I didnt get a word of what you were saying

And you called AMOLAD bad? Wow. Just Wow. Its not a great album, yes, but it's not all bad. How can you expect a "Number Of The Beast" every time?

IMO, Brave New World is the only album that can be referred to as "comeback" album. El Dorado is not that great (single from latest album)

I started my ROCK career kind of like this.

Prastah:
Hear some of Iron Maiden's initial albums. Stuff like 7th Son of a 7th Son, Powerslave, Number of the Best, No Prayer for the Dying. The twin-lead attack is just awesome. Try to hear Ryme of the Ancient Mariner -- 13-14 minutes of bliss, with Dickson singing, excellent leads.

Grunge, basically. I skipped it.

Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????

Yes, grunge.I was probably in 11th standard at that time,RSJ featured an article on Nirvana,I searched about hundred record stores in kolkata for Nevermind and finally bought it from a firang tourist near Indian Museum.

Same here. Dont know why everybody was gaga over Cobain

 

[Psychosocial]

Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????

Same here. I mean did listen to Nirvana but I was never a fan. Especially not of Cobain.

Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????

cobain's antics were greater than his music -->fact 1

Pearl Jam>>>>>Nirvana -->fact 2

both suck --> fact 3

alice in chains,soundgarden and puddle of mudd (post-grunge) are some decent listens though.

Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????

Yeah.... seeing lots of these kids wearing Nirvana T-Shirts, I decided to give it a try. It seemed like Nu Metal minus most of its pop-ish crap. No solos, even the few that exist are just improvisations on the riff or the vocals. BOSS DS-1 or ProCo RAT distortion sound. A clean intro riff played with distortion after a few seconds.... I guess they could be catchy to those who like such stuff. But to me, Nirvana felt just like "Another Decent Band".

PS: Rape Me is awesome

EDIT: @ red dragon:

Dude... I think you should try out stuff like Black Sabbath's The Devil Cried. Also see their new album (As Heaven and Hell) The Devil You Know. That's the only place you can find stuff close to Black Metal but with philosophical lyrics which are not growled.

Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????

Isn't Black Sabbath a more of traditional heavy metal/doom band ? I mean whatever I have heard of Sabbath surealy made me think that.

No no u misunderstood me, i didn't say tat AMOLAD is bad, I liked it very much....infact i preview every album before i buy the original CD....Its just tat my friends didn't like it( who were mostly pop & rap fans... )

Well it is. But particular songs, which are unusually heavy by black sabbath standards, fall in the exact category red dragon seems to be asking for. Esp The Devil Cried. VERY heavy guitars, its doom metal but then it could also be part-philosophical in lyrics, Dio's vocals which are heavy but NOT screams/growls.

And maybe those RARE slayer songs which have nice lyrics AND YET keep the same musicianship might also fall into his territory.

Seriously, red dragon sent me to do a musical scavenger hunt with his demands

Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????

@MetalHeadGautham :- Well I don't remember the Devil Cried. I will listen to it today. I was never much into Sabbath.

@red dragon :- I have the perfect thing for you. Pagan Altar. Hell yeah!

Okay so anyone into tech death ?

My recent discoveries :-
Demilich
Pavor
Augury
Obscura

Try them out.

BTW, MetalheadGautham... can you rename this thread to 'The Metal/Rock Discussion Thread'. We can recco each other bands and help evolve interest in rock and metal. The thread will have more credibility and I am tired of having so less people to talk about metal with.

 

[MetalheadGautham]

Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????

^^LOL... there was a thread like this earlier I think. Remember ? "All Metalheads Here!" thread.
Why don't you start posting there ? I had put up a lot of stuff there but it was before you joined the forum

And I think this is a nice place to discuss "indian rock/metal scene".

 

[Psychosocial]

Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????

Oh yeah almost forgot about the thread. It's a shame such threads die soon. Your idea's good. Turn it into an Indian rock/metal thread .

Thanks Gautham & psychosocial for your suggestions,Sabbath was a personal fav but sabbath stone was the last album I listened,will try heaven and hell.Slayer is great,but they are not death.
@ xterminator,I didnot use the word grunge because it is a dirty word today,just like glam metal.BTW I tend to agree with you for the first time,Alice in chain is the best grunge band,even after the death of their iconic frontman,Jerry Cantrell is still going strong.
Grunge was not a great musical movement but it successfully killed the meaningless glam metal of early and mid90s.

kill this thread.

there was a thread like this earlier I think. Remember ? "All Metalheads Here!" thread

ye back when you joined this forum and were advocating meh-talika to death

Re: Is Rock Culture on its verge of extinction ????

Since the original topic of this thread has served its purpose, and this thread seems to be leading elsewhere, I figured it might be best to merge it with the original metal thread
