    Elbowed in the face at The Prodigy and had a black eye for about three weeks. That was probably Herpes too.

    Groped by some 30-40 year old man with a thick, disgusting beard when I went to see Opeth, he wouldn't leave me alone all night and I couldn't concentrate on the band because I had to keep coming up with ways to escape him.

    Then there was meeting The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster. They just stink. I mean seriously. Like they've never heard of a shower.

    And my friend dragged me along to a Bring Me The Horizon Gig. That was the worst live experience of my life, they were absolutely terrible and all of them were extremely rude.

    OH. And the studs! I only went to the live because I thought it'd be my only chance to see aie in person, since I never did when deadman was active. Fans were rude, fights were had, all in all the crowd was awful.

    CAT5 said:
    You went to "browse by weekly snapshots", correct?

    I planned to but it hasn't been updated since the beginning of March due to inactivity, so I had to resort to copy-pasting.

     

    @Champ ThanatoSchizO look pretty interesting, I might try them! Do you have anything to recommend?

    We had one of these before that was quite active and I don't think there's one here yet, so I'm bringing it back! Copy paste your top artists / plays of the past seven days from last.fm and flail about a new obsession, boast, hate, love, add people with similar tastes, discuss, yadayada.

     

    1. Clare Maguire (288 plays)

    2. 宇多田ヒカル (88 plays)

    3. Katatonia (85 plays)

    4. D'espairsRay (63 plays)

    5. Devin Townsend Project (40 plays)

    6. Marina & the Diamonds (39 plays)

    7. Dessa (17 plays)

    8. Pain of Salvation (14 plays)

    9. Agalloch (6 plays)

     

    I have basically listened to Clare Maguire nonstop for the past couple of days.  Her album came out late February and it's truly fantastic.

    But here's the standard for the majority of VK-fans I've talked to this far:

    Are the music good? Don't care as long as the members look good.

    Are the shoes comfortable? Don't care as long as the shoes look good.

    Are the food good? Don't care as long as it looks delicious.

    Are the pants comfortable? Don't care as long as it looks good.

    Are the TV you bought any good? Is the picture good and clear and stuff? Don't care as long as the TV itself looks good.

    I heard the really expensive bike you bought fell apart after just one week. Is that true? Yes, but that's OK because it looked good. Buying a new one tomorrow.

    This is the standard for more than just VK-fans.

    Fuck wearing ugly shoes because they're comfortable. I deliberately torture my feet for pretty shoes. Doesn't mean I listen to bands because the members are attractive or spend hundreds of pounds on TVs that aren't excellent quality.

    But I am willing to blow money on pretty shoes.

    I love pretty shoes.

    I'm not a fan of purchasing music digitally at all, but I'm totally in for paying for this one. I really hope it gets available overseas too.

    I'm not either, but I'm willing to do it for this cause.

    I will bitch slap anyone who posts it at blogspot.

    Whoever wrote all their recent bad songs is who I don't like ha!

    It wasn't Leda?

    it kinda fuels the idea of Leda rejoining Galneryus considering he played a live with them and he apparently could be recording with them at the moment

    and to be honest, the combination of Syu and Leda on guitars in one band would be amazing

    No, it doesn't :/ They couldn't just kick the replacement out because Leda decides continuing with DELUHI is pointless. Like Chianti said, it would be better if he made a friendly rival band for Galneryus. Or just a new band in general.

    If not, I'm pissed we never got a full-length.

    Even though I didn't like their new music, fucking this.

    Also lol @ everyone saying Galneryus should take him back. Fuck that, he left them for VK.

    I didn't think I would find mine, since I've changed last.fm accounts far too many times, but I did get this one from 2007/2008, back when D'espairsRay was automatically directed to DéspairsRay and I had about 30,000 plays. :| I've had about ten new accounts since then, because I can't stay in one place for too long. alsjda;l.

    How embarrassing some of those artists are. I do miss listening to Plastic Tree so much, though. This inspired me to dig out those CDs! Don't even remember what パラレル sound like.

    I did have an account back when it was audioscrobbler but I can't remember my username and rest assured my taste was even worse and I was even dumber.

    ETA: http://replay.waybackmachine.org/200808 ... raveofmind Found another one from 2008, derp.

    Hm. I had to give this quite a bit of consideration.

    My mother and father's music collections were pivotal in my taste's progression. I know for a fact that if I hadn't been exposed to my dad's rock music or my mum's electronic/synthpop obsessions, I would be drowning in top 40 tracks right now. Deep Purple, Guns 'n' Roses, Pink Floyd and specifically Electric Light Orchestra on my dad's side (who stick out most because they were the band he would put on the loudest). He used to listen to a lot of Sex Pistols too, but, boy, I hated that band. Depeche Mode, Duran Duran and INXS were an influence from my mum's speakers.

    My grandfather all but forced me to listen to classical music when I was six and through him and it I learnt how to play the piano, which has given me an in built affinity for the instrument in music. It also introduced me to opera, which has made me appreciative of tenor and soprano vocals and classically-inspired genres, such as symphonic metal and neo-classical. Metal often uses the same structural techniques as classical music. I can't pinpoint any particular artist, but the genre in general has had an enormous impact on the evolution of my musical taste.

    Lacuna Coil. I was in love with them in my early-to-mid teens. I had listened to heavier music prior to Lacuna Coil, but I had never been so attached to a band that was even remotely metal. I wasn't too big on harsh vocals or growls then either, but Andrea Ferro (mediocre vocalist that he is) was a helpful stepping stone. Through them I began to get interested in female-fronted rock/metal and, believe it or not, female-fronted bands helped me embrace my sexuality. Additionally, they taught me to appreciate languages other than my own in music. So without them, I might've cast aside anything Japanese thrust at me.

    Dir en grey. They were by no means the first Japanese band I heard, but they were the... weirdest, for want of a more appropriate word. And they were the only one who once upon a time embraced androgyny. I'm not a huge Dir en grey fan anymore, but they were the first visual kei band I actually liked and I began to search for more after hearing them, namely D'espairsRay. I'd basically sever all ties with visual kei if not for D'espairsRay. I wouldn't say they shaped my musical taste in any way, but since they're my favourite band and have been for years now, they have shaped me.

    Arjen Anthony Lucassen's projects. Pulled me out of the musical slump I was in and introduced me to an array of new, awesome musicians who have since become irreplacable in my library. The Gathering, too, broadened my musical horizons more than I can express.

    Katatonia and Opeth, especially the latter, for teaching me to love growling.

    Alcest and Neige's other outfits (mainly Amesoeurs). Before discovering this man, I would typically dissociate myself from black metal. I had no idea "atmospheric black metal" existed. I'd always assumed black metal was all br00tal kvlt death to all! satan rules! and I wasn't into that variety at all. And then I heard Alcest, around the release of Souvenirs d'un autre monde, and was speechless that this was made by a well-known name in the black metal community. Eventually I came to love everything Neige touched and started to explore similar artists. I even tried some of those oh so frightening black metal bands I otherwise would've steered clear of (such as Negură Bunget and An Autumn for Crippled Children) and enjoyed them.
