Gothic Music

[Wolfwood]

am i the only one who listens to gothic music here?

although i like all types of music, gothic is my favorite at the moment. mostly the songs by lacuna coil:D

[Annik]

It depends on what you consider "Gothic Music."

[Wolfwood]

It depends on what you consider "Gothic Music."
well, gothic music is mostly songs that talk about death and stuff.

take this for example from lacuna coil's song- Cold

With a smile I watch you go
you'll never know I didn't cry
with a smile I saw you die
you'll never know I didn't cry

:yeahthat:

[Annik]

:] WELL then. I suppose I do, after remembering the lyrics to one of my favorite songs.

"Posed To Death"

"I feel a warm resistance
Beneath the outer layer.
What once moved living organs
Leaks through a thin vaneer.
Blue Blooded royal body,
Elegantly posed to death.
Not speaking, Prince, now are you?
Not breathing one more breath.

Just now a curtain's folding
It falls and lies to rest.
So selfish royal brother,
You've loved your wife to death.
Your ways could not continue.
You'd rule with hateful hands.
I called you toward the staircase.
I caused your violent end. "

It may not be as emo-tized as the lyrics you posted, and they amuse the heck out of me, but, still. They are about shoving someone down the stairs and killing them.

[lonely_chibi]

I think I do....does Brand new's cd count? O___o

[Wolfwood]

dont know, havent heared it

[lonely_chibi]

:] Good, though.

[Wolfwood]

[lonely_chibi]

Emo-ish?? O_o emotional? well yea I guess maybe....

[Annik]

Gah! No! Kazaa is the Devil!

[Annik]

I beg your pardon. I am not hyper.

High strung, maybe.

[lonely_chibi]

I beg your pardon. I am not hyper.

High strung, maybe.lol I don't see the difference.

[Queen-of-Mars]

Kazaa sucks. WinMx rocks.

Lacuna Coil has its moments.

[Annik]

lol I don't see the difference.
-_- Well, I do.

[Wolfwood]

ok Calintz, lets keep on topic so this dosent get closed.

[Annik]

Neverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-

Yeah. Okay.

The Faint.

[MistressPookyChan]

How about Diva Distruction? They are pretty good.

[Metaldork]

Cannibal Corpse! They Figgin Rule!

[niKopol]

I also listen to every type of music but it depends on what kind of mood im in

[Princess Mononoke]

i hate cannibal corpse and and.. yeah that other band ...

[Metaldork]

How Can You Hate Cannibal Corpse And Iron Maiden?

[Daenerys]

Gothic music to me, is Emo, but with a stronger back beat to it.

I like the band HIM a lot. Lacuna Coils kinda okay, I've only really liked one song out of the four I've heard. (Heaven's a lie)

Uhmmmm...

Yep.

OH! And yes, Winmx PWNS.

[Metaldork]

Yeah HIM is cool but i like cky.

[Wolfwood]

hmmm... havent heared HIM... i'll go download it useing some P2P network program. *not going to start a debate about witch one that should be used*


still, my favorite lacuna coil song is Cold... and for the hell of it i'll post up the lyrics

Skin so cold
I knew you'd go away
and now I put you down to lay
nothing to feel for you
this was our last dance

Closer and closer, it's time to surrender
to the desire that you cannot mention
don't try to breathe
don't try to run away

But I'm reaching for the sky (going to fly)
won't you please stay

With a smile I watch you go
you'll never know I didn't cry
with a smile I saw you die
you'll never know I didn't cry

No more fear
they said you were so weak
and now I put you down to lay
nothing to feel for you
this was our last dance

[Ami~chan]

HIM is alright.
Iron Maiden is cool too.
Im sooo tired right now... Sorry for the short post....

[TheWickedOne]

all i own is goth music.. and showtunes XD ya that hard to belive goth person like showtunes.. but i love goth!! name it i most likey have it

[Wolfwood]

the main reason i like gothic music is because it will talk/sing about stuff in life that most people try and avoid. but those things are a part of life and people cant except that, so gothic music isn't as popular as those other styles where they talk about whatever people want to hear.

so TheWickedOne, since you own a lot of gothic music can you recomend somthing that will make my parents think im part of some kind of cult? (i like to make them worry, its one of the few things that keeps entertained)

[botan79]

i love lacuna coil they are so awsome. i also like fear factory, disturbed, static-x to just name a few.:D

[Milly]

Goth music is cool. I like listening to the depressing songs. Makes me happy inside, but sad outside.

[Wolfwood]

looking sad and feeling happy is better then looking happy and feeling sad.

[Myrra]

It works just fine for me...although for the past 2 days...I have actually been happy both inside and out.

And I don't listen to much Goth these days...I'd rather listen to depressing love songs.

