yea, old school rap is pretty good
"YYZ" - Rush
that is modern ones i listen to Old school Rap sometimes and i dont listen to those random ones and the lyrics is better with the ryhtm which is hard to write
Btw by rock i meant those emo ones those ones that just shout i dont like i like ppl like linkin park (although they do shout but it is speacial ) those kinda rock songs i like and i dont know much about all this different rock
Is that the first time you heard that song!?I think I fell in love.
I DO like Rammstein. They're a solid group, but sometimes they anoy me because all their music sorta sounds the same. I think they're more of a Death Metal group, but I don't know what genre they call themselves.I like music that uses sound effects and is in a language i dont understand its also pretty hardcore
Its called rammstein
They should. It depends on the amount of measures they take. I forget exact details, but if they use the theme, I'm pretty sure someone has to pay royalties somewhare. i'm not completly sure, though. I feel your pain about rap/hiphop. I really don't like how rap is really easy to loop. Pop music is now performed by a 30 yr old, 200 lb. (yes I'm stereotyping) guy sitting in front of a mixing board creating sound loops. If you see rappers/hip hoppers (?), they don't have a band!P.S. I listen to a Hip Hop / Rap station on my bus rides (cannot be avoided!), and I heard a new song which I despise with every ounce of loathing power in my physical and mental being. I dont even know what its called, but it stole the chorus from "Breakfast in America" - Supertramp. They butchered that song, those bunch of fags. It is such a great song, but it just won't be the same any more after this monstrosity slaughtered it.
p.p.s. Do they have to pay royalties for taking that chorus?
Rap is about the lyrics. It is a very racial and ethnic music, actually. It's IS quite hard to compare two different almost completly different types of music. It might be easier to compare Prog with Orchestral works, since both have more similarities than Rap and Prog. Rap is not all that rythimicly challenging, actually. Most of them have a very simple beat (we all know that) and the rapper usually raps in quarter-note, triplet, or sixteenth note rythems. If you wrote out the rythem, it would be quite simple.that is modern ones i listen to Old school Rap sometimes and i dont listen to those random ones and the lyrics is better with the ryhtm which is hard to write
Depends on what group. Each group has a is different style. My personal favorite (which I said plenty of times before) is Dream Theater. Mostly because they're all well known and extremly artistic musicians. They can play in various styles too, so they're mosic veries from piece to piece. I sorta like to compare them with Opras, because they're albums often tell stories.P.S. Prog rock has really good and harmonical instrumental music.
I still think they're still the same, just a different lable. Certainly sound the same.Ya sorry, I dont really even know exactly what Hip Hop was. I didn't know if like 50 cent or Tupac counted as rap or hip hop. Because sometimes you see "genre: rap/hip hop" :S
Dream Theater has several songs that last 15+ minutes. everything they do is amazing! Sorry, but check their profiles.Try a 10+ min Hip-Hop song without boring me out.
I still think they're still the same, just a different lable. Certainly sound the same.
Maybe. I also HATE 10+ min RnR songs. I only dig 10+ min songs with the "Grand" feeling, aka with operatic stuff, orchestra and every level of music intensity (soft, melodic piano all the way to head banging heavy metal, in the same song). Yes, my 10+ min songs are extremely narrow in terms of style.
p.s. They're called "Epic" songs
Rammstein is in German, in case you were interested in knowing.
