Gotta love nice generic subjects (sue me, I couldn't think up anything snazzy).

So we all know that you come to det.net for the eye candy ... but what do you guys (and girls) listen to keep your ears happy?

I myself listen to just about anything, yeah I know it's a lame answer, but it's true. I happen to be getting a lot of techno lately. Including but not limited to: Rob Dougan, Roni Size, Photek, Underworld, Meat Beat Manifesto (gotta love the name :) and Amon Tobin.

Just kinda curious what the other det.net'ers out there like to jam to.

I'm into techno/trance music myself. Personally, I prefer stuff like 303 Infinity, Trance Control, The Cynic Project. For mainstream music, pretty much the only stuff I like is Eminem, Manson, NIN, and a few others.

LordBrandon: I thought of doing the same thing, then I realized that it would probably take up ten pages =D

It's always cool to know that people like the same music you do. Trance [] Control kicks serious ass. MMMMMM ... bass

I'll be shaking the house now.

I like the Techno, but I am pretty much into the mainstream kids, if there is a mainstream of techno. Fat Boy Slim (Better living through Chemistry, You've come along way. . . pretty much sux0rs) Chemical Brothers, and some Juno Reactor. I'm also a mad phat Ska fan. Big on The Hippos, Aquabats, and Reel Big Fish. Then there's the obligatory weird stuff, Frank Zappa and Pizzicato 5. Then the stuff that Sets you apart, I like Glenn Mill, Django Rheinhardt, and Duke Ellington. When I go out with my friends I usually listen to their music, because they can't stand mine.

they sure are, hel..
here are some lyrics..... translated by a program. so some words aren't recognized.. but you get the point......

-- Engel [Angel]

Live in virtue, no desire
In the grave an angels choir
You look to heaven and wonder why
No one can see them in the sky

Just as the clouds have gone to sleep
Angels can be seen in heavens keep
Alone in fear they question why
Goddamn not an angel when I die

Angels live, they never die
Apart from us , behind the sky
They´re fading souls who´ve turned to ice
So ashen white in paradise

Just as the clouds have gone to sleep
Angels can be seen in heavens keep
Alone in fear they question why
Goddamn not an angel when I die

-- Asche zu Asche [Ashes to ashes]

warm body, hot cross,
false verdict, cold grave,
on the cross I'm laying, they're driving the nails into me,
the fire washes the soul clean, and left over is a mouthful of...
ashes!

Ashes to Ashes

I'll return, in ten days,
as your shadow, and I will hunt you,
in secrecy I'll rise, and you'll beg for mercy,
then I'll knee in your face
and stick the finger into the...
ashes!

ashes to ashes
and dust to dust!


SORRY if its kinda long.. let me know and i'll chop out a song

I went to see Rammstein, to bad they got kicked off the stage for wearing ... duct tape and that's it. Really pissed me off they're the main reasons I went to that show. Just to let you know unless you know german you'll never really know the lyrics, most translation programs suck nuts. They get the words right most of the time, but they lose a lot of the meaning. Plus I think Rammstein sounds like shit in english, german sounds so much cooler.

Slate, that's not the english translation of Engel, it's the english version. One of the versions of the Sehnsucht CD has the Tracks Engel and Du Hast in english at the end (not listed on the CD. Hidden Maybe?

If you're looking for some twisted Lyrics, translate Buch Dich sometime. I was quite disturbed after I found out what that song meant. Speil mit mir doesn't sound all to nice, either. Anyway, Rammstein Kicks ass.

Oh, and here's my lame ass translation of the chorus of Engel.

When the clouds have first gone to sleep
man can see into heaven
We have fear and are alone
God knows I don't want to be an angel.

That's more of a direct translation, though.


Posted by Proteun on Jun. 02 2000,19:45
Rammstein rules. I once knew a couple that went to prom in a tuxedo and a dress made out of only ducttape, they didn't get kicked off. My mom took my Rammstein CD away after the Colombine HS incident, she also made sure that we didn't have any copies of doom laying around. She's afraid my little brother will grow up to be a Nazi-Psycho and shoot at people if he is allowed either of them. Moms, go figure.

-- Bück Dich [Bend Down]

Bend down I order you
Turning your face back from me too
I don't need to see it now
Bend down

A biped who is on all fours
I'll lead him down on the floor
In quick-step we move along
I'm so displeased
Now crawling backwards to meet me
Honey stains his tights so badly
I'm so displeased, Sadly displeased

Bend down...
Bend down...
Bend down...
Bend down...

I've no interest in the rest

The biped stuttered a short prayer
In fear of what I couldn't bear
Tried to bend down more and more
Tears we're running off to the floor

Bend down...
Bend down...
Bend down...
Bend down...

Bend down I order you
Turning your face back from me too
I don't need to see it now
Bend down, you know how

Bend down...
Bend down...
Bend down...
Bend down...

Bend down...

-- Spiel mit mir [Play with me]

We share a room and the bed
Brother dear please go right ahead
Brother dear come touch me here
Slide to me so close and near

By the bed a big black hole
In they jump all the sheep
Much too old but I count them still
But I cannot fall asleep

Past my navel in the bush
Waiting there white fantasies
Brother dear come hold me tight
And shake for me leaves from the trees

Play a game with me
Give me your hand and

Play with me - A game
Play with me - A game
Play with me - Cause we´re alone now
Play with me - A game
Father mother child

My brother dear hand in pain
He rolls back over once again
My brother helps me now and then
So that I may sleep again

Play a game with me
Give me your hand and

Play with me - A game
Play with me - A game
Play with me - Cause we´re alone now
Play with me - A game

Rammstein is pretty damned cool.

