between the buried and me

yeah, i was into them when silent circus was out, then their album alaska came out and i went to see them and they were playing with chiodos which made no sense to me at all... it was awful, and that's when i was like oh man good band gone bad. but when their album colors came out it dragged me back in, they are a bunch of talented fellas...

 

Most of the band's that I like sell out hardcore when they do, so they shall never redeem themselves =P (MSI, Kings of Leon)
And other bands just completely lose their touch and seem doubtful to ever recover (Metallica, Axl Rose)

 

please.....point them out.....I think the list was in the as i lay dying thread?

 

............

 

I think Jack White is pretty hot. Not only that but he plays the guitar so well. Very innovative and experimental, so bluesy as well... which is always a plus.

The White Stripes, The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather are great.

 

i am not going to go look for them child get the heck outta here!

and jack white is pretty hot and he makes great music, i haven't gotten into dead weather but i do like the raconteurs and the white stripes.

 

What the hell does Jack White have to do with anything?

Anyways, all his work but some of the White Stripes sucks.

He will never do anything as good as Elephant again.

 

I rest my case.

 

this and Mordehai, bitches

i think they are technically considered 'math core' or something like that? my friend is really into them and he says they write their music to mathematical functions and really elaborate schemes...

 

would meshuggah fell under this?

 

i have no idea

 

I feel you NP but I think they're more experimental/ progressive than mathcore.

Mathcore is mostly just technical and weirdly complex, it doesn't necessarily have to be anything mathematical.

Some mathcore bands are like... War From A Harlot's Mouth and uhhh... Dillinger Escape Plan? I think?

Anyways, Mordecai's cool

 

lolno
Using math to write music or poetry is pretty standard fare, which is why I think "mathcore" is a really stupid name for a genre.
I'd call them progressive metal if anything. Not too fancy but pretty much sums up what you are going to get.

 

Okay, I couldn't read all this shit. But I read some...

I FUCKING love this band. Oddly enough I'm listening to them now...
They are strictly metalcore... I wouldn't say they are thaaat heavy. Just amazing musicians. They their influences are King Crimson, Soundgarden, Pantera, Pink Floyd, Earth Crisis, and The Smashing Pumkins... Listen to the album "Colors" all the way through. And you will defiantly see it. Not saying you'll love it. But you may have more of a respect for em after.

They defiantly are trendy though... I still love them non the less. A lot of the shit that comes out now days is trendy though.

Despised is pretty good too... But they aren't in the same Category as BTBAM...

 

I love you for admitting that.

Bullshit. I mean, I'm not that big in the metal crowd anymore, as I became dissociated with what metal fans are supposed to like, so I may be wrong there if tastes have changed - but in every other aspect all the music that doesn't follow mainstream trends gets buried.

 

Metal is trendy... Metal is honestly always evolving. And changing... Creating new category's and what not... But always keeping it's roots.
Trendy isn't a bad thing..

What we called metal in the 70's 80's 90's is not what we called metal in the 60's
Of course it all influences one another.

But if they gave us the same thing all the time we would accuse them of not being original... And we would get bored. IMO...

 

I never said trendy was a bad thing, I said nothing good seems to be trendy. Big difference.
I was just a kid in the 90s, but my brother was 8 years older and I was raised very much a 90s kid - I loved trendy then, and still love or like most of the stuff that was trendy.

Iunno, I'll take quality over "original" any day.
The problem isn't trends, so much as the trends being too short or too similar or too small.
Grunge/post-grunge lived out it's days (even though the mainstream stuff was never grunge any way =/), and that's fine. Thrash lived out it's days, and that's fine. Hair metal might've overstayed it's welcome a bit =P

But now the trends go so fast, or there are too many trends going at once - really, in metal I have a hard time figuring out what is trendy.
Or we get something akin to the two-party effect and all the trends sound the same. I can barely tell a difference between indie and pop and pop-punk at times - same with rock and screamo; screamo and metalcore.
Is melodic death metal still trendy?
Folk metal? (I love me some Korpiklaani)
Or is it all metalcore and grindcore right now?

 

I have never once thought that BTBAM was metalcore lol

 

i don't really see 'hardcore' in their music, so therefor they are not metalcore.............. metalcore? come on now... that is like veil of maya, born of osirus, winds of plague...

 

yeah, I agree.
