What metal do you listen to?

[LooseCaboose]

Don't forget Che Fu (but then again, he's not metal ), Elemenop etc

I like Che-Fu much better when he was with Supergroove, we dont play stuff like Che-Fu, King Kapisi or Nesian Mystik because they are more hip-hop/rap than rock/metal and Im sick of Elemenop, they get so much radio bashing.

in my opinion its the completely wrong thing for a DJ to be touching, but then again im not a DJ.

Our club has kind of a niche market, so most of the customers are into Tool (or similar) anyway. Alot of Tool doesn't work because its long and somewhat boring (from a dancing/headbanging point of view), songs like Schism, Parabola, Jimmy and Pushit are all really good songs but just havent got what it takes to play in a club. The songs I play by Tool are Sober, Prison sex(early), Stinkfist, Eulogy(with about 1:00-1:30 cut off the start), 46&2, Hooker(Occasionally) and Aenema.

Sex Pistols, The Clash. That's punk.

Hey someone else who knows what punk really is. I feel like going off on a rant every time I hear someone say "Im into punk music, like Avril Leverene and Good Charlotte".

Don't say trance is crap or horrible, its a difficult genre of music that has a 99% crap release rate

Ive got a couple of Gatecrasher compilations in my Cd collection, which I listen to every now and then when Im in the right mood, I much prefer stuff that has vocals and is a little more innovative than just boom-chish-boom-chish with a synth over the top of it. I have heard some very cool trance stuff from friends trance vinyl collections.

Back to the actual topic; don't diss a type of music you don't like, because you just can't (imho) if you don't understand it.

That was the biggest lesson I learned when I started DJing, you have to appreciate music for what it is whether you like it or not. I think some music is just plain crap (unmelodic, poorly constructed), but I still find my self singing along to the occasional pop or even limp bizkit song (damn you ahead of the barricade ;-)).

One of my favorite songs for instance is Careful with that Axe Eugene by Pink Floyd (did anyone else leap out of their skin the first time they heard this?), most people would think its a crap song the first time they heard it, but it kind of grows on you.
