    Default Mariner Grooves: What are you listening to?

    Somebody started one of these threads on my board, and it's taken off.

    It's a very simple thread idea for the board:

    What are you listening to? Post up a music video or just name what you're listening to. Feel free to comment on others' choice of music.

    I considered putting up some youtube videos of the concert I went to last friday, but I couldn't find anything that I thought wouldn't be offensive to some. That makes it sound much more nefarious than it was, but suffice to say I listen to some "scary" music. The concert I went to was headlined by a Polish band called Behemoth, but I was actually there to see a Swedish band called Watain. Never heard of them? Not surprising. You would hate them, trust me.

    In my car, I'm currently listening to a new CD out by a band made up of some old friends of mine. Here's a taste (I was at this show):

    Yeah? Did you like that? Didn't think so! Their new CD is AWESOME... Well, IMO.

    Before I had that CD in, I was listening to Moving Pictures by Canadian prog rock icons Rush:


    I collect vinyl as well, here are some cuts from the three records I picked up last weekend and that I have been playing on the Technics 1200s that are set up next to my computer desk:




    Oh, and I've been listened to this song like 20 time in the last two weeks. I don't know why, but I love it:


    I'm in two bands and live in a house with three other musicians. There are literally more than 30,000 vinyl records and 5 record players set up in my house. I listen to a LOT of stuff. I may go see crazy scary heavy metal bands, but last year I also went and saw Air Supply at the Emerald Queen Casino. I paid for the ticket with my own money. On purpose. I freaking love Air Supply.

    You're right Igoe, this is kinda fun. Music is my non-sports passion.

    I really like the Chili Peppers' older stuff. Everything up through Blood Sugar Sex Magic. I think my favorites are probably Mother's Milk, Freaky Styley, and the Uplift Mofo Party Plan- In that order.

    Yeah, I like all of it. The jazz/funky/jam style they had back then was awesome. They've since transitioned to a more modern style, which still mixes with the funk rock at times. Love it.

    They lost their lead guitar (Frusciante) a few years ago, and they're almost not the same now, but their bassist (Flea) is freakin' ridiculous. All around, they are still awesome and know how to jam out.

    Rush - Tom Sawyer - before I was born, but a classic.

    Converge - Wretched World - Not bad at all. Pretty awesome.

    Ozzy = the shit.

    Regarding the heavy metal stuff, I wouldn't say that I'm a HUGE fan of it, but it's alright. I wouldn't go around listening to it in my car, but I do think it's awesome to go to a concert and head bang with thousands of other people even though you can't understand a word the singer is saying.

    I saw Mayhem Festival in 2011 which consisted of In Flames, Straight Line Stitch, All Shall Perish, Red Fang, Suicide Silence, Kingdom of Sorrow and more on the side stages. The main stage featuered Trivium (incredibly underrated band), Machinehead, Megadeath, Godsmack and Disturbed. Disturbed is one of favorite bands and was one of the main reasons I went, but the whole day was awesome.

    For the main stage, we were in standing room only right on the front row just in front of the stage. IT WAS SICK! I got a guitar pick from the Megadeath lead guitarist as well.

    Right now I'm listening to a band no one has ever heard (Lost Gonzo Band) of, but I enjoy every song on the album.


    P.S. I love dani california by the peppers

    No, I hadn't actually heard that Joseph, but I LIKE it! Also dig the Lost Gonzo Band, a lot. Very cool.

    Igoe- Have not checked Megadeth off the list yet, that's rad that you got a guitar pick!
