phazer11 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 So fun fact. You can have too much of a good thing, at least youtube thinks so. So one door closes and another opens.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmuS_25Ldvg&list=PLe0Dkox-yDbigi-BGtURyuOcW_55b4o7a&shuffle=394https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLe0Dkox-yDbigi-BGtURyuOcW_55b4o7ahttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLe0Dkox-yDbh_OFxJ0kKz7QGPCqM-Q8Sv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rootsrat Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 I'm super excited! On the 5th of April NEUROSIS will gig in Leeds, hell yeah! One of my favourite post-metal/post-hardcore bands, a true legend, California based, founded in 1985 they still gig today with full power! I have never seen them live so far, so this is a musical event of great significance to me!If you're into metal and hardcore music and you don't this band, you have some SERIOUS home work to do :) Here's a couple of my favourite tunes:Stones From The Sky, a 10 minute post metal orgasm with very atmospheric video[video=youtube] And a live performance of Locust Star, one of the most powerful tunes of my life:[video=youtube] .If you know the band called Swans (which is a legend of their own), in 2002 or 03 Neurosis released a full album with Jarboe from Swans, this is a true masterpiece as well.

Vulgar1 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) Hey rootsrat nice thread, I too love music of pretty much all types, a lot of people say that but it is true for me. I am also not very partial to mainstream radio friendly music though there are exceptions most of which started pre '95. The fact that you even know who Swans and Neurosis makes me happy. Here is some original crust, and I don't mean pizza, from one of the greatest albums ever Amebix's (from UK) Monolith: Something totally different the Sigur Ros (from Iceland) album (), it's long but the build up is worth the payoff: TTFN Enjoy!

rootsrat Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 One of the greatest poets of our time. If you're into this kind of stuff, I'd highly recommend attending one of Saul's gigs. It's a theater mixed with poetry and rap. [video=youtube] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phazer11 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Interesting I'll have to look at that one later roots.In the mean time... I've finally found some good versions of some of the other music in my playlists. Such as... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEFa1f_WCms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreadflopp Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) One of the greatest poets of our time. If you're into this kind of stuff, I'd highly recommend attending one of Saul's gigs. It's a theater mixed with poetry and rap. Been to a Sual Williams concert. One of the best gigs I ever been to. Loved how he could silence the whole room with poetry shouted without a microphone.There is a brittish spoken word artist/rapper called scroobius pip who has a radio program called Beatdown which is excellent if you are into alternative rap/spoken word (he is a big fan of Saul Williams). It's on the site/app mixcloud. Here is two tracks by Scroobius Pip and another one which is one of my favorite spoken word pieces by Polar bear: Edited May 14, 2014 by dreadflopp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rootsrat Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Yeah, I know Scroobius Pip (not personally ;) ), Dan le Sac as well (I might have misspelled that). I write poetry as well, most of it is in Polish though, but I have a few pieces in English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ2311 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I was not aware that Amaranthe had released a new album. I watched them live and I must say I really liked their style. It made for a real nice change in the genre, what with the 3 different vocalists. Also, I have to say that thankfully, Elize Ryd looks better IRL than she does in those music videos. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nozzer66 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Well if you like Elize Ryd: Try her with Kamelot, and add in some Alissa White-Gluz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ2311 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I'm not actually sure how I feel about that. D: Also, I really can't take those music videos seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nozzer66 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 To be fair to that video the album it's off is a concept album and there's a bit of a message through it. That's the first time I'd ever heard of her and from that song I looked up more of her work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phazer11 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I've tried to like Kamelot, really have but there is just something about the lead singer that's... off don't know how else to put it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssArrBee Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I always loved hearing this Ginsberg poem by RATM. Got to see them perform it once at one of the top 3 concerts I've ever been too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spock Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 This is not my usual genre but it gives me goose bumps hearing: @roots: My favorite track from Cypress Hill is Illusions. There was a time where I heared hardcore rap on dope samples a lot. Nas smokin' is another very good example of that kind of rap. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3fcqZmpSqI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phazer11 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I think I'm off my metal adding kick for the time being. Let's go for some golden oldies. Also have I mentioned how annoying Youtube's playlist limit is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
