I don't think I have heard Within Temptation. Tashmere Send a noteboard - 22/11/2010 01:12:34 AM


I haven't heard anything yet that I didn't like. I also ran across another band I am falling for. Have you heard of Symphony X, Jens?

I have heard of the name, but can't remember actively listening to them. Quoting the article I linked below they seem to mix "progressive elements to power metal and classical music", which does not sound like my kinda thing and makes me think of the dreaded female opera metal of Within Temptation and Nightwish, which I can't stand :D


I didn't mind Tarja. I actually ended up liking that style. It helped that the first piece I heard was their Phantom of the Opera number. Her voice was great for that. I did find that I couldn't take a steady diet of Nightwish but I did enjoy hearing them occasionally.

I love the mix of metal and classical. They are my two favorite genres and I think they are a match made in heaven. The first CD from Metallica's S&M album is a complete masterpiece.

Music: Have you ever heard a song for the first time years after it came out? Tashmere - 20/11/2010 10:54:42 PM 922 Views
No, but I am always pretty up to date with music ironclad - 20/11/2010 11:48:40 PM 785 Views

I agree about S&M, they don't have those pompous female voices *NM* ironclad - 22/11/2010 11:16:17 AM 432 Views
My heart was broke when I found out that Michael Kamen died. I would love have seen what else he Tashmere - 22/11/2010 11:04:20 PM 704 Views
Then you should definitely check out Queensrÿche. I'm pretty sure he did a bit of work... Vodalus - 25/11/2010 10:16:02 PM 757 Views
I totally missed this answer before! Thank you for answering. I will check it out! *NM* Tashmere - 30/11/2010 12:02:10 AM 423 Views
Okay, I got their Metropolis Pt. 2 along with Queensrÿche's "Mindcrime at the Moore". Legolas - 22/11/2010 11:42:57 PM 736 Views
Excellent, have fun! ironclad - 23/11/2010 12:29:43 PM 825 Views
It just seemed like this was the more likely board to appreciate this discussion. Tashmere - 24/11/2010 12:47:52 AM 736 Views
Mindcrime is pretty awesome, haven't gotten around to the other one yet. Legolas - 25/11/2010 10:24:32 PM 759 Views
Oh yeah. All the time. Bought Dream Theater's Best Of earlier this year, in fact. Legolas - 21/11/2010 12:07:11 AM 825 Views
Apparently I do like that genre even though I just found out it was called progressive metal. Tashmere - 21/11/2010 02:08:27 AM 816 Views
Do you like either ordinary metal or progressive rock, then? Legolas - 21/11/2010 02:40:31 AM 868 Views

Looks like there is a lot in that link to keep me busy investigating. Tashmere - 22/11/2010 01:20:21 AM 925 Views
Not me, I've never heard of them. *NM* Legolas - 22/11/2010 10:17:47 AM 405 Views
Me neither. *NM* ironclad - 22/11/2010 11:17:38 AM 450 Views
I guess that's a no, then. Legolas - 21/11/2010 01:52:11 PM 693 Views
Hardly! Just because I didn't know what the current name was for it doesn't mean I don't like it Tashmere - 21/11/2010 04:00:41 PM 818 Views
P.S. I was listening to that stuff before you were born. We just didn't have fancy words for it. *NM* Tashmere - 22/11/2010 01:21:55 AM 467 Views
Well, it's not as if those terms are recent inventions. Legolas - 22/11/2010 10:15:41 AM 893 Views

You are just a busy woman with plenty of other things to explore or to keep you busy. *NM* Tashmere - 22/11/2010 01:30:08 AM 445 Views

I am always being suprised by how much is out there that I have never heard of. Tashmere - 22/11/2010 01:14:50 AM 758 Views

That was fun. What an odd little group. Do you have any other songs of theirs you really like? Tashmere - 22/11/2010 10:25:39 PM 752 Views
Fantastic band, especially live. One of the finest records of 2009. ironclad - 22/11/2010 10:42:47 PM 867 Views
I am good with the acoustic version. It seems to fit the song. Sometimes the acoustic version is the Tashmere - 22/11/2010 11:02:25 PM 897 Views
