I was listening to a fair bit of music on the way to school today and I was thinking of songs I thought I could apply to members on the forum.

Someday, sung by Hanaeryca from The World Ends With You OST. This one reminds me of Despised Freak. It's the they way I feel she could be portrayed in the lyrics.

Sympathy for the Devil by The Rolling Stones reminds me of S2K. To me, he is all about literature, history and decadence. I can also picture S2K going to a bar and picking up a woman introducing himself as the Devil. I suppose one could apply this to Honourable Rev as well.

Stupid Girl by Pink reminds me of Kuroi because she's all about the female empowerment/equality.

Vitas gets Welcome To My Nightmare by Alice Cooper. Vitas is my oldest and most trusted friend. He sees the world the same way I do. I think he'd be offended if I didn't give him something by Alice Cooper too.

Heretic, I hope is flattered that I've chosen Baz Luhrmann's take on a graduation speech called Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen). This is a very motivational song/sample with many words of wisdom. I've said many a time, he always has the right advice for all situations.

Because of some of the private chats I've had with RDS, I've picked the Wormwood songLet Me Move In by Stever. She'll understand why. It's like being serenaded by yourself, or something pretending to be you. Also note this is not the whole song, just a sample. You can listen to the full one here.

Search and Destroy by The Stooges could only go to my right hand of DOOM, Malf. For the searching and destroying that shall take place at our hands will make Mao, Stalin and Hitler seem like petty thieves.

As far as I know Vitas and I are the only people with copies of this song, so I can't find a source online, but Enemies of Normalcy would with out a doubt apply to Psychokinetic. Anyone who has ever talked to him via MSN would understand why.

Much like Heretic, Cybele also has great advice. Much like the Baz Luhrmann song, Pedagogue Of Young Gods by Saul Williams to me says "Cybele". However I cannot find a source for you to listen off of Youtube.

Sorry for those who are offended by the lack of inclusion on my list. I simply just could not think of something that would apply to you. Apologies all around.

I'm also curious to see what others pick to describe me.

Johnny_C: My Favorite Things but only when sung by John Wayne Gacy. Linger Longer. (Reference no-one here will probably get)

[Neochick]

i remeber a time when robyn blacks 'more effeminate than you' always made me think of psycho

[Sugar_Skull]

Hmm. Female empowerment is important. For myself I rather like 'Shove' or 'Big Gun' but I'm curious what kind of song people here associate with me.


Druidess would definitely be something TypeONegativeish. Laidback and cool but still dark, like 'Black Rainbows'.

RDS, 'Sweet Transvestite' for sheer gender bending exuberance that is always pretty groovy

Will eta if I think of any more.

[Vitas_Mortis]

JC You know me far too well. <3

[RazorToTheRosary]

uhm
Head Like a Hole, Nine Inch Nails for JC.

Do You Wanna Know, Alkaline Trio, Lola,

im not sure why it comes on in my head, but the Deftones cover of Simple Man for Heretic

Gologotha Tenement Blues, Machines of Loving Grace for Malf

Bundy, Animal Alpha for RDS

Opheliac, Emelie Autumn for DF

The Theft, Atreyu for Aloneitd

My wife once asked my why I bother to give out advice to people online, people I will probably never meet in person. I replied that there was an old television show I saw once in which a character told a story that illustrates why I do this sort of thing:

This guy's walking down a street when he falls in a hole. The walls are so steep he can't get out. A doctor passes by, and the guy shouts up, "Hey you, can you help me out?" The doctor writes a prescription, throws it down in the hole and moves on.

Then a priest comes along, and the guy shouts up "Father, I'm down in this hole, can you help me out?" The priest writes out a prayer, throws it down in the hole and moves on.

Then a friend walks by. "Hey Joe, it's me, can you help me out?" And the friend jumps in the hole. Our guy says, "Are you stupid? Now we're both down here."

The friend says, "Yeah, but I've been down here before and I know the way out."

If my personal experience can help someone, I have always felt compelled to do what I could to make their road an easier one to travel.

Good call, JC.

It is so accurate that it's slightly frightening.
Ha, now this song has been stuck in my head.

Excellent topic, I think.
I agree with many of the song matches.

Bundy, Animal Alpha for RDS

Ah, truly??
I am curious. Why this this song?

-trying to think of songs for members, I draw blank

[psychokinetic]

I do not know this Enemies of Normalcy, but I shall find out.
More effeminate than you is still rather applicable

Johnny C: Korn - Twist
Heretic: Completely agree with the sunscreen, especially after that parable.
RDS: Dude looks like a lady

I never heard it before, so I went on a search. Found it.

I am flattered and am moved to the point of tears. Wow. And I need to find out what else this guy has done.

Thank you, Johnny.

Sorry, it's not a goth or metal song that makes me think of you, Johnny. It's a Rush song titled Stick it Out off their Counterparts CD. It's about persistence and nerve, which I believe you have.

And no, I didn't pick it because you're all from Canadaland. My enjoyment of their music is one of the only positive things I gained and retained from my ex.

This is an interesting thread and I need to give some thought to the whole who, what, why, how of my choices.

[Johnny_C]

Are you kidding? I love Rush. Geddy Lee, Neil Peart and Alex Lifeson are some of the best musicians ever. I've seen them live twice.

Speaking of Saul Williams, I think he is the best artist in his genre. I love his music so much, I saw him live about a month ago. Best concert ever. Better than Alice Cooper, better than NIN. Saul got personal with the crowd. First song into his set, he runs straight off the the stage and proceeds to dance with everyone on the floor while singing. I high fived him.

You will probably like most of his latest album, because it was produced by Trent Reznor.

JC - 'Sir Psycho Sexy' by the Red Hot Chili Peppers

DF - 'Thank God I'm pretty' by Emilie Autumn

Weirdly enough, Grinderman (Nick Cave side project) has a song called Lazarus

Rosary has a kind of Fabulous Disaster vibe there, possibly 'Gia'

Lola reminds me of 'Birthday' by the Sugarcubes. (Bjorks old band) ETA or even 'Strawberry Gashes' by Jack Off Jill

and I hope that Heretic isn't offended that for some reason I think of Cat Steven's 'Father and Son', where the man is giving calm advice. Maybe I'll think of something more rocking when I've had more time.

I'd actually never heard that song before. Considering a recent conversation I had regarding the upcoming movie The Road (Based on a devastating, Pulitzer prize-winning book, btw), it is very ironic that you would pick a song like that.

Now I feel old.

Because you rule RDS! I can so imagine you kicking butt hehe

Nick Cave and Grinderman are awesome. AND Nick and Henry Rollins (object of a big chunk of my lust) are bestest buddies.

Witness Hank doing very bad backup vocals at a Grinderman show with Jello Biafra:

Ironic as in 'fitting in a strange way', or as in 'ludicrously opposite to what you intended'? lol don't feel old, you've just settled into the world and figured out how it works is all. I did say I needed something more rocking.

I didn't know that Henry Rollins was in that. I barely recognised Nick himself, what with the hair and the pimp suit when I was used to the wild hair.

[cybele13]

Nick Cave is a man who has been known to change his look drastically over the years. He's a completely different animal today than he was in the 80s...but his voice is unmistakable.
