When I was like 15 I listend to all kinds of Sesamestreet-Speedmetal such as Rhapsody, Hammerfall, that kind of stuff. But I\'ve grown out of that (Thank God or whoever\'s responsible). And I really couldn\'t listen to that while painting minatures anyway. I\'d start laughing every few seconds because of the rediculously silly lyrics. I vividly remember one part on a Rhapsody CD about a warrior and his friend the dragon who dies. They\'re trying so hard to make the listener cry, but all that comes are tears of laughter. I wonder is Rhapsody still active? Do people still listen to that stuff?

Why do people think that growing up means abandoning the things you enjoy? Maturity is recognizing what you like, liking it, and ignoring what everyone else says you are \"supposed\" to like. Doesn\'t mean you can\'t experience and embrace new things as well.

Sorry Gypsy, nothing personal, just my typical ranting against anything resembling culturized/socialized behavior and pre-concieved notions of what is intellectual and mature (arbitrary terms, as most are)

I am glad you said that. Makes me feel better about never having cancelled my comic subscription which I have had since 1978

I like Primeval\'s point, when I was young I was continually hounded by my parents to stop listening to this or that row but for all their badgering it never stopped me from buying and enjoying the things I like.
My older son is very much into the new metal/punk of today and bearing in mind the persecution that I endured as a young lad would or have never critiscised his tastes it\'s the diversity of choice that helps to make us what we are, by the way Finn what comics are those I still have all my Star Wars Weeklies\' I loved that comic.

Yeah... alot of power metal is cheesey... BUT I STILL LOVE IT! :flip:

Jason Newsted left because yeah, James\' ego was too big and they\'d bullied him for years. Not anything mean or serious but many things small make one big. So he got sick of it. New bass player Rob Trujillo ain\'t bad at all

Sounds like he never got over the \'new guy\' status. Big shoes to fill after Cliff!

Too damn right!!! I did exactly what Gypsy did, and sold off all my old records and CD\'s years ago because I thought I\'d grown out of metal. 5 years later, guess what? Yeah I remembered all the stuff I\'d once enjoyed and have been gradually replacing it ever since! Still some growing up to do Gypsy!

 

[tidoco2222]

I have found that buy selling off things that were easy to get hold of at the time they were originally bought, when it comes to replacing them more often than not there is always the odd cd,comic,book whatever that has been deleted or gone out of print/production and you end up paying more for it in the end on places like e-bay or collectors fairs or you just sit and hope that one day someone re-issues your sought after treasure. Growing up costs.

 

[Sturmhalo]

Yeah, wish I\'d kept my original MFN release of Megadeth\'s Killing is my business... ! The one with \'These Boots\' on. The re-master\'s great except for the edited version of Boots. Quite pricey these days on CD, if you can find it!!!

2000ADs I didn\'t keep the earlier ones...1-100 or so, but I still have (at least) one copy of every other issue. Half fills a garage:flip:

 

[tidoco2222]

I know what yo mean I have the same problem my SWW\'s fill half our loft space and all my White Dwarf magazines take up a large part of the book cases in the living room.

I used to have lots of fairly old WD\'s. Issue 109 to issue whatever it was in the early 90\'s when it went through its shite period (and I stopped buying it!). About 4 years ago I had a massive clearout and threw them all out. About a year later got back into GW and wished I hadn\'t binned them all!

 

[tidoco2222]

I can\'t say I was there from the start as it was a friend of mine that first showed me the mag however I was impressed with what I read bearing in mind that there wasn\'t really anything else. I bought my first WD issue 7 and just kept getting it ever since. It\'s great to look back and see the changes that have taken place and the development in the painting side of the hobby from their point of view. I think issue seven cost me about 50p back then. I would like to get issues 1-6 though to complete the collection. Anyway time for me to sign out and go to work. See ya later.

Don\'t know. Do they?



@Calavera
Love Opeth. The first time I did check out Blackwater Park I thought it was fantastic until the grunts and growls came. But I learned to appreciate that over the years.
Still think that Elegy from Amorphis is one of the bestest metal albums ever. I sometimes catch myself washing the dishes humming one or the other melody. Contagious.

 

[frenchkid]

Nightwish is really a great band, definetly check it if you haven\'t. Their last CD is just perfect and over the hills was great too. That singer as one of those voice just amazing. Metal band with symphonic orchestra and opera singer what more too ask
And for all the rock lovers out there, check out Indochine for some really cool french rock, songs to listen too from them would be: Marylin, Mao Boy, Electrastar, Popstitut.....well all of them actually

Both great bands Gypsy - saw both of them here in concert last year (or was it the year before? old age is rough..) \"The Way\" by Amorphis has to go on my list of favorite metal songs.

 

[Primeval]

I think Opeth has been mentioned a couple times, and I don\'t know how I could have failed to mention one of my favorite groups along with them. if you like Opeth, Agalloch is worth checking out. Hard to describe, but great stuff. Elements of black metal, prog, folk, neo-classical... they do an awesome version of \"Kneel to the Cross\" by Sol Invictus.

 

[tidoco2222]

It has been interesting reading the posts left by other members, so many bands that I have never listned to, it gives me more to look out for in the future.
My favourite all time two bands and they have been mentioned before are Judas Priest they have influenced heavy metal for many years and hopefully will continue to do so. Check out albums like British Steel, Unleashed in the East, Defenders of the Faith, Painkiller, and also Magnum a completely different sound great melodic rock with some fantastic lyrics try listening to Chase The Dragon, Eleventh Hour, On A Story Tellers Night, plus any Bob Catley (aka Magnum vocalist) solo albums, The Tower, Legends, Middle Earth and When Empires Burn albums that contain to me truly inspirational music to listen to whilst dabbing the old paint brush about.

at first i saw the PIM and thought it was me IPM...

but i answered in the other thread...

 

[Grizzix]

Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, Mofro, Bloodhound gang(if in the right mood), Iron Maiden, Violent Femmes, White/Rob Zombie, Suicidal Tendencies, etc. . . i listen to lots of different things when i paint.

 

[JohnC]

I listen to a lot of stuff too, from mile-long compilations on MP3 disks to whatever CD I can throw in the computer in my paint room. Somehow, Thin Lizzy, the Marvelous 3/Butch Walker, the Secret Machines, Joss Stone, and the Queens of the Stone Age always stay in the rotation.

Have you guys heard of \"Music for Hammering\", by John Bergin? It was available for download on the 40kkonversions website (now sadly I think it\'s down). A great one to get into the painting 40k gaming mood.

 

[Sturmhalo]

If you just want to listen to more atmospheric music whilst painting, try Scanner (not the HM band! This is a guy called Robin Rimbaud), or Throbbing Gristle. Scanner\'s pretty easy on the senses but TG is more like a journey into Hell sometimes. Give TG\'s \'Second Annual Report album a listen!
