The Blue Board

Love me some Cage the Elephant, I got Ain't no Rest for the Wicked on repeat in my car

Jonathan Tyler - Gypsy Woman.

I'm reading Keith Richard's book right now, so I have been digging through a lot of Rolling Stones stuff.

That's really cool -- I probably would have no idea it was Metallica if you hadn't mentioned it (and it wasn't on the artwork). Was never really into their music, but these guys are really good.

Good for that empty feeling...dudes wrote it in a flooded basement in NOLA while battling drug addiction.

this soundes like som dayum communist-m

I think the music to this one is pretty cool, but I wasn't digging the vocals when the dude started crooning.

Not sure if you would like it... but there is a band called Genghis Tron that I think is pretty awesome. They mix a lot of heavy guitar work with some cool electronics (sort of like this one at times). Anyway, your song struck up my Genghis Tron interest and I'm gonna listen to them a little bit tonight. Check it out. I'll post some tracks later

They are good for about one slow song per album. I would check out the below, see if you like that:

I don't know them really well, but I've seen them open at a few shows and they are a favorite of Decibel magazine (a lot of page time there). I do agree that we wouldn't get a lot of responses here - grindcore (and its derivatives) isn't exactly the most accessible of genres.

Do you like any other grind-ish bands? I like Nasum, Rotten Sound and especially Discordance Axis.

From wiki, hope this clears things up a bit:

"Grindcore is an extreme genre of music that started in the early- to mid-1980s. It draws inspiration from some of the most abrasive music genres – including death metal, industrial music, noise and the more extreme varieties of hardcore punk.

Grindcore is characterized by heavily distorted, down-tuned guitars, high speed tempo, blast beats, and vocals which consist of incomprehensible growls, or high-pitched shrieks."

I can only handle so much of the stuff, and I'm into some pretty intense forms of music. Most of it is garbage, IMO. I do like the bands I listed, though all of them are acquired tastes. You're spot on that it sounds like crap live.

For the record, I consider grindcore a '10' on a 1 - 10 scale of heaviness, and my wheelhouse is more in the 7 - 9 range.

ZFM - the piano version kills the other IMO.

Are you still on TOS? Round up some music people from over there. We need to build up the community over here.

How about a heavy electronic song? Seriously though, I am lacking in the heavy music and hip hop dept. but do have a pretty good indie, classic rock, and spacey music collection. I know GILLIG was hated over there, but he was pretty good for music discussion.
