3. Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls

4. Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama. Always get my boogie shoes on to this one!

5. Wham - Club Tropicana. God how embarrassing - but reminds me of my first holiday away with the lads - Club 18-30 in Ibiza!

6. Foo Fighters - Best of You. Went to the Wembley gig last month - best gig ever! esp. when John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page appeared on stage for the encore - fuffin amazin!

7. Once bought Madonna's Holiday................

8. The Boxer - Simon and Garfunkel. Tough choice this one, but I suppose I will have to go with this as it is great musically and lyrically

9. David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust. Mick Ronson at his best!

10. The Cure - Just Like Heaven. Our first dance when we got married - beautiful song

11. The Smiths - Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now. Reminds me of Uni and many a drunken night listening to The Smiths - also singing along to Mozza at Glasto.






OK - now you turn

1. The first record you bought?

7" - either Absolute Beginners by The Jam or Flash by Queen
12" - Wham Rap - Wham

3. The song that reminds you of your first true love?

Personal Jesus - Depeche Mode

4. A song that's guaranteed to make you dance?

5. Your favourite holiday track?

Bigmouth Strikes Again - The Smiths

6. The song you'd most like to sing on stage?

If I could sing, The Look Of Love by ABC

7. The most embarrassing record you ever bought?

I have a lot of what people would consider dross in my collection - Kylie, Madonna, Shampoo, Spice Girls etc But I stand by those purchases.

For someone who hates Red Hot Chili Peppers I do seem to have a lot of their stuff.

Enter Shikari! Actually they should be embarrassed for making their album.

Financially, Yesterday by The Beatles. Otherwise anything by my favourite song writers - Nick Cave, Morrissey, Tom Waits, Bowie

Good thread! Although I can't think and answer them all right now...

2. The song that led to your first popstar crush?
This has never really happened.

3. The song that reminds you of your first true love?
Back to the Old House - The Smiths

I don't know what this means.

Everybody Wants to Rule the World - Tears For Fears

Ghostbusters - Ray Parker Jnr

1. The first record you bought?

A floppy 7" of Puss N Boots by Adam Ant that I sent away for with tokens plus cash from Rice Crispies.

2. The song that led to your first popstar crush?

Embarrasingly it's I Want Your Love - Transvision Vamp.

3. The song that reminds you of your first true love?

First true love is a bit strong but The Other Side - Aerosmith always reminds me of my first real girlfriend.

4. A song that's guaranteed to make you dance?

It more depends on my mood rather than the music, not that I'll dance to any old rubbish mind.
I guess I'd physically find it hard to not at least toe tap/hand clap/hip shake if I heard Dance Wit' Me - Rick James sexing it's way through the speakers.

5. Your favourite holiday track?

I don't think I have one. Which holiday? Summer?
I don't have one.

6. The song you'd most like to sing on stage?

Rock And Roll - Led Zeppelin

7. The most embarrassing record you ever bought?

I'm pretty sure I had a cassette single of Jive Bunny and the Mastermixers.

Good God.

8. The one song you wish you'd written?

That is such a difficult question.
So many for so many different reasons technically & emotively. But I'll stick my neck out & say Hurt - Nine Inch Nails. It's pretty much a masterpiece.

9. The best guitar riff ever

Hmmm I'd never go as far as to say what was the best ever but favourites of mine would be...

I Wanna' Be Your Dog - The Stooges
Voodoo Child - Jimi Hendrix
Johnny Be Goode - Chuck Berry

Make of that what you will.


10. Your favourite love song?

Into Your Arms - The Lemonheads

11. The track that reminds you of your best mates?

Sabotage - Beastie Boys

1. The first record you bought?
single: Turtle Power - Partners in Crime
Album: Sing The Blues - The Simpsons

2. The song that led to your first popstar crush?
I should be so lucky!

3. The song that reminds you of your first true love?
Yellow - coldplay

4. A song that's guaranteed to make you dance?
You never can tell - chuck berry

5. Your favourite holiday track?
Don't wanna miss a thing- Aerosmith, (not really my fave track, but is the one that most reminds me of a specific holiday)

6. The song you'd most like to sing on stage?
Life On Mars? - Bowie

7. The most embarrassing record you ever bought?
Can't really think of an album,... but I bought that bryan adams, robin hood single!

8. The one song you wish you'd written?
There She Goes - The La's

9. The best guitar riff ever
ziggy stardust

10. Your favourite love song?
Can't really think of one. (sometimes it's hard to tell of a song is actaully a love song and not just a track about heroin... for instance)... so for now, I'll say satelite of love - lou reed.

11. The track that reminds you of your best mates?
Do you remember the first time? - pulp

1. The first record you bought?

I'm really not sure which came first, but it was either the England World Cup Squad of '82 singing "This Time" or the theme from Fraggle Rock! (though it's been a long and rocky road, my taste in music has improved considerably since the early eighties!).

