Old vs. New

oh I missed this part I jumped the gun. I thought you were saying the music back in the day was sh1t. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
Yes I will agree that Tool, and A Perfect Circle bring very very strong emotional ties to things in my life. I'm typing this as I'm listening to APC - Orestes //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif :laugh:

God no, I absolutely love classic rock, you should see my iTunes, filled with old stuff, also filled with new stuff. I like it all, except for most rap and all country.

I don't have anything by A Perfect Circle //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

if I could hand you my playlist I would. I have all 3 of the albums they put out. Wonderful music, very very different from Tool.

What's some other good newer progressive rock? I've been meaning to try and find a few new bands

I agree, there are the shitty bands/"musicians" like that who will be forgotten in 5 years and then theres the Tools, NINs, Mars Voltas, APCs, Dream Theaters who will be remembered 30 years from now just as fondly as we look back on the Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd era. I also have to throw another band out there that absolutely amazes me, The Moody Blues, I listen to "In Search of the Lost Chord" and am absolutely mesmerized.

Mars Volta reminds me a lot of Pink Floyd actually. There music has very similar, uhhh, riffs? Sounds? I suppose. I love the first album they put out, amazing CD.

Some say the end is near.

Some say we'll see armageddon soon.

I certainly hope we will.

I sure could use a vacation from this

Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of

Freaks

Here in this hopeless ****ing hole we call LA

The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.

Any ****ing time. Any ****ing day.

Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Fret for your figure and

Fret for your latte and

Fret for your lawsuit and

Fret for your hairpiece and

Fret for your prozac and

Fret for your pilot and

Fret for your contract and

Fret for your car.

It's a

Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of

Freaks

Any ****ing time. Any ****ing day.

Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Some say a comet will fall from the sky.

Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.

Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still.

Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits.

Some say the end is near.

Some say we'll see armageddon soon.

I certainly hope we will cause

I sure could use a vacation from this

Silly shit, stupid shit...

One great big festering neon distraction,

I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied.

Learn to swim.

Mom's gonna fix it all soon.

Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it ought to be.

Learn to swim.

**** L Ron Hubbard and

**** all his clones.

**** all those gun-toting

Hip gangster wannabes.

Learn to swim.

**** retro anything.

**** your tattoos.

**** all you junkies and

**** your short memory.

Learn to swim.

**** smiley glad-hands

With hidden agendas.

**** these dysfunctional,

Insecure actresses.

Learn to swim.

Cuz I'm praying for rain

And I'm praying for tidal waves

I wanna see the ground give way.

I wanna watch it all go down.

Mom please flush it all away.

I wanna watch it go right in and down.

I wanna watch it go right in.

Watch you flush it all away.

Time to bring it down again.

Don't just call me pessimist.

Try and read between the lines.

I can't imagine why you wouldn't

Welcome any change, my friend.

I wanna see it all come down.

I agree, music back then was awesome, I listen to Pink Floyd and am taken to another world, but I listen to Tool or A Perfect Circle or NIN and it does the same for me. Its different though because the bands like Pink Floyd, The Who, The Doors, Led Zeppelin et al. influenced these current bands, so while these current bands may not be breaking ground per se, their music is still just as moving and amazing as those previous bands imo.

theres something about current rock bands that kind of irks me...like it sounds like the musicians are crying in a manly way.

Hurt by NIN is amazing, but when cash covered it, it just boosted the emotional level 10 fold (does that count as old vs new? lol) also have you heard KORN's rendition of Another Brick in the Wall? Greatest rock cover...EVER

Muse is decent, The Mars Volta is an absolute must, Coheed and Cambria is decent too.

Emotive, the only good songs on there is passive, and when the levee breaks. I Like both the other albums though.

The hollow, Judith, 3 libras, Orestes from Mer De Noms

The Package, The noose, The Outsider, Weak and Powerless, and Blue from Thirteen Steps.

I have, it's pretty good. I like APC's cover of John Lenon's Imagine, and I really like Saul Williams' cover of "Sunday Bloody Sunday"

Personally I don;t think there's a bad song on either of those 2 albums, but I still prefer Thirteenth Step.

Dream theater, Liquid tension experiment are the only ones that stand out to me. I really enjoy listenting to dream theaters "IMages and words" and "A change of seasons" (very few bands can successfuly pull off 20 minute song). Also try opeth's D@mnation"

Dream Theater does that a lot and can get away with it too.
