The vids just don't do 'em justice. Much better vocals+more vibrant guitar in the studio releases. (Albums, EPs, Singles, etc) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan_Laurel 2 Posted September 9, 2014 Well I listen to Melodic Death Metal. Bands like Scar Symmetry , Dark Tranquility , Solution .45. They manage to create a sound that's out of this world and the instruments are awesome. Also the lyrics in their songs are very well structured and very well grounded . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uq9Sh2qZNj4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha2kqAZ73eg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7X7HpcqM3s 1 1 1 FacepalmMute, realBelloWaldi and DrLee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FacepalmMute 2 Posted September 9, 2014 I haven't been able to enjoy any sort of straight up metal lately. All I've been listening to a lot lately is pop and chaotic hardcore/metalcore. Shit like Converge and Architects and Every Time I Die. feels bad man ;~; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FacepalmMute 2 Posted November 6, 2014 Today I would like to present a small thing I like to call "What-Could-Have-Been Thursday Rock edition" Today our subject is... Fall Out Boy. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Ew, Fall Out Boy? What are you, 13?" The truth is, these guys are probably overly misjudged. A lot of people think they sold out pop punk along with the likes of bands like blink 182. The truth is, I think these guys had a much better idea what pop punk was compared to bands like blink 182. What most of their critics don't know is that all members of the band have roots in the midwest hardcore and metal scene. All four members were part of hardcore groups prior to Fall Out Boy. Pete Wentz and Joseph Trohman were part of Chicago metalcore band Arma Angelus along with Tim from Rise Against. Patrick Stump, the singer for Fall Out Boy was a drummer for the band's last few shows. Andy Hurley was in a band called Racetraitor, which was a politically charged powerviolence band. And if you know anything about powerviolence, its pretty fucking heavy compared to most other subgenres of hardcore punk. All members are friends with Every Time I Die, a pretty chaotic hardcore band, and Pete did guest vocals for one of their songs. Patrick did guest vocals for both Misery Signals, a Wisconsin metalcore band and Weekend Nachos, a Chicago-based powerviolence band. Chad Gilbert, the guitarist for New Found Glory provides harsh vocals on the song "I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy..." Some folks might not know that Mr. Gilbert is also a veteran vocalist for progressive hardcore/metalcore band Shai Hulud (which I highly recommend you guys check out). Now, you might be asking, okay, what the fuck does this have to do with "What-Could-Have-Been" Thursday? I'm glad you asked! I just mentioned a song by the band, . This is what could have been. Fall Out Boy's first album was honestly awkward as FUCK. I can't stand listening to it now, and whenever I feel like listening to it, I can't listen to the whole thing in one sitting. Anyways, "From Under The Cork Tree", their second album, awkwardly improved what the first album couldn't do. They started nailing a pop punk sound. And one that had clear distinction that they knew their shit. Unfortunately, the album also suffered from the experimentation of adding pop rock elements to their sound. Not that its a bad thing, but to me it still sounds awkward as fuck to this day, at least to me. However, whenever Fall Out Boy did their pop punk stuff on this album, goddamn did they do it right, especially with this song. This is partially what makes me sad about Fall Out Boy, we'll never see them get any deeper into making music like this. While I still love the band and what they've been doing, I still get sad and a bit salty about the fact that we'll never see them fully realize their pop punk potential. What's even more salt on the wounds is that Fall Out Boy was supposed to be a SIDE PROJECT to Arma Angelus. Man, if that ain't depressing to hear, I don't know what is. Well, at least we got them exploring their hardcore punk roots with PAX AM Days, which was released to accompany Save Rock and Roll. And that concludes today's "What-Could-Have-Been Thursday". Join me next week when we discuss Tapeworm, a supergroup consisting of members of Nine Inch Nails and Tool! Fun fun fun! 1 DrLee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
