~ Welcome to Quills ~

Boys Like Girls-The Great Escape.I watched a live show in Singapore and they are the guests for this.I never heard of this band but after they played this song,I liked their playing and it was one of my favourite bands since then.
Linkin Park-Faint.I was watching a video and a music came out.At first I didn't know what song is it unitl I know it's Faint.Since then I place Linkin Park as #1 band to me.

Disturbed - 'Shout 2000', believe it or not. I heard it at work and was like WTF?! (Oh and 'Violence Fetish' - I was like "did he just say, 'I wanna get psycho? Wow, what a nut-job") I didn't like it. I hated Disturbed (not hate, I just didn't appreciate them) for quite some time. Blame my friend and old work colleague for starting me off on this merry path. Yay for finally seeing the light, I say. Spent many many months (almost 5 years) listening to them grind away in the background during rushhour at work and their 'anger' was infectious. It's energetic. It's inspiring. I heard 'Darkness' and argued it couldn't be the same lead singer. She proved me wrong. I'm glad she did. Else I' be wearing this logo on my back for no good reason now would I? Now 'Indestructible' is my themesong. It's how I see myself (or wish I was). When you see this band perform live you can't help but love it. Can't, he won't let you, man's as commanding on stage as he is in the stereo...


Linkin Park - 'One Step Closer'. Ahh the good old days. There's something cathartic about screaming 'shut up! shut up!' to a cool rhythm. I still enjoy their old sound. Yes they've matured, as expected, and I appreciate them for their many directions and ceaseless efforts to keep progressing - kind of like Madonna and her infinate 'look' she keeps 'reinventing' (anyone order a side of sarcasm with their meal?) but hey, when all's said and done the guys are still sentimental favs for me. OSC is timeless. Shame much of the new stuff isn't.


Rob/White Zombie - 'Dragula'/'More human than human' - what's not to like about this guy, seriously? Terrifying and brilliant (or just terrifyingly brilliant) his music has more layers than... hell, I can't even think of a befitting analogy it's that good. Have been a fan for ages. The movies are a whole other matter, but the music... yep. MHTH; very motivational music I say.


Nine Inch Nails - 'Closer'. You knew I was gonna say that weren't you? Well yeah, it is THE ultimate... intimate song. And let's face it Trent's not hard on the eyes either. But I really got heavily into NIN around 15-16 when I was a different, angry, frustrated person. Thing is I can still relate to it now some 15-16 years later (yes it's been that long) and if that's not a mark of pure talent/genius then I dunno what is. Man needs more recognition than he gets, that's for sure.


Static-X - 'Cold'. QoTD soundtrack. Then I discovered Start a War (the album - actually Lisa again introduced me to it) and I've been into their sound since. Only really enjoy that album though. Wayne Static is cool. Weird but cool. Nuf said, really.


Slipknot - 'Psychosocial'. So I didn't catch on to this band until they called it quits (again) but I have to say unlike LP (sorry guys) they get better with age... musically. Seeing them live really tipped me over the edge into liking them as a band, to be honest I still relaly love their latest stuff, the rest I don't really care too much for save for 'Heretic Anthem' and such. Adore 'Snuff' - one of the best songs I've heard in years. And any band with this sound and that many drummers at once has got to be a great thing! Corey and Stonesour, hmm, not so much. It's okay I guess but... I'd rather hear 'Sulfur' anyday frankly.