2. The song that led to your first popstar crush?

Not so much for the song, but it was probably "Happy Birthday"(?) the crush being C.P. Grogan (or possibly Nena, following 99 Red Balloons).

3. The song that reminds you of your first true love?

I'll let you know when it happens!

4. A song that's guaranteed to make you dance?

Dancing, and singing for that matter, aren't really my forte, but I've always liked "Reet Petite" by Jackie Wilson and "Come On Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners (and that's nothing to do with its usage in Spaced).

5. Your favourite holiday track?

I don't know that I have one, but the soundtrack to Sideways always makes me think of summer.

6. The song you'd most like to sing on stage?

I did it in school, and I can say that I have absolutely no desire to sing on stage again! If I did have to sing publically though, like for Karaoke or something similar, I would have to go for a song that went down well, but it would have to be Lewis singing Private Dancer good!

7. The most embarrassing record you ever bought?

"Hi Fidelity" – The Kid’s From Fame.

8. The one song you wish you'd written?

Anything that made the writer a big sack of cash!

9. The best guitar riff ever?

Mark Knoffler, Telegraph Road.

10. Your favourite love song?

No idea, not my bag at all!

11. The track that reminds you of your best mates?

I don't really associate any kind of music with my friends, as I've never really done anything musical with them. If I were talking about some people I went to Uni with I would have to say "Yes", because we spent most of the summer driving around Southsea listening to one of their albums. If I were talking about people on here, I think I'd have to say any of the music from Spaced - for obvious reasons!

1. The first record you bought?

It was definitely one of the 'Now..' compilations, but I'm not sure which one. If you're talking proper album it was either Madonna's 'Immaculate collection' or Michael Jackson's 'Bad'.

2. The song that led to your first popstar crush?

'When I Come Around' - Green Day. I had a short term crush on Billie-Joe Armstrong but only for the duration of this video. He later got porky and then started wearing eyeliner.

3. The song that reminds you of your first true love?

There are quite a few songs actually, if I had to pick one 'You're the first, the last, my everything' by Barry White.

4. A song that's guaranteed to make you dance?

Pretty much anything. I don't have to be asked twice!
Intergalactic - Beastie Boys
Anything disco/funkadelic.

5. Your favourite holiday track?

Listening to the Beach Boys always makes me feel sunny, does that count?
Mmmbop by Hanson also reminds me of my most hilarious holiday ever.

The song you'd most like to sing on stage?

Ol' Man River (only kidding)
I'd just like to be able to sing. Anything.

The most embarrassing record you ever bought?

'Lets get ready to rumble' by Ant and Dec aka PJ and Duncan.

The one song you wish you'd written?

Something that got banned like 'God Save the Queen' by the Sex Pistols.

The best guitar riff ever

This is hard since I love too many. All the ones mentioned so far pretty much kick ass. Off the top of my head...
'Back In Black' - AC/DC
'I Love Rock and Roll' - Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
'Come As You Are' - Nirvana (whether it was ripped off Killing Joke/The Damned or not, 'tis still excellent.)

Your favourite love song?

I guess I answered that in Qu. 3

The track that reminds you of your best mates?

Could be one of hundreds but I'm going for 'Where It's At' by Beck. Brings back some really fun memories.

1. The first record you bought?

Can't remember for sure now. I think it may have been Superunknown by Soundgarden. Or possibly Smash by The Offspring.

2. The song that led to your first popstar crush?

The music itself usually has nothing to do with it. Christina Scabbia from Lacuna Coil happens to be a decent singer and is very hot indeed, but those things aren't really related.

3. The song that reminds you of your first true love?

Nevermore - The Seven Tongues of God. She sent me that song to get me into Nevermore when I first met her.

4. A song that's guaranteed to make you dance?

No song can. Unless air drumming counts.

5. Your favourite holiday track?

Holidays... music... there's no connection whatsoever.

6. The song you'd most like to sing on stage?

If I had the ability, then Cthulhu Dawn by Cradle of Filth. Since I don't I'd probably go for something easier like Pearl Jam.

7. The most embarrassing record you ever bought?

Probably Limp Bizkit... Why did I ever like them?

8. The one song you wish you'd written?

Pushit - Tool

9. The best guitar riff ever

Hard to pick just one...
Lamb of God - Ashes of the Wake (1:50)
Pantera - This Love (after the second chorus)
Emperor - The Source of Icon E (1:30)

10. Your favourite love song?

My Dying Bride - A Doomed Lover

11. The track that reminds you of your best mates?

Er, nothing. My friends usually like stuff I never listen to.

Sadly, you're not alone, there. Although I still don't think the first album is that bad, before Fred Durst's head expanded to the size of a Volvo.



Yes!

They have their place. Well they did for about 2 & a bit albums.

