Music Club Welcome

Hewoo everyone! Some of you already know a little of my music tastes but anyway.

I like the heavy metal/rock genre or what people call 'goth' music...both Japanese and English.
Buck Tick and One Ok Rock are ny favorite Japanese bands and System of a down and Evanescence are my favorite English bands.

My opinion on a good song would consist of the instrumental which I like to try and play. Although lyrics make up the storyline of the song, I believe they are just words alone. The instrumental part enhances the meaning, especially since subconsciously, the human mind process the type of sounds they hear to determine a mood. However, together, the song can have many influences or even eye openers.

 

AWWWWW YEEEAAAHHH, MUSIC CLUB!
I feel right at home.
The type of music I listen to are in no order...

1. Deep,Tropical,Electric,Melodic House
2. Heavy Metal & Rock (AC/DC, Blue Öyster Cult, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Pink Floyd, CCR, Canned Heat list goes on...)
3. A bit of country (mainly Johnny cash...)
4. Chillstep, Hardstyle, Electrostep etc.
5. Classical Piano
6. K/C/J Pop/Rock/Heavy Metal

I love club, party, upbeat, semi fast songs they get me going! I listen to Chillstep, Tropical, or Melodic House when I want to read and while walking /traveling anything goes from Heavy Metal all the way down the line to Chillstep. lol
I'm always seen with headphones no exceptions, if I'm without headphones I'll go far from Crazy. Music keeps me going! I mean if anyone remembers my old avatars they'll know... haha
I play a bit of Piano and Guitar.

 

Hi, as you may have seen, I posted an Off Topic thread entitled Who Are Your Favorite Singers and listed my favorite Singers, so i will give a rough list of them on this post:

Favorite Genres: Pop Rock(Oldies), Rock, R&B(from 50's,60's, and 70's), Classical.

USA: Billy Joel, Simon and Garfunkel, Journey, The Platters.
UK: Elton John, U2, Queen, Phil Collins.
Jap: Mr. Children, B'z, Chage and ASKA, Masaharu Fukuyama.

I love singing and have been in professional and church choirs since the age of 8. I am a tenor and love to sing songs by The Platters, Bobby Darin, Billy Joel, and Simon and Garfunkel. I am looking for someone who is good at writing songs as I want to record at some point. I also like singing songs by Masaharu Fukuyama in Japanese as I am learning the language and am fairly good at pronunciation.

I will post some videos and/or audios of my singing at some point.

Please pray for me, I am doing a singing competition through 4-H and have advanced to the State level for the second year in a row and if I get first place, I will be performing in front of about 5,000 people!!!! I really want to win State this year and think I have a chance, because in my district competition, I placed 2nd to a former State Champion!!!

 

What kind of music do you like?
What are some of your favorite artists/bands?
Have you taken any music classes (either for an instrument or Music Theory/History, etc.)?
What do you like the most out of a song (the beat, the melody, or the vocals)?
What has music inspired you to do (if anything)?

1. Anything that catches my attention, but pop, rap and hip-hop I tend to have no interest in.

2. Favorite bands? Perhaps... VNV Nation, Five Finger Death Punch, Nightwish, Metallica, Marilyn Manson, Depeche Mode,Lady Gaga (at times). There are bands that have a single song I like, and no more. Japanese songs can be good, when they don't sound like American pop.

3. Took music classes when I was little, but never cared for it. Recorders are just too squeaky, and the songs were just not to my liking, especially since I was just dragged into it.

4. My reason for not liking certain songs is sometimes because the artist focuses way too much on the words, using only a beat in the background. Words can be good, which is why I like VNV Nation, but crappy content also turns me down. Would much rather listen to 5FDP with the cussing rather than Iggy Azalea talking about hom much you want it. And a beat, well, that could get repetitious. The instruments is what I like to hear, with words that go well with the music.
In short, I like good words that will take multiple times of listening to figure out while accompanied by great music, music that could make you think or take you away.

5. Drawing has been inspired by music. That, and that 360 degree spin I did on the highway while passing someone flawlessly.

Posted a lot of my stuff in the Asylum labeled as "Core's Favorite Bands". Maybe I'll pull refer back to that for stuff.

