Re: i am starting to like rock music

Dude, you wanna talk about "rock" music, I'm your man. Actually I listen to more straight-up metal than what you would call "rock." To tell you the truth, it's what I listen to most. I love dance music and always will, but metal has always been my first love. I go to at least 1 concert a week, live is where it's at.

In the past month I've gone to Atlanta to see All That Remains, Shadows Fall, Lamb of God and Slipknot (not really a fan, but they are alright), to Orlando by myself (I live about 2 hours away) to see Behemoth, The Black Dahlia Murder and Nile and just last week went to Motley Crue. At the same time I am competely broken up that I had to miss Danny Howells at the House of Blues last Sunday and went all the hell to Miami for the conference.

I've never understood people who can listen to one kind of music all the time. Seems like a waste. I love rocking out to Slayer, then firing up a 2 hour live mix immediately after. Makes me understand that music is music, how you interpret it is the only difference.

Re: i am starting to like rock music

its true, i have been well into Mr Brightside by The Killers recently and yeasterday i heard the new single by the Poo Fighters (Times Like These) and i fucking love it! dunno whats happening to me, i used to be into some rock type stuff in the 80's besides Depeche Mode who were my main interest but since i got into dance music i have never looked back until now, strange indeed.

yeah, but the killers are no pixies!

ah he is at Heaven again? will definately try and do this, i heard Hos had a great night last time he played there, thanks for the info

Shall we all take our camera phones, just to annoy him!!
but does it clash with TM on the 2nd?

As for Rock music, Chem mate you haven't got the hair for it, but i do like Franz Ferdinand, if that is rock, oh and the killers and Kasabian.

Morgs it's the ELEVENTH of JUNE....not the 2nd. the 2nd is my birthday. i accept paypal.

yeah Chem, I had a wicked time, didn't really know what to expect, people saying how he keeps talking and stuff, but all in all it was a real show, he had dancers and these funny flashlights. wicked moment when he dropped the acappella of Evolution - Walking on Fire over the instrumental of Shapeshifters - Lola's theme....now i know what you're thinking... but it was amazing...Jayne Hannah's vocal reverberated through the main room, it was quite moving

Re: i am starting to like rock music

It's easy to like almost any music- just put it on when you're doing something you like all the time.

A great deal of music appreciation is associative, so if you always associate a certain music with certain feelings because of where or when your were listening, you're bound to begin to feel those feelings again even when your listening to that music out of that environment.

So if you find yourself limited musically, grab some shit that you don't like that some of your friends do like, and put it on when your having a good time...works like a charm.

btw- it works the same way in the other direction...you can lose feelings for music by negative association, too! So when something bad happens, stop the music.

^ Thanks Dr. Phil!

Good points, never really thought of it that way. I still don't think I could ever like country music though, even if I was listening to it while getting blown by Jenna Haze and laying in a grain silo full of $100 bills.

Re: i am starting to like rock music

That is some seriously deep shit, dude.

Maybe I'll put on my girl's Kelly Clarkson CD next time we're bangin'. Maybe then hearing her shriek "Since you been gone!!!!!" won't sound so much like a cow being ground up in a tractor engine.
