I don't like grunge (I can bear only a little Soundgarden, but I totally hate Nirvana), and I fine modern alt rock and mainstream rock like Nickelback and Seether to be extremely dull, samey and boring.
I actually have a few dreams: a power metal group, a melodeath one or one to play nowadays obscure hair metal. But I'm quite happy with what I play now. I love AC/DC, GnR and Kiss. I find modern rock bands to be the real "tryhards", 'cause they try to rock as hard as the old bands but always fail. Last edited by Mad_Bad!!; 02-26-2008 at 07:00 AM.

Too many
Hmm...too many hobbies. At 32 I'm still a kid at heart.
Wargaming and wargame model making, making model scenery. I still play video games, PS2, PS3, PC. Still buy graphic novels. Only dirty stuff though. I collect all kinds of things. Even porn mags. Target shooting. Camping. Masturbation. Many more.

For modern rock and of those currently putting out, I look to Oasis (Classic Beatles-esque stuff) and MUSE (Great Prog Rock). For the real heavyweights, Elvis (and all the other 50's stars), The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, Led Zep, Pink Floyd, Queen, Nirvana. People like GnR are very, very good, but not at that top level. IMO, anyway. For what it's worth, I listened to "November Rain" a bunch of times the other week. Must also give a shout-out to more esoteric branches like shoegaze. Sofia Coppola (via "Lost In Translation" and "Marie-Antoinette") has put me onto some pretty cool stuff, like My Bloody Valentine and New Order. Thanks to Russell Brand, I also really dig The Smiths. Thanks to an Oasis-mad mate, I have a lot of love for The Stone Roses, too. Shit! There is so much stuff out there! One confession: I don't really "get" heavier forms of music, but there are songs by Metallica and Nine Inch Nails that I find incredible. Of course, I'm only name-dropping people virtually everyone has heard of. I can't really define my taste in music, except to say that I'm obsessed with Elvis. And I do mean OBSESSED. He is definitely one of my hobbies. I collect and talk about him -- and LISTEN! -- all the time. For other world class voices, I look to Sinatra, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Michael Jackson, Tim and Jeff Buckley and Amy Winehouse. Man, Amy has copped so much bad press, but one spin of "Back To Black" and I'm gone. In fact, I really love a LOT of soul / RnB / motown. Today, I've been listening mainly to Elvis (non-rock stuff), Bobby Darin and Neil Diamond. Rock doesn't feature highly in my world. I also like film soundtracks -- in fact, I've been listening to the "End Credits" music for "Kill Bill, Volume 1" a LOT this week. Just can't get enough. The words "Tarantino" and "poor music" should NEVER go together. Apart from that sentence. If it happens again, the universe will implode. Then there's electronic stuff like Brian Eno, Daft Punk and Vangelis. I seem to like bits 'n' bobs from all over. Oops, this isn't the music thread, is it?  :DCan I also just mention Elton John, The Bee Gees, ABBA (pop meisters supreme), Wham! and, oh shit ...... I'm a pop fiend, aren't I? Quote:
The problem with me is that I have an obsessive mind. I get fixated on very specific things and can't shake them loose. They seduce me, noose me and won't let me go. This is becoming a real problem for me. Every time I go looking at porn (which is basically every day), I get totally crazed and feel like I have to experience it all. No matter how many shemale picture or movie pages I look at, it doesn't seem like enough. I have this desire to try and sample it all, lest it all fall from existence. So you can imagine my sense of being totally overwhelmed when I'm looking at all these thumbnails and knowing I can't possibly click them all. In fact, I don't want to click them ALL, but I want to click so many, and seek out others, that there's this restless part of my brain that won't simmer down. It keeps saying, "More! More! More!". LOL. I guess this is what it's like to have a drug addiction. Anyway, my other hobbies include: Films (Watching And Commenting Upon) Books Walking (For Miles) Computers (Less Of A Hobby These Days)

Hobies...
I play video games (MMOs) mostly as well as table top RPGs (Like Dungeons&Dragons). I read/collect comic books. I live sci-fi/fantasy books and films. I plan my survival in the even of a zombie apocalypse when I'm not doing anything else... Gawd could I be a bigger nerd?

I also play MMOs... well, just one. City of Heroes, and table top RPGs. I read Marvel superhero comics, and my Zombie plan needs a massive revision, since I've just moved to a new city. I also practice Martial Arts, specifically Tae Kwon Do. I've got my first degree black belt, 'cause I'm bad-ass like that.

