Good Misery Music

[Spike]

Any suggestions? I'm looking for serious guitar strumming angst.

 

[marco]

yea well rock area or metal area.....slayer is good hehe

 

[Gendo]

what sort of angst? slow and sad? or angry and frantic or stupidly complicated or 3 chord?

cant go wrong with

Tool
Korn
Metallica
Queens of the Stone age
The Living End
Smashing Pumpkins

 

[Spike]

Slow and Sad angst is what I like best

 

[3ffect]

silverchiar very good stuff

 

[Double Agent]

i agree.. silverchair is a good choice. also, i suggest nirvana.. lots of angsty stuff there..

 

[Spike]

I've been listening to Nirvana since I was 13 favortie band. I'll try Silverchair.

 

[Gendo]

Silverchair....all I ever hear, I live in Newcastle Australia where there from....man, talk about uppity back when they thought they were the 2nd coming....they have either broken up now or taken a hiatus while Daniel Johns does his thing with Paul Mac in The Disassociatives (spelling)

 

[marco]

slow.....i dont listen to slow music

maybe dream theatre is something for you

 

[Spike]

Dreamtheater is a bit too much for me. The whole "Change of Seasons" thing is impressive I guess but not for me. "Change of Seasons" is a 25 minute song for anyone who doesn't know Dreamtheater.

 

[Gendo]

wow....thats bloody epic

 

[marco]

its okay though...symphony X maybe or some old music like the dire straits

 

[Sex-Dwarf]

Nine Inch Nails : pretty much all of Pretty Hate Machine

 

[marco]

godsmack or spineshank is better than nin

but he said slow

 

[Sex-Dwarf]

godsmack or spineshank is better than nin

but he said slow

I will have you know Trent Reznor is god !

 

[marco]

thanks but i disagree with that lol

i just like godsmack more......drowning pool is also good

 

[jeremy108]

k, are we looking for angst or pure, genuine misery? elliott smith IS misery. and he sure qualifies as guitar-strumming, although probably not what you had in mind.


ooh, his las album is being released now, i'm happy.

 

[Danté's Prayer]

Creed

or Lacuna Coil ... they're great but they say it's gothic don't really think of it as gotich though ... "Heaven's a Lie" by them is such a great song unkrock: heavy guitars and then some laymusic: love it
