I listen to some 80s shit, depending on what you mean by 80s.

probably not the same stuff you listen to.

Quiet Riot
rocky sound tracks
def leppard
a little judas preist
poison
etc .

just shit to run or workout too

It's all deadly.

I saw Quiet Riot live a few years ago.

You asshole, you know I listen to Judas Priest.

I also listen to some early Madonna, the Bangles, and other poppy shit.

[SPX]

LOL

Not really. It's just a bunch of dumb kids like everywhere else.

Word.

Peeps talk alot of shit but that's all it is.

Speaking of Judas Priest, Painkiller is pretty much the most metal song of all time.

[MMA_scientist]

Werd, no problem. I can get into anything that's big and powerful like that, no matter the genre.

LOL at "suit"

I really like this guy too. He sounds like a whole band on just his acoustic.

I have pretty broad collection, but big sounding is not one of the thiings I look for... I like a lot of really deflated sounding stuff too. I like Sufjan Stevens, Amos Lee's first record was good.

I also like rock music, but to metal heads, it would probably sound like pop music. I don't buy it though. I own a lot of 90's rock though like Live and PJ and stuff. I still like Eddie Vedder- I have teh soundtrack to Into the Wild (great movie too if you guys have not seen it).

For popular music, I do like Jack Johnson. I started listening to that in like 2002. I am not going to drop it just because it is mainstream now.

Anyone here seen Antitrust? For some reason, I really love this movie.

[Luke]

I've always meant to see them Def Leppard and a few others from the 80s just never got around to it.


My lady wants to see Bon Jovi someday

yeah I saw that when it first came out .Good movie

Racheal Leigh Cook mmmm....

I think this movie just kind of takes me back to the turn of the millenium. It didn't seem great at the time, but when I look back and the friends I had and what I was really up to, it was okay.

[SPX]

BTW speaking of Rachel Leigh Cook, I saw a bitch on the train today that looked A LOT like her.

She was actually one of the most beautiful girls that I've seen in a long time. I just stared at her.

[MMA_scientist]

I vastly prefer Claire Florlani to Rachel Lee Cook.

Also, that movie was totally forgettable for me. I watched half of it before I realized I had already seen it.

See I'm the opposite I thought it was good back then but think if I rewatched it I would think its a dud. Back then I knew nothing about computers so everything looked cool.

They're both awesome in my book.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

I actually love the movie. I'm sure a lot of it has to do with nostalgia. It reminds me of being 19 and watching it at my parents house with my girlfriend (who I had been with all through high school) and thinking how cool it would be to be a computer hacker.

It's funny how certain films can have vast significance for one person, while being nothing to someone else. I'm sure it is only partially to do with the film itself, but rather has to do with the surrounding circumstances.

See I'm the opposite I thought it was good back then but think if I rewatched it I would think its a dud. Back then I knew nothing about computers so everything looked cool.

Actually, in terms of computer movies, it's certainly one of the most realistic. Instead of creating their own OS as many movies chose to do, they use Linux, and the Linux commands are legit. Also, the use of IP addresses (not common knowledge as it is now) lended credibility.

I've heard that some of the code used in the movie is garbage--I can neither confirm nor deny--but I think that you'll be hard pressed to find a truly realistic computer film.

Never seen it. Shrug

And scientist, yes. 90s rock/alternative is pretty much the greatest music ever. Nirvana, stp, pumpkins, pearl jam, green day, alice in chains, etc etc ad infinitum. Pretty much everything in the first half of the decade. Love it.

I like Alice in Chains a lot, STP, PJ... never cared for Greenday though.

I like the genre, but there is only so much of it... since it is almost 20 years old now, it is a lot of listening to the same stuff. So I listen to it sparingly because I don't want to wear it out anymore.

[Svino]

Personally, I prefer a rather broad definition that understands that "metal" encompasses a vast array of sub-genres. Even glam, I suppose.

Others, the "true" metal fans, will tell you that it's not metal unless it sounds like Slayer or Lamb of God or some shit like that.

Yeah, it's a lot of semantics and elitism. Then you've got your Death Metal, Black Metal, Thrash Metal, etc.

Have you guys ever seen this?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpZ18recO9A

I don't personally know enough about to metal to say if it's "accurate" though.

SPX, this documentary is pretty boring 10 minutes in. LOL

You should try "Anvil: The Story of Anvil". It's good, but depressing. Kind of like "This is Spinal Tap" crossed with "The Wrestler", but real.

[zY|]

Sick video, Svino.

And yes, thats pretty spot on. Notice how the black metal is all trem picking. That's how >90% of it is i'd say. I would argue that the power metal part is a bit more neoclassical aka 'shred', but its still pretty close if you're talking about cheesy bands like Dragonforce.

[Mr. IWS]

Would you guys give me shit if I told you that I love Hall and Oates?