3rd Degree, track 3: Misunderstood
[music by Myung, Petrucci, Portnoy, Rudess]
[lyrics by John Petrucci]
Waiting
In the calm of desolation
Wanting to break
From this circle of confusion
Sleeping
In the depths of isolation
Trying to wake
From this daydream of illusion
How can I feel abandoned even when the world surrounds me
How can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me
How can I know so many
Never really knowing anyone
If I seem superhuman
I have been
Misunderstood
It challenges the essence of my soul
And leaves me in a state of disconnection
As I navigate the maze of self control
Playing a lion being led to a cage
I turn from a thief to a beggar
From a god to God save me
How can I feel abandoned even when the world surrounds me
How can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me
How can I know so many
Never really knowing anyone
If I seem superhuman
I have been
Misunderstood
Playing a lion being led to a cage
I turn from surreal to seclusion
From love to disdain
From belief to delusion
From a thief to a beggar
From a god to God save me
How can I feel abandoned even when the world surrounds me
How can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me
How can I know so many
Never really knowing anyone
If I seem superhuman
I have been
Misunderstood
Chorus:
This is why I’m hot(x2)
This is why(x2) uh
This is why I’m hot (uh)
This is why I’m hot(x2) whoo
This is why(x2)
This is why I’m hot
I’m hot coz I’m fly (fly)
You ain’t coz you’re not (mims)
This is why x2
This is why I’m hot(x2)
Verse 1:
This is why I’m hot
I dont gotta rap
I can sell a mill sell you nothing on the track
I represent New York
I got it on my back
And they say that we lost it
So I’mma bring it back
I love the dirty dirty
Coz niggas show me love
The ladies start to bounce
As soon as I hit the club
But in the Midwest
They love to take it slow
So when I hit the H
I watch you get it on the floor
And if you needed hyphy
I take it to the bay
Frisco to Sac town
They do it eryday
Coppin a Hollywood
As soon as I hit LA
I’m in that low low
I do it the cali way
And when I hit the Chi
People say that I’m fly
They like the way I dress they like (they like my) my attire
move crowds from side to side
They ask me how I do it and simply I reply
(Chorus)
Verse 2:
This is why I’m hot
Catch me on the block
Every other day
Another bitch another drop
16 bars, 24 pop
44 songs, nigga gimme what you got
I’m in there driving cars
Push them off the lot
I’m into shutting stores down so I can shop
If you need a bird I can get it chopped
[these lyrics are found on http://www.songlyrics.com]
Tell ne what you need you know I get ‘em by the flock
I call my hommie black meet me on the ave
I hit wash heights with the money in the bag
we into big spinners
See my pimping never dragged
Find me with different women that you niggas never had
For those who say they know me know I’m focused on my cream
Playa you come between you’d better focus on the beam
I keep it so feen the way you see me lean
And when I say I’m hot my nigga this is what I mean
(Chorus)
Verse 3:
This is why I’m hot
Shorty see the drop
Ask me what I paid and I say yeah I paid a ?quap?
And then I hit the switch that take away the top
So chicks around the way they call me cream of the crop
They hop in the car
I tell them all about
We hit the studio they say they like the way I record
I gave you black train and I did you wrong
So everytime I see them and they tell me that’s their song
They say I’m the bomb
They love the way the charm hanging from the neck
And compliments the arm which compliments the ear then comes the gear
So when I hit the room the shorties stop and stare
Then niggas start to hate rearrange their face
Little do they know I keep them things by waistside
I reply nobody gotta die
Similar to lil wiz coz I got the fire
(Chorus)
Blind Guardian - And Then There Was Silence (14:02) (Epic Metal/Power Metal/Prog Metal/Prog Rock)
Turn your head and see the fields of flames
He carries along
From a distant place
He's on his way
He'll bring decay
(don't move along
cause things they will go wrong
the end is getting closer
day by day)
In shades of grey
We're doomed to face the night
Light's out of sight
Since we've reached the point of no return
We pray for starlight
We wait for the moon
The sky is empty
Alone in the unknown
We're getting nowhere
We have been betrayed by the wind and the rain
The sacred hall's empty and cold
The sacrifice made should not be done in vain
Revenge will be taken by Rome
We live a lie under the dying moon
Pale faced laughs doom
Indulges in delight
It's getting out of hand
The final curtain will fall
Hear my voice!
There is no choice!
There's no way out!
You'll find out!
We don't regret it
So many men have failed
But now he's gone
Go out and get it
The madman's head it shall be thyne
We don't regret it
That someone else dies hidden in disguise
Go out and get it
Orion's hound shines bright
Don't you think it's time to stop
The chase around the ring
Just stop running, running
Round the ring
Don't you know that fate has been
Decided
By the gods
Feel the distance
Distance
Out of reach
Welcome to the end
Watch your step, Cassandra
You may fall
As I've stumbled on the field
(Sister mine
Death's a certain thing)
Find myself in darkest places
Find myself drifting away
And the otherworld
The otherworld appears
Find myself side she dies in vain
I cannot be freed
I'm falling down
As time runs faster
Moves towards disaster
The ferryman will wait for you my dear
And then there was silence
Just a voice from the otherworld
Like a leaf in an icy world
Memories will fade
[Chorus]
Misty tales and poems lost
All the bliss and beauty
Will be gone
Will my weary soul find release for a while
At the moment of Death I will smile
It's the triumph of shame and disease
Iliad
Raise my hands and praise the day
Break the spell show me the way
In decay
The flame of Troy will shine bright
The newborn child would carry ruin to the hall
The newborn's death will be a blessing to us all
Good choice?
