Was bored and not even 1% sleepy last nite so was cracking my head to dig back old music from early till late 90s to download. I ended up with something funny.
" album. Don't know? Nevermind. Here are artists that I've followed for a couple of albums. Don't really have a passion for screaming bastards except for a couple of tracks, so yeah, not really a very very heavy metal type of music for me. And I usually will backtrack to an artist/band's earlier albums.
First well,
Bon Jovi. If you really don't know "
Always", I got nothing to say. Backtrack and got some of their older albums. From there, it was
The Offspring. Started with "
Come Out & Play" and I bought their next album;
Ixnay On The Hombre, then
Americana. Still following their new albums although
Conspiracy of One was downloaded. Shh.
Moved on to
Metallica after I heard
Memory Remains and starts backtracking to their more glorious tracks and albums. Been buying almost all their albums (
Load, Reload, S&M, St. Anger) although not very impressed with
St. Anger. Dropped like a sack of potatoes.
Before I leave the final year of secondary school, another friend told me about MM;
Marilyn Manson. First thought "Is that a girl?". So went and bought a copy of
Antichrist Superstar. HOOKED like a crack addict. Heck, back then to me the sound Manson & his band was playing is beyond god-like.
Early 2000, I bought this capalang mixed-artists metal album cos I was intrigued by the names on the album.
Buckcherry with one of their old songs which I can't remember what the title is. Ya,
Josh Todd didn't just come out of nowhere with "
Sorry" ok? And there was
Korn with
Trash, still a follower of Korn's stuffs.
Coal Chamber was in the CD too. The moment "
Loco" played, its like.. um.. epic orgasm? Though the song is about 1-2 years old by then. I still listen to it nowadays, along with "
Fiend" and the funnily-titled "
Shock The Monkey" featuring the epic
Ozzy Osbourne. They eventually disbanded and the lead singer,
Dez Fafara, formed
Devildriver which I have followed for 2 albums.
Not really into the lyrics or vocals but more into
Johnny B's drums (go YouTube "
Clouds Over California" or "
These Fighting Words"). Meh, I miss watching
Nadja Peulen on bass.. so much tastier than
Rayna.
Slipknot Slipknot Slipknot! First time I heard of them, I don't know, did I download or was it in the CD too? They were weird at first, 8 masked guys.
People=Shit then I got
Wait & Bleed etc etc. Only started to sort of tidy up their stuffs starting from
Subliminal Verses album and now I only got
Psychosocial from their latest album.
After that I heard
Nobody's Real by
Powerman 5000. Don't know if they're still around or not. Still listen to their older tracks like
Bombshell, Supernova Goes Pop, Free, etc. About a year or two later I found out the lead singer,
Spider, sounds like someone. More on that later.
Saw
Kid Rock's Bawitdaba on
MTV and bought his
Devil Without A Cause. Still following till today (
Cocky, that album with American Bad Ass in it,
Kid Rock). From Kid Rock sorta come
Ah Lim Biskut... Limp Bizkit that was on that mixed CD with
Nookie. Onwards to their
Chocolate Starfish album but then their next album was... hopeless (the one
James Iha replaced
Wes Borland on guitar), and finally
Wes Borland left the band (I heard he's back, dunnoh).
I heard someone with vocals almost similar to
Spider from
Powerman 5000. It turned out to be
ROB ZOMBIE. I was, no doubt, went crazy on my
The Sinister Urge album, playing it till who knows how many times a day. Backtracking to his older stuffs during
White Zombie days, I still find his line-up with
Riggs,
Blasko, and
Tempesta is the one that suits my ears. After
Educated Horses and then he started directing movies. Mehh, prolly no more albums from me favorite artist. And oh yeah, why do they sound the same? Cos he's
Spider's brother. Serious.
Randy burned me a CD which contains a song called
Pig Society. When I played it, that was one of the songs in the capalang CD I bought in early 2000. Its by
Dope from
Felon & Revolutionnaires album. Epic orgasm, again. From there onwards, there's always
Dope on my playlist.
Life, Group Therapy, American Apathy, American Apathy Reloaded (I lost their updated version of
Burn and
Fuck Tha Police). Even their demo "
Little Fish" that has been revamped for
American Apathy titled "
Fuck The World".
Dope. Them good. Too bad Racci Shay left. That's all for now. Some bands are not to be placed in the list as they usually involve a single track, or disbanded after a while. I got some older bands like
Guns N Roses, Led Zeppelin, Pearl Jam, AC/DC, Scorpion, Motley Crue, Iron Maiden, and even
Elvis. I swear I'm gonna use a flamethrower on whoever that stole my
Motley Crue's Greatest Hits CD. It just went POOF. Dammit.
So what's your past and present for music?
