Metal mix for a girl who doens't really like metal?

[Brooks]

What does she usually listen to?

Not entirely sure. She's my roommates best friend, and they both listen to lots of electronic music--drum n bass, dubstep. But I think her friend is more into rock and whatnots... I don't know much about her music taste really, she just asked me to teach her how to play Metallica songs on the guitar, and make her a metal mix.

Derp!

 

[DarkNoise]

I made a compilation for a gal once to 'introduce' her oh so gently to my preferred music... I used some of these tracks.

Nightwish - something off Century Child, don't remember which
Lacuna Coil - something off Comalies, don't remember which
Metallica - Orion
In Flames - Moonshield & Gyroscope
Iced Earth - Wanking over Me
Pain - Dancing With The Dead
Fear Factory - Resurrection
Nevermore - Narcosynthesis (note i did NOT use fuckin river dragon)

.... and I think I threw a Pyramaze song on there, but I'm not sure.

Never had this problem, I must concede. She liked her music, I liked mine. We rarely complained about having to listen to each others, no desired to be versed in it.

If you give a girl a cd with this setlist, you will never see the color of her panties.

 

[Calamitas1786]

Since it's for a chick, I would go for something along the lines of this:

Opeth - Godhead's Lament
Mercenary - 11 Dreams
Dream Theater - Pull Me Under
Arch Enemy - Lament of a Mortal Soul
Circus Maximus - Wither
Behemoth- Conquer All
Nevermore - No More Will
Machine Head - Old
Arsis - The Face Of My Innocence
Evergrey - Ambassador
At The Gates- Blinded By Fear
Soilwork - Shadowchild

should be accessible enough..

Ouch!

Suggestions?

 

[Dead Winter]

Chicks dig harmony and melody; something they can get stuck in their head AND something they can relate to. Anything somewhat extreme will just get skipped over. That is, non-metal chicks. If not, they'll say something along the lines of:

"The music was ok, but I just didn't like the voice."

 

[DarkNoise]

Conquer All's actually not a bad idea. Brutal, but catchy

 

[Calamitas1786]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, too. Plus, who doesn't like triplets?

Yeah, they love soppy songs about broken relationships, thats why so many dames love emo.

lacuna coil- heavens a lie
ayreon- and the druids turned to stone
iced earth- i died for you
soilwork- stabbing the drama
dream theater- misunderstood
opeth- patterns in the ivy II
symphony x- the sacrifice

then the heavy stuff

then
exodus- scar spangled banner

^ que to bang her like a jackrabbbbbbit.

 

[FretsAflame]

I'd recommend previewing her some stuff and finding out what, if anything, she does like about metal.

Good fucking luck mate.

My friend Mary is crazy about Meshuggah, especially Future Breed Machine, and Frederick Thordendal's Sol Niger Within, favorite band is Opeth, but she does like Dream Theater so not perfect, but good. also really likes Nile

ummm Funeralopolis by Electric Wizard should be good

My girl likes metal. But she can't fuckin' stand Nevermore (or Strapping Young Lad, which is a sin)! shame... However, she does like most of the other stuff i listen to. Iced Earth, Megadeth, Testament, Slayer, Old Metallica, Pantera. She's gotten me in to Danzig, which is good fuck music.

 

[derek]

Thanks for that.

 

[Chromatose]

this mix is being made for all the wrong reasons.
