Saw that there's a thread for Hiphop and Asian music and all that other stuff but nothing for all the "good stuff" that's played on the Fox (99.3) or on the Zone (91.3).

Post about new tunes, upcoming concerts, indie bands, whatever and whatnot about ROCK :buttrock:

[DeadMeat]

Yeah I love rock as much as I love Hip-hop! Hell I listen to all types of music besides country.

Anyways... anything Billy Talent will guarantee to get you screaming!

[mako]

I want to see Billy Talent play at the Commodore again. Don't like those big, Plaza of Nations type shows

[mako]

anybody watching Rockstar Supernova?

The Killers did a great job at the MTV awards the other night.
Axl Rose on the other hand ... he's messed up

[svelt]

There's nothing good played on 99.3 CFox, unless you count the Metal Shop on Monday Nights 11PM-12PM. They were blasting new Maiden, Dragonforce and Trivium non stop. Now that's quality radio.

[mako]

there's a band called Dragonforce?
do they wear dragon costumes?

do they wear dragon costumes? of course. Every band lives their bandname. did you know members of Metallica like to wear knight armour on stage? I saw it on youtube so it must be true

I saw Tool a couple weeks back too. Just godly.

[mako]

i think some bands over do it though ... people pay more attention to what they wear than to their music

[mako]

who's going to the Killers show?

[DeadMeat]

Anyone got the Alien Ant Farm album? It's pretty awesome.


BTW. what's thta new Alexisonfire hit?

Dragonforce is not bad. They do tend to walk the line between amazing and amazingly cheesy.

Some stuff I've been listening to to lately that I suppose would fit the rock/alt are Wintersleep, Mew, Pride Tiger and New Pornographers

[mako]

any good music dvds to buy?

[no quarter]

Dream Theater's Score just came out if you're into that stuff. Haven't watched it yet as I'm waiting for a get together and watch with my friends. The Gigantour dvd is out too. I'd like to see that but only for half the bands in it.

I've always wondered how this show went. I remember when it first happened there were a lot of ppl, including myself, that were a little disappointed. I was expecting more older songs for a 20th anniversary show. Then again, I read that they wanted to use a lot of songs that haven't previous been put on dvd.

That reminds me I haven't seen the when dream and day reunite show dvd yet.

[Razor Ramon HG]

Disturbed - Land of Confusion

2 thumbs up!

[mako]

totally didn't expect Lukas to be the last one standing ...

the two songs he did with Supernova weren't all that impressive. actually, Supernova isn't all that great of a name for a band either

really?

i've only watched one or two episodes of it and it was fairly obvious Lukas was going to take it.

[mako]

I just didn't think that they'd pick another Canadian to win it. I actually thought it was going to be Toby making the band. It was pretty far off for me to have a girl, even though Delilah was a incredible singer, to front Supernova.

Anybody recommend getting 'decemberunderground'?

For those who are INCUBUS fans:

I got an extra copy of the Alive @ Redrocks concert dvd for sale. Awesome, awesome dvd with loads of content from an awesome, awesome band. Also comes with a complementary cd with live tracks. PM if interested.

KILLERS SHOW WAS (excuse my pun) KILLER!
Fantastic show ... not as good as the first time i saw them at the Commodore but a close second. Was anybody else there? Loved how they closed out the show.

Dragonforce just begs to be laughed at at every turn, but it works in their favour. It's cool but it just sounds silly to be seriously used in a song. I listen to them because they have an asian shredder.

Yeah that Incubus DVD isn't bad, some of the bass work on the old songs are impressive so props to their new bassist. I'm pretty eagerly waiting for their next album to drop in a couple of months.

[mako]

is that a sure thing for the new Incubus disc or just a rumour?
new material from them would be sweeeeet

Steve Vai's coming to town as part of Zappa plays Zappa. That's quite a dilemma for me as I'd absoluetely love to see Vai play (especially after missing his 2005 concert here) but the songs he did for Frank are way to weird for my tastes. But it'll be pretty godly watching him do an extended jam with Dweezil.

give these 2 groups a listen.

1) quietdrive
2) the red jumpsuit apparatus

you will NOT be disappointed

[mako]

any upcoming shows???

