Hey guys
 

Hey everyone my name is Ben if you didn't notice my username :)

I am here to ask the very smart musically inclined people a few questions so if you are one of those people add me as a friend!!!!!!!!!

Basically I was never much of a music person until now and I think that joining this forum will help me branch out even though I like everything from dubstep to metal to hippie-ish jams.

Thanks guys

hippie-ish jams? :laughing: so why are you into music now as opposed to when you weren't? What changed?

welcome to this site. what kind of metal do you like?

Here are some of my favorites in that category, not all of them are metal tho.
-August Burns Red
-Parkway Drive
-Breaking Benjamin
-Chevelle
-Asking Alexandria
-Killswitch engage
-System of a Down
-Audioslave
-Disturbed and A7X (not as much as I used to tho)
-Trivium

Well, I made some new friends and they introduced me to some new music. And yes Hippie-ish Jams lol.

Chevelle, Trivium, Benjamin, Alexandria, Engage, SOAD, Disturbed, Audioslave, and A7X..... I like you already.

I don't like Disturbed and A7X as much as I used to either. Their new material just isn't as good as their older work.

Have you listened to alexisonfire?


They seem like your piece of cake.

SOAD, eh? I love them, rather. And hippie-ish jams? Have you gotten into Phish, perchance? They're worthwhile. If nothing else, they're a solid bridge into more complex music, i.e. jazz, if you get REALLY into them.

I am really into them. And they're actually quite melodic, when the mood strikes them. Plus, they have four of the most competent musicians at their instruments in the line-up, so that helps.

Vocally, they're not the tops, but instrumentally, they're absolutely mind-numbing.