Does it really take that much "ability" to sing this, or any other Cradle Of Filth track?




Yup! I got it too.

More evidence that Mel = awesomeness.
And any discussion of "best riffs ever" that doesn't involve at least one mention of Dimebag Darrell is just utterly wrong.



Very much so. It may not be conventional "singing" as such and you may not like the way it sounds, but Dani Filth is an incredible vocalist with a huge range.

1.The first record you bought?

12” Huey Lewis & the News – Sports

2. The song that led to your first popstar crush?

2. The song that led to your first popstar crush?

Too Many Broken Hearts by Jason Donovan

Pretty much anything, I even do the 'walk to the dancefloor'

5. Your favourite holiday track?

I don't really have one

6. The song you'd most like to sing on stage?

If I could sing, River Deep Mountain High

Iron Man, I love playing it on Guitar Hero

10. Your favourite love song?

11. The track that reminds you of your best mates?

Livin' on a Prayer by Bon Jovi, although I'm a bit tired of hearing it (our local radio station loves it), it reminds me of us singing at the top of our voices in the pub on a Sunday night.

1. The first record you bought?

DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince - Girls Ain't Nothin' But Trouble Although the record was slightly different.

2. The song that led to your first popstar crush?

I don't really remember having a crush on a pop star till this The Sugarcubes - Hit

Falco3

8. The one song you wish you'd written?

Fuzz Townshend - Smash It

Either this, this or this, is this a riff?

10. Your favourite love song?

Mazzy Star - Fade Into You

11. The track that reminds you of your best mates?

The Macc Lads - Beer and Sex and Chips and Gravy (NSFW) Sorry.

none

If I could do the scream or whatever he does, Down with the Sickness by Disturbed

Audioslave - Be Yourself (2:39 mark) It just sounds cool to me.

11. The track that reminds you of your best mate?

Knives - Fuel (for one friend)

Primal Concrete Sledge - Pantera (for another friend)

Very true.
I'm still thinking of ones I should have put. (Pantera or otherwise.) There's too many.



You're right, but it doesn't stop him being an annoying little gimp.

I admire the strength of the vocal chords, but to me his vocal style sounds no different (except in pitch) to the likes of Extreme Noise Terror, Napalm Death, and numerous lower division Kerrang bands.

Cradle Of Filth (and System Of A Down) do have the capacity to make me laugh out loud. This is not a criticism of other people's tastes - I just personally don't get "it", and find them hilarious, in equal measures.

I do agree with you on that one Sost, largely because they wrote what sits comfortably in my 'top 5 worst songs ever written' list:

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank

Aren't SoaD just the hardcore Darkness, though? I don't know if this would make them less shit or double shit.

It makes SOAD double shit. I much prefer tongue in cheek, camp, fun metal as opposed to seriouser than thou, worthy, right on, dull metal.

Plus The Darkness piss on SOAD live.

System of a Down are a bit of a comedy band anyway though, and intentionally. Cradle of Filth also are deliberately over the top and don't take themselves too seriously. A few years ago I would have agreed with you Sostie, but it grew on me when I actually gave them a chance and it's just basically a style that either you enjoy or you don't.

I don't really see it being any more ridiculous a style than something like hip hop.

Personally I like Syndrome of a Downs.
I find them equally talented & hilarious. Just because they take themselves seriously doesn't mean you have to. I mean not half as many people would like Morrissey or Suede if they had taken them as seriously as they had taken themelves.



Hip Hop is ridiculous?
Well then so is singing quite frankly.


eta: spelling, again.

Exactly, it's all just different tastes. None are more "right" or "wrong" than another, yet lots of people seem to take great offence and get all wound up if they hear something that's not their preferred style.

Good. I was hoping that was what you meant.

Well it could be worse. They could take themselves as seriously as Rage Against The Machine. One of the dullest live acts I have ever seen. More than once.

Thoroughly disappointing live on more than one occasion. Except the first tour they did over here around '94.

That gig was explosive.

Now if only we could export that ethos to religion then the world wouldn't be quite so fucked up as it is!

Burn him!

I saw them at T in the Park in 94 and thought they were alright. I think that had something to do with ten thousand Glaswegians though. Cypress Hill were on before them, and did a couple of tracks with them, they were a bit rubbish.

That's what I thought, too. I've always quite enjoyed their off-the-wall metal stylings. Although they have got a lot more 'commercial' over the years, (as many bands do) I always appreciated the way they have a sense of humour in their stuff, although they base it on some quite serious issues. (Unlike RATM, as Sostie rightly said.)

nice thread!

1. The first record you bought?
Def Leppard - Hysteria

2. The song that led to your first popstar crush?

Joni Mitchell - Court & Spark

11. The track that reminds you of your best mates?
Im not 14 any more so my brain doesn't understand this question.






^ pretty sure that's a sample of the riff to Slayer - Angel Of Death?

