Re: Foreign Music

Kiyoharu (Solo project from someone in SADS)
Kuroyume (Solo project from someone in SADS)
NICOTINE (JPunk [Simple Plan-like])

Miwa Yoshida (Not to sure on her either...)
Violet UK (Former XJapan drummer Yoshiki's current band)

-----------------------------------------------------------
I'll more than likely add more to my list...

Re: Foreign Music
 

As a Disney fan, especially Epcot, I find I listen to the music before Illuminations a lot. Great stuff.

Re: Foreign Music
 

My apologizes for bringing back this thread, but I will add more to my list of JMusic.

AYA - Never listened to them much, but hey...

Malice Mizer - Now dis-banded but they mixed like, 3 types of music into one. I'd recommend this band, along side XJapan and Dir En Grey.

DongBangShinGi (more commonly known as DBSG) - JPop...they look A LOT like theTRAX. Pretty good...can't say to much because I've only listened to "Tri-Angle".

BoA - JPop also. Again, can't say much because I only heard her in the "Tri-Angle" song. She's got a really nice voice though, better than Ayumi Hamasaki's (because BoA's doesn't crack in the high pitches like Ayumi's).

** SIDE NOTE: If you want to know what BoA, DBSG and TRAX look like, try to watch "Tri-Angle"...it can be found on ilikepop.com [site is in Japanese, but actually easy to manuever (sp?) through] **

Re: Foreign Music
 

A friend from Bosnia introduced me to Najlepsi Dueti...Bosnian Pop maybe...it is pretty good (even if I can't understand it)

Re: Foreign Music
 

I don't listen to too much foreign music, but a friend of mine got me hooked on MC Solaar. He's a French rapper. His music is pretty cool and is much more intellectual than the usual rap in the US.

Re: Foreign Music

im not talking about in flames, Children of Bodom or Dimmu borgir eighther

WHO HERE LIKES BLACK METAL!?

bathory
satyricon
Impaled Nazarene
Immortal
skyfire
ULVER
Emperor

a really great thing that they have incommon is that all the lyrics are really morally uplifiting

Re: Foreign Music
 

Another JMusic band is Spread Beaver [consists of hide [vocalist] and Pata [guitarist]...who are both from XJapan].

Re: Foreign Music
 

Does picking up noises from space count as a foreign band? space is pretty foreign, especially in america.

Re: Foreign Music
 

H.I.M is pretty good, but my all time favorite band is Oasis

HIM
Rammstein
The Rasmus
Lacuna Coil

...and I like what I've heard from Moonspell

A friend of mine is supposed to burn me music from Malice Mizer, L'arc en ciel and Psycho Le Cemu among other bands.

Re: Foreign Music
 

I'm not a fan of true original Black metal like Mayhem or Gorgoroth. But I like satyricon and Naglfar. But some awesome folk stuff. Try Finntroll and Korpiklanni! They're awesome!
