The Velvet Underground are only overrated by hipster snobs
Like myself....except I don't have anything against The Beatles.
-
And to add to that post, Boards of Canada and Squarepusher
Do it.

So who here likes Classical stuff? Right now I'm getting into Russian composers, Igor Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky, Sergei Prokofiev.
What are everyone's favourite Classical composers/musicians and why?
And don't just say "Beethoven" or "Mozart"

Die Rache Krieg Lied der Assyriche ~ Nile

Here's mine though there should be more than 5:
Guitarists:
1. Jimmy Page/Jimi Hendrix (couldn't say who's better)
3. Brian May
4. Frank Zappa
5. Paul Gilbert
I have to say, Paul Gilbert is awesome. He's just as technical as guitarists like Vai or Malmsteen, but his songs are really interesting and creative nonetheless. Even his purely instrumental stuff is awesome, hell, especially.

Lars is now an above average drummer? o_O When did that happen? =P
If I were to pick the best Thrash drummer it would be Dave Lombardo...but then again, Metallica isn't Thrash Metal anymore.
Anyways...I guess I should come up with a list or something.
Guitarists
1. John McLaughlin
2. Frank Zappa
3. Jimmy Page
4. Mikael Akerfeldt
5. Mike McCready
Drummers
1. Billy Cobham
2. Bill Bruford
3. Flo Mounier
4. Martin Lopez
5. John Bonham

I like...
Jeff Beck
The Mahavishnu Orchestra
Kyoto Jazz Massive
Jazzanova
Miles Davis
John McLaughlin (Solo)
Amongst others, but those are the major ones.
Kyoto Jazz Massive and Jazzanova are what's called "Nu-Jazz" (Stupid term I know) but they are absolutely amazing and you should check them out right away. KJM adds some pyschedelic elements to their music as well.

Remember, you don't always have to play fast blastbeats with a doublekick, it can be used for finesse and creativity as much as a single kick.
-
Nightwish...tonight.
-
Personally, I am a fan of their earlier stuff more...it's more jazzy, and that's what I like about them.
-
Here's my list...in alphabetical order
Arch Enemy
Chevelle (not entirely metal, however a lot of it is)
Mastodon
Metallica
Nightwish
Opeth
Pantera
Tool
Not a heck of a lot, that is just what I have on my computer, I am definitely going to get a lot more in the future though, when I find new metal bands to get into.
-
Opeth is awesome band.
Unfortunately the cookiemonster singer fucks up the music.
Sometimes they can add a good element to some of their songs, but he makes up for it by being a phenomenal singer (when he sings normally) and a kickass guitarist.
-
What is this obsession with playing music as fast as possible?
-
ok....16th notes, 250 BPM, and Go!
Jesus, I can barely play consistently at 170 BPM o_O
That would be some feat....Billy Cobham could do it I think
-
Yes, a floor tom can be tuned to sound almost exactly like a bass drum and be used as such...I've done it myself.

Solider of Fortune ~ Opeth
BLOODY AMAZING SONG!!!
-
I'm alway looking for "new" music. It's more or less an addiction for me, to find something great that I've never heard before. I'm diggin both in the past and present to find it.
There are lots of good stuff bein made today, and I love goin to conserts.
That's pretty much my feelings, I'm still looking for that "sound" and probably always will be.
-
I don't think so, I mean, it's fucking HARD to do a triplet with only one bass pedal, I've only been able to do it a few times the way it sounds on the records.

The Flaming Lips
These guys have been around since 1984, 12 albums out, their new stuff is really trippy psychedelic rock stuff. Very very good band, also one of the most creative bands of all time.
Tool
Progressive metal band, very experimental with different sounds and tones. They're *really* talented musically, Danny Carey is one of the best drummers of all time in my opinion. They have 4 albums one EP, and a box set out right now. Check em' out. If you need more validation that they are awesome, Robert Fripp of King Crimson is a huge fan, and they opened for Tool on one of their tours.
Portishead
A mixture of Smooth Jazz and Hip-Hop. The singer is a woman named Beth Gibbons, she has an extremely unique voice, what I would consider "Jazz singing". They have a new album coming out this week, as well as two previous albums.
Queens of The Stone Age
Stoner rock, very heavy riffs and experimental song/album structures. Best way to describe them would be a cross between Nine Inch Nails and Zeppelin.
Opeth
The band in my avatar, a mixture of Jazz Fusion and Death Metal, very very awesome. They are from Sweden, and they have about 9 albums out.
If you need more recommendations than this, let me know.

I have an anxiety disorder and am pretty anti-social. So I guess I fit the descriptors of this thread.