[svelt]

um the only possible ones I have on mind is the upcoming Incubus concert and that "Radio Rebellion" concert (Norma Jean/Between the buried and Me/Misery Signals/Fear before the march of flames). Might go to both, may go to neither.

the new MCR album is a touch above their old crap, but that doesn't mean it's any better than "sordidly mediocre". Sorry. However check out "Welcome to the Black Parade" for a pseudo-Bohemian Rhapsody ripoff.

[mako]

INCUBUS??!! WHERE, WHEN??

[litebrite]

^ heard on Fox 6 o'clock rock report a while back that the show is gonna be Jan 5.. at Orpheum. This is roughly what I remembered....... not 100% sure tho.

[mako]

anybody hear anything of when the incubus tix go on sale?

[mako]

anyone going to the Dears tomorrow?

[Rhetorical]

anyone go to the three days grace show last night. that was pretty entertaining

[mako]

"pretty entertaining" meaning what?

they made a fool outta themselves or they were actually good?

[Rhetorical]

it was actually pretty good. i was right by the stage and my ears were ringing for hours after the show. it was great

[mako]

how were the other bands?

theory of a deadman and who else? was it mobile

[Rhetorical]

here's the entry on my blog -- Beyond the Rhetoric (http://btr.michaelkwan.com/2006/11/26/three-days-grace-rocks-the-centre.aspx) -- about the show last night.

Opening act was Idle Sons, then Mobile, then Theory of a Deadman, then Three Days Grace. Pretty good value. Total show was like 4 hours, and a pair of near-front row tickets was just a touch over $100.

I got a couple of crappy cameraphone vids in the blog entry (http://btr.michaelkwan.com/2006/11/26/three-days-grace-rocks-the-centre.aspx) if you want to check that out.

[litebrite]

i went to the three days grace show. i was in row Z. :(

man... i guess i should have known that if it was @ the centre, there's bound to be seats. the energy's not the same when you can't jump around.. or when ppl around you are standing like logs.

btw wasnt it three days grace and then theory of a deadman?

and did any band come back for an encore? i left right after TOAD.. wanted to beat the crowd.

ETA: oh seems like the set was diff on the sat night show. i had gone to the friday night show.

[Rhetorical]

^yeah. the guy next to me mentioned that to me. the first two acts were the same, but for friday it was TOAD then TDG, whereas saturday it was the other way around.

was the song order the same? TDG opened with animal i have become

[NeoRonin]

Can anyone tell me how Mobile was? I haven't been able to catch them yet in Vancouver.

Anyone here a fan of Relient K? They've just released the first single from their new album to the public and it should hit the airwaves in December/January

Fucking awesome band.

Get Send Me an Angel, Red Sky, All That's Left and Image of the Invisible.

Keane's Crystal Ball is a pretty good song too.

[mako]

Saliva's new song ... Ladies and Gentlemen, there's a part where they go 'boom, boom' and it sounds exactly like POD's Boom song.

[mako]

something cool that i found out listening on the radio today:

there's a 'zero' track on Bloc Party's Silent Alarm cd

you have to pause in track 1 then rewind to get into the special hidden track


does anybody know any other hidden cool stuff from other cds?

[skyze]

if you like three days grace you should check out billy talent.

you cant really compara tdg with billy talent. they're completely different bands with different styles of music.

[skyze]

there style is different but they both practically preach about the same thing: pain and the like.

My Chemical Romance might be another option. Their old album not the new one. Haven't listened to it yet.

[mako]

well half the bands out there have some sort of song about pain, being angry or being mad.

there are or were many 'angry' bands out there: staind, puddle of mudd, default, theory of a deadman, nickelback. all very similiar bands with similiar songs.

[mako]

Trapt

heard these guys on the radio today and it made me remember something

they're a similiar 'style' to Three Days Grace because they're angry and their first single (Headstrong) actually came out around the same time as TDG's first single 'I Hate Everything About You' came out

[niptizzle]

http://www.burningborders.com/

this is my buddies band you guys should check 'em out!

[Rhetorical]

yeah, i like trapt. headstrong was part of the ost for nhl 2003 :p

Keane's Crystal Ball is a pretty good song too.

Thrice is excellent. I'd add Paper Tigers (AWESOMELY heavy song), Stare at the Sun, Atlantic and The Earth Will Shake. Hell, pretty much the whole Vheissu album was a success.

I wish I did have tickets to Incubus, I ended up liking Light Grenades after all.

[mako]

im kicking myself for not pre-ordering the cd and getting first dibs on tickets :(

[svelt]

Definitely. I heard the concert yesterday was absolutely intense. One I definitely regret not going to...

[mako]

It was AWESOME ... best show I've been to ever, followed closely by the first time that I saw them :D
Can you tell that I'm an Incubus fan hahah.

The opener, Albert Hammond Jr (guitarist from Stokes) was really good. If you like the Strokes, you'd like his stuff too. Very Strokes sounding though, but thats not surprising. I wish they were selling his cd there, I would've picked one up.

Incubus came on and it was solid from start to finish. The only beef that I had was that they didn't play Pardon Me!!! arrrrgh!
Other than that, it was insane. They played everything. Stellar, Make Yourself, Wish You Were Here, Drive, Megalomaniac, Anna Molly and about 5 other new tracks. Even did an acoustic version of New Skin.

Still need to get myself Light Grenades

there's a promo for that festival on CFOX for $10 less, if you signed up to get those fox rocks emails. May 20th is damn far away though, tough to ask to commit to that.

im liking the Monday lineup though ... i want to see AFI

[litebrite]

neil morrison was saying today on the fox that there's something everyone should know before purchasing their virgin festival tix.

anyone know what that is?

i'm hoping they'll put out a 2-day ticket package thing......

[mako]

or maybe Neil was just being an idiot :D

think i'll pick up some tickets tomorrow

[SchoolGlue]

does anyone know the password for the presale?
for the Virgin Festival i mean^^

[mako]

thefox

[TekDragon]

Found a few good songs. Mostly punk rock from me though.

Walkie Talkie Man by Steriogram
Would def recoment Silversun Pickups. Good song to start with is Lazy Eye.

edit: Also another great band to look into is Nightwish. They are supposed to be 'gothic metal,' but give them a listen. very unique sound and very heavy. And a female vocalist to top it off.

[merrymoocow]

update: metric just added to the bill at the virgin music festival. not sure what day theyll be playing.

[mako]

METRIC will play on day 2, Monday

SWEEETT!!

yeah it was one of the better shows i've been to this year. i didn't think the shins would play that many off of oh inverted.

viva voce doesn't f*ck around. i actually contemplated seeing them last year, but didn't realize they had such a noise-rock sound. kinda wished i checked it out.

[mako]

i was pleasantly surprised by them ... HUGE sound for just two people. the drummer/singer/guitar/harmonica/etc. etc. guy is quite talented to say the least =D

[mako]

Tokyo Police Club

seems to be the hype band of the moment

bought their cd, Lesson in Crime

they got really short songs but they're all really good

[SizzleChest]

maybe i'm wrong, but shouldn't music get progressively better? today's "rock" music doesn't compare with rock from the 60s-90s.

How many of today's bands do you think will make the rock and roll hall of fame. IMO, zero.

that's kind of a close minded statement. is music getting worse? well there's always going to be shitty music in every decade. there are tons of great bands who started in early 2000. maybe you're just not listening to the right bands.

as for how many bands will make the rock and roll hall of fame? well it's kind of too early to tell. most of those band will have only been around 6 years? consideration into RnR Hall of fame is 25 years.

[mako]

music is so diluted these days ... with all the different genres and such. but there are a lot of good, fresh sounding bands out there. if you're into that kind of stuff. but sadly, most kids out there these days listen to crap.

[merrymoocow]

you mean crap without the c? i dont understand why people would listen to that kinda stuff. i mean its cool if music has good beats and all but lyrics about being all that and being "pimpin." just not my style.

once again, there will always be one hit wonders, hot band of the week, whatever you want to call it. the 80's and 90's had more than their fair share.

longevity is also a tricky way to judge a band. many bands, good or bad won't last 10 years (the police, rage against the machine, nirvana - yea i realize the first 2 are reforming). you can even argue that some of the 10+ years bands, should've hung it up a while ago (metallica).

if anything music is a lot more diverse now due to the fact that its easier to get a hold of music (ipods/downloading/mp3 etc) and you really don't have to stick to listening to the radio. either way, if you're limiting yourself to listening to stuff from the 60s-90s then your missing out on a lot of good music.

i do believe however, that today's bands are judged by appearance and media hype just as much as their actual recordings. the big music companies have such a strangle hold on the listening audience without them even knowing it. they market their products so well. i almost consider it to be a mild form of brainwashing.

