yeah thats why i prefer the classical. i find it gets me in the right frame of mind

 

[lunarpetals]

depends on the mood as well. i too am a metalhead, and here\'s what i listen to when i paint (speed paint ):

to pump me up: power, melodic death metal, metalcore

Avantasia
Children of Bodom (\'follow the reaper\' album only)
As I Lay Dying
All That Remains
Demon Hunter

for long, windy durations: progressive, progressive symphonic metal

Symphony X
Dream Theater

for metal with \"class\": symphonic metal
my personal favorite: Kamelot!!!!


amon amarth is cool as well, i just don\'t dig the whole \"viking\" theme :s

Barstool - don\'t know which recording you have of Holst\'s \"Planets,\" but my favorite is the Chicago Symphony Orchestra recording with Levine conducting... uber knock you out of your seat brass!
I find the music really doesn\'t matter because it\'s in the background just lingering, I usually just pick a random album and hit play. Most of the time it\'s more classic rock and pop music, and I save the metal for when I\'m running or working out~~
:beer:
btw good playlist nick232!

Eh, for me it depends on the mood I\'m in really..

Usually it\'s:

Dragonforce
Nightwish
Edenbridge
Hammerfall
Xandria
Kamelot

Any sort of heavy/symphonic metal.
I also like to throw in some:

Journey
Queen
Most 80\'s rock really.

Classical music I like to save for when I study.

Amon Amarth is pretty cool, I have to agree. Saw them in concert last fall, along with some absolutely terrible opening bands like Belphegor

Anyway I usually just put on my 5 star iTunes playlist, which has everything from Bon Jovi to Foo Fighters, Johnny Cash, Radiohead, Weezer... tons of variety.

I\'ve been listening to a lot of Metric lately. The new album is pretty awesome, and well worth the wait since the last one.

Werent they with Ensiferum, Belphegor, and The Absence? I like all three! I\'m going to see them saturday with Goatwhore, Skeletonwitch and Lazarus AD.
In terms of painting though, I also sometimes listen to some Black Metal, Dimmu Borgir Gorgoroth, Mayhem, Immortal and Darkthrone. Oh and BEHEMOTH

I\'m a gamer (both miniature and video) too so I like to listen to popcasts while I paint.

Some of my favourite are:

Fell Calls (Warmachine & Hordes)
Iron Agenda (Warmachine & Hordes)
D6 Generation (General gaming podcast)
40k Radio (40k)
Podhammer (WFB)
Listen UP (1up.com\'s video game podcast)
Podtoid (Destructoid.com video game podcast)
Thac0 (RPGs by a number of the Fell Calls guys)
TapouT Radio (MMA Podcast)

 

[Mr Scream]

I said it before and I\'ll say it again and again, if its loud and fast its on my painting playlist

Megadeth
The Dwarves
Leeway

ahh you get the picture, its not a sophisticated list
