other than gun fire, foot steps, sprint buttons, charger zoingssss, and people's garbeled voices over cyber space.

music?

right now i am listening to
Paul Nice's "breaks for days" it's a collection of the breaks of about 120 to 2.20 parts of old soul songs. these drum breaks were most likely used in pop/hip hop songs of today. it may just be my favorite album of all time.

I'm pretty much a 100% Rush man. But if I stray, it's for the good rock. Led Zepplin era, not the new crap.

Anything off of Grace Under Pressure, or even their first Album

The track of their second album (Caress of Steel) called "I think I'm going bald" is my theme song

cyber_clash

2008-02-15 20:48:16

I can't stop listening to that song holy put in the frag vid. Simple Plan - Me against the world (first track). Normally listen to rock/hard rock/metal/classic rock etc...

CellarDweller

2008-02-15 21:11:05

When I'm pubbing a full server I do tend to listen to music while playing. Mostly Zepplin, sometimes Bush or Metallica or GnR or AC/DC... etc.

Otherwise, I'm a bit ecclectic. Variety rules the day. Classic and Hard Rock, a little older Country, some R&B and even Blue Grass.

I can go from Jethro Tull to Motley Crue to Johnny Cash to Enigma to Elvis...

I'm all over the place I guess.

Tupac, Ying Yang Twins, Lil Jon, MY ESP FAV MIKE JONES!, Eminem, Soulja Boy..

I dig a nice mix of rock, rap, and techno. Linkin park, breaking benji, foo fighters, lifehouse, papa roach, three days grace, fort minor, etc. It's good to settle down with some classical or old blues from time to time though.

Been a while since I listened to music in-game now. Can make you get into a trance-like state on pubs if it's loud and energetic enough. Guess I'm more into team play now, and music doesn't go that well with the vent...

I never listen to music ingame.

I listen to just a bout a little of everything. Techno (of many kinds), metal, classic rock, grunge (bush/nirvana), some hip hop, blues, jazz, blue grass, classical, and world music (mostly african, mid-eastern, and asian) Favorite bands, Shpongle, Between the Buried and Me, John Coltrane. I get most of my music using uTorrent and http://www.di.fm which has a large of techno in all its various forms. Use the program Station Ripper to copy internet radio stream directly to your comp, very handy.

I usually only listen to metal and techno though when I listen to any music in game which is only in pubs if ever. gotta have a fast tempo to boost up your frags/minute

i like, hypotize, big papa, spit your game, hustlers story, %#$@ you tonight, kick in the door. and some others from him. dont listen to too much rap as i've said so my taste may be a lot different then people who listen to it regularly.

Depends how old you are I guess. I was in college when Dookie came out and it sounded relevant back then. I haven't really listened to them since. There are certainly worse bands you could list IMO.

Hootie and the Blowfish comes quickly to mind for some reason...

Them's fighting words :evil: :evil: :evil:

I lived in Columbia, SC for a long time and got to like these guys. Mainly because I went to all of the "Monday after the Masters" golf tourneys until they moved it to the beach. The music might not be the best, but the guys are good people.

My favorite experience at the Monday after the Masters was when a couple of drunk rednecks kept yelling "Hit it TIGER!!!!!!" when Darius was up to hit.

If you play Portnoy's stuff, you must be good!
If you like Portnoy, check out Opeth.
I have played Guitar for 30 years but have always had an inner drummer in me screaming to get out. I play well but haven't in years.
lately, i have been daydreaming of buying a kit and woodshedding!
It is that strong.
Here are my favorite drummers:
Bill Bruford
Terry Bozzio
Vinny Coluita
Rod Morgenstein
Gary Mallabar (Steve Miller)
Max Roach

@ [GoTg] old time no.7

nice find on Paul Nice - Breaks For Days, real similar to this track I found recently that I can't get outta my head The Go! Team - Ladyflash. I like that turntableism shit too, Invisbl Skratch Piklz and such. I just picked up this album Turntables on the Hudson mixed by Nickodemus and Mariano, check it out, you'll like it!

On the side I like Drum n Base: Kruder and Dorfmiester, London Electricity etc. Overall I like a mixed bag, pretty eclectic I'd say. Righ now though I'm listening to some Indie stuff: Kevin Drew, Cold War Kids, Midlake, Broken Social Scene, Metric...