Sarah.. drat we were talking about COH a bit back... then I got sucked into WAR (aewsome game btw)... I'm not so into PK, but I kinda like kicking Dwarf azz in this game .. punks!
Jen - I think 3rd ed made D&D better than 2nd lots more variations IMO.. ya may just wanna give it a little try. I adore Wonder Woman!! But my heart always goes to Black Canary - any gal who can pull off fighting crime in fishnets gets my vote! Funny thing - almost evey TG I know (boy and girl) plays or used to regularly play RPGs - AND reads/read comics. I wonder if the same is true of the guys and gals who like us. LuvAmy - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeons_%26_Dragons this is an explanation of Dungeons & Dragons. It's actually better than I could write, but it s a little long.

Being as this post of yours is over 2 years old, do you still read comic books? If so, I have a couple of recommendations of large story arcs/events. 1. Blackest Night. If you are a fan at all of Green Lantern/the Green Lantern Corps this is one of the best "events" happening. This is a great one even if you aren't a fan of GL since the repercussions shoot off into almost every main title in the DC universe. Basically, Blackest Night involves the Black Lantern Corp and to get into that particular Corps? You have to be dead. Think of any BIG names(not necessarily superheroes) that have died in the DC universe and you will see them in all their undead glory! 2. Dark Reign. The Skrulls(hopefully you know who they are  ) failed in their Secret Invasion and Norman Osborne(the Green Goblin) shot the gun that killed the Skrull Queen. Due to this he was given almost complete control of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Avengers Tower. Dark Reign is the term for how the Marvel universe is under the bootheel of an insane man who has an immense amount of power given to hi.3. The Siege. Dark Reign gives way to this, and this is an event that is seven years in the making. Cool! Bionca, you mentioned that you enjoy zombies. I would highly recommend checking out The Walking Dead. You could pick them up in trade paperback format, as it is almost impossible to find all the back issues(and they would be uber-expensive).  Now, as far as hobbies that I enjoy: 1. Dungeons & Dragons(I've played D&D, AD&D, AD&D 2nd edition, 3rd ed, and 3.5. I have not played in a few years, so I have not played 4th edition) 2. Comics. I love to read comic books(and graphic novels) and I have a pretty good collection. 3. Tennis. I belong to the Tennis Club and I play during the Summer. 4. Reading. I love reading books. I particularly enjoy reading books of the Fantasy genre(Wheel of Time, the Dungeons & Dragons novels, The various Book of Swords by Fred Saberhagen, Harry Potter, Lord Of The Rings, and many more) and Horror genre(Stephen King and Dean Koontz are two of my favourites). I own hundreds of books. 5. Puzzles. I enjoy working on jigsaw puzzles, especially on a cold Winter day(or night). 6. Chess. I have not played in a few years, but I enjoy playing chess. 7. I enjoy playing boardgames and CCG(collectable card games such as Magic: The Gathering and Munchkin). I enjoy playing Talisman(sort of like D&D but as a boardgame), Munchkin, Settlers, and Carcassonne. 8. Computer games. I enjoy playing RPG, Adventure, Turn-Based Strategy, and Real-Time Strategy games the most. I have a large collection of games. Did I beat you out via the Nerdness factor?

If you want to follow up on more of Slash's work, he is now in a band called Velvet Revolver. They aren't half bad, but still aren't as good as the modern-day, bass-heavy singers, grinding music melody bands of today

I was talking about modern rock bands, and you bring out modern bands which aren't rock but metal/metalcore/hardcore... what do they have to do with what we were talking about? I'm not an idiot, I know that Lamb of God play heavier music than both Seether and Kiss, but that's not the point. "To rock harder" and "to play a heavier genre" are different things. So you aren't convincing me of anything.
I already know (and like) like Velvet Revolver. I find some of GnR songs to be very meaningful (have you ever listened to Civil War? Estranged? And I could go on...). Kiss and AC/DC don't have very meaningful lyrics, I can agrre on that, but they surely are funny!!! And very catchy, also. By the way, I don't see what's wrong with lyrics about party or sex... what's your problem, you don't like having fun? Also, they influenced literally TONS of bands. And don't tell me Ace Frehley and Angus Young aren't good guitar players... By the way, if you go in the topic abuot music tastes, you can get a better idea of what I like. I'm statring to think that you think I only like "old" bands...