Bad choice?
Out of three
You've chosen misery
Power and wisdom you deny
(Bad choice, Bad choice)
War is the only answer
When love will conquer fear
So the judgement's been made
To the fairest the graceful says
Badly he fails
Warning!
Feel the heat of passion father king
(Don't let him in, don't let her in)
Desire, lust, obsession -
Death - they'll bring
We can't get out once they are in
She's like the sunrise
Outshines the moon at night
Precious like starlight
She'll bring in a murderous prize
In darkness grows the seed of man's defeat
Jealousy!
I can clearly see the end now!
I can clearly see the end now!
I can clearly see the end now!
The thread of life is spun
The coin's been placed below my tongue
Never give up
Never give in
Be on our side
So we can win
Never give up
Never give in
Be on our side
Old moon's time is soon to come
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Nothing to lose
Like one we'll stand
We'll face the storm
Created by a man
Troy! Troy! Troy! Troy!
And as the lion slaughters man
(Troy! Troy! Troy! Troy!)
I am the wolf and you're the lamb
Hallowed Troy shall fall
Round the walls
Faith is shattered bodies fall
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Nothing to lose
Like one we'll stand
It's all for one and
One for
All
We live for will be wiped out
I feel that something's wrong
Surprise, surprise they're gone
Full moon your time goes by
And new moon still kept out of sight
We live - we die
[Chorus]
Misty tales and poems lost
All the bliss and beauty
Will be gone
Will my weary soul find release for a while
At the moment of Death I will smile
It's the triumph of shame and disease
Iliad
Raise my hands and praise the day
Break the spell show me the way
In decay
The flame of Troy will shine bright
Roam in Darkness
Roam in Darkness
(Spread the vision)
Roam in Darkness
(Spread the vision)
Roam in Darkness
(Spread the vision)
Roam in Darkness
(We will be lost if you truly believe)
Roam in Darkness
(We will be lost if you truly believe)
Troy in Darkness
(There's a cold emptiness...)
That they've gone away
(... in our hearts)
And wont come back
They'll tear down the wall to bring it in
They'll truly believe in the lie (Lie! Lie!)
With blossoms they'll welcome the
Old foe
The vision's so clear
When day and dream unite
The end is near
You better be prepared
Nah ahahaahahahaaa!
(Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah-nah-nah naaaaah)
The nightmare shall be over now
There's nothing more to fear
Nah ahahaahahahaaa!
(Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah-nah-nah naaaaah)
Come join in our singing
And dance with us now
Nah ahahaahahahaaa!
(Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah-nah-nah naaaaah)
The nightmare shall be over now
There's nothing more to fear
Nah ahahaahahahaaa!
(Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah-nah-nah naaaaah)
The war it is over forevermore
No hope
The blind leads the blind
Carry on
Though future's denied
Mare or stallion
There's far more inside
We are in at the kill
We'll cheerfully die
[Chorus]
Misty tales and poems lost
All the bliss and beauty
Will be gone
Will my weary soul find release for a while
At the moment of death I will smile
It's the triumph of shame and disease
Iliad
Raise my hands and praise the day
Break the spell show me the way
In decay
The flame of Troy will shine bright
Its holy light shines on
So the judgement's been made
We're condemned though the trial's
Far ahead
The crack of doom
Father
Your handsome son is heading home
Still the wind blows
Calm and silent
Carries news from a distant shore
Still the wind blows
Calm and silent
Carries news from a distant shore
Still the wind blows
Calm and silent
(Heading home!)
Carries news from a distant shore
Still the wind blows
Calm and silent
(Heading home!)
