Re: Great Dark Goth Bands
 

hey a lot of these bands are in the movie
unmasked part 25

They probably are in a lot of films expecially unknown films (well some). Like The Cure did The Crow soundtrack and London did a few other movies. You will hear of them once and awhile on soundtracks expecially horror related ones.

Bauhaus does "Bela Lugosi's Dead" in the first sequence in "The Hunger." One of the creepier pop songs ever... check out their record "The Sky's Gone Out" if you haven't heard it, it's probably their most horror-themed record.

I like Siouxie too, my favorite record of theirs is probably "Kaliedoscope."

sirenia
tristania
after forever
trail of tears

just to name a few ... its mostley gothic metal though, should apeal to someone of taste.

never heard Black Tape for a Blue Girl..what are some of their songs? Are they good?

Black Tape For a Blue Girl is good if you like your music slow, syrupy, and overdramatic. For those of you that like Nick Cave, but felt he pulled punches with his gore, check out Jay Munly and the Lee Lewis Harlots from Denver. Munly even looks like a corpse and he doesn't need makup.

if you have a sense of humor : alien sex fiend


a lot of 'gothy ' type bands are on the 4AD label

or used to be in the 80s

i still have Bela Lugosi is Dead on the extended 12" single ..

that and the Smiths: How Soon is Now are both great atmospheric (if overplayed) spooky tunes.

I think you people have turned me on to some new music. I never thought I was into goth music but looking at some of the suggestions I realized I already have a couple of them [ the cure, sisters of mercy]

I went to CDNOW.com and took a listen to some Bauhaus and the first thing I noticed is it sounds a lot like Bowie [ whom I like much ] then I saw that they did a cover of Ziggy Stardust, which sounded great [at least the 60 sec. clip did ].

My question to anybody is which Bauhaus cd should I get to start me off? The Gothic cd looked pretty good.

someone earlier mentioned The Shy's Gone Out

its a good one..

I have a bunch of them on vinyl .. i could tape them for you if you want .. that way you can check them out before you commit to buying one on CD..

unfortunately most people dont have casettes anymore

Casettes....hell I still have a couple of 8-tracks hanging around.

Thanks urgeok, thats very kind of you but I have two problems..one is I'm very impulsive and 2 is I'm very impatient.

I will be buying one of them tonight on the way home from work...or perhaps I may even go out at lunch.

I have got burnt in the past because of my affliction...i.e....I like the Talking Heads so I went and bought the TOM TOM CLUB.....bad move.

bauhaus warning .. the music is good but the lyrics are the biggest load of nonsensical pretensious postering you've ever heard which (sorry folks) is pretty typical of Goth.

if that doesnt get in the way of your enjoyment .. bust a nut !

Press Eject and Give Me the Tape is a good live Bauhaus ..

There's also Mask and She's In Parties (i cant remember if thats the album name or just the single)

I'm not a big stickler for lyrics....its all about the music. Thanks for the advice.

I agree with you 100%...

On the flipside, Pig Destroyer has some of the most AWESOME lyrics EVER...But the 'music' (grindcore) is so shitty that you can't stand to listen, and they SCREAM the lyrics, rather than sing them, so you can't even hear them...These are some of the lyrics to one of their songs that I absolutely love...The LYRICS, not the song...

Junkyard God

My knuckles are bleeding on your front door
and these flowers are wilting in the rain.
They were for you and now they are for no one.
They are irrelevant as mercenaries in times of peace.
They are smoke twisting off the lips of a movie star.
Here is a boy with paper skin who longs to touch the girl of broken glass.
She loves it when he wears his skin like that.
In tatters.



OPETH has awesome lyrics AND music...Check out the Blackwater Park album sometime...I love 'Harvest'

yep dont be looking for that kind of coherency in the bauhaus lyrics :)

she's in parties
its in the can

what the fuck ?


but i agree, its the music i like ... otherwise i wouldnt have 90% of the albums i owned.

there are millions of albums in existence .. there are but a small handfull of good poets :)

*Fart*:o

there's one now :)

...
 

This is kind of off topic but I don't want to make a thread just for this.

Has anyone heard Tori Amos' cover of Raining Blood? It's amazing and I suggest you listen to it.

Re: ...
 

this probably wont make you like me much ..

but Tori Amos makes my ears bleed.

I really really really really dont like her music.


Kate Bush i really like ... Tori Amos i really really really dont like.

So I was out x-mas shopping last night and I picked up Bauhaus's Crackle. Kind of a best of. So far I don't hate it. I only listened to maybe 4 or 5 songs.