My music tastes seem to be very strange to many people. I love metal, hard rock and the like. I can't get enough of it. I love the beats and rythem of techno. Punk Rock is always fun and I think some rappers are just damned cool >=)

Though, I hate the metal/rap shit some bands put out. I like metal, rap, and techno, but I can't stand it when people try to mix it all up. It just doesn't sound right.

Bands I listen to:

Metallica
The Offspring
Korn
Godsmack
Pantera
Rammstein
Rage Against the Machine
Creed
Our Lady Peace
Big Wreck
Foo Fighters
Staind
Sugar Ray
Blink 182
Green Day
NOFX
MxPx
Goldfinger
Rancid
Choclair
Saukrates
Rascalz
Jay Z
Beastie Boys
Busta Ryhemes
Daft Punk
Basement Jaxx
Moby
etc... etc.. etc...

Yeah, that's Rammstein alright. I think they were all dropped on their heads when they were born, but the music is pretty good. And I agree the German sounds much better, it's a much harsher language than English and a lot is lost in the translation. Oh, well.

When I said they were wearing duct tape I meant they were only wearing a strip that was a few inches long ... if yah know what I mean

That's supposedly why they got kicked off the stage. How they got on, manage to play a few songs only THEN to get kicked off is beyond me. Either way that really really sucked nuts.

Other than that, anything, Beethoven, Metallica, 2pac, Vanessa Mae... etc..etc

When I still lived at home, my mom tried to make me get rid of my Marilyn Manson CD's, along with NIN, and others. I told her to try it. Then I threatned that if any of my stuff was missing, she would find a lot more of her shit missing. Ahh, the first step in getting kicked out.

Our Lady Peace kicks ass. One of the best drummers ever.


Posted by LazyGit on Jun. 03 2000,15:37
My tastes are pretty eclectic when it comes to music also and I'd just like to congratulate marc c on buying the best album from last year - DSV1.

You'll probably like it eng_man, it's got a bit of Radio Babylon in it by Meat Beat Manifesto (I think). Buy it, buy it now.

My favourite band's Prodigy but I'm into old-skool hip-hop (lovely hyphens), and even modern hip-hop (none of that Puff Daddy shit) and a tiny bit of house from Daft Punk (they're hip-hop influenced so they're okay).
cheers


Posted by jrh1406 on Jun. 10 2000,07:13
I like a wide variety of music, but i steer more towards techno and classic rock. Rush is my all time favorite band.


as far as rammstien goes, as far as my mom could figure out (she learned german in college) the english version of du-hast is totally mistranslated.


Posted by cr0bar on Jun. 10 2000,15:06
What? Nobody has mentioned Tool yet!
Off the top of my head:
Tool
The Prodigy
Astral Projection
Hallucinogen
Shpongle
Eminem
Hive
Orbital
Kinnie Starr
Massive Attack
Nirvana
NIN
Pitchshifter
Rage Against The Machine
Sepultura
Soulfly
Slayer
The Crystal Method
The 5th Element Soundtrack
Celtic Cross
Half-Life Soundtrack Track 9 (Diabolical Adrenaline Guitar)

Speaking of soundtracks, Fight Club and Akira are 2 good ones that come to mind.

I don' think i've seen the pumpkins anywhere. you can't help but like zero and bullet with butterfly wings. the zero single is pretty badass with some of the b-sides. I think that my cd player has pearl jam's ten, tchaikovsky's marche slave, and the bloodhound gang's hooray for boobies in it. so i have bits of everything in between with the exception of country.
Posted by Kolben on Jun. 10 2000,20:07
I think my taste in music is pretty wide. The only things I don't hear is country and jazz. My girlfriend even took me to see an opera and I was amazed. I can hear that too.

Soundtracks...Everything John Williams laid his hands on is worth listening to. That guy rules. Than there's the "Batman Returns" (I don't know why I like that, noone else does). And then the uuuuh soooo cool blues guitars in "From Dusk Till Dawn". The Vaughan Bros. rocks (rocked).

Other than that, the cd's on my shelf that aren't dusty are:
Pearl Jam - VS
Prodigy - Music For The Jilted Generation
Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness
DAD - Bad Crazyness
Metallica - Ride The Lightning+The black thing
Stevie Ray Vaughan & The Double Trouble - Texas Flood
Johnny Winter - Let Me In
Beastie Boys - Lisenced To Ill

WHAT? none of j00 hax0rs mentioned Radiohead? what the hell is wrong with you people!?

heres my favorite song from them (its short)

i get home from work and you're still standing in your dressing gown
well what am i to do?
i know all the things around your head and what they do to you.
what are we coming to?
what are we gonna do?

blame it on the black star
blame it on the falling sky
blame it on the satellite that beams me home.

the troubled words of a troubled mind i try to understand what is eating you.
i try to stay awake but its 58hours since that i last slept with you.
what are we coming to?
i just don't know anymore.

i get on the train and i just stand about now that i don't think of you.
i keep falling over i keep passing out when i see a face like you.
what am i coming to?
i'm gonna melt down.

blame it on the black star
blame it on the falling sky
blame it on the satellite that beams me home.

I'm agreeing with you totally. Frank Zappa is really cool. I too am a fan of ska/punk. I'm going to Warped Tour in Dallas this summer. Plus I'm going to see Less Than Jake in concert in Memphis.

I agree with most everyone here! I do some techno DJ'ing, although I'm not very good at it yet. I also play drums and sing in a Ska/Punk band. Proteun, you put some of the best: hippos, rbf, mad caddies (awesome horns), parka kings, suicide machines, and Radiohead, OLP, Catherine Wheel, Pink Floyd when i'm in a more calm mood.
