Saw these guys last night. Tightest live act I've ever seen?

Recently started listening to Sleigh Bells. Why do I love this so much?

autotuned fagcore seems to get a lot of tits

The Teräsbetoni and Northern Kings singer Jarkko Ahola launchs his new band, AHOLA, where they're playing mostly classic rock music Here is the official Myspace page of this new band:

It's not because I like Jarkko and all what he does a lot, but those samples sound quite great

Haha that's my friend's favourite song. It's so gay.

Why did all 80s pop song snares have that disgusting reverb effect? It was pretty much never used before or after that decade. So what gives?

 

[Der Morgenstern]

Always reminds me of The Citadel in Mass Effect.

Don't hate. As a drummer, I can appreciate the idea behind reverb/echoes in the snare in the same vein that a guitarist can appreciate reverb when slamming down a menacing chord.

^ Well in slower music it's not always wrong, I guess. I used to play drums too, and I always preferred to keep the snare tight, And Justice for All style. Can't really execute a fill involving the snare drum if it splashes like water. It's a completely different thing e.g with toms, as you can get a pretty cool rumbling effect with lots of reverb on them.

So Wu Tang's first album and GZA's following are the only two rap albums I've ever heard that aren't garbage, to be honest. I've tried to find something similar to GZA, but I just can't find it. Most other rappers just feel like stupid fucking douchebags enjoying their spotlight too much. GZA on the other hand is genuinely talented, has something to say, and has integrity too (which isn't too common). Love RZA's weird dark beats too, perfect combination.

 

[The Ozzman]

Try Nas - Illmatic

 

[mutantllama]

Liquid Swords is a great album. Maybe try Madvillain's Madvillainy or just MF Doom in general, not similar to GZA but still great.

Other than metal, industrial and 60s psychedelia, I am rather fond of 80s music.

There's loads of hip hop out there that's as good. Try these.

The Dr. Octagon stuff is awesome.
