Music = Life

Ok, this is my music page. Anybody who really knows me knows how EXTREAMLY passionate about music I am. So I've made this page to show some of that. My music tastes are VERY wide, really just about everything from AC/DC to ZZ Top Rock, Metal, Screamo, Noise, Slow Rock, Country, Blues, Grunge, Garage... just everything. But my top favorite bands are, in order, Nirvana, KoRn, The White Stripes, Stutterfly and Calm

Anybody who KNOWS me Knows that I LOVE Nirvana. Kurt Cobain is my number one Idol, not for the drugs or killing himself or any of that sorta stuff. I think he was the single most talented person in history, maybe not the smartest, but most talented. Music has gone in stages kinda, First was Elvis, then The Beatles and then there was Nirvana. All those bands changed music, and they all changed it for the better. Nirvana changed the way music was, and there hasnt been a band since that even compares to Nirvana. When Kurt Cobain died thats when everything about good music started to die. Thats when all this hip hop and rap bullshit started. Some people might say that groups (keyword being GROUPS, bands write their own music and play instruments) like maybe the Spice Girls, backstreet boys, Britney Spears, or Justin Timberlake made a big impact but they didnt. Its taken all of those groups to make that type of music popular. With those three, Elvis, The Beatles and Nirvana they were ALL number one, nobody could touch them. Its taken tons of bands like the Spice girls and backstreet boys to make this hip hop and rap grabage to become popular, because that kind of music is simply NOT strong enough to make a change on their own. Music like that cannot last, its all always flare ups, like the Spice Girls how many people listen to them anymore? or the Backstreet Boys? or any of that?? Once a group like this is gone, they're OVER. Bands like Nirvana or Pearl Jam or Guns N Roses MILLIONS of people are still listening to them and they're still among the top bands requested at radio stations and on TV music stations because their music doesnt get old as easily and is simply better. Thank GOD good music is starting to come back, with bands like KoRn, Disturbed (my two other idols Jonathan Davis and David Dariman) The White Stripes, Audioslave, Linkin Park and Staind. HOPEFULLY there will be one band soon that'll rise up and take over again and make music what it used to be. . . Real.

Stutterfly is my number one favorite band right now! I've got alll their songs including the secret song from their album Hollow. My favorite song by them would probably have to be Sic Pig or Out of the mud. They're just an indie band from Kelowna BC, i've seen them live once so far. The link below is for their site on MP3.com download their stuff!!!!!!! If theres more you want i've got it all!

KoRn is one of my all time favorite bands. I first really got in to them when i heard Falling Away From Me on the radio. After that i just listened to everything by them. Now I own all of their CD's and know tons about them. Jonathan Davis is another of my idols, his lyrics are so powerful and honest. He writes how he feels and just about himself, and thats real and thats what I like and respect about musicians. Like I said music thats Real. I dont have an album that is my favorite by KoRn but my favorite song would probably have to be maybe Blind, Thoughtless, or My Gift To You. But another reason i really really like KoRn is because i relate to their music so much, thats why ALOT of people like them. So many people wonder how i like this music because to them its just screaming and pointless, but i bet not ONCE do those people acctually listen to the lyrics, they hear someone scream and thats it they dont like it. I've got all KoRns songs includeing some stuff from Sex Art, Jonathan Davis's band before he was in KoRn.

Disturbed is a very new band but they're amazing! David Draiman is another idol of mine for alot of the same reason Jonathan Davis and Kurt Cobain are, they all write their own music and put their feelings into it. When guys like them sing, you can see they are feeling every word they're singing, because they acctually wrote it (unlike 90% of hip hop and rap stars) Another thing i really like about David Draiman is his voice! I'm a HUGE music fan so i've heard everything, but i've never ever heard anybody make the sounds he can with his voice. Mostly known for his "AOWW WAH AH AH AH" at the beginning of "Down With The sickness". After only one album they've already gained a HUGE fan base, been on the Ozzfest tour twice, headlined their own tour and now are ready to release they're second album. Bands like these guys are just pure talent, they dont need sound mixers in the studio, or someone else writing they're songs for them. They're lyrics are theirs, they're sound is theirs, and their muisc is Real.
