What band never gets old for you?

by Black Rider Mon Oct 06, 2008 1:22 pm

I can get tired of a band if I listen to them to much. It doesn't usually last but it happens for about 75% of the music I listen to. This never happens with Megadeth and Iron Maiden, I could listen to them all day and still enjoy it tomorrow.

by **MetalH** Mon Oct 06, 2008 1:24 pm

Megadeth is definitely one of them... I'd say...

Sonata Arctica
Judas Priest
Iced Earth
Live
Coheed and Cambria

To name a few...

by DoomRyder of Cheesy Songs Mon Oct 06, 2008 1:29 pm

Sonata Arctica
Nightwish when Tarja was singing for them
Rhapsody
AC/DC

Okay, I was kidding about the last one.

by **MetalH** Mon Oct 06, 2008 1:31 pm

Haven't they sounded just about the same since 1980?

by Black Rider Mon Oct 06, 2008 1:35 pm

I actually burned out on SA and Nightwish. Also, Kamelot and Silent Force. The euro metal thing got old for me but i'll have to dig 'em out and listen again. Priest never gets old.

by Black Rider Mon Oct 06, 2008 1:36 pm

Hey Doomryder, I still want to hook up for a show in Portland. It's hard on my schedule but if you hear of any let me know.

by **MetalH** Mon Oct 06, 2008 1:37 pm

I think I'm going to listen to Stained Class right now...

You guys both in Oregon?

by DoomRyder of Cheesy Songs Mon Oct 06, 2008 1:38 pm

I've always wondered if I would get burned out on power metal, but to be honest I don't listen to it all the time. I listen to most of my music at work, and to keep peace with my co-workers, I've added a lot of their music to my mp3 player. This probably helps me from burning out.

by **MetalH** Mon Oct 06, 2008 1:39 pm

My collection is mostly metal, but I'd say 30% is other stuff, so I just switch genres when I start getting burned out.

Cool, I don't know of anybody good playing at the Roseland right now, but I'll keep checking their schedule.

You missed a really good show with Sonata Arctica, but Nightwish was very disappointing to me. The band was excellent, but they played alot of old songs and Anette butchered them. She did decent on her material, but missed several notes on Whomever Brings the Night which I consider to have her best singing on the album.

by Black Rider Mon Oct 06, 2008 1:42 pm

Both in Wa. but it's not too far to drive to Portland which is my hometown.

by **MetalH** Mon Oct 06, 2008 1:43 pm

Nice! I'm about 12 hours away down here in Reno. Are you going to the HOM convention Black?

No, Washington. The Roseland Theater down in Portland though is an awesome place to catch a show. Much better than most Seattle venues (at least the ones I've been to).

by Black Rider Mon Oct 06, 2008 1:45 pm

I don't get tired of the bands that have that Priest/Maiden feel either. Barren Cross, Cage, Iced Earth and others.

by **MetalH** Mon Oct 06, 2008 1:45 pm

Iced Earth might be my favorite band tied with Megadeth. I can't get enough of their music.

by Black Rider Mon Oct 06, 2008 1:46 pm

For me to go to HOM would be a stretch. Time off by myself and the money just for me isn't a great option for the family right now.

Yeah... As much as I'd love to go... It all depends on time off and money.. It's hard to say what'll be going on by that time...

by **BackFromTheDawn** Mon Oct 06, 2008 7:31 pm

The better question for me is which bands I tire of least.

I'm rarely in the mood to hear too much of a certain band or sound for an extended period of time. I try and mix it up and take breaks from a band every once in a while.

But those bands that it does take me a while to tire out on are:

Queensryche
Labyrinth
Gamma Ray
Running Wild

by **MetalH** Mon Oct 06, 2008 7:32 pm

Queensryche

I know this is a sin... But I just can't get into the Ryche at all. What am I doing wrong?

Where are you starting at?

by **MetalH** Mon Oct 06, 2008 7:38 pm

Operation:Mindcrime

by **BackFromTheDawn** Mon Oct 06, 2008 7:41 pm

hmm...that's usually pretty standard fare for folks. But I understand if you don't like it. Some people I know who I would swear would like them just can't get into them.

If you still want to try, see if you don't like 'The Warning'.

by **MetalH** Mon Oct 06, 2008 7:42 pm

I'll check it out... I've heard lots of talk about them, so I finally did check them out... And just couldn't get into it at all.

by **Tall Tyrion** Mon Oct 06, 2008 9:17 pm

Operation Mindcrime is THE classic for Ryche, IMO, but The Warning and the s/t are also classic. Rage For Order is also good, but I have to be in the mood..... Empire is stellar, if a bit more commercial. Never get tired of that album....

Other bands I can always listen to:

Bride
Priest
Rez
Rush
Megadeth
Pink Floyd
buncha others... I don't so much get tired of things as I decide I really do need to listen to...... fill in the blank..... next.

by **MetalH** Mon Oct 06, 2008 9:18 pm

Yes! That makes 3 of us that rock the Deth! What band never gets old for you? 340883

Thanks.... An underrated Arnie picture... What a Face

by Black Rider Tue Oct 07, 2008 10:57 am

Metalh, listen to Rage for Order all the way through and if you don't like it by the end you won't like the 'ryche.

by Punksnuffer Tue Oct 07, 2008 3:49 pm

Arch Enemy
Disturbed
As I Lay Dying
Black Label Society
Otep

by **MetalH** Wed Oct 08, 2008 8:22 pm

I will definitely give Rage For Order a full spin...

by Ender Thu Oct 09, 2008 8:22 am

Rhapsody is so choice.
Between the Buried and Me is one I can't seem to stop listening to. EVER. haha.

by **BackFromTheDawn** Thu Oct 09, 2008 11:59 am

A little Rhapsody is always a good thing Twisted Evil

by L8T Thu Oct 09, 2008 7:26 pm

Well, I haven't even been listening to this band for a whole year yet...but, since I got Ultimatum Into The Pit I listen to this cd, or songs from it at least every other day, and sometimes, every day, and I don't see myself getting tired of it.

I need to get that at some point Embarassed

by **MetalH** Fri Oct 10, 2008 7:57 am

Dude, I listened to clips on their myspace, and it's amazing!

by **BackFromTheDawn** Fri Oct 10, 2008 8:42 am

I know. That's all I've heard since it came out. Laughing

by L8T Sat Oct 11, 2008 5:17 pm

It is definitely my go-to cd. For example, I listened to part of it during two workouts this week, and during 2 different soccer games this week....and, that is just what I remember. I don't tire of this.

I even loaned my mp3er, to a co-worker, during work, so he could use it while working out at the gym (at work)....he wanted something heavy and I told him Ultimatum and Deliverance...he came back and said "I really like that Ultimatum". Very Happy

by Black Rider Mon Oct 20, 2008 9:31 am

Helloween is another one.

Time makes fools of us all I suppose.

Nowadays, I would remove Running Wild (maybe Labyrinth) and put in Savatage, JOP, Megadeth and maybe Death (as far as metal goes).
