Maynard was better, I'll give you that. But APC as a band was much better than Tool.

Black Tape for a Blue Girl - Shadow of a Doubt.

In my opinion, Tool Owns, but the talents of James Iha, former Smashing Pumpkins guitarist is noticeable in APC.

Ecstacy and Vendetta - Sex Gang Children.

And, atleast in my opinion, APC's lyrics were much better than Tools. I'm a bit odd in that I judge how much I like a band 50/50 music/lyrics.

Muse - Thoughts of a Dying Athiest.

Muse did a great cover of "Feeling Good" by.....um, I forgot, but it's great.

The Bitter End - Placebo

They do some amazing covers: "House of the Rising Sun" "Cant Take My Eyes Off You" and the one you mentioned, of course.

Tristania - My Lost Lenore

Another good cover is

Venus in Furs - Christian Death.

It's a cover of A Velvet Underground song of the same name. Check out both versions.

I've only heard the Velvet Underground version, and thats quite good so I will definatly check out the other. Speaking of good covers:

Switchblade Symphony - Nightshift.

Tina Root has an amazing Voice.

Chain - Switchblade Symphony.

Yes, she most certainly does.

Switchblade Symphony - Dollhouse [Razed in black mix].

Razed In Black is an Awesome Band!!

This Is My Life - Combichrist

Indeed, another band that does amazing covers. "Part of me" and Cherub Rock".

Apocalptica - Prolouge.

I never did like Apocalyptica.

In God We trust - Alien Sex Fiend

Why not? If you dont mind me asking.

Bella Morte - Whispers.

A very very good song Geisha.

Bella Morte - Angels and Faith.

Sonata Arctica - The Cage

I have a long road ahead.....

Songs of the Doomed - H.S.T

This Shit Will Fuck You Up ~ CombiChrist

Fields of the Nephilim `Love Under Will`


`Through the cracks and hollows, the earth is good...`

Siouxsie & The Banshees - Jigsaw Feeling

"Lullabye" by Christian Death [featurring Rozz Williams]. It's actually the original version of "Infans Vexatio" [from the album "Insanus, Ultio, Proditio, Misericordiaque"]. The version with Valor on vocals sucks hella ass! That & he uses a completely different chorus which didn't flow with the song's music too well. Again, fuck Valor. Rozz will always be the man!

Bathory `Blood Fire Death`

Bathory is one of my all time favourite bands, classic black metal at its best.

X-Japan - Kurenai

The Amelie soundtrack by Yann Tiersen

*contented sigh* I love French accordion.

That was such a wonderful movie. And the music from it was quite freakin' good.

Murderdolls - Dressed to Depress.

Scum of the Earth- Rob Zombie

From one of the 00tziest of Industrial Albums :)

This Is My Rifle - Combichrist

Cex - Kill Me


The one-man electronica/industrial/hip-hop project of one Rjyan Kidwell. I'm thinking this might be what the young Trent Reznor would have sounded like if he was more of a hipster, took himself less seriously and could actually articulate his angst beyond the realm of the vague and misanthropic.

Pit, you crack me up!

Demonista, what does '00tziest' mean?

Path, I'm lookin' for that song!

Always glad to be of service, my lovely Wolfie!

I'm serious, though. I like NIN up until "The Downward Spiral" period, and I think "The Fragile" had some interesting sounds on it, but now I think he's just pathetic. His lyrics are banal, the melodies predictable, and his vocals ridiculously limited, with that annoying, breathy ending on every single line. He's basically become a parody of himself.

Bah.


Currently listening to the awesome Japanese hardcore band Envy. Specifically, their album "A Dead Sinking Story", from 2003.

Sabbat `A Cautionary Tale`

"Enemy Inside" by Social Construct. Hocico/Velvet Acid Christ/Wumpscut-style Anarcho-Industrial. [Even Pitseleh would appreciate this!]

Trivium. if you have their albums then your know that's all a need to say.

Cat Power - I Don't Blame You

Space Odyssey - David Bowie

Venom `Witching Hour`

That sucks, I only know a couple of songs from 'Downward Spiral'. I like 'Pretty Hate Machine', though. Especially Terrible Lie.

Hey! I love some of the lyrics on NIN's latest album! *pokes tongue out at pitseleh*
These ones are from "Right Where it Belongs":

What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks?
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?

What if all the world's inside of your head
Just creations of your own?
Your devils and your gods
All the living and the dead
And you're really all alone?
You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the woods
While you're hiding in the trees

Tool - The Grudge

And after all these years I think I finally understand the part about saturn...wow.

Panzerchrist - Before Life
Chaoswave - The White Noise Within

Hehehe... Yeah, those are actually not too bad. What irks me though, is his general self-centered and pessimistic perspective, which hasn't changed one iota since the first album. I mean, I know money doesn't necessarily make you happy, but I find it hard to take this kind of angst seriously when it comes from a rich, respected and well-fed middle-aged man. Plus I have read some interviews where he generally comes across as kind of bitter and narrow-minded, which put me off him a bit.


On topic, I'm currently listening to a rather enchanting blend of Japanese folk music and psychedelia -

Ayuo & Ohta Hiromi - One Step Further; from the "Red Moon" album.

Bella Morte - The Quiet


From the album of the same name. Just had to add this, 'cause it's just so damn good!

Fields of the Nephilim `SlowKill`

The song that I can’t stop lessoning to today is ”Yesterday” by Staind, it’s on 14 Shades of Grey. It describes how I feel about my ex girlfriend perfectly. Isn’t funny how when you fall in love a different kind of music that you never paid much attention too suddenly you get the meaning of . But then when you get f**ked over there also comes the other music to help you get over it.

My Dying Bride `The Thrash of Naked Limbs`

Best metal song of all time...

Metallica - Hallowed Be Thy Name.

Surely you mean Iron Maiden, `Hallowed be Thy Name` is on their `Number of the Beast` album :).
