    LOL. Chris. Everything has its own benefit. You get acquainted with tonnes of good music via this contest ffs. So telling that BJSC isn't a hobby is stupid! If it makes you HAPPY then you must do it no matter what Chris people say. And this IS the definition of a hobby. Not something that involves real things that you can touch, communication and so on...

     

    really? in the last contest I only found one song I liked that I didnt already know, it wouldnt be so bad if there wasnt such a lack of variation in the contest.

    What are you talking about? He did vote in the final. And who got lowest points record?

     

    he was talking about me lol, i didnt vote in the final and I have the lowest points in a final record :)

     

     

     

    oh and yes Pavel, obviously i don't care about the contest, it's a f***ing internet game based on Eurovision in which you gain nothing, theres nothing wrong with partaking but actually caring :mellow:

     

    i just found this whole topic extrememly sad, hence the use of ":manson:" and the fact he says this is like one of his 'big' hobbies, it's noy exactly stamp collecting or playing an instrument, its a fictional game :manson:

     

    so yeah the :manson: didnt mean what you think Pavel, if i was to post a smiley to EXPRESS 'you-know-i-got-the-lowest-points-record-in-the-final-wheres-my-crown?' I wouldnt pick :manson: and f*** knows why i would post it in this thread.

    The Dillinger Escape Plan (sometimes abbreviated DEP or TDEP) is an American experimental mathcore band from Morris Plains, New Jersey. The band originated in 1997 after the disbanding of Arcane, a hardcore punk trio consisting of Ben Weinman, Dimitri Minakakis, and Chris Pennie. The band's current line-up consists of Ben Weinman (lead guitar, backing vocals), Liam Wilson (bass guitar), Greg Puciato (lead vocals), Jeff Tuttle (rhythm guitar, backing vocals), and Billy Rymer (drums, percussion).

     

    The band is known for their wild and personal live shows which often showcase stage-diving into the audience, fire breathing, and many other special effects.

    Rage Against the Machine is an American rock band, from Los Angeles, California, formed in 1991. The band's lineup, unchanged since formation, consists of vocalist Zack de la Rocha, guitarist Tom Morello, bassist Tim Commerford, and drummer Brad Wilk. Rage Against the Machine is noted for its innovative blend of alternative rock, rap, heavy metal and funk as well as its revolutionary politics and lyrics. Rage Against the Machine drew inspiration from early heavy metal instrumentation, as well as rap acts such as Public Enemy, Urban Dance Squad, and Afrika Bambaataa. The group's music is distinguished primarily by their powerful stage energy, de la Rocha's rhyming styles and Morello's unorthodox guitar techniques.

    Rage Against the Machine is the debut album by rap metal band Rage Against the Machine, released November 11, 1992. The songs on Rage Against the Machine tend to feature political mantras with the vocals rapped. The album peaked at #1 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart, and at #45 on the Billboard Top 200 chart.

     

    Tom Morello's solo guitar technique is relatively traditional on RATM relative to later albums; it generally tends to feature more influence from metal, as opposed to the more experimental techniques Morello uses on later albums, which feature more emulation of DJ and turntablism-influenced sounds.

    what are your thoughts on Rage Against The Machine? what are your favourite tracks/albums? Do you think it's a bit hypocritical for a highly anti-capitalist band to charge $1 million to play a festival?

    I haven't heard much of them, obviously 'No One Knows', but who hasn't heard that tbh!

    They're a band that I've always to get into, but never really have for some reason.

     

    I haven't heard Rated R, but I've got Era Vulgaris - absolutely love '3's & 7's' and 'I'm Designer'.

    :wub:

     

    we'll get you sorted out mate, you pretty much need a bit of Rated R and Songs For The Deaf, they are must haves!!!

    Queens of the Stone Age (also known as QOTSA or simply Queens) is a hard rock band from Palm Desert, California, United States, formed in 1997.

     

    Originally formed under the name Gamma Ray by guitarist Josh Homme after the breakup of his previous band, Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age developed a style of riff-oriented, heavy music which Homme described as 'robot rock', saying that he "wanted to create a heavy sound based on a solid jam, and just pound it into your head". The band is sometimes described as stoner rock, although they reject the term.

     

    Their sound has since evolved to incorporate a variety of different styles and influences.

    Even as he prepares for blink-182’s summer reunion tour, guitarist Tom DeLonge is deeply ensconced in the next project by his other band, Angels & Airwaves — an album and film project called “Love” that should be out before the end of the year.

     

    DeLonge tells Billboard.com that “Love” — which will be released for free thanks to corporate underwriting — is “the biggest release of my life, the pinnacle of my creativity” and likens it to Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” in the scope of its ambition. “It’s super conceptual and highbrow in many ways, very artistic, very Stanley Kubrick,” he says. “But it’s not a rock opera. It’s a very modern version of what could happen when you blend the film industry and the music industry together in a very, very arty, kind of cool way with professionals involved all along the path.”

     

    DeLonge says the “Love” movie — which began life as a documentary about Angels & Airwaves recording its 2006 debut album, “We Don’t Need to Whisper,” and expanded from there — “blurs the line between full-fledged live action and documentary with these epic kind of…meditative sequences where the sound design and the music and the picture all bend together to create a sonic experience as much as a visual one.” The script, meanwhile, “tells a story of human life and destiny but at the same time really makes usual moments of life extraordinary. It’s a circular narrative in many ways, where it kind of sums up the human race in a time capsule.”

     

    The music of “Love,” DeLonge says, will have a prog-rock kind of flavor. “It’s like blending Radiohead and U2 together with these kind of Pink Floyd movements,” he explains. “Things happen unpredictably and take you to these epic soundscapes. It’s very much in the spirit of Angels & Airwaves, but it sounds way, way more thought-out and way more ambitious.”

     

    DeLonge says the group is still figuring out mechanisms for delivering the film and album and are also planning a tour to support the project. All of this, of course, is going on while he rehearses for the blink-182 tour, which begins July 23 in Las Vegas.

     

    “It’s gonna be a really busy time — It’s f***ing crazy, actually. I don’t know what I’m doing,” DeLonge says with a laugh. “But I’m totally down and excited to figure out how to make it all happen, ’cause in my life both of these (bands) can be a very necessary thing.”

    Dropkick Murphys are an Irish-American Celtic punk band formed in Quincy, Massachusetts, U.S.. First playing together in the basement of a friend's barbershop, they blended traditional folk rock and punk rock known as Celtic punk. Their influences include Stiff Little Fingers, The Pogues, The Clash, Thin Lizzy, The Dubliners, and the Swingin' Utters.

     

    The band has made a name for itself and built a following as a result of their non-stop touring all over the world and their famous St. Patrick's Day weekend shows, which are held in and around Boston. Dropkick Murphys is known for supporting trade unions and the working class. The group is also well-known for their patronage of the Boston Red Sox, Boston Bruins and the Boston Celtics.
