SCREW YOU! I was like twelve! I hate you so much!

**GK Punk** · 07-09-2009, 10:56 PM

Haha, don't feel bad. We've all done **** like that.

*XERO* · 07-09-2009, 10:57 PM

It's safe to say that this thread is more positive about the band that that one.

It makes for good categorization. However, you need to be careful about that, because like several forms of stereotyping, it can cause problems.

I don't really blame anyone, because it's natural to feel strong about your opinions when you really enjoy something, but I always try my best to respect the interests and opinions of others (to the people who deserve it anyway).

Everything gets callled Emo these days, and it's pretty ****ing irritating to be honest.

*XERO* · 07-10-2009, 12:03 AM

It's funny, because I listen to this band and it doesn't sound Emo to me at all.

I like them mostly because of the guitar riffs, though, so I guess that's not saying much.

Everythng is emo? Er, okay. I guess that goes for Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and all the old school legends. In fact, any musician who sung, rapped, or composed for the sake of positivity. Yeah, real emo.

Hell, why not throw in Michael Jackson, too?

Yeah, having an opinion is cool and all, but do they have to make them that ridiculous?

... but he was talking about the video, actually.

Well, I was thinking that he also meant the band. But if not, then I'm sorry.

Evanescence is pretty good. But NO ONE can top Within Temptation. That band is amazing! They've been my favorite female fronted band for several years now. Check out anything from THE SILENT FORCE or THE HEART OF EVERYTHING.

"Frozen" is one of my top favorite songs by Within Temptation.

Apart from Within Temptation and Evanescence, some other fantastic female fronted bands I highly recommend are...

Lacuna Coil
Era For A Moment
Lunatica
Nightwish (newer stuff only...can't stand Tarja, the old vocalist)
Autumn
Delain
Echoes Of Eternity
La-Ventura
Fireflight
Paramore
In This Moment
Leaves' Eyes
Delight
Angtoria
Brave
Flyleaf
Lennon Murphy
You're Pretty
Veruca Salt
Lullacry
Nemesea
Unsun
Sirenia
A.D.D.
Fountain Of Tears
Chumley's Toy
Asrai
The Birthday Massacre
Seminole County
The Cranberries
Antonamasia

That's enough I guess for anyone who isn't afraid to explore new music that the radio stations will NEVER play (yes, apart from the ones GK listed below).

However there are tons more I don't really like such as After Forever, Edenbridge, Otep, Kittie, Epica, etc.

..>Really? 'cause I've heard all of those on the radio, and more than just once or twice.

FlawedCoil82 · 07-10-2009, 02:58 AM

I should have said "most" of them. Yes, all the bands you listed though have record labels in America, thus why they are played on the radio in some cities. Within Temptation is on Roadrunner Records in America but hardly anyone who didn't already know about them before has ever heard of them because Roadrunner did a PITIFUL job of promoting them here.

But I threw in some mainstream bands as well to show that I am not only an underground fan. I love both indie and mainstream rock.

I'd add Visions of Atlantis to your list as well.

FlawedCoil82 · 07-10-2009, 03:02 AM

I am not a fan of Visions Of Atlantis.

I don't like the more "opera styled" female vocals (nor do I like "beauty and the beast" vocals where they have a male growler destroying the music like in Battlelore and countless other bands).

**GK Punk** · 07-10-2009, 03:19 AM

Some of those that I listed, get played on Sirius a good deal. (Not just the main stream ones.)

I was just referring to the video. As previously stated, I'm quite fond of the band. Truth be told, I throw that word around a lot, probably without proper definition. Either way, I like the song quite a bit (I love music with dark themes), but I find the video hysterically laughable.