 

I don't really have a favorite genre of music, it depends on my mood really. I'll listen to anything as long as it sounds good. That being said, I generally dislike crazy heavy songs or really weird and obscure ones. I like music that I can chill too; songs that aren't too crazy yet aren't too subtle. Here are a few examples, take a glance and tell me if you see anything you listen to or know of:

I also listen to some "harder" songs depending on what I feel like at the moment:

I really don't have any favorite bands or artists, I just listen to whatever.

My favorite OST's are Kuroko no Basket:


Dynasty Warriors:

and Kara no Shoujo

I come up with some of my best ideas while listening to music, so it inspires me to make my ideas a reality. I'm always evolving my thoughts while listening to music so it's kind of the cornerstone for my creativity.

Let me know if you see anything you know/listen to.

 

I'll stick to classical piano, I love the sounds and moods it gives off while playing.
What do you guys think of these two songs?
These are my recommendations for House and Electropop...

Spoiler

-Electropop-

Beat kicks in at 1:00
-House-

Beat kicks in at 0:47

This is Chillstep, it has a verity of genres. Perfect for browsing the internet or studying.

I'm having the same problem as well... So that's why I've widened my search for songs across the world. Haha! I really enjoy them but it's a shame I can't find many in English but I'm also a picky person when it comes to music. So that won't be of help. I am looking for new ones so I'll sure post them if I find any good enough.

@jmriz I tried the whole "church choir thing before, but it never stuck for me at least. But that's very cool that you can sing. On top of wishing you luck however, I was curious, what type of music will you be singing? Do they make you sing the more "classical" stuff or are they more lenient and let you sing more modern music? Or do you get to choose? I'm not really sure how it works, and I was always curious. Since I was always in Band in grade-high school and we only worked with the chorus troop wen it was convenient. I wanted to know what it was like to be in it.

To answer your question on choice of music, the contestant gets to choose whatever song from whatever genre he or/ she wants but with a time limit of 5 min for the song, which is just a formality. I will be singing Smoke Gets In Your Eyes by The Platters, which is an R&B song from the late 50's and is one of my favorite songs of all time. Now, on to the choir question, I should have re-phrased Church Choir to Cathedral Choir, we sang at a Cathedral for Sunday Mass and for Bishops and dignitaries, and the choir that I was in last year has sung in Vienna, Carnegie Hall, and the Vatican, these were not just regular choirs

 

Yo, this shit is nice.

 

Why did you tag yourself? Feeling lonely?

You think we could shift that thread into this part of the forum?
And perhaps we members can make threads in this area titled after a band of our choosing and we can make it a song library of sorts. Like a metallica thread with links/videos for the songs in it. Make it easier for one another to listen to music other members listen to (since some are too lazy to actively search).

 

I tagged myself on accident and trust me, I could never be lonely with all the awesome and kind people, yourself included, who are on this forum!!

 

I am resistant to flattery... but I don't feel like resisting it.

On second thought, @Roy-Blue , scratch the idea about importing my old thread. It will be nice talking about that stuff again.

 

You mean ones that are non you tube? Or just some music tracks on you tube? Because I doubt many artists will normally post all of their music officially.

 

I will listen to pretty much anything if it sounds good to me and I also listen to some English covers/adaptions of anime and game songs. The only genre that I really don't have any interest in is dubstep.

I don't really have any favourite bands or artists.

The last time I played any instrument was about 10 years ago.

When I was in college and was the only one in the classroom I would use one of the computers in the classroom that I did not disconnected from the internet or I would use my laptop to listen to music which helped me stay focused on my labs which I was able to finish most of them within a month and I also listened to music while studying or working on my other assignments.

 

There are some bands I do listen to or I enjoy some songs from bands such as Nickleback and Johnny cash. Most of the other music I listen to are game OST such as Persona, Valkyrie Chronicles, various Tales of series opening themes and I also listen to English anime/game covers such as these.

and


I will listen to pretty much any genre of music also I am willing to listen to any music that people recommend for me.

Also I realize that no one on here knows what I went to college for since I never talked about it but that would be off topic.

 

Here are some of my favorite songs
