^ If you're into symphonic metal, check out Amberian Dawn, they're a great symphonic/power metal fusion.

Don't get me wrong... I've seen Amberian Dawn when they were touring with Epica, and I really found them surprisingly... crappy. Like the guitarist barely knew how to play his instrument, the drummer kinda dull and slightly out of sync... Not gonna say anything about the vocals, as they're a rather objective matter.
Dunno. It might've been the God awful acoustic job that was (or wasn't actually...) done in that place (a damn disgrace for Epica's first-time in Poland :/), some right-before-the-gig action, their overall ability for live performance or whatever... But sadly they seemed seriously bad for me at that time.

As for me? Uhh... lotsa stuff. Guess I could just link my Last.fm profile (the only 'social' site that I'm not disgusted with), but that one is actually rather new and overflooded with my recent addiction with Delain and Horner (oh well, I will anyway: here you go)...

I definietely love both metal and classical music, so being mad about symphonic metal would be rather obvious. (note to txelan_tompa: WT could be, but Lacuna I really wouldn't call 'symphonic metal' ;)) The one band that I've already mentioned about twice would be Epica, which is very much an epitome of that madness of mine. And hey... you simply CANNOT resist the lure of a redhead like Simone. Looks of the lead singer having nothing to do with how great the band is is bullsh*t xD

Other than that, my tastes are rather varied. From gothic to death (I certainly do prefer melodic death over, say, Behemoth tho), everything metal works for me. Same with rock, with what I like to call 'Canadian fanrock' (even tho the bands aren't actually from Canada anyway) the type of Nickelback, Three Days Grace or Theory of a Deadman, along with more classic bands like Nirvana, Pink Floyd and The Doors. I really like folk as well, so 'inbetween' creations like folk/pagan/viking/your mom metal hits the spot just as nice as the above paragraph's symphonic metal. A little punk maybe. Also things more industrial, alternative, experimental. Weird music is so weirdly... weird.

Some pop and jazz. Beautiful voices and powerful, emotional songs are still beautiful, powerful and emotional even if it's not something your grandma would burn you on a stake for.

I really have a hard time making an overview. I could talk all day long about music, you know, and I wouldn't be halfway done.

^ Huh... Well, I've never seen them live, I've just heard there albums, but I'll take your word for it.  Some bands are like that, they have a good sound in recording, but they're horrible live (Dragonforce?).  Oh well, even if they can't pull off a live show, I still enjoy their albums; I like their sound, and I really enjoy the vocals.

Point taken :) I guess I just club those bands together because I see them in my mind as one genre... I thing (shockingly) It's because they're female fronted and metally. :S

I can't see any art in some music ... that's the point. Tomorrow, books are written by machines!?

Life in itself is a tragic piece of art. You have to see and no one can teach you to see.
But who build the machines, the artist of the steel and digital. The poet of binary and machine languages.

Things like techno and other stuff of that type just can't be art/music in any possible sense. Today if You want to make music (without any experience), You just download some programs and just click. JUST CLICK?! That can't be art. In '60s You had to buy a instrument (except the vocalist case; but how many musicians were playing instruments and how many were vocalists?), then learn playing on it 'till the masterpiece level and then if You had luck You were in. So:
Techno    -few secs and the s*** is ready.
Real music-few years and You've got what You deserved. Something that You don't only can listen to longer then five secs, but something that You WANT TO LISTEN FOR HOURS.

That's exactly my opinion.... 300 Years ago, a popular musician like Beethoven or Mendel worked for 2 years on one piece of music. Then maybe 25 people had to practice their instruments for 50 years, and THEN you could play the opera or the orchestra. Today, a typical song by one of those pop-singers is written in 2-4 hours?!?

300 years ago a lot of people where also killed because of the art they created.
With culture art changes and even if you do not believe that song created by "a button" is not art to you it is a beautiful story to another. I for one love the journey of trance and techno. It gives my mind thought and creativity. Just because I do not appreciate someones else's taste does not mean I do not believe it is beautiful to them.

It's just thinking and writing; it's not as much creativity as just problem-solving.

Grey

Yeah, pretty much everything, exept of Hip Hop and electronic stuff.

All that symphonic stuff, mostly finnish:
Nightwish, Within Temptation, Leaves Eyes, just Tarja Turunen, HIM, the Rasmus...

Irish:
from Lord of the Dance to The Dubliners and from Flogging Molly to Thanateros!

just some Rock (who will hate me for all that mainstream?)
Three Days Grace, Green Day, My chemical romance, Billy Talent and so on

some German stuff:
Rammstein, Die toten Hosen, In Extremo, Subway to Sally

and a few things that wouldn't fit in:
Rhianna, Peter Fox, Samael-On Earth, Aloha from Hell, a little bit of Lunascape

and many many more....


R.I.P Puma D. Ace
