Dontfear Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Question 28: What do you like in music? Good music. Pretty much any genre, though as I get older I listen to less popular music and more traditional music (stuff like manouche, fado, roma, flamenco, etc). I'm approaching 10k songs across my 2 cloud stash spots now, I usually just put it on random. On guitar I play classical, blues, rock, country and I'm trying to pick up some manouche. Bass I mostly played professionally in a metal band, so I'm not very good outside those parameters - my physical skill is good but my knowledge is not. Unfortunately I don't have many recorded examples, but (long story) we finally got our demo digitized this year. It's from 1989 or 90, and pretty rough. I had been playing bass for around 6 months when we recorded it (I was originally 2nd lead guitar), and we ditched that drummer for a more progressive dude and moved to the west coast, aaand it was recorded live in a single take because we were broke. Drums I mostly play funk, rock and blues; I don't play fills well so stay away from metal but I heart guys like Brann Dailor (Mastodon) and Thomas Pridgen (Mars Volta) with lots of snare and fills. My singing voice I liken to a cross between Tom Waits and Howlin' Wolf...not too pretty. Hope to have some vocal work recorded soonish, my first scratch track turned out better than I thought (a very rough version of Angie by the Stones). you have the kind of voice I want. I have a pretty baritone. too pretty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CashWiley Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 To be honest, when I did my scratch track I was surprised at how high and clean my voice came out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGP Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) Question 28: What do you like in music?Easier to list what I don't like: Nickelback, Country, most Rap, and most current Pop music (excluding KPop, I like KPop). What is KPop and what is so dreadful about Nickelback? My play list: Alan Parsons Project Yes Moody Blues Pink Floyd Heart Manheim Steamroller ELO Will-Listen-To list includes: Boston, Queen, Genesis, NXS, ACDC, Nickelback, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bach, Beethoven, some Mozart, most Jazz. I'll join DSM in disliking Country & Rap and I'll add Opera (just the bits where someone sings; the overtures are excepted) ...and Motown.

Lars Porsenna Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 and what is so dreadful about Nickelback? Nickleback is like the muzak of the rock world. If you sweet old Gammy declared one day she listens to heavy metal music, she'll probably pull out a Nickleback album. In short, Nickleback is the most bland and unconfrontational rock bands playing these days, lacking any edge or emotional impact. IMHO of course.... :) Damon. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CashWiley Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 A band I dig (Postmodern Jukebox) started as a Nickleback satire band: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonator Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Question 28: What do you like in music? I don't.... I prefer the sound of silence...the radio in my car has never been turned on, and the only sound in my house is my pendulum clock striking the hours. I gave away all my CD's, and stereo equipment years ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmiles Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Perhaps I should also mention that I am very much into Nylon Pink. (Kaila Yu's got that Cherie Currie growl in her voice, and Jamie Scoles is a pretty dang good drummer.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talae Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I bounce all over the place but tend to go through certain playlists during certain moods or life moments. Also, this time of year is Christmas music. From the moment the radio starts playing it early November until they stop. Honestly, I would likely go into mid January but the crazy world refuses to agree with me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiniest rhombus Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I have ecclectic taste. I'll listen to just about anything if it is well done. Stuff I can live without, New country, most rap, religious rock. For your enjoyment 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Bedlam Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I'm not crazy about rap. I dislike country and tejano, because I grew up with the stuff, and very little else. And I really don't care for treacly Christian pop music.Aside from that, my tastes are pretty widespread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Jack Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I've gotten to see Jake Shimabukuro play live... That man could play speed metal on that thing and make it sound good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky, color me jealous. I recommend checking out Aldrine Guerrero if you havn't and enjoy the ukulele. He's pretty dang good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
