***OFFICIAL*** FFA Heavy Music Thread - No banal, anodyne "Dad Rock" BS here.. (1 Viewer)

KarmaPolice said:
For sure (I am not a fan of We Suck Young Blood and others), I was just trying to think of somebody not overly familiar with them, and that might be a decent bridge album.

Agreed.  It is a nice blend of their rock, melancholy and electronic sides, without any of them dominating the record.  :hifive:

 
Kid A is where they lost me. I know "Pablo Honey" gets #### on, especially by die-hards, but I wore that out when it came out. "You" might still be my favorite Radiohead song. The Bends and OK Computer are better albums though. The Bends is a morose, guitar-driven affair that has some incredible stuff on it. I played OK Computer maybe more than any other album (regardless of genre) the year it came out - '97? It's a masterpiece, but unfortunately it ultimately was a harbinger. They really transitioned away from guitar-driven music and went way more into electronica after that, and I kind of lost interest.

That is a good start.  Keep listening and before you know it, it will be owning your soul. :yes:  

I think Hail to the Thief is a bit long (there are 3-4 songs I could get rid of and make it more cohesive overall), but it is still pretty damn great, and has several of my favorite Radiohead songs to date (Where I End and You Begin and Sail to the Moon), not to mention the massive fan favorite There There.

Pablo Honey is a solid record.  It pales in comparison to everything they have done since, but it is certainly a solid record.

Oh, I don't.  That would be in my next tier of favorite tunes from Hail... along with Myxomatosis, Sit Down Stand Up and The Gloaming.

Ah, for some reason I thought you were a big fan but I was confusing that with deftones, another band I don't know much about.

Deftones is another ball game entirely. They may be the best band of the past 20 years. Their sound has changed so much from their first record to the last, but all without losing the essence/edge that makes them great. They don't sound anything like Deafheaven but they have a similar ability to have hauntingly gorgeous and brutally heavy segments/elements in the same song. Chino's love of Depeche Mode/Cure/Smiths 80s and 90s mope rock mixed with Steph's affection for Meshuggah and similar fast/heavy riffage creates an interesting hybrid with a tremendous dynamic range.

Plus, there are actually good looking women at their shows.

I just pulled up the very first review of their last album (their 8th) that came up with a Google search.  Consequence of Sound.  This is the first paragraph :

Deftones’ eighth studio album, Gore, is a stunning achievement. When so much rock music in 2016 feels dead, vapid, and recycled, here comes an album so vividly alive and inspired that it could turn even the most curmudgeon-y doomsayer into a worshipper of the guitar once again. Honestly, it shouldn’t come as a surprise. Every few years, the Deftones drop a remarkable record, methodically building an empire of cred and acclaim that’s taken them a career to accumulate. Ten, 20 years ago, they were an anomaly of modern rock radio — the good band among the bad, caught in the tide of nu-metal and various flavors the month. But because the band never strayed from its artistic values or impeded its own undeniable urge to create visceral, romantic heavy music (the Deftones always sound like the Deftones and nobody else), they’ve outlived all the #### they came up with, that whole ’90s alt metal scene. I can confidently call them a legendary band, and more and more listeners become privy to that legacy with each album cycle: “Oh, this is good. Why didn’t I listen the Deftones before?”

I'll just tell my favorite Deftones story even if I've posted it before: Years ago, my buddy saw Deftones in Chico at a small venue. Someone yelled out, "SLAYER!" between songs as people are wont to do. And without missing a beat, Deftones played Angel of Death :headbang:

 
Never listened to deftones 

:scared:

And that deafhaven album was weird. Not something I would put into the heavy music category. Put it on during my run. They seemed to play the same notes over and over again with one different one thrown in every 8th note or so  :shrug:

I did just hear a band I really liked though. Violent Gentlemen pimped them in an email last week. Harms Way. Really liked them. They remind me of old school NyHC. @Evilgrin72, you ever listen to them.

I'm unfamiliar, but I'll check it out.