[Genghis Beatrix]

AFI's "Sacrifice Theory" is pretty gothic. Here's the lyrics...

"Hear one thousand screams. Hear one thousand voices. A solitary echo. Feel one thousand pains, but one is receiving a bloody invitation. Do you want to feel the warmth? To taste the life flow? Feel one thousand lost sinking into soft skin. Ingest rejuvenation. One to consume, one to renew. Demanded invitation. I offer grace, I offer blood. I offer everything till my heart is crystal clear. Do you want to feel the warmth? To taste the life? I want to taste the life to taste the life flow. "

[Rei86]

no gothic for me... its to depressing... i love life and life loves me right bak... gothic is all about death and killing and destruction and ihate that sort of thing... i do like rock, especially old rock like queen or linkin park... i heard a gothic sond the other day that had me cofused coz it wasnt about death or killing... it was about political crap and i dont think it was very populr for that reason... obvously it must be about death... im feeling sad ust taking about it... :( *sigh* i need to be happy to live or life is just not worth living... is that why goths are suicidle? i think that band my friend listens to is gothic, ramthingy?

[Wolfwood]

you know not all goths are suicidel.

V *Note my sig*

[Yunfei]

Gothic music it very different:<_<:

[Blaze auku]

[Genghis Beatrix]

A lot of AFI's songs are depressing. I just put in Sacrifice Theory 'cuz it sounded pretty gothic to me. Download it and listen to it sometime.

[stankler]

When I listen to gothic music (which doesn't happen very often), I have a tendency to burst in laughters (no offense). Especially when hearing things Nightwish's "End of All Hope" or "Forever Yours". But the singer has a wonderful voice.

[Genghis Beatrix]

Oooh! Avenged Sevenfold! I just remembered them.

[Annik]

Tapping the Vein.

[Gil]

Marilyn Manson rocks, as he is quite possibly the innovator of all goth music.

[Wolfwood]

i think gothic music has been around long before Marilyn Manson, but he did make it well known all over, opening the way for other gothic bands helping them to be noticed.

[Yunfei]

Gothic music scares me *please dont use this against me*

[Wolfwood]

if it scares you, it might be a good idea to run before i start posting lyrics. Mhuhahahahahaha

[jinto]

omg OMG ya are like fighting over nothin the coolist goth band is ''type o negative'':slurp::curses: :censored:

[Mecha-Griever]

In Britain we don't really have gothic music.. Well, the bands that you guys call gothic, we just call Rock or Alternative usually.. Even though I come from the most Gothic country in the world.. Heh... Go figure...

I'de say alot of the bands mentioned here are more emo than Gothic..

M~G

[Eris]

Mein gut! What is this? Ignoranceville?

Here's some bands that actually play goth: Bauhaus, Christian Death, Specimen, Sex Gang Children, UK Decay, Dead Can Dance, Sisters of Mercy, Fields Of The Nephilim, Rosetta Stone, London After Midnight, Suspiria, Black Tape For A Blue Girl, Sopor Aeternus, Diary Of Dreams and The Cruxshadows.

[ryu-otaku]

Dont truly like it. Sorry..........

[Metal_Knuckles]

hey i love some goth music every now and then!!:band2: :angry1:

[Knightmare686]

i listen to gothic songs too. but not alot. i listen to slipknot, mudvanye(sp), cradle of fifth and some others. but i hate that people judge you by the music that you listen to. i listen to the metal/rock to tune out the world and be happy. and when im in good mood i listen to techo. Just check out my xanga http://www.xanga.com/private/home.aspx

[Genghis Beatrix]

Coheed and Cambria sound dark.

In my own opinion, goth music has a loot of dark imagary in it.

[Metal_Knuckles]

yeah and i like jimmy eat world they are hella tigh!!

[Ollie]

the only Goths I'm interested in are the ancient invaders of Europe.

[Metaldork]

Goremetal is awsome! It's really heavy.

[Metal_Knuckles]

heck yeah i love watching the sunday stew!! hey i bought the first season on dvd!!

[Metaldork]

Cool. How good are the extra's?

[Genghis Beatrix]

The German band Ramstein is really hard and really dark.

[Metaldork]

Rammstein is awsome

[Metal_Knuckles]

XD nicely done.

[Pakachu]

not quite sure what qualifies as gothic music.
personally i'm more into what i gues would be considdered german industrial. Rammstein and E Nomine.

nothing like angry sounding german dudes when you're in a lousy mood^_^

[Genghis Beatrix]

i don't like u2.

[botan79]

I'm listenin 2 Manson:love:

[Metal_Knuckles]

heck yeah thats the stuff!!

[Genghis Beatrix]

manson is awsome.

[Metal_Knuckles]

you said it there!!

