Who Wants To Do Gaga?

[Dead Winter]

The Slayer vid is really cool, but a bit too much Max Payne for me.

 

[wickedsensation]

It is now my life-goal to somehow get tickets to see GaGa at the Staples Center in LA.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

I'd rather listen to Lady Gaga than Slayer.

Yep.

The Slayer vid is retarded angst and narm.

 

[Morbides]

The Slayer vid is retarded angst and narm.

True.But the techniques used to portray the retardation and angst are awesome.

 

[El Stormo]

And if by awesome, you mean narm, you are correct.

 

[Morbides]

And if by awesome, you mean narm, you are correct.

Have it your way.

 

[Chromatose]

I don't even know what "narm" could mean.

 

[Lord Foul]

I don't even know what "narm" could mean.

"A Narm is a moment that is supposed to be serious, but due to either over-sappiness, poor execution, excessive Melodrama, or the sheer absurdity of the situation, the drama is lost to the point of becoming unintentionally funny. It can be extremely subjective.

It is named for the famous scene in the last season of Six Feet Under, where the main character Nate suffers a brain embolism. He suddenly grabs his right arm and repeats "Numb arm!", but it quickly becomes "N'arm! N'arm!" Despite being the climax of one of the best shows HBO has ever created, the scene was overwhelmingly found by fans and reviewers to be funny rather than sad."

Huh.

I had never even heard of this woman till this thread.

My musical influence consists of anything new on Nuclear Blast, CM or is mentioned on Blabbermouth. Other then that its whatever is on Liquid Metal on XM / Sirius. I don't watch TV, I don't listen to "radio" and I don't watch the news so I say whoever she is ... screw her and whatever grammy nominations shes had / has. As far as I am concerned grammy nomination = certain death. So I am fully expecting the next Slayer, Megadeth, and Judas Priest albums to blow beyond anything Metallica has put out since AJFA. Even Lamb of Gods latest disc sucked an unholy fat one and what do you know the year before nominated for a grammy ... hmmm

Ya I know I am musically narrow minded, but I like what I like and what I like is Metal played by Metal musicians, what constitutes a metal musician in my eyes is someone who understands the reason metal was created, and can convey the attitude, energy and message. Any band can palm mute a few B chords and be called a metal band nowadays, or one of the many sub-genres now. I am all about the energy which is why I like many of the bands a lot of people say aren't very metal. Lamb of God being one such example. to me they took the energy of Pantera and mixed it with just enough of the "progressive" metal of SF thrashers like Testament and Forbidden and pushed forward. That to me is what I look for in a "new" band.

Some of the newer not quite so new bands I am into:
Scar Symmetry
Lamb Of God
Slipknot (you can not deny the grooves and intensity of this music, I hate the whole image but the music seriously kicks ass)
Evile (ya they are Classic thrash re-hashed but the get it)
Mastadon
Machine Head - ya i know they started in 94'
Killswitch Engage
Avenged Sevenfold (go ahead laugh now, but the song writing is solid as fuck)

i guess I am just more about good songwriting with a solid groove then anything else.

I know no one cares but I had to get it off my chest.

=============

Ok so i did some research and this is the "poker face" bitch my G/F listens too ... OMG, anything I listed above is better then this drivel .....lol

People still make music videos?

Why? There is no outlet for them anymore. Perhaps sandwiched between some reality shows, maybe?

 

[Chromatose]

Because otherwise people will just upload songs to youtube with an album cover as the video. HOW BORING.

 

[DreamNeonBlack]

I'd watch that.

Er.

Have you been on the internet?

Fuck ga times two, this girl actually has a voice that is easy to melodyne and autotune, looks fucking hot, AND has acoustic guitar in one of her trance songs, which actually ends up being really catchy (don't bother with anything else from her, it's all shit):

Since when is "having a voice that is easy to autotune" a positive quality in a singer?

Tell me about it...
