Welcome to Gaia! ::

i like good lyrics, and a good tempo, and fast guitar

in a band

i'm easily impressed by solos

just, ones that are good though

and its even better if you can perform well while playing

i'm a sucker for solos

and real cool riffs

Its all about the sound I love different and fresh sounds I'm all ways trying to get some cool sound out of my bass that I've never hurd. I also love a good heavy guitar on the deminished fith that kicks some a** Tri tone the devil's note I love it! I love bands that can do some thing crazy with an instrument too for example COB takes guitar to a new level with sound warping, they make those things sound ******** crazy, Lamb of God's deep demonic vocals with their blast beat drums and wailing guitar is the best, profugus mortis with their combo of shrilling and grunting vocals, and voilen and pianic key board with a deep bass and heavy guitar, Ensiferum's embrace of ancent and viking like sounds, Moonsorrow's extrodinarly long songs with one of the most epic guitar and key board combos I've ever hurd, Dragon Force's speed which probably is the fastest guitar ever and the magical feel of that music, The songs from Nobuo Uematsu like Jenova which are a great combination of orchistra and metal, The misfit's extremly dumb and low grade lyrics with a highly distorted guitar and retartedly simple riffs, Rammstein's german lyrics and eire sound mixes, Marylin manson's continued use of sounds from many odd objects, My band's overactive imagination and extrelmy voilent and death related lycrics and the whole groups constent attempts to make some thing that no one has ever hurd befor. We need a few more fingers on our hands. like two more would kick a**. The clash's combination of punk, and reggea, along with some much more complicated riffs and a very up beat and cheary sound. All that kinda stuff makes me wet when I listen to music.

I don't know if I mentioned it in my wall above but the band needs to be alive and more alive people is way more impressve to me. If you have the endurance to head bang for a whole concert that's prity crazy and prity god damn kick a** too! Even if the music isn't extremly perfect or crazy a good stage show can make an event, people will remember how people act on stage, I usually like antics as much as music but only if the music doesn't suffer.

I like good tempo [can't stand overly slow songs] Also love good riffs,solos, and the little effects used in songs to make them sound cool.

Then, I have a conflicting thing. I like songs to have lyrics, I just can't stand singing [I loathe American Idol] *spelling

well what turns me on is always amazing musicians! if they are being extreemely creative, sound good, and have a good time doing it, they're good.
the way i see it, it is great when bands are trying to get the audience moving and have fun, but keep in mind that, that can't be all the music is. for instance i saw a band in portland, they were terrable.
they were a punk band (forgot their names) but they got people to mosh and stuff, and it seemed like that was the thing they put the most thought into. the "music" was 3 power chords (B,A,G) and repetetive drumming with the bass player playing 8th notes. the vocals consisted of "fight, fight, fight...all you like to do is F#$&#xin;g fight!"
it had hardly a spec of musicality involved, so you should always be looking for musicallity before you think about "get people moving."

I like Drums that are random and have random time signatures
