Where is Everybody? by Nine Inch Nails

"Druid" by Orphanage. good luck.

I Saw it. (get it?) Went to see it at a sneak screening here and was pleasantly surprised...definitely in the vein of Se7en in its stylistic lighting and such. A lot of twists...the first few kinda predictable, the last a complete "holy shit"...all in all, good suspense, some good killin' and some nice gore....I'd say an 8 outta 10.

I heard the whole album a few days ago and it's probably the only album of theirs I'll actually buy since Dookie and Insomniac. Reaaly solid album. Concept album too which always holds a place dear to my heart. One thing I noticed and seriously....listen to it and tell me if i'm wrong. The song "Jesus of Suburbia"...the chorus is EXACTLY taken from Bryan Adams' "Summer of 69"...the melody of it...I swear. Not only that but there's a section where Billie says over and over "I don't care if you don't".....now, I know he said they're huge Cure fans, but come on........

Still think it's crazy how much ppl are paying...I wasn't even a MG fan from way, way back like some of you. I really only got into him during Beautiful Midnight so I naturally bought Loser Anthems when it was released....why don't all of you have it?

Or the ol' fake ID if you're a minor. Unless it's a seedy doorman...then just wear your boobs and it's a go.

West Side Story

Today the 3 most powerful people in the U.S. are named Bush, Dick, and Colon. Makes me think......

You're either gonna think when it's over that it was worth it watching it just to experience it and have a few good laughs, or wanna go back to the store and beat the clerk senseless for letting you walk out with it......so that's how you know it's good. No grey area. Grey area bad.

Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden p.s. NIN and The Cure within the last few answers?....that's money.

Come As You are - Nirvana

feeling sexy

it starts off rather slow, but about half way to 2/3 through it, it becomes insanely nuts...truly a Coen film...you'll understand that sentiment when you do see it.

Just saw the Coen film tonight...thought it was funny as hell. I'm all about black comedies though. Stuff like this and Clue are money for me. thoughts on it?...Ladykillers that is...not money.

A Touch of Red - In Flames

heard about it when it happened....is it me or are they all dying really young?...49, 52, and now 55?...man.

For the most part agreed.....I only travel to see a band i REALLY need to see live...hell my friends and I drove to Indio, CA for the coachella festival just to see kraftwerk, radiohead, and the Cure. If it was just some band that I'd love to see but not 'go the distance' so to speak...ain't happenin'.

Well, saying that Rammstein records in english can be viewed 2 ways....selling out commercially, or to not ignore their english speaking fans. Just as gothic rock being occasionally dismal and bleak can be viewed 2 ways...that some will think its "whiny" and some will see it as an artist not doing something for the commercial aspect of it, but it's because it's what they believe. In addition, the fact that in your opinion the aforementioned bands "never caught on" is just a term that I hear from the common listener....if it's not on MuchMusic, or on the radio, then I've never heard of it...they must've not caught on. It's a shame that there's so few of us that see good music for good music...not just because it "caught on".

I saw Sigur Ros there.....it's more of a theater than an arena...I'd say it's a good venue for an artist like this...we sat for SR but I just can't see myself sitting through a rock show like MG.

Some interesting points, and some untruths. First, for many artists, as well as myself and others who agree...having money isn't the first sign of success. While you may feel this to be a strong front runner, I cannot. Britney Spears has a ton of cash, so it means nothing artistically......which brings me to my point. The fact that a band becomes successful and they, or him/her, are unhappy with certain things i.e. Manson, Robert Smith, Ian Curtis, etc. is a moot point. As far as I can remember, from reading his interviews, seeing him live, reading his lyrics, or even hanging out with him, Marilyn Manson never had, or claimed to have, a problem with his "parents understanding him"...but anyways. The fact that someone as 'depressing' and 'mopey' as Marilyn Manson are successful is that they are doing their part to show...as you put it "the world it's ugly side that it doens't like seeing in itself." Hence, MM's lyric "i am your shit...you should be ashamed of what you have eaten"...Manson's born and bred American, and it shows. Secondly, I am aware that Live aus Berlin was a live album...but as for your quote of gothic rock all 'being done before', let me list off the bands that were doing what Rammstein shamelessly lends for themselves...long before they were around. Throbbing Gristle Cabaret Voltaire Einstuerzende Naubauten VNV Nation Skinny Puppy Christian Lunch KMFDM I could go on disproving the bash at gothic rock as being the only genre that has been 'all done before'...but I'll fall asleep before listing off the bands that were Rammstein before Rammstein was Rammstein. Lastly, you say that if Rammstein wants commercial success stateside, they'd just record in English....well if I'm reading correctly, I can get Du Hast and a whole slew of other tracks of theirs.......recorded in plain english. Shame Rammstein......shame indeed. end of rant.

Sorry...we had 2 copies sitting on the shelf f o r e v e r....I had mine the day it came out and never thought of picking the other 2 up....curses. Someone came in and bought them both. On a side note, they're all numbered to something like _ of __ ___ ( i think it was pressed 35,000 times ) and mine is number 7. oooooooooooooh, crazy.......not really.

Well, Pavel, being in 4 bands, and working in music stores for the past 5 years, I'd wager that I know more about Rammstein than the average listener. As for the 4 main albums, namely herzeleid, sehnsucht, live aus berlin, and mutter....their sound does not develop. A band must strive to maintain a core theme and meaning while ever-changing not to keep 'current' but to show various facets of the message that is being given. Rammstein fails to change enough from album to album. Marilyn Manson achieved this with his triptych...completely different themes with a recurring storyline under all 3 albums. Even Madonna in all her pompous glory changes her theme while maintaining a central theme of decadence, lust, etc. However, the gothic culture of music...namely the REAL stuff...Joy Division, Bauhaus, The Cure...not HIM or AFI...the theme of "angst" as you put it, is somewhat incorrect. The term of teen angst is an oxymoron. I feel that only adults know true angst. There's a great difference between 'whining' and seeing the world from a different perspective than the "all is well" commercial view on this planet that people would want you to see it as...being a Matt Good fan, I am somewhat baffled that a fan cannot see the world for how it really is instead of following a band that relies heavily on an aspect of foreign cultures being 'different' and a stage show that is nothing more than pyrotechnics and 808 rhythms that are HEAVILY influenced by bands like Funker Vogt and Einstuerzende Neubauten, who in turn claim that Joy Division is a main influence. Thank you...end of rant.

Being the resident goth music fanatic. I'll compile a list of do's (namely cds I have and bands I love) and don'ts (namely nu-metal and other crap).... DO: Joy Division, The Cure, Assemblage23, This Mortal Coil, Bauhaus, Black Tape For A Blue Girl, Legendary Pink Dots, Apoptygma Berzerk, Type O Negative...even things like Cradle of Filth, NIN, Manson (it is allowed...), VNV Nation or Velvet Acid Christ...) DON'T: Disturbed, KoRn, Orgy, Rammstein (unless you're 15 and still think that cliched angry Germans are cool), HIM, AFI, etc.

LOL "Cop Killer" - Ice-T

Good advice, though the movie was in fact...ass. In addition, I've never seen such moves on the rink. The way she handled that puck was like magic........
