addiction has been here for a while, they just now started to behave themselves (for the good of themselves and the public)...

 

I like a wide variety of music. Classic Rock (Petty/Dylan/Led Zep/Floyd, etc) Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Rap (some rap - like DMX), Punk, Emo, (Saves the Day, Good Charlotte, Taking Back Sunday, etc) and Bands like Outkast. and i think thats about it.

 

Bought yesterday a DVD on Peter Gabriel on concert in Milan 2003.

Excellent, I recommend!!

 

June 2004 the Paul McCartney concert in Finland- got the tickets!

-----------

Otherwise I listen to J.Geils band at the moment

( Freeze frame, centerfold, Californicatin´, Tell ´em Jonesy...)

And some Classix Nouveaux....

 

Found an old tape of great Australian music-Icehouse...

How about "Electric blue", "Uniform" and especially "Street cafe"!!

and no matter where the days have left you
every day ends at the street cafe
the street cafe
and no matter where the road may take you
every time it brings you back to the street cafe
it's where you have to be




BTW. Iva Davies composed the soundtrack for the Russell Crowe movie Master and Commander...
