i never would've expected it, but the finnish cello metal rocked the fucking house tonight. best show in a while. that is all.
-
Never would've expected?! I both expected them to rock and was pleased by their rocking last night . . . amazing show, amazing group.
Eyes for Fire didn't do it for me, just a bit too . . . heavy . . .
Edit: Any musical selections for someone who enjoys Apocalyptica? Thanks in advance.

It's one thing to make snarky comments to regular posters, it's another thing to be a prick to new posters.

Ok, I'm sorry.

Yes, it's much more acceptable to be insulting to people you know than people you don't know.

Just out of curiousity, who does Xavier Bush play for?

Actually, it is.
If "Wayne" responded to me like that, it really wouldn't faze me because I know he is generally flippant and I would see the humor in it. I don't think that someone who is posting here for the first time would necessarily take it in the same vein.
-
So we must conclude that someone who posts here for the first time is without humour and would be blindsighted if someone made a flippant comment toward them on an internet chatboard? Do you really think the general (most likely under 40) population is truly that emotionally fragile?

i actually thought it was a metal band's name.

Hey Spook, what about Apocalyptica does it for you? If it is the cellos you might want to check out Rasputina who play cellos but not necessarily in a "rock" vein. If it is the strings and rock in general you might want to check out some New Model Army especially "Thunder and Consolation". Those are the two that jump out to me. In my estimation that was certainly the excellent surprise show of the year so far.
-
DeVotchka is another classic stringed or Chamber type of band that is worth checking out.
I was just listening to Thunder And Consolation the other day. A friend of mine is a major New Model Army fan and decided to upgrade his collection and gave me all of his old NMA CDS along with a Catherine Wheel double. Lucky me! :D
-
Definitely agree on that one (see my Bumbershoot review).
Too bad they are not booked for DC this Fall.

I think it was Apocolyptica who scored Your Friends and Neighbors entirely with Metallica covers.
-
Is there a heavy metal Lyre band?
How about Glockenspiel?
Sousaphone?

It was. Creative bunch, eh?
-
There needs to be a heavy metal version of this (http://soundwavs.trekkieguy.com/3/65/bitter.wav).
I'd buy that for a dollar!

there're a couple of metalcore bands w animals for vocalists. Hatebeek uses a parrot and Caninus a bulldog. They made a split 7" that my dj partner picked up for me in Bmore

Which kicked serious ass, too. Controversial opinion, Catherine Keener is hot.

That is some funny stuff.

Once upon a time Rasputina was pretty cool (like in 1998), but the last time I saw them (opening for Belle and Sebastian in 2003) they SUCKED. They were really good when they had the drummer from Alice Donut playing with them (the one that looked like Sideshow Bob).
-
I must agree that the show rocked and I was pleasantly surprised. In fact I'm rocking to them right now.

dude, please, is that really necessary?
isn't all music good, just good to different people?
i bet rasputina are very hard working people who went up on stage and gave it their best shot, who are we to speak badly of them?
-
Oops...my bad!
-
Please, no negative comments about Rasputina. Eddie (the original poster) might be spooked away and never come back, thus losing out on his opportunity to be part of a pretty darn cool community.

I don't know, I've seen them at least a half dozen times. Sure they were really good back in 98 when they were doing the whole darkwave/goth thing and appealing to that audience. However, they played the Black Cat last year with Minus the Bear and put on an excellent show. Looking forward to seeing them on Saturday after hitting Bender for DJ? Acucrack ;)
Also for you cello freaks check out Murder By Death. Another kick ass band with a hot chick playing cello ;) One of her cellos has "Eddie" airbrushed on it from Iron Madien!

Jag: Catherine Wheel...beautiful music. Let's keep it a secret from the others, okay? BTW: Did you ever give Engineers a listen? What think you? If Apocalyptica turned on the fans the other night, these bands might provide a break from harder stuff too...

i dont think Catherine Wheel are much of a secret. are they even still around. I saw them a few times in the 90's.
"Black Metallic" is one of my all time favourite songs....

nkotb: [after much prodding by econo] Ok. The best fuck I ever had. That would be your wife. That was the best fuck I ever had.
econo: That beats my story.

aren't Chatherine Wheel one of the giants of the shoegaze world and even flirted with mainstream success stateside? why would they be a secret from anyone?

i had a friend that lived in britain during the height of the shoegaze scene and marvelled at the "success" of catherine wheel in the states in comparison to the u.k.

I LOVE Catherine Wheel. How is Rob's LP? I thought the last CW record was disappointing, too bad, they were an incredible band for a while there. They also had the world's nicest bass player.

What Catherine Wheel albums come most highly recommended? I've heard about them for a while, but somehow missed 'em.

Good GOD, go pick up Chrome RIGHT NOW, TODAY. (Sorry, just a knee-jerk reaction...that's only one of the best records I own, an album that even now blows me away and I listen to every couple of weeks.) God I wish I was discovering something lately as good as that. It's just one of those LPs that stands up over the test of time.
-
I second the 'Chrome' endorsement. 'Ferment' is also excellent (and not just for Black Metallic).
Avoid 'Wishville' like you would the plague
-
Only 2 decent songs on Wishville...Lifeline and Mad Dog.
Ferment KILLS too. I also have all the Ferment-era b-sides (some pretty rare stuff), so if anyone would like a trade or sorts, let me know. Really, really great stuff. I would have switched out some of Happy Days with the b-sides (Backwards Guitar for example should NEVER have been a b-side). Adam & Eve has some good moments.

LOVE Catherine Wheel. And agree with the others about starting off with Chrome and Ferment. Such quality music, imho. I even like Wishville but, yeah, not their best work.
Yes, I'm well familiar with Engineers and have a couple of their CDs. Quite good. It killed me to have to miss them when they played the 9:30 Club last Fall, or whenever it was.