Carries news from a distant shore
Can't get it out of my head
(Out of mind
Can't get it)
Can't get it out of my head
(Out of mind
Can't get it)
Can't get it out of my head
(Out of mind
Can't get it)
Can't get it out of my head
(Out of mind
Can't get it)
Sorrow and Defeat
Sorrow and Defeat
X Japan - Art of Life - 28:58 (Prog Metal/Prog Rock/Power Metal)
Desert Rose
Why do you live alone
If you are sad
I'll make you leave this life
Are you white, blue or bloody red
All I can see is drowning in cold grey sand
The winds of time
You knock me to the ground
I'm dying of thirst
I wanna run away
I don't know how to set me free to live
My mind cries out feeling pain
I've been roaming to find myself
How long have I been feeling endless hurt
Falling down, rain flows into my heart
In the pain I'm waiting for you
Can't go back
No place to go back to
Life is lost, Flowers fall
If it's all dreams
Now wake me up
If it's all real
Just kill me
I'm making the wall inside my heart
I don't wanna let my emotions get out
It scares me to look at the world
Don't want to find myself lost in your eyes
I tried to drown my past in grey
I never wanna feel more pain
Ran away from you without saying any words
What I don't wanna lose is love
Through my eyes
Time goes by like tears
My emotion's losing the color of life
Kill my heart
Release all my pain
I'm shouting out loud
Insanity takes hold over me
Turning away from the wall
Nothing I can see
The scream deep inside
reflecting another person in my heart
He calls me from within
"All existence you see before you
must be wiped out :
Dream, Reality, Memories,
and Yourself"
I begin to lose control of myself
My lust is so blind, destroys my mind
Nobody can stop my turning to madness
No matter how you try to hold me in your heart
Why do you wanna raise these walls
I don't know the meaning of hatred
My brain gets blown away hearing words of lies
I only want to hold your love
Stab the dolls filled with hate
Wash yourself with their blood
Drive into the raging current of time
Swing your murderous weapon into the belly
"the earth"
Shout and start creating confusion
Shed your blood for pleasure
And what ? for love ?
What am I supposed to do ?
I believe in the madness called "Now"
Past and future prison my heart
Time is blind
But I wanna trace my love
on the wall of time, over pain in my heart
Art of life
Insane blade stabbing dreams
Try to break all truth now
But I can't heal this broken heart in pain
Cannot start to live, Cannot end my life
Keep on crying
Close my eyes
Time breathes I can hear
All love and sadness
melt in my heart
Dry my tears
Wipe my bloody face
I wanna feel me living my life
outside my walls
You can't draw a picture of yesterday, so
You're painting your heart with your blood
You can't say "No"
Only turning the wheel of time
with a rope around your neck
You build a wall of morality and take a breath
from between the bricks
You make up imaginary enemies and are chased by them
You're trying to commit suicide
You're satisfied with your prologue
Now you're painting your first chapter black
You are putting the scraps of life together
and trying to make an asylum for yourself
You're hitting a bell at the edge of the stage
and
You are trying to kill me
I believe in the madness called "Now"
Time goes flowing, breaking my heart
Wanna live
Can't let my heart kill myself
Still I haven't found what I'm looking for
Art of life
I try to stop myself
But my heart goes to destroy the truth
Tell me why
I want the meaning of my life
Do I try to live, Do I try to love
in my dream
--------------Piano Solo--------------
I'm breaking the wall inside my heart
I just wanna let my emotions get out
Nobody can stop
I'm running to freedom
No matter how you try to hold me in your world
Like a doll carried by the flow of time
I sacrificed the present moment for the future
I was in chains of memory half-blinded
Losing my heart, walking in the sea of dreams
Close my eyes
Rose breathes I can hear
All love and sadness melt in my heart
Dry my tears
Wipe my bloody face
I wanna feel me living my life
outside my mind
Dreams can make me mad
I can't leave my dream
I can't stop myself
Don't know what I am
What lies are truth ?
What truths are lies ?
I believe in the madness called "Now"
Time goes flowing, breaking my heart
Wanna to live
Can't let my heart kill myself
Still I haven't found what I'm looking for
Art of life
I try to stop myself
But my heart goes to destroy the truth
Tell me why
I want the meaning of my life
Do I try to live, Do I try to love
Art of life
An Eternal Bleeding heart
You never wanna breathe your last
Wanna live
Can't let my heart kill myself
Still I'm feeling for
A Rose is breathing love
in my life
