How has your musical taste matured?

[speed]

Does everyone find that they have matured in their musical tastes since listening to underground metal( i. e . one is listening to better and more diverse music than in the past)?

Have you started liking different styles of music( metal and non-metal related), that in the past you couldnt stand?

 

[The Devil's Steed]

I use to listen to nu-metal, then I got into metal of all kinds. I'd say that's my tastes maturing.

Definitely. When I was about 8/9 yrs old, believe it or not, I was into the pop world Britney Spears n such... oooo man was I stupid. I learned that when I hit like 10 when my best bud ever, Tom, showed me Staind's 2nd album Dysfunction. I was enthralled... loved every fucking minute. That's what made me pick up a guitar and start learning the next year. Once i got into more technical guitarwork, I started getting very deep in the metal world. Just last year, my friend Garrett introduced me to In Flames' music, and from there I learned about heavier, more technical bands to accomodate my taste. Now I listen to Children of Bodom, Nile (Unas Slayer of The Gods is my fave), In Flames, Dimmu Borgir, Dark Tranquillity, Immortal, and stuff like that.

Very weird... I still can't believe I was so stupid back then

Nocturnalsun. Your 11 yrs old? Im not poking fun. Im realistically asking. Because britney spears has only been around for 3 yrs.

Ha, my tastes have pretty much stayed the same, I am 21 and really don't think it will change much, I listen to all good and talented music, from Sting and the Police, Pearl Jam and Alice In Chains, To Cannibal Corpse and Suffocation, Cryptopsy and Monstrosity, Death and Arch Enemy, Beethoven and Brahms, Beatles and The Stones, Sabbath and Iron Maiden, Iced Earth and Black Label, Crowbar and Atrocity, Chopin To Segovia, Led Zeppelin to Cream, Opeth, Nevermore, Grip Inc, Pantera, Slayer, CoC, Cynic, Gordian Knot, Lost Horizon, Living Colour, Nirvana, Soundgarden, STP, SRV, Miles Davis, Bill Evans, Thelonius Monk, Amon Amarth, Steely Dan, Six Feet Under, Rachmaninov,Testament, Anthrax, Thin Lizzy, old Sepultura, Morbid Agel, Meshuggah, Metallica(old), Megadeth, Priest, Faith No More, Bob Dylan, Mozart, Allman Bros., At The Gates, Burning Inside, BB King, need I more? I don't not, hoever, listen to pop. It is meaningless and self derivitive, and not good

 

[Psychonaut]

Mine hasn't. I get worse and worse as I get older. I started off with Motley Crue and their ilk back in '85, now it's Nile, Carpathian Forest, Bloodbath and stuff like that. I'm gonna be a mean old cuss when I get old...

One word:

Vastly

 

[SchismForTheSoul]

heh....i was the kinda guy who never really listened to music at all, i kinda just listened to whatever my brother would play...(heh...basicly a whole lot of pop). but then as i hit like....12 or so i started gettin into music...but my 14-15th years of my life, i been gettin into lots of different types of metal....like at this point in my life i LOVE melodic kinda of metal....just brilliant...and oh man...is it catchy (especially In Flames!!!). i really hate my brother, but i gotta thank him for introducing me to almost every band i listen to...ie..in flames (my favorite band), children of bodom, blind guardian, dragonland, dragonforce, and recently he showed me dark tranquility...omg...bad ass. but yea, i would say my music tastes have matured a LOT.

Yes sir, I sure have.
Listening to other forms of music helps out a lot in not getting burnt out on metal so much.

haha yeah me to. I'll give my grandchildren tr00 evil black metal records when they turn 4 years old or so and be the birthday parties clown with corpsepaint while performing old classic darkthrone songs

thats important for me aswell. it can get to much sometimes

 

[Life Sucks]

I started out listening to thrash over 13 years ago, then moved into a phase from 16-19 when I listened to almost only death metal and black metal (with some heavy thrash), then from 19-24 I was primarily into hardcore/metalcore (along with some death metal and thrash), and then I started getting more into metal again. Now I like death metal the best again, but I also like black metal, thrash, gothic metal, along with some hardcore and heavy punk. So I still pretty much only like electric guitar based music. I never liked rap, country, or jazz or anything.

 

[NocturnalSun]

dooood jazz is guitar based and even more challenging to play then metal

 

[Ellestin]

My tastes evolve, but not to the point where I'd discard once appreciated bands. I started into Metallica / Sepultura 9 years ago, then slowly moved to Therion / Anathema and even slower to black metal. Nowadays I am cautiously welcoming some references from the post-hardcore scene and correlative genres (Neurosis, Isis, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Yakuza, Mastodon, Ephel Duath), but I mainly listen to more organic, gooseflesh artists like old-Ulver, Enslaved, In The Woods..., or Tenhi, Empyrium, Elend...
And yes, I am a mess

 

[Nocturnal Emperor]

since i started listening to metal and playing guitar i learnt to appreciate bands i didnt such as radiohead audioslave, bob dylan, zepplin and many more

I started with common charts music, my first CD was Crash Test Dummies - God shuffled his feet (?), I loved that tune "Mmm mmm mmm"! I was also into some dance and techno songs. After that I got into grunge, like Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and Stone Temple Pilots. I remember watching a metal TV show and I found it quite fascinating to watch the videos and listen to the music, because it seemed so "wild", but I wasn't interested in any specific bands. then after some time I bought Manson's Antichrist Superstar, mainly because of "The Beautiful People" and "Tourniquet". the videos to these songs were so fucking sick. then a friend gave me Pantera's "Far beyond driven", and that was kind of a turning point, as I got heavily into it and bought similiar stuff like Sepultura, Machine Head or Fear Factory. the first band with growls that I listened to was Opeth. but at first I didn't like it at all. once I got used to growls I started getting other death/black bands' CDs. recently I'm also listening to a lot of progressive rock, I think that's very common around here
