IS THERE A CAVE!!!!??!?!?!

About Me

My name's Dan, I am currently going to RCC to get some GE out of the way, because I am poor. My life nowadays consists almost entirely of music. Of course, there are petty interruptions like school, eating, sleeping, black cock, etc. I am mostly a metalhead, obviously, but there are like 12 genres of music out of everything that I don't like. For the last 2 years, I've been in some band that was guaranteed not to do anything, but I believe that has changed. I recently started a proggy metal band called Prophet of Design, and it's good stuff. So, check it out; number 1 on my top 8. Yeah, if you have a burning desire to talk to me in real time, my AIM screenname is Abba Zabaoth. I'm done.

Pure Awesome.

My Interests

Either listening to, talking about, or playing music. That is what occupies my life.

I'd like to meet:

Uh...I usually limit my Myspace usage to people I know in real life. But besides that, people who are into the same music I am, because in case you couldn't guess, music is important to me. Like a lot. But yeah, if you add me and I don't know you, I'll add you at first and if I don't talk to you in some way in like a month after that I usually go through and get rid of you.

Way too many more to put on a list, but basically everyone who either is from Scandinavia or sounds like it for some reason. I know I'm forgetting some stuff that should be in there though. And that's just in the rock category. I also like most classical music, among many others; I particularly enjoy Romantic stuff, and the weird 20th century stuff like Bartok or Schoenberg. And I like choral music, being in a choir now as well as last year. I love Eric Whitacre, I think his music is genius. I like small combo jazz too; I like to hear the chemistry between the musicians. And the blues is always fun. There, I'm done for now.

Your Taste in Music:


Heavy Metal: Highest Influence
Progressive Rock: Highest Influence
80's Rock: High Influence
Classic Rock: High Influence
80's Alternative: Medium Influence
80's Pop: Low Influence
Alternative Rock: Low Influence
Hair Bands: Low Influence How's Your Taste in Music?

You are progressive metal. Technique is essential.
Long songs are essential. Keyboards are usually
essential (definitely essential these days). Be
a music snob. Its everyone else that's
narrow-minded anyway.

What sub-genre of metal (music) are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

You are Pain of Salvation. Masters of
emotional but down-to-earth lyrics and gang
vocals. You have the shortest songs of the
bunch, but you make up for it by making them
all work together as part of a bigger story;
a concept album.

Which Prog-Metal band are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
I apparently have some degree of tr00th as well.
You are that of the true and all powerful mind of
might. You scale the mountains of tyranny,
and mutilate all weakness which scurries into
your path. Your musical theologies are just
and true to the movement you support. You
yourself know that there is more to Black
Metal than just music. You are true to the
Black Metal world ..m/

Are you a true Black Metal enthusiast?
brought to you by Quizilla
What melodic death metal band are you?
You're Dark Tranquillity! You're one of the three bands (along with At The Gates and In Flames) who created the "Gothenburg Sound" of metal. You're known as a sort of intellectual band, as your lyrics have dealt with topics such as chaos theory, self-destruction, quantum physics, and varying states of consciousness. Although you're one of the founding bands of melodic death metal, you've remained in a sort of underground status. With nearly every member of your band (besides vocalist Mikael Stanne) contributing to the songwriting process, in addition to your inspirational lyrics, it's no wonder why you're one of the most accomplished melodic death metal bands in existance.

Movies:

I like several, but anything that has a good plotline and good characters. Unless it's a comedy.

Television:

I watch more movies than TV, and I hate shows where I can't jump in mid-season and understand what's going on. I don't like being a slave to the TV *cough*OC and Lost watchers*cough* I mostly watch either comedy central, or VH1 when they're showing either I Love the Decade or one of their countdowns.

Books:

Lord of the Rings, the Republic, Dune, and I haven't read enough to tell you many others.

Heroes:

me.
