Bands You Never Hear Anyone Talking About - General

Best Fwends, for example [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdDjl1khbP4[/media] or Caravan Palace [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j95HbhTl60k&translated=1[/media] Post some bands that you never hear being talked about [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Post Your" - Perfumly))[/highlight]

Skinny Puppy, Psyclon Nine, Combichrist, Ministry, NinjaSpy, She Wants Revenge, Ratatat, :wumpscut:, The Agonist. I could really go on, but unless I introduced people I know to these bands, no one knows of them.

I know of Ratatat and Combichrist.

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;18505462]Skinny Puppy, Psyclon Nine, Combichrist, Ministry, :wumpscut:[/QUOTE] I know of these bands. I've listened to every one of them, actually.

And I've heard of Skinny Puppy (who hasn't? :v:), Combichrist, Ministry, and The Agonist. Listened to them all, too. :v: Here, I'll throw some bands out, too: Dark Age, Callenish Circle, Sybreed, Hypnosis, Burden of Grief, Beyond the Embrace, and Pro-Pain. :v:

Post some examples of said bands.

King Crimson, Suffocation, The Smiths, [b]Kiko Loureiro[/b],Guthrie Govan, The Pixies, Autechre, Earth Crisis, The Mars Volta, At The Drive In

Do you mean no one talks about it like, online and in magazines, or mainstream wise like if you just took your average music listener out of the streets? Assuming it's the latter, Television. I've never read anyone say anything about their album Marquee Moon that isn't praising it, but no one's heard anything about them. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaVGjEq_huM[/media]

Iron Maiden, Anthrax, and Megadeth. I know that those bands had been around for a long time, released multiple albums, and are quite influential. They seem to be ignored where I'm at, in lieu to be replaced with bullshit such as Skipknot, Jonas Brothers, Kanye West, and Taylor Swift. :sigh:

If you really want good metal, you have to dig deeper, most people start with thrash, they praise it for some amount of years ,then they want deeper music, they move down to death metal, once you get down to the extreme metal genres, nothing else really matters in terms of metal. After that, you have a general understanding of music, I used to love death metal, nothing can be better, but it had opened up my eyes and now I love latin music and jazz music, anything demanding a high sense of style, artistic abilities, and instrumental knowledge.

And about Slayer, it is somewhat overheard where I live, thanks to Guitar Hero (which is kind of annoying, as Slayer is pretty good).

I never see enough people talking about Meshuggah. Straws pulled at random [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6VerKdcrOQ&NR=1[/media]

100% of all underground dance producers

[QUOTE=bravehat;18509608]I never see enough people talking about Meshuggah. Straws pulled at random [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6VerKdcrOQ&NR=1[/media][/QUOTE] I used to be a big messugah fan, I have 2 of their albums on Vinyl.

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSimbyS_YlA[/media] Made a thread about him a while ago, he was for the most part ignored

[QUOTE=Racid;18509797]I used to be a big messugah fan, I have 2 of their albums on Vinyl.[/QUOTE] I've just started gettin into em, learned this song on guitar, [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwLhf-rqYyY[/url] And learning straws pulled at random now. the picking is so awesome just the rhythm of it.

I'm surprised I never hear any of my metal head friends talk about disarmonia mundi. Very good stuff. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYgVtN-rWiA[/url] Also I've never heard my hardcore/screamo friends talk about versus the mirror. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHh-BpqLofA[/url] Or the sound of Animals fighting [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QmW5HjDhU8&feature=related[/url] In fact there are lots of bands I never hear anyone talk about.

Meat Puppets. (Refer to my thread)

I've only ever seen or heard one other person mention The Victorian English Gentlemens Club before.

Disarmonia Mundi, Insomnium, and Mors Principium Est; insanely fun bands to play songs by on Frets on Fire. Great bands, too. :rock:

[QUOTE=Jack Bryce;18522449]I've only ever seen or heard one other person mention The Victorian English Gentlemens Club before.[/QUOTE] Hey, I know them. They're actually not bad.

[QUOTE=Racid;18509259]King Crimson, Suffocation, The Smiths, [b]Kiko Loureiro[/b],Guthrie Govan, The Pixies, Autechre, Earth Crisis, The Mars Volta, At The Drive In[/QUOTE] I know of King Crimson, have heard some of Kiko's wotks, barely know of The Pixies, and I know and listen to The Mars Volta on occasion.

nobody talks about old [b]Tom Waits[/b] anymore.
