Goth Rock
 

Been watching a bit of Scuzz at the weekend and came across "Within Temptation" so popped out and bought the latest album. Have to say it's very good :thumb:

Lead singer is a bit tasty too :)

I think 'Within Temptation' are pretty poor IMO. It's the same with Nightwish - can't quite see what the deal is (I have Once and find it just sooo cheesy).

Recommend Lacuna Coil esp. Comalies (along the same lines as WI but with the hottest front-woman I've seen).

Not suprising we haven't seen another album from Evanescence - they've had their day (but made a shed-load of cash so good luck to them).

Currently in the studio recording follow up to "Fallen"

They've been in the studio for the last year. Since Ben Moody left I think they're in real trouble.

Meet Cristina of Lacuna Coil (swoon) -

Only time will tell on that one. But don't forget that Amy had a big part in writing most of their stuff, it's not as if she's just there to sing and look nice. With any luck she'll pull off a decent 2nd album, I'm hoping it'll be stuff more along the lines of "My Immortal" and "Hello" on Fallen. :)

My main criticism of 'Fallen' was that all the songs had pretty much the same feel and tempo and it became (IMO) repetitive after the genius of Bring Me Back To Life (this and Tourniquet being my fav tracks of the album).

I hope that the new album does see the light of day, but I'll stand by my doubts as to whether it'll be any good.

TBH I think the tracks sound much better live, the album versions do sound repetitive on first listen. My favourites are Everybody's fool and Hauntd, bt the live cover of Thoughless was brilliant.

Ben Moody left well before the 2nd tour (headlining the bigger venues) of the US\Europe, I saw them 2 or 3 times across both tours and felt that without Moody they were a lot heavier.

Amy Lee has already stated the new tracks are very Evanescence but acknowledges that they can't just turn out the same stuff, I really hope they do pull it off but even to achieve half the sales of fallen will be a major achievement.

How many bands have released a more competent 2nd album only for it to misfire in terms of sales though.

what about REAL goth music...? the Mission? the Cure...? The Sisters of Mercy...? none of this modern rubbish for me thanks!!

Were any of these any good? Must have passed me by, oh well! :thumb:

was about 20 years ago, when goth was still goth! :D

Sh1t - just realised it was 20 years ago that I first came across Metallica and Megadeth - oh god, I'm feeling old now! :o :D

How about a bit of trance or house

:notworthy

This is a thread about MUSIC! ;)

However, feel free to start your own thread! :thumb:

i saw Megadeth play Monsters of Rock in the late 80's i think :eek:

Oh and i suppose grown men wearing make up and moaning is music?

:norty:

Well, all the bands mentioned at the start of this thread are fronted by women (and yes, it's ok with me if they wear makeup if they want!) ;)

Glad someone noticed

Cradle. Cradle! CRADLE!

The Cure passed you by, how old are you lol :eek:


Unless ive missed some sarcasm there! :Suspiciou

Yep, you missed some sarcasm ;) (33 btw)

I used to be seriously into the Cure years ago, as well as G'n'R, Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer etc. I tried really hard to 'get' the Cult, Sisters etc but it just wasn't my thing at all. I know Evanescence is nothing like 'proper' goth, but I really like it all the same. Fallen (or the live CD) is probably the one I listen to most out of my collection.

Ive seen the Cult live, so :cool:

I remember seeing Judas Priest waaaaaaaay back. I`ve been in love with Amy though for some time ;)

Now she is fine! :D

Goth women are very beautiful... :D

i've seen the Damned a few times, and Sisters of Mercy and a few lesser known goth groups - Sins of the FLesh and Ruibicon to name a couple...

seen countless heavy rock groups, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Judas Priest etc etc... :D :D :D

Please, don't bring The Cure into a thread about music. :)

Now we're talking. :thumb:
