I like all different kinds of music, I like rock in general the best. I mostly listen to metal but none of that senseless crap like Lamb of God. My favorite band is most definitely TOOL, my favorite song by them and my favorite song of all time is Lateralus. TOOL has realy been a great inspiration to me, both psycolgicaly and spiritually.
P.S. It's pretty funny you posted this because earlier today I was offered a position in a band. A friend of mine asked me to play bass, I play but I'm not very good (at any instrument come to think of it). I did however let him know that I'd be interested in lead vocals because I write poems/lyrics but since they're my lyrics I have to sing them. I think he's considering me and he told me he'd get back to me.

I listen to a little big of everything. But mostly (like Carnage), I listen to rock music. My favorite bands: Staind is first and foremost my favorite and always will be, Evanescene, Linkin Park, Mudvayne, Metallica is fairly decent...their new stuff isn't too great, 12 Stones, Disturbed, Seether, Theory Of A Deadman, Sevendust, Stone Sour and various other ones.
For the rap side....the only one's I really listen to are Eminem & DMX. I'm not much of a rap fan, but there are times when I listen to it a little...have to be in the right mood.
How about you Ouchmaker?

Like you guys, I listen to pretty much everything. Mostly mainstream, with rock, pop, punk, techno, and so forth. Blink 182, REM, Moby, Linkin Park, Nirvana, and the type. But also some older stuff, a few songs from Harry Belafonte, Nat King Cole. And of course finnish music, like Nightwish, Bomfunk MC's, Apulanta, Darude, Sonata Arctica, Leevi & The Leavings, Poets of the Fall, Disco Ensemble, Egotrippi, The Rasmus, Olavi Uusivirta, Scandinavian Music Group, Lordi, Sunrise Avenue, So Called Plan, and so forth. Here's a few videos I found, if anyone wants to look up some names that I mentioned. Apulanta - Bring Me Down (they usually sing in finnish, and this is an old song, but I think you'll understand the lyrics better with this one.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=st0ZZtw_Gp0Nightwish - Nemo www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAKf1gTx7qMLordi - Hard Rock Hallelujah (winner of the European song contest 2006) www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdItwaLrv1URasmus - First day of my Life www.youtube.com/watch?v=0egjhamRXKMSunrise Avenue - Fairytale Gone Bad www.youtube.com/watch?v=VW0OgGmODKkPoets of the Fall - Carnival of Rust www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHcwlUidSbMBonfunk MC's - Something Going On www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_ALy5qSCkYSo Called Plan - Same About the Sorrow www.youtube.com/watch?v=j98HN3AERGkSince I'm an anime buff, I also like the songs that appear in some anime series and movies. Shiro Sagisu, SeeSaw, and many others. Have to show this as well: Olavi Uusivirta - On niin helppo olla onnellinen (it's so easy to be happy) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pd3jv3nJ8c0It's all in finnish, so you probably don't understand any of the lyrics, but the video is made in one shot, so you have to give him props for that.

all of them are finnish bands, atleast those that sing in english. Didn't want to put up a video of a band that sings in finnish, because you wouldn't understand the lyrics. I did forget HIM. Here's one of the their videos: Wing of a Butterfly youtube.com/watch?v=MmeXni2Z6lkIt's reasonable that you haven't heard of them. Only Rasmus, Nightwish and HIM have had any major success abroad. Most of the others are relatively new, so that they haven't had time to get that much publicity.

t0xin, have you listened to Tool? I think I remember you saying on the 'what are you listening thread' that you were listening to 10 Years. If you like them I recomend Tool because that's basically where they got that style of playing from. I'll put their best videos up here: SchismParabolaStinkfist

We're not that much into spring break and stuff, mainly because here in Finland it's not that big of an event that it is in the US. However we totally make up for it during the summer. There's like 20 days from June to August that there isn't a festival or a concert somewhere in Finland.
The closest festival for me is Ruisrock (Ryerock for direct translation). An annual festival, something like the 36th year going now. Basically a rock festival, but it goes both ways, some performers are a bit more pop/punk, and others are a bit more hardcore. A three-day event, and lots of fun.
22-Pistepirkko, Amorphis, Apocalyptica, Apulanta, Backyard Babies, Cmx, Danko Jones,Diablo, Disco Ensemble, Don Johnson Big Band, Editors, Egotrippi, Flogging Molly, Gogol Bordello, Hanoi Rocks, I Walk The Line, Ismo Alanko Säätiö, Kashmir, Lapko, Lemonator, Maija Vilkkumaa, Mew, Mogwai, Mokoma, Negative, Neljä Ruusua, New York Dolls, Nicole Willis & The Soul, Investigators, No Shame, Oomph!, Opeth, Phoenix, Pmmp, Poets Of The Fall, Saxon, Scandinavian Music Group, Soilwork, Sonata Arctica, Stam1na, Teräsbetoni, The 69 Eyes, The Bellrays, The Cardigans, The Crash, The Gathering, The Rasmus,The Sounds, Tiktak, Timo Rautiainen, Tool, Viikate.
That's a list of most of the performers. Yes, we had Tool here, as well as a few others as well. Hopefully next year will be as good, because I'm definitely going, maybe a few other festivals as well.

Hey, isn't Alice In Chains touring out in Europe right now? Obviously it's not the original lead singer, but I still heard they got back together to tour.
