    Posted: March 15 2007 at 16:52
Well after a long time reading polls and reviews on this website i decide to check in, so i am gonna talk about myself a little bit (like if someone care)
I am 17 years old, my interest are: of course music (mostly avantgarde, krautrock, post rock and some alternative or indie bands (mostly the ones that really have original sound)), i also like to read (from Oscar Wilde to George Orwell plus Anne Rice, Lewiss Caroll, Asimov and a lot more stuff) and art in general (painting, theater, performance, etc)
My favorite bands (in no paricular order):
Pink Floyd
Neu!
Frank Zappa
Sonic Youth (why they aint here?, come on listen to Murray Street and tell me that isnt prog)
Idiot Flesh / SGM (they are almost the same but idiot flesh is funnier)
Mr Bungle
And my favorite albums (in no paricular order):
Meddle (Pink Floyd)
Murray Street (Sonic Youth)
Fancy (Idiot Flesh)
Heretic: Jeux des Dames Cruelles (Naked City)
Disco Volante (Mr Bungle)
The Aeroplane Over The Sea (Neutral Milk Hotel)

Well cause i am cool im gonna leve a link to download the Idiot Flesh albums, i think its legal cause the albums are imposible to find  (out of print) Link removed by admin
 
Big%20smile
Bonus Track: I hate Metal ( but i am not saying it is crap( the only crap is hihop or corporate music), f**k, just  understand i dont like it!!!!!!!!!
READ THIS PLEASE
Well i really wanna apologie if i offend anyone cuase i think i am being reaaly bipolar, what i really think of metal (not progressive) its that i find it a bit to steriotipical (riff, Guitar solo, and sometimes chorus or orchestation that sounds preety similar especially in power, heavy, and gothic) or death metal bands made of a single riff, i really hate that stuff cause its really repetitive (IMHO), about progressive metal i have heard this bands: Dream theater (complete dicographie, i cant stand this band is like a creative masturbation i really hate them) Opeth (just some song, i dont like it but not really know why), Atheist (Complete discografie Great, complex, fast, unpredictable)Lacrimosa (complete discographie kinda love hate relation), and thats all (and the avantgarde hybryds, wich i love), i think cause half the bands i have heard i find boring (or jus dont like it), but i most listen a bit more to say that i hate / love / be indifirent to  prog metal however mi attitude against (not progressive) will remain the same
Thanks for your understanding
Forgive my english, i mostly talk in spanish

I am neu! there by the way

Hi! And welcome, Guillermo!

Well yes but they dont make songs based on a simple riff and a guitar solo, or are clones from Death or Iron Maiden (its just my opinnion but i think all metal its like this)

A very ignorant generalization showing that you haven't heard almost any metal.

If you would have listened to more (kinds of) metal, I don't think you would have thought this way then. Not all metal bands are Iron Maiden or Death clones. Although I myself also love a good deal of songs that are based on a simple riff with a guitar solo, there are lots and lots of metal bands out there that make very complex, sophisticated and/or inaccessible music. Besides, I am not a Death expert, but I believe they have recorded some pretty complex music as well.

LOL Thanks for the support, Ansen, but I don't believe that I possess/know (the way towards) "the light". Wink I "just" like my music. And that includes different kinds of metal. Approve

Try Meshuggah (the EP called "I" is pretty amazing), Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects, Isis, Tool, Fantômas, Ulver and Maudlin Of The Well. I think at least one of those might make you change your mind, and make it possible for you to appreciate more metal again.

Why don;t you try digging deeper into prog metal: Kayo Dot and Agalloch for a start.
And look further into black metal: ever heard of Drudkh or Burzum?

Here, listen to the ProgArchives sample of Agalloch, http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_BAND.asp?band_id=1933

And one from kayo Dot: http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_BAND.asp?band_id=1870

Kayo Dot is indie, in the original meaning of the word. That is, a band operating through independent labels. Wink But nowadays "indie rock" is also known as a particular style of music, associated with Radiohead, Placebo and many others (because those bands started out on independent or "indie" labels). That kind of indie, it is certainly not.

I still don't agree that kayo dot are anything to do with metal. That's probably why we like them so much, your taste seems pretty cool :D
