Date Posted: October 02 2007 at 23:13
Thank you very much. Yea SOAD is pretty personal, because I grew up listening to them, they were the first ones to show me that music can be anti-something. I was obsessed with them for about 5 or 6 years before and during high school. I really can't listen to the with the same ears, since I've discovered so much since then. Prog has spoiled me. And Rammstein........ is just Rammstein. Completely blew me away as a teen. Everything is just so powerful, theatrical, dramatic with them. And the German was never really an issue with me. -------------

Posted By: explodingjosh
Date Posted: October 02 2007 at 23:42
Ah, I see. I don't hate America, but I love that song. I forgot to mention this, kinda ironic/funny: When the White Stripes released "Stand Behind Me Satan", I had never really explored progressive music... I HATED it. It was too "prog" for me! As a fan, I just wanted to hear some bad a$$ guitar riffs from Jack White, I didn't have time for xylophones and other crap! I sold it back the next day. That was the summer a couple of years ago, and now, with my new "prog" ears, I can honestly appreciate it. (I bought a copy.... again). -------------

Well that's fine, I certainly don't expect everyone to enjoy a death metal band, a nerdy-as-hell rock-opera project, or faerie music ;p edit: strange how a genesis fan wouldn't be able to stand marillion though, in their good days (first three albums) they were practically a clone of them |