[mako]

there are many great bands out there, even many from Canada recently

the Dears, Arcade Fire, Stars ... there are bands out there that are trully talented

not to mention non-Canadian bands like the Shins who just played in Van recently and totally killed at the Commodore

malajube is great. indie rock from montreal w/ all french vocals, yet doesn't impede the music.

[mako]

i need to touch up on my french to listen to Malajube

How is the new Brand New album? I loved Deja Entadu. Where are they playing?

Vfest and Arctic Monkeys for me.

[mako]

haven't "really" listened to it yet but i should

'Jesus Christ' is a cool track off the new disc

they'll be playing at the Croatian Cultural Centre

[merrymoocow]

brand new's new cd is pretty decent. has a few weird tracks on it though. i say my favourites are millstone, you won't know, degausser, and jesus christ. cant wait for their concert.

[Trinity]

Brand New's album is fucking awesome. Sowing Season is my favourite off the CD, it's such a darker tone than all their other albums.

Can't wait for their concert either - best friend got me tickets to go see 'em for my birthday!

[Bulb Man]

YES! juz got my Interpol tick... for 90 bucks though.

aww well, still worth it! :D

[mako]

Originally posted by Bulb Man

that ticket is worth every penny

[mako]

it's been almost a week but wow ... Interpol was fan-freaking-tastic. i was waiting to hear C'mere though but what the heck, their set was marvelous. every single song they played was good.

i can't say the same for Lynx and Ram. did anybody else think that the girl was a terrible singer?

[Bulb Man]

damn, I should've waited for door tickets... or buy it off some people selling at the door for 40 bucks. But fuggit, the gig was f'n A... can't believe how well they played in live. Favorite song of the nite has to be Leif Erikson!
Opening band sucked though, the singer lost her voice after 3 or 4 songs... and the intruments were pretty bad, imo.

[mako]

some new additions to V-Fest

[merrymoocow]

Just came back from Brand New concert at the croatian cultural center. man that was good. and sweaty. i was soaked by the end of it. anyone here go to it? anyone know the name of the opening band? i thought they were decent... but not for the Brand New crowd.

[mako]

too many sweaty, rowdy litttle girls

[merrymoocow]

yah thats true... i wouldnt say "little" though. there were quite a few biggies there.

[merrymoocow]

does anyone know if the new feist cd's any good? if so, where can i pick one up... its sold out at most places now.

[mako]

who's going to V-Fest?

[Eff-1]

Me. I'm at VFest working event production both days. Hope it doesn't rain too much tomorrow...

[mako]

supposed to be alright on Monday though

[mako]

Eff-1, any special news or secrets to leak to us? :p

[mako]

hopefully it warms up a bit today for V

[merrymoocow]

what did everyone think of v-fest?

i went monday and the weather was nice out and the bands were rocking. if its your first time seeing some of the bands, they put on great shows. a little short for me though. 45 mintues a band. i personally enjoyed smoosh... hahahahah.

[mako]

AFI played close to a hour

Killers were slotted to play for about a hour and a half and they ended up playing a little less than a hour but supposedly Brandon was ill

[Eff-1]

Even though it was a shortened set, we are lucky we got to see The Killers at all. They had to cancel Seattle and LA right before us, and they only played 2 songs in Denver.

Billy Talent and Mariana's Trench was all I really wanted to see, and they were not bad. The rain was horrible.

[merrymoocow]

i only went day 2 and it was nice and sunny and not too hot. pretty much the perfect day i would say. i heard day 1 it was pouring sheets. does any one know how rise against or my chemical romance did? not my favourite bands but would have been nice to see. i really liked metric. played some new stuff that they might put on the next album. plus emily haines is soooooo hot. what did anyone catch mother mother? i missed it...

