You like a few pretty cool bands. I'm a pretty big fan of Kamelot and Nightwish for sure. Have you ever heard of Insomnium? Just released a new record and it sounds great, here's a song if you haven't listened to them before

Thanks I'll check them out

Oh man Taxer is gonna rip this guy to pieces...

By that I mean welcome!! Check out Insomnium. They are an incredible band. Also Opeth if you've never given them a listen. We need to purge some of that Falling In Reverse from you.

o no....

i hope taxer never sees this thread ever... or some others

dear sir, you listen to kamelot. that is all i need to know about you. you are a friend

if prog/power metal is in your alley may i suggest a few bands. and also suggest the folk metal as a genre. (taxer will love this thread... i can tell already)

blind guardian- favoritist power metal band along with kamelot and sonata arctica


sonata arctica- super catchy happy fun time power metal



EQUILIBRIUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (thats how i say it in my head). i would post their discography if i wanted... which i do, but i will refrain


ensfierum- more folk metal


eluveitie- even more folk metal, deathy elements


summoning- atmospheric black metal... just gonna throw this in here.

i also second insomnium and opeth from previous posts.... or third them... w/e

freedom call- if your lactose intolerant, i would avoid this. but damn it i love cheese


diablo swing orchestra- i dont think anyone here likes these guys besides me. give em a shot though. they jazz swing opera latin etc etc etc metal. they have something genre bending in every song. this is a pretty normal one for them



finntroll- oompa folk metal. pretty standard song for someone trying to get into them. have to post it.



im already decreeing this taxers favorite thread. ill post more obscure bands later if your interested just to balance out all the taxer-hated bands i just listed. these bands i think are pretty standard though if you like that kind of thing if you havent already heard of them. so yeah. WELCOME TO THE FORUM NONBOT PERSON

Hello there lad

Equilibrium, Ensiferum and Blind Guardian are strongly encouraged from me too

Also, not to add to the mounds of bands you're being supplied with, but with your tastes, you're fairly likely to enjoy Protest The Hero.

o yeah. i second protest.

man taxer will be all over this thread

Welcome! ^ If you don't like TICtP you don't like music.

man... i was waiting a couple days for this post... and i have to say... im actually dissapointed

i think i let my expectations run away with me.

By letting down your expectations he has trolled you. He saw that the opportunity to troll you guys was bigger than the opportunity to troll the new member.

welcome to the fucking forums darkun

taxer is the resident troll by the way. new members have to survive him to become permanent members, but we all eagerly await your sustenance through said tribulations. also i normally capitalize and use grammr, but im super super lazy right now.

but im not mad... just... un-impressed

Taxer's like an initiation test. I think he may not be coming back now though....it's been a few days....

that post was from yesterday

Something tells me we scared away the new member

Good, we already have enough falses.

i think we scared him by saying that there was someone who would scare him. haha. we good at keeping members

QUIET YOU.

I already assume new members will leave after the first few days. It almost always ends up that way =(.

its cuz we weird

Hey Guys

I'm new here. I thought it would be really pretty to meet other metal fans online, because my group of friends over here just listen to the same music
So if you can give me some nice tips, it would be pretty^^

Maybe I'll make a cover of one of my favorites...

Rock on!

welcome to the forum! what do you listen to before we start recommending stuff?

I too like pretty things, so here are some nice tips:

1) If you have to do something challenging then it helps to have some confidence, but confidence because you're going to give it an honest effort.
2) A mistake provides a good learning opportunity.

If you're a false, don't entry. Simple as that.

lol

Pretty sure everyone here knows those bands fairly well

Agreed with LOR's choices. Try some folk and power metal. This may be up your alley too.

Uhu, I like that too... Before I came into the metal I listened really much stuff like Enya and Moya Brennan (her sister).
But does anyone know here a good symphonic metal band exepting the bands I wrote? 'Cause I like that really much... Well I'm in for trying out new stuff, but always the folk melodies in your head is also not very nice (when I like a song I can hear it in my head for weeks!:S)

thanks^^

kamelot, epica, nightwish, stratovarious, rhapsody of fire, equilibrium, equilibrium, equilibrium, kamelot, kamelot, epica

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgNoadKcIWg&feature=related

give it a real listen. you said symphonic- their aint nothing more symphonic then this.

o and adagio and darkmoor are also worth mentioning

Wow....
Equilibrium is really fantastic!

Oh I like the flute in this song.... I gonna try to play this too^^

*sees herself with her flute thinking: HOW I HAVE TO PLAY???*

WOOOOOOO. I am very pleased that you enjoy equilibrium as they are one of my top 5 favorite bands.

Hahaha

Well, I saw your Myspace page... You're a music composer?
I always try, but I only play really classic guitar and nothing what's really metal-like...
But it sounds great^^

Yeah, and money is always a problem. Most musicans need it to survive.
That's why I didn't start a music education at high-school level.... But I still want to write my own songs.

May I ask where you get the inspiration from?:$

thanks for checking out us out. i didnt really specifically write that for you to check us out its just my sig but thanks anyway. haha.

inspiration... hmmm... interesting subject. i dont know if i really want to talk about it to be honest as its feels exposing. but being in a power metal band i might be able to write off alot of it as fantasy-oriented inspired stuff. though im not sure how much of that is actually true. in terms of bands that influence me, its pretty much the stuff i recommended you.

classical guitar is pretty sweet btw. and yeah money is always an issue but i decided to go with music anyway, after all, its not about the money, though my parents would cringe at the statement... though they do understand.

well,
my parents didn't understand me... So I had to choose for something else. Now I'm studying life sciences... Really a heavy thing.

Okay, well I'm gonna try something to write I think...
but it's really difficult to think about guitars, drums etc. I play most of the time solo classic guitar...
How big the difference can be???

You'd be surprised at the amount of parallels a lot of metal has with classical music. Get good at classical guitar and you might find that you'd be able to play some fairly advanced metal songs.

but the range is limited cuz of fret access

My classical guitar is pretty good....
It's a nylon-string and I also can plug it in...
One time at high school I had to play with my band from the music class for all the teachers at christmas.
One of the songs was "jingle bell rock". The first time really slow and I just played together with the bass and drums. But after that we did an switch of instruments and we just gave them the most powerfull jingle bell rock you can have (I have to say it was more metal....) But the only thing I did was switching between clean and distortion:P

Another question....
With what kind of songs you think I can start?

anything you think you can play

I just gonna try something...
Uhm... Well, I can choose for so many things... And I always can't make a choice

just pick whatever song your into right now. thats probably the best way to do it. and if you cant play it, then i guess go on from there
