A change

Posted by Prince Redon

I've changed my taste in music here lately...it used to be almost all Trance and not much else, but here lately I've gotten into CKY and HIM. I'm not sure why, I just kind of got hooked on it I guess.

Anyone else listen to either CKY or HIM?

pulling off the winged of a doomed metaphorically butterfly-resembling lover as if attempting "loves me, loves me not" on flower petals (seriously, Ville would find that inspiring)

HIM should become doom metal. Then their fans with heartagram tattoos (the ultimate "beware of dog" sign) would actually start dropping dead on the streets or something like that.

With that said, I don't mind some of their music - I like practically anything melodic that's not mainstream pop (except late Silverchair), but I can't help but think it's really insanely formulaic. I've heard that their latest album is their worst, too.

Better bands. Um, you'll definitely like late Katatonia and Paradise Lost, they're very atmospheric gothic metal (are there even any death vocals on the latest Paradise Lost album?) but heaps better than HIM. Kamelot may appeal also.

Im not a big fan of Him or CKY, you want to go for a change? How about Auschwitz Thunder Pig, or Circle of Dead Children. In all honesty, I hope HIM choose slit, and take it up the road becuase I could do with out them. My in-valid oppinion.

And I find HIM to be pretty terrible. So no, I don't listen to either.

Needs more symphonic/opera/etc. metal.

How come everytime I see HIM mentioned I see CKY as well? They're even having a concert in houston around the same time (if they're not on tour with each other?). Either way, I remember liking one song by HIM. CKY really isn't my thing and just about everything else I've heard by HIM has made me do anything but love it or see it as metal.

I'm not that heavy into them so settle down, I just said I kind of enjoyed their music...And on that note, *Bad Redon, Bad! No opinion for you!*[/color]

It's the whole Bam thing I think.

No, there are connections in the bands somehow I believe. I know Bams brother is the drummer for CKY and Bam is somehow connected to HIM...I'm not sure, how though.

Like their parallel sucking. HAHAHAHA, no really, Dream Theater dude.

lol, that last one is wrong though. It's more by association, it's like "hey, I like progressive metal, maybe I should check out some of the best-known progressive rock bands!"

That's how it was for me, anyway. If it helps, I don't consider Dream Theater to be extremely progressive (developmental) either. And if you think A Change Of Seasons rips off 2112, listen to Symphony X's The Odyssey, that practically cuts and pastes the entire song structure.

Thing is, even if you think Dream Theater are overrated, that shouldn't stop you from liking them, especially if you like progresssive music.
