music discussion

Suppose you are a professional wrestler, which song(s) would you have as your theme while making an entrance? A few songs, I would choose from: - Black Label Society - Overlord - Pantera - Mouth For War - Kamelot - March Of Mephisto - Lazarus A.D. - Absolute Power - Skid Row - The Threat

Ronnie James Dio - What a musician! What a personality! No less than a wizard, a legend in the metal world. Post your Top 10 songs which, in your opinion displayed the very prowess of the late but great Ronnie James Dio, from throughout his career! (Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Dio, Heaven &...

Seeing a debate on a Maiden thread about which songs to be put under 'power ballad' category, I decided to make this thread. (Wasting Love is definitely a ballad, you punks!) What is your definition of a power ballad? For me, it has a comparatively light instrumentation, having passages in...

I do not intend to claim that one party copied another or anything as such. I just happen to find the main riff from a bollywood song strikingly similar to that from 'The Writing On The Wall'. Interestingly it came out much before TWOTW. Do you guys also notice it??

High On Fire One of my new favourite bands right now. Really like their brand of Sludge/Stoner Metal (with hints of even Thrash). Their sound often draws comparison with Black Sabbath and Motorhead. Matt Pike is a riffmaster. Rush Prog/Hard rock giants! At times I find it amusing how that music...

Some of my favourites (Top 10 basically) :shred:: - Dave Murray/Adrian Smith (and also Janick for that matter) (Iron Maiden) - Glenn Tipton/K.K. Downing (Judas Priest) - Alex Skolnick/Eric Peterson (Testament) - James Hetfield/Kirk Hammett (Metallica) - Jeff Hannemann/Kerry King (Slayer) -...

As the title suggests. It is not that you necessarily hate or dislike a particular band, you may just not care much or never bothered to check their discography. I will start first. Hellyeah - Hell Of A Time Even though having some talent - Chad Gray (Mudvayne), Vinnie Paul (Pantera). I...

"I think the music reflects the state that the society is in... poets and musicians... reflect that age." - John Lennon In a new study published in the journal 'Scientific Reports', it has found that song lyrics have become simpler and more repetetive since the last fourty years. This...

Alright, after strolling across some similar threads before, I was surprised why it totally ended. So why not start it again? I think it will be a good space for discussing music and introducing fellow members to artists/songs that you think should get recognition (not including Maiden songs as...

Since we already have a GnR thread, I decided to make one for all the other projects having the guitarist Slash in his full capacity. For the record these bands and albums are: Slash's Snakepit: It's Five O'Clock Somewhere (1995) Ain't Life Grand (2000) Velvet Revolver: Contraband (2004)...

Awesome band! Definitely deserves a thread of it's own. Their first two albums: Alice In Hell and Never, Neverland are stone-cold classics in the Thrash sub-genre. Third album Set The World On Fire is more in the lines of Metallica/Countdown To Extinction in terms of accessibility and appeal...

If you ask me, it is of course the year 1990. Some of my absolute favourite albums were released during the time. Actually the entire time period from 1989-90 is my favourite which saw the the culmination of 80s Metal. Pantera made an insane comback with Cowboys From Hell which in my opinion has...

You know the drill! Just go for any genre. Avenged Sevenfold - Nightmare Black Label Society - Order Of The Black Havok - Time Is Up Vektor - Terminal Redux Exmortus - Slave To The Sword Special mention: Sylosis - Edge Of The Earth Redemption - Long Night's Journey Into Day Both the Maiden...

Since @Dick Brucinson has already made similar threads on previous decades, so I decided to make one for 2000s. You can pick from any genre. Iron Maiden - A Matter Of Life And Death Nevermore - Dead Heart In A Dead World Avenged Sevenfold - City Of Evil Shadows Fall - The War Within Dream...

As the title suggests, you may include bands/artists who have disbanded, have been on a hiatus or may perform live often but haven't recorded anything for a long time. Some of the bands that come to mind: 1. Symphony X 2. Shadows Fall 3. Pagan's Mind 4. Lazarus A.D. 5. Coröner 6. 3...

Since the GMSC is on and while I'm a bit late to the party to nominate any songs, I decided to make this thread. Pick ONLY one song by a band and you may include a Maiden song as well! My Top 20: #1. Holy Wars... The Punishment Due - Megadeth Album - Rust In Peace (1990) Genre - Thrash Metal...

Personally I prefer Silver Wings. Silver Wings Aces High