[enjio]

yah manson is all right but i dont listen to it often

[Metaldork]

Manson is good but Cannibal Corpse is better

[KyoSohmaSan12]

to be honest i totally love gothic music. btw alot of the time i am depressed so this helps me ease into my normal mood. Gothic rock is basically what i listen to.

[*Nosferatu-Adore]

I hear Lacuna Coil is the same as Evanescense, except a little more Gothic. Is it?

[plzjustdie]

What is Marilyn Manson considered? Or Sepultura? Or Super Joint Ritual?

[Wolfwood]

I hear Lacuna Coil is the same as Evanescense, except a little more Gothic. Is it?
in a way i suppose it is, but it does seem a lot more gothic.

[.[TT]Death//Scythe666]

Jack off Jill ^^; there awesome

[Terra]

i didn't know that evanesence is gothic

[x3_RiNi]

I have a friend who used to listen to all Gothic, all the time. I got her into Radiohead, though, and now she's kind of inching away from that.
I used to like Sisters of Mercy, but not so much anymore.
I love Christian Death.
One Gothic band I hate is Siouxsie and the Banshees, but I don't know if they're exactly Goth.

[Wolfwood]

i didn't know that evanesence is gothic
well, i know one of there songs is concidered gothic, but there not really a gothic band.

[plzjustdie]

i dont like gothic music, it doesn't rock hard enough. I like metal and hard rock

[gadgetgirl16]

i LOVE goth music..... Jack off Jill is one of my favs....

[Terra]

i don't like gothic music... my sis do. i prefer rock and pop

[.[TT]Death//Scythe666]

i LOVE goth music..... Jack off Jill is one of my favs....

YAY!! JOJ fan ^^; lol so hard to find someone who likes them glad to find someone xD

[Gil]

They're cool. I like that one song that they do that... well I can't remember the name but its cool.

[Wolfwood]

Jack off Jill are so cool, sadly im like the only person in my whole school of 1000+ people who likes music like that... o well, its fun to be different

[Silver Ori-Kun]

I wouldn't go as far as Manson...
But yeah, I really like gothic rock

[SHADA-SMITH]

in dont like gothic music... that gothic band in holland named WHITIN TEMPTATION:<_<: .... no thank you i dont like that crapy music:<_<: ..

[Alyssa]

**Readies her chainsaw** Gah - you never appreciate good music til ya listen to em all, ne?

Listening to one bad song or one entire bad band doesn't mean you should quit trying. But still - I wouldn't go too far beyond the goth extreme. I only listen to a few - but I don't keep em forever. Still, there are a few good ones, I have to admit. lol

[Wolfwood]

now now Alyssa, put the chainsaw down... on second thought, go ahead, have fun :p

nightwish has some good songs too, just got to work out which ones are gothic...

[judastheavengingangle]

es anyone who has previously posted like mastadon?

[Nineteenth]

Mein gut! What is this? Ignoranceville?

Here's some bands that actually play goth: Bauhaus, Christian Death, Specimen, Sex Gang Children, UK Decay, Dead Can Dance, Sisters of Mercy, Fields Of The Nephilim, Rosetta Stone, London After Midnight, Suspiria, Black Tape For A Blue Girl, Sopor Aeternus, Diary Of Dreams and The Cruxshadows.
What? You did'nt mention Siouxsie and the Banshees or Faith and the Muse. B
Here are some more! Inkubus Sukkubus , Faith and Disease and Ikon.

As for Sioxsie... they are "almost", since "goth" is just a darker form of punk to begin with; if you want to get all techincal about it.

By the way, Manson is the Fred Durst of Heavy Metal/DeathMetal/Glitterish. He only made people THINK that what he does is "gothic" and how everyone who is another type of goth behaves.

Evanesence, personally; Is pop. Overglorfied pop.

[soshumeru90]

would you consider green day goth music cause thats what i mainly listen to.

[Nineteenth]

would you consider green day goth music cause thats what i mainly listen to.
Green Day is pure punk/alternate. Recently they are trying WAY to hard to come off as either Heavy Metal or goth.

Example: December/January (One of those..) SPIN Issue. They are wearing the normal "gothic" trends; which sadly don't work for alot of people and they appear rather homosexual wearing it. Not that I am implying anything.

If Green Day goes goth, that's it; I'll start listening to country.

[Queen-of-Mars]

Green Day needs to STAY where they were. Admit it, they are NOTHING like they were back when things like Minority was new.

[Vex]

Goth Rock has to be the greatest type of music ever, anyone like cradle of filth?

[stephen]

I listen to Gothic music just a little

[Vex]

And of course great music has to include: marilyn manson, zeromancer and rammstein.

[Vex]

Like any specific band stephen?

[Vex]

Any rammstein fans?

