The Origami Forum

so i've talked to a few origamists, and most of them seem to be into rock music (like green day).
i was just interested if anyone here listens to hard music like hard rock or heavy metal. you know, like led zeppelin, iron maiden, black sabbath, etc.

The heaviness depends on the song more or less, but I'm a huge fan of rock and metal.

Skillet
RED
Thousand Foot Krutch
12 Stones
We As Human
August Burns Red
A Day To Remember
Phinehas
Ashes Remain
Nightwish
POD
Breaking Benjamin
Flyleaf

There's probably a few more that I can't think of, but those are the main bands.

nice, that's a lot :O
i listen to zeppelin, maiden, ac/dc, guns n roses, green day, and, uh, not much beyond those, throw in a little pink floyd, black sabbath, ozzy osbourne (i admire randy rhoads) and some other random stuff (deep purple, eric clapton, etc).

Whoa, balt, you listen to Skillet? :O

I mainly listen to greenday, and all other 80's and 90's stuff. most music these days, in America at least, is trash.

america? more like, around the world.
in india here, you would definitely get a heart attack if you ever listened to any, i mean ANY of the songs here. it's just plain embarrassing >.<

Yeah. I prefer their pre-Comatose stuff though, since Awake is too watered-down for my tastes. They have an album due in spring, so we'll see how that ends up.

True dat. But I also listen to trailer music while folding (Two Steps From Hell, Immediate, etc.), and it's basically my cure for mainstream music.

I agree, pre comatose was their best period. two steps from hell is awesome, i used to listen to them all the time last year. don't have a computer anymore, though.

and haha, tskorigami

Phillip -> TSFH has a few public albums now--check Amazon: Invincible, Archangel, and SkyWorld are public, and I'd buy all three if I could afford it.
Though I like how they incorporate elements of rock into their music. You wouldn't think trailer music would have electric basses, guitars, etc., but it has a really good effect on the songs.

I honestly listen to almost anything, apart from classical and songs with really heavy screaming.
Favourite rock bands: skillet, red, pillar and nine lashes.
I also like: anberlin, linkin park and a day to remember.

How'd I forget Nine Lashes?

hey langko, nice to see you here! i'm tskorigami from flickr if you didn't recognize my name
so, well, as an addition, i can listen to anything as far as it's not religious or thrash metal. and i'm not really into classical, they're deeper, and i'm a more superficial listener. basically, i like what i like XD
i have many different favorites from drums n bass (or dubstep, however you'd like to call it), electronic (daft punk <3, i loved discovery) (and i also like the glitch mob), pop-punk (green day), power ballads (sure that this is a part of metal, but i consider them different, for eg, you can notice the difference between iron maiden's 'hallowed be thy name' and 'wasting love' or metallica's 'one' and 'fade to black'), and i'm not really into pop, but i like michael jackson's beat it.
and i listen to hard music when folding. zeppelin, maiden, gnr...
does anybody here listen to any of the bands i mentioned?

Among many others that right now I don't remember.

I'm a fan of Disturbed and Skillet.
I like Atreyu as well, though I'm not sure that would be catagorized as heavy metal.

A lot of people are into the christian rock scene with Skillet and Red. Woah.

But Menschenfeind I admire your tastes!
I myself am into deathmetal and goregrind.
- Dying Fetus
- Sacrificium
- Vomitorial Corpulence
- Soul Embraced

On a tangent I like myself some Maiden, iwrestledabearonce, Agonist, and even some lighter stuff.

EDIT: Forgot to add that I like viking metal.

Razz -> Yeah.

Just realized I forgot to mention Disciple as well.
