Cali Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 I was driving around with my friend yesterday and he was playing some "Eminem Show" on his cd player, and I was actually enjoying it!!! Don't worry though I'll never buy it, maybe I'll burn it if I get a chance, but I was laughing at his little skits, especialy when he just shoots that guy for no reason when he starts saying he heard the new album.... But I'm still not gonna go away from my metal roots! I did buy some quality stuff yesterday: Machine Head- Hellalive- horribly gay name for an album, but it was a damn fine live album, sounds f***ing great, and boy do they know how to put on a live show! This is It: The Best of Faith No More- ah great stuff, Mike Patton is such a damn good singer, it has a lot of the classics, like "Epic" "From out of nowhere" and a great cover of "Easy Like Sunday Morning" Which bring my new albums bought this year total to 4, which is probably a quarter of the number you've bought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets harder to keep up when one gets older, damn it. So keep posting about what you like because it clues me in as to what to look for when I go shopping for new music!

Bet you didn't think your posts were educational, did you? I did not know that my post we're educational, good to know. I am not really into the 80's metal, mainly 90's and up, and mainly "underground" stuff with the exception of a very bands (Alice in Chains-favorite of ALL time, Foo Fighters, Tool, Queens of the Stone Age) Now I have a reason to post what new albums I've bought this year, and nobody can stop me now!

cwsox Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 . I am not really into the 80's metal, mainly 90's and up something tells me in the 80s I was much older than you were! I was like the oldest person not a burn out at the Dio concert. Now I am the oldest guy burn out or not at the Eminem concerts. Some things never change! Just got tickets for the July Eminem show in Detroit, Missy Elliot and 50¢ on the bill. Very happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, I was only alive for the latter 6 years of the 80's, and I can't really say I was rocking out to Dio and Dokken in my crib Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiff Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 Mostly everything I listen to is punk, but I like the good rap because the good music no matter what genre has the same common elements. Good lyrics, good beats, creative tempo changes, mixing different styles and trying new things, stuff that really gets you going; these are not hard to find if you look in the right places. I was never a huge rap fan but Eminem's first album appealed to me because it was creative, and the songs had substance. Since then he has gotten a little less funny and a lot more angry but he can still crank out some of the best lyrics, and he has tried (obviously with the help of dre) to mix in different styles of music with his stuff, and that shows he isn't content churning out the same stuff over and over. You gotta respect him for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess cause I listen to metal, which is for the most part really angry :fyou (with the exception of the band listed in my sig and a few others) Eminems angry songs appealed to me, but I was still laughing my ass off at a lot of parts.

cwsox Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 Steff and cali, you both got it - some of the stuff is funnier as hell, some of it is angrier than anything and he has his reasons (don't we all) and he certainly experiments with different things - loved reading both your posts!
