I have done this meme with different questions and on a variety of occasions and I always use Within Temptation.

[jesterjoker.livejournal.com]

I used Nightwish once. I was /tempted/ to use Kamelot, but they're my favorite and I thought I would do something unusual for me. :D

[sabriel75.livejournal.com]

Ahhh...now I should do this meme with Nightwish...hmmm... maybe a change is in order for me. :D

Nice choices of bands you have there.

[apple-pathways.livejournal.com]

Ah, metal; one of the few genres I truly know NOTHING about! :)~

ETA: and I had to google the bands to glean even that much!

[sabriel75.livejournal.com]

If you have not heard Within Temptation, you haven't lived. Just sayin' that I LOVE them that much!

A Dangerous Mind... that song on the compilation CD I sent you was by them.

[apple-pathways.livejournal.com]

Oh was it? None of the track listings showed up! I just had "track 1", "track 2", etc.

I made a boo boo with my iTunes the other day, so I need to dig out your CD and upload it again. (LONG story...I am not as technologically apt as I think I am! I went to listen to the playlist for the CD you made me yesterday, and I had managed to annihilate all but the last five tracks!)

Also I cannot spell!

[sabriel75.livejournal.com]

LOL!

It's track #5 if you still have that one and want to listen to it. :D

Must stay awake... HP Midnight showing tonight.

[apple-pathways.livejournal.com]

Oops! This is what I get for replyingto the wrong comment of yours...

Will listen now!

[apple-pathways.livejournal.com]

I was listening to Track 05 and thinking, "Hmm, this doesn't sound metal-y!" So I googled the lyrics, and it's by Hey Monday. I'll scan for the other one, though.

[sabriel75.livejournal.com]

oops... I am looking at the wrong playlist.

You have Somewhere, track #17 by Within Temptation. :D

I adore that song so, so much!

[jesterjoker.livejournal.com]

Within Temptation rules, but they're a little quieter than my metal and techno usuals. They extremely well when mixed with others. :)

[apple-pathways.livejournal.com]

Oh, I LOVE that track! I was going to ask you about it. I'm a sucker for piano, though. :)

[jesterjoker.livejournal.com]

The more gothic and doomy and angry the better. Someone described Kamelot as "tragic" and I think it fits extremely well. 8)

[apple-pathways.livejournal.com]

First: *pale girl high five*! I get tons of sun in the summer, 'cause I garden as a hobby, but I just don't have the melanin!

VERY intriguing answers! I would squee with you, but as I explained to sabriel75, metal is one of the few music genres I know nothing about. (Though google told me this band was "goth rock"; is that metallic?) Well, at least you have each other! ;)

[sabriel75.livejournal.com]

It would qualify for gothic metal, gothic rock, operatic rock, epic hard rock and many others, but Within Temptation manages what so few bands do. They combine classical vocal training with hard core, beautiful rock music and brilliant, emotive lyrics. And oh, but their videos are fantastic too!

[apple-pathways.livejournal.com]

Huzzah! Your CD was right next to my computer (so few things end up being where I remember putting them...) and I am re-uploading the songs. Do you remember (by any chance...) which track was the Within Temptation one?

[jesterjoker.livejournal.com]

Bwaha, you have the metal geekery, Sabriel57. I'm mostly new to the vein, but it feels surreal, because I've ALWAYS been a big nut for orchestral and now I get it added with psycho crazy!

Typically I describe my metal interests as symphonic metal or orchestral metal, as that's where I came from. I'm sometimes a nut for death metal and grunts, which is strange and surprising to me, because where did that originate? C_C

*throws the horns*

[jesterjoker.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't mind more sun, but I'm kinda bonkers and disturbing at the moment, while I try hard as hell to move and travel. o_^

[apple-pathways.livejournal.com]

I am totally missing the sun right now. Michigan has entered its Dark Phase, and I'll be living like a mole until April or so.

I love you two and your metal geekery. Too cute. ;)

[jesterjoker.livejournal.com]

Sun! Dark! They're both good.

\m/ :D

Oh, the White Stripes, good choice! "We're Going to Be Friends" is such a sweet song, I love it.