[MegaHurtz]

I thought MCR and rise against both put on a great show. MCR was IMO the best performance, the pyrotechnics and everything else were sick. I will admit I listen to MCR more than the killers so I may be a little biased, but I still thought MCR had the best show. Rise Against kicked ass, what else can I say, I'm a big fan and they did a great job. Billy Talent had a shitty set IMO, I've seen them I think 4 times now and this was the worst one.

yeah, metric did put on a good show. one band that blew me away was mute math. their show was just crazy, probably the most memorable one for me becuase i wasn't expecting it.

[mako]

NEW MUSIC NEWS:

[Meowjin]

I'm more excited for the new matt good album :D

GT-[R]

check out arctic monkeys.

[mako]

those three bands you listed are pretty different ... however Muse has been said to sound very similiar to Radiohead

yeah i checked them out, dont really like them, kinda weird... i listen to alot of j-rock, and i find muse and lp sound the closest...

[mako]

so are you into yelling/angry music?

breaking benjamin, chevelle

[GT-[R]]

no no, no yelling, just more dark i guess... definately not the main stream poppy shit like blink and sum41 etc

[mako]

[chr1s]

try red hot chili peppers.. ahahaha

[mako]

is that Axl Rose?

[chr1s]

of course that's axl rose.. :):)
My favourite vocalist. A guilty pleasure of mine is watching youtube videos of him getting pissed

[mako]

Our Love to Admire - Interpol ... awesome ... just awesome

[kazuki]

^ what are some good older songs/albums from interpol?

I just started to listen to our love to admire.. I must say they are pretty awesome. Reminds me of the killers.

[mako]

everything interpol makes and touches is good

check out Slow Hands and Evil from their last album Antics for a little taste ... but all their songs are quite amazing

nothing against the Killers cause I like them too but they are nothing like Interpol =)

[Gorilla TJ]

I CANT BELIEVE no one is talking about the SMASHING PUMPKINS!

Zeigeist is awesome. Tomorrow night on Letterman will be a great song performed too, That's the Way (My love is).

enjoy

[merrymoocow]

obstacle 1 from "turn on the bright lights" is one of my favourites from interpol.

anyone listening to the new old stuff from metric?

[jjhennigan]

Deftones ruuuule

Leif Erikson
Untitled

Narc

[mako]

[Meowjin]

I just bought arctic monkey tickets and have my matt good tickets sitting right next to me :D

[mako]

wish i'd seen the monkeys at the Commodore ... now they're playing the forum

[kazuki]

I jsut dled the totbl and antics
Im also listening to bloc party right now. Also found out about radiohead and muse. OK computer is sooo good.

Kinda newb to rock&alternative.. waht else is good haha?

[merrymoocow]

since it still seems like were talking about some interpol... "all fired up" off our love to admire reminds me of radiohead rifts and killers lyrics (reference to souls). anyone else agree? anyways. at first listen, i didnt like the new interpol so much. but now i cant get enough of it.

[Meowjin]

Damn... Matt Good Did it again. Hospital Music Is an AMAZING Album. It also reached amazon and itunes best sellers./

[Bulb Man]

any good songs you can recommend? i heard "do you realise" and i like songs along those lines.

[mako]

where they playing?

[Bulb Man]

To be honest, I've only heard a few that I can remember (and I like).. such as My Cosmic Autumn Rebellion, Mr. Ambulance Driver, and of course, Race for the Prize. Their Radiohead cover of Knives Out is also pretty cool.

They are playing at Orpheum on Sept 18th. Got the ticks, 2 bills for the f'n pair.

[NeoRonin]

There are a few great FL songs, my favourites being..

Yeah Yeah Yeah Song
Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
The W.A.N.D.
It Overtakes Me/ The Stars Are So Big...I am So Small...Do I Stand a Chance?
Mr. Ambulance Driver

Most of those being their most recent songs.

[merrymoocow]

the video for the yeah yeah yeah song was pretty funny. i was laughing pretty loud when they taped the guy with hamburgers and sicked the fatties on him.

PS: I CANT STOP LISTENING TO YOSHIMI BATTLES THE PINK ROBOTS!!!

[Bulb Man]

Cool, what's the deal with them? They broke up and are back together now?

[mako]

rumors were that they were getting back together since Audioslave broke up

havnt heard anything since though

[Farfetched]

They're still playing shows. Word is, new album isn't that likely in the near future.

[Trinity]

Anyone here listen to Brand New?

[Inaii]

Sigh... that was the wrong thread.... sorry about that.