 
Deafheaven last night was ridiculous.  My brother and I were hanging out at the back bar during Drab Majesty's set and I noticed George Clarke milling around.  I went over to congratulate him on the new record and mentioned how much I'm digging it (I really am, it's fantastic) and he was really appreciative.  Just a nice, down-to-earth dude.  We got to talking a little bit and it turned out, he was locked out of the green room, you needed to punch in some kind of code on the door to get in and he couldn't make it work.  I was trying to help him get the door open and cracked a few jokes that he thought were funny.  A club employee came over and finally helped us get the door open and he must have thought I was with the band because he didn't shut me out.  So, I said screw it and just followed George into the green room.

I rolled in and no one said a word.  Spent a couple minutes talking to Kerry and (mostly) Shiv Mehra before they had to go on and when their curtain time came, Shiv just brought us onto the stage with them and told us we could watch the show from there.  Probably had something to do with the jokes I made about being in my mid 40s at a show with 500 18-25 year olds.  We watched the show from side-stage and when they went off, each one of the band members stopped to shake our hands/bro-hug us and thanked us for coming.  One of the best concert experiences of my life.

A couple photos of our vantage point for the show:

A decent stretch and I could have played the f'n keyboard.  :lol:

Well, last night, they actually scrubbed You Without End because some dildo in the front row kept grabbing Kerry's guitar cable during the end of Brought to the Water and unplugging his guitar.  The cable actually stopped working and they had to swap it out.  Then the putz started doing it again at the beginning of Worthless Animal and Kerry got pissed and took his guitar off entirely.  He grabbed security and pointed the guy out and had him removed, but then they needed to start Worthless Animal all over again.  Between that and the fact that it was about 106 degrees in the place, George went around to the other band members at the end of that song and told them to go right into From the Kettle Onto the Coil, so we got gypped out of one tune.  :rant:

I could have jumped off the stage directly on to his head.  I considered it briefly.

Cool moment during "Dream House."  George was basically IN the crowd singing at the end of the song and some dude was screaming "I WANT TO DREAAAAAAAM" back at him with such passion and fervor that I thought he was possessed.  George noticed and grabbed the guy and basically lifted him on to the stage.  Handed him the mike and just let the guy handle vocal duties while George stage dove into the crowd and surfed around.

His stage presence is great. He’s like a skinny prancing demon.

Sure is.  He's taller than I thought too - I'm every bit of 6' 2" and he was nearly as tall as I am.  Kerry McCoy is about 5' 6".  He also was wearing shoes that looked like my wife's old Keds, they were kind of like white slippers - almost ballet shoes.  Odd.  That man can play the ####ing guitar though.

McCoy has lost a lot of weight I think. Gone kinda hipster too. I may have read he got sober.

He looked solid, not fat.  I don't know if those guys are sober or not, but one thing I can tell you is that I saw no alcohol backstage, with the exception of the Stella in my own hand.

 
A buddy of mine who is friends with the guys from Coheed just invited me to the show on Saturday in Coney Island. Should be fun. I dont know much from them even though they are good friends with my bud, but that one song everyone knows is pretty killer.

They're good live. You'll enjoy it.

 
Just stumbled across a fun YouTube show by Amoeba Records called What's In My Bag? Music artists from many genres talking about their favorite records, and there's lots of metal guys in the show. Corey Taylor from Slipknot, Behemoth's lead singer, Dave grohl, etc.

Good stuff!

My friend's 17 year old daughter is into hardcore now. We took her to her first show and she survived her first pit (Jello Biafra). Anyway, as he's schooling her on all these hardcore bands, he was about to tell her about A### C###. So he's like, "Wait, nevermind." She insisted he tell her and now she's all into the lyrics. 

 
Look what I just bought:

Mammoth Grinder's New Album Is So Good We're Kind of Mad About It

"Cosmic Crypt marks the trio's first foray back into the full-length zone since 2013's Underworlds. Mixed by chairman of the board Arthur Rizk, mastered by Toxic Holocaust's Joel Grind, and crowned with cover art by the legendary Joe Petagno (who's created covers for the likes of Motorhead, Autopsy, and Pink Floyd), Cosmic Crypt features founding vocalist and bassist Chris Ulsh (Power Trip), alongside new recruits Mark Bronzino (Iron Reagan) and Ryan Parrish (Iron Reagan, ex-Darkest Hour). Dream team pedigree aside, I want to reiterate once again just how much this album ####ing rips."