That it is.

1. The first record you bought?

The first record I bought, with my own money, and didn't receive as a gift or something? Ace of Base's "The Sign." Until that point, most of the music I listened to I either borrowed from my folks or taped off the radio.

2. The song that led to your first popstar crush?

Not really applicable, as I'm not particularly prone to popstar crushes.

3. The song that reminds you of your first true love?

Toto - Africa. It's a great sing-along tune, and sing we did...

4. A song that's guaranteed to make you dance?

I'm an overly-serious, white, suburban male with nerdish tendencies, so dancing's not really my scene, but I've always dug The Bee Gees' Stayin' Alive.

5. Your favourite holiday track?

Never took many holidays, but when I was a young'un and my family would pile into the ol' GMC Suburban for our cross-country trek to see the relatives, Willie Nelson's On the Road Again was our anthem. So I'll choose that one for nostalgia's sake.

6. The song you'd most like to sing on stage?

Either The Who's Baba O'Riley or Bon Jovi's Livin' on a Prayer.

7. The most embarrassing record you ever bought?

The single for Haddaway - What Is Love.

9. The best guitar riff ever

Either The Kinks' You Really Got Me, Derek and the Dominoes' Layla, or Bo Diddley's Who Do You Love.

10. Your favourite love song?

I don't know if it qualifies as a love song, per se, but I really like Spinal Tap - Sex Farm. Or Janis Ian's At Seventeen. Both of which are sort of anti-love songs, or at least anti-love-song songs...

11. The track that reminds you of your best mates?

Barrett's Privateers.

The first record you bought?

I'm gonna go with cd here, as I can't remember much of my cassette collection. So that makes it 'History' by Michael Jackson.

Hey, the first cd's pretty good.

The song that led to your first popstar crush?

Embarrassingly, Mmmbop. Yes, I was one of those. At least it was a Taylor crush, and not as Isaac crush (what the hell was up with those girls?)

The song that reminds you of your first true love?

'Hear You Me' by Jimmy Eat World. Or anything by Alanis.

A song that's guaranteed to make you dance?

Probably something that's guaranteed to be played at the pub near the end of the night. 'Groove is in the Heart,' or something.

Your favourite holiday track?

Justin Timberlake's 'Like I Love You' reminds me of Schoolies week. Lots of others that bring to mind a specific holiday.

The song you'd most like to sing on stage?

'Don't Go Breakin' My Heart' by Elton and Kiki D - because I rock it on SingStar and it would be hilarious whilst drunk.

The most embarrassing record you ever bought?

All of the Backstreet Boys albums (except the newest one), all of Hanson's albums up to that indie one they released and, not bought, but borrowed, Michael Bolton's 'Greatest Hits' from my mum. I was ten!

The one song you wish you'd written?

Happy Birthday. Has someone already said that?

The best guitar riff ever

I don't focus much on the gee-tars, so I'm woefully under qualified to comment.

Your favourite love song?

I quite like Ben Harper's 'Live from Mars' version of 'Beloved One'. Death Cab for Cutie's 'I Will Follow You Into the Dark' is nice too.

The track that reminds you of your best mates?

'Romeo & Juliet' by Dire Straits. Because we like to dance to it in a silly fashion.

Berserk Forces, if only because I've managed to phonetically learn the Japanese lyrics and would love to belt them out to a crowd.

1. The first record you bought?

As contrived as it sounds it was actually Nevermind.

2. The song that led to your first popstar crush?

The Right Stuff - New Kids on the Block

3. The song that reminds you of your first true love?

Difficult. I think it would have to be Eternal Life by Jeff Buckley.

4. A song that's guaranteed to make you dance?
Party Hard- Andrew WK. Every time.

5. Your favourite holiday track?

I haven't got one. Haven't been on holiday properly at all really. Which has just freaked me out a little.

6. The song you'd most like to sing on stage?

As gay as this sounds, one of my own. Still aspiring to the rock'n'roll dream.
But if I had to pick one it'd be Sweet Child of Mine by Guns'n'Roses. It's a fun song to sing.

7. The most embarrassing record you ever bought?

N'Sync. It seemed like a good idea at the time....

8. The one song you wish you'd written?

Basically anything by Nine Inch Nails. Trent Reznor is a genius. And Rua stole my first thought so I'll go with Starfuckers Inc.

9. The best guitar riff ever

There's too many! At the moment I think it would be Slither by Velvet Revolver. It's the most fun for me to play.

Also Kickstart My Heart by Motley Crue.



10. Your favourite love song?

Open Arms by Wilt.

11. The track that reminds you of your best mates?

I've different ones for each of them.

Work it Out - Beyonce
Animal - Def Leppard
Paint It Black - Rolling Stones

That's a great song to play on guitar hero. Although outside of the game I'd never want to listen to it for musical pleasure.
