MUSIC ADDICTIONS

[BloodAngel]

@GF GREAT BAND!

[BloodAngel]

@Rucket I love Fantastic negrito’s song on this album.

[MisterBoring]

This is one of my favorite songs.

My overall musical tastes are random. I’ve literally jumped from Tove Lo to the Aquabats to Cannibal Corpse in a single listening session.

[BloodAngel]

@MisterBoring Godspeed You! Black Emperor is amazing. Also, I’ve got my little ones addicted to the Aquabats took them to live a few years ago.

There hasn’t been a single song by The Protomen that I haven’t liked, although they haven’t made much new music in awhile. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkLvpt9Z3fA&ab_channel=LightUpTheNight

Also some of their covers are incredible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7agiqfuQmQ&ab_channel=TheProtomen-Topic

@Dreampipe Oh, heck, I actually love these guys, but I absolutely NEVER would have expected to hear someone mention them outside of a very limited niche.

[BloodAngel]

@Dreampipe The story is awesome! I love concept albums!

[Pavel]

If concept albums are your thing, my all time favourite still remains Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s Beethoven’s Last Night.

[BloodAngel]

@Pavel I’ll have to pop that on later today. Thank you for the suggestion! I have heard a few songs by them but never done a deep dive.

[Rathenhope]

@Pavel it really is the best concept album in existence

[Testament]

I’m going to a Deftones/Gojira concert tomorrow night. So that should probably give an indication as to what I’ve been listening to. To note, I bought these tickets two year ago as the concert was supposed to of been also two years ago. I’m just glad they’re still being honored.

[BloodAngel]

@Testament YES! They are both amazing live! I saw them forever ago it feels in the before times.

[hellfrog]

Last concert I saw in the before times was Gogol Bordello. Also the best concert I’ve ever experienced.

Gogol Bordello forever

[BloodAngel]

@hellfrog OMFG! I saw them and it blow my mother fucking mind! He was riding on a drum screaming! One of the best fucking shows of my whole life.

[BloodAngel]

@Pavel This is so good. Had it on the background most of the day about halfway. Need to find some free time to truly sit down and do it with just headphones. Thank you for the suggestion.

[BurnNotice]

@hellfrog Gogol Bordello has an AMAZING live show! The energy is a whole vibe.

[Pavel]

Okay, I’ve got another music offering that’s totally different because I contain multitudes.

Do you want an excuse to feel fucking moved? Like… no joke, tears are practically guaranteed to happen.

[BloodAngel]

@Pavel Also amazing! Thank you!

Rammstein have a new album out, titled Zeit.

For anyone who doesn’t know, they’re German industrial metal, and they have a well-deserved reputation for shock tactics and artistically-done videos that leave people uncomfortable and thinking. They stood on a stage in a packed stadium in Moscow and two of the guys kissed, and one of them went crowd surfing in a rubber dinghy in Poland with a pride flag. Brave and brilliant, it’s a winning combination.

The singles (none of which are really going to be SFW, they’re German and they like to shock): Zick Zack is both hilarious and very much a statement, I just about wet myself laughing the first time I saw it but it still left me thinking. Angst is classic Rammstein, a hell of a lot packed into one small track. Zeit is also classic Rammstein and but very much less SFW than the other two, which is saying something. The last one is cued up to watch - I haven’t had the chance to see it yet, but the title is entertaining for English speakers.

Off to see them live next month. Can’t wait.

@Evilgrayson I would post a gif here to give an example of what you mean, but I forgot how spoiler tags work.
