Inspirational music for painting?

[Harbringer of Doom]

I\'m planning to paint a Warriors of Chaos army, and found out that Amon Amarth\'s music was incredibly inspirational. It really got me \'in the Chaos mood\' because of all the lyrics about brutal warriors etc.

So, is there any music you always listen to when you are painting?

 

[Necroghast]

Hehehe same. Nice to see another person who appreciates death metal. Also: Ensiferum!

Some nice folk metal (no not Bob Dylan folk)

 

[starchaser1]

it has got to GUNS N ROSES

Reckon the ultimate cheese for this would be Man O War. Warriors of the world!

Don\'t listen to any music, but I always have discovery channel shows on (mythbusters, shark week), MacGyver, or Hitchhock movies on.

Mikey Dread has been getting a good few plays lately.

Peace and love...

Used to be Bolt Thrower.
Nowadays it\'s generally Alternative channel on XM.

 

[BarstoolProphet]

Lately, I\'ve taken to listening to classical music while I paint. Usually Holst\'s Planets album. Mars Bringer of War is my favourite.

Odd mix at the moment, UB40's greatest hits, Buena vista social club and other cuban music, Audioslave and Incubus......oh and Stargate on the TV, doesn't really get me in the Vampire counts mood but it does help with the boredom of batch skeleton painting

 

[alextheartist]

chamillionaire

Good lord, someone who actually plans a whole playlist for painting. I don't whether to laugh or cry!
