Their music is much more complex than I would have imagined from a so called heavy metal band. Also a little Jazz/rock fusion flair. You may have an Opeth convert. The second song was strong and passionate. The female voice kind of reminds me of Pat Benatar which I have seen live and an early female rocker I have always liked a lot.  By the way Mr. Barrett I figured you did know of Sade, but not many young guys or gals are into music as passionate and with gusto as you seem to be. All those varied music genre's will be a positive influence on your personal style as a musician. The best musicians that I know of have those varied musical influences. Eric Clapton one of my favorite guitarists if not my favorite all time comes to mind. I got off track right with you. Besides Sade no one elses music comes to mind at the moment. The best I can do to get back on track with this thread. Sorry gang!  |
Eric Clapton was a good influence on me back then. And yes, me and, other members of this forum, have quite an expansive musical taste.
Sorry for the brief lesson but I felt you might be interested:
Thrash Metal: early form of metal in the 1980s.
Classic Metal: founders, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest
Death Metal: pioneered by the band Death, this is your stereotyped metal genre.
Black Metal: furious, sinister, grim, and evil. Gained notoriety in Norway.
Gothenburg Style: Swedish form of death metal, gave birth to Melodic Death.
Melodic Death: A more melodic twist to death metal
Progressive Metal: Metal with many influences, complexities, and twists.
Viking Metal: Nuff said
Folk Metal: metal mixed with folk instruments, and folk styles. Its actually one of my favorite genres, quite good to dance to, very popular in Finland.
Tanz-Metall: German Dance Metal.
Too many to list, but personally you might like the more technical edge of metal, you've probably stereotyped it as Cannibal Corpse (which I actually enjoy, but that was after living around metal for a while, you don't exactly convert someone to like metal by showing them Cannibal Corpse
)
Anyways, REALLY back on topic.

Okay i'm not being serious, but I would like to see Alizée try folk rock/metal.
And I knew you might enjoy those two Pepe, I know my way around the golden jewels of each genre (except rap, that's uncharted territory), but if you look at Mikael Åkerfeldt of Opeth's MySpace, well you could see he lists about 800 influences, from country to folk, to pop to jazz, to rock and metal.