[MIGHTY_LORD_INUYASHA]

i like some gothic music but not all

[MIGHTY_LORD_INUYASHA]

well it depends if the song has a good rythem

[Drangons_Gurl]

am i the only one who listens to gothic music here?

although i like all types of music, gothic is my favorite at the moment. mostly the songs by lacuna coil:DGothic music is like the best man. I'm llisten to it all the time...(semi-goth I am)

[mimichan1000]

NIGHTWISH LACUNA COIL , IN FLAMES and several others i like r pretty cool!

[kaisen]

Well, I like Gothic rock^^ Hmm... my favourite is probably Malice Mizer. I think they're awsome XD

[neosetsuna2004]

My favorite "goth" artist is NIGHTWISH

[M.C]

ur not the only one I LOVE GOTHIC MUSIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! = D

[Marie2007]

i listen to some gothic music

[blondy]

slipknot and lincoln park

[Ninja Hatake Kakashi]

i like some like Cradil of Filth,As I Lay Dying,From Autumn To Ashes,and so on and so fourth ^^

[*Sasuke*Inuyasha*Kenny*]

im so lame, i like evanescence and mudvayne..hehe..LIMEWIRE KICKS MONKEY @$$!!

[S_C_L-1]

Some groups for you guys to watch out for, Quo Vadis (starting to hit it BIG) , Augury and Unhuman ... augury is bizzar 0_o but extremely good

[gothic tears]

Then we have much in common

I love the Kidney thieves and The Cranberries, they're awsome, talk to me in p.m.

[Phantasmagore]

I listen to ALOT of London After Midnight, but they don't glorify themselves as "gothic" because they hate being labeled. They haven't specified themselves as any type of music. HIM isn't particulary "gothic", they have specified themselves as Love Metal.



Eh. To each's own I suppose....

[S_C_L-1]

How bout Apocalyptica? there isnt even a name for their style yet...

[Phantasmagore]

I haven't the slightest idea. I found my information about London After Midnight at their official site, www.londonaftermidnight.com (http://www.londonaftermidnight.com)

Someone did mention Rammstein earlier and they are not gothic. They are more industrial more than anything.

[SesshoumaruOtaku]

I like Japanese gothic bands. i.e. Malice Mizer, Moi dix Mois, and others..... I like Elegant Gothic Lolita fashion too. Basically, the whole package.

With non-Japanese music, I'm more into metal, industrial, black metal, punk, and some glam.

[gothic_neko_youkai]

I love Malice Mizer, Sae got me hooked on them

[Demondaze]

Yeah, I like Goth music too.

[XxxBlOoDyxVaLeNtiNexxX]

I don't do goth... it's too much, well yeah, I may have a rel negative mind at times, but gothic is just too much...or gothic music. WAY too much. Heavy metal is good...

[Shattered Essence]

I hear Lacuna Coil is the same as Evanescense, except a little more Gothic. Is it?
Cristina defines her music as gothic metal so yes, Lacuna Coil is gothic
As for Evanescence, they just reach out to the goths I believe

[Vagary]

Goth music is alright. Bella Morte is pretty kewl.

[Annik]

Coheed and Cambria sound dark.

In my own opinion, goth music has a loot of dark imagary in it.
Coheed wouldn't be goth. It is, however, very creepy.

Noticed someone mentioned The Cruxshadows. Wahoo!







Every year thousands of bands are mislead into believing the music they create is something they're not due to genre pollution and misinformation. This causes even more confusion and disorder and the entire mess spirals out of control until you've got a fifteen-year-old boy claiming Britney Spears is speed metal. Please save our genres.

[S_C_L-1]

ak! the pain! the genre "speed metal" used to refer to songs like "perpetual burn" by JB and the such... now its the exact same thing as punk but played 3 times faster...

[Annik]

I never actually knew what speed metal was. A girl my friend knows kept mentioning "Japanese speed metal bands" and it slowly turned into a phrase that greatly amused me.

Now that I know what speed metal is, I'm a little intrigued. And I'm a little off topic.

i hope that by " now that i know what speed metal is" you mean shred... cuz most of the new-ish speed metal is total crap :S

[Master Of Shred]

Off topic a bit then on topic for a moment...

As with speed/thrash metal...Megadeth is actually one of the "Axis" the four who made the ground basis. Megadeth,Anthrax,Metallica and I for the life of my at the moment cannot recall the fourth one! Dagnabit!!

Any way...onto the topic related.
I think some goth or black metal is pretty good,I think those like Cradle of Filth, Leaves Eyes,Dark Funeral ect are pretty good, I like them in any case.

[S_C_L-1]

CoF is really an on/off thing for me... some songs dany kicks ***... others its the guitarist or the drummer... lord abortion would probly be my fav from them... i dont know why...

for speed metal, might i suggest Quo Vadis? those guys really kick arse!
