Not sure what to call it

[Ritter4.0]

Does anyone else like to listen to "orchestrated rock" ?(thats what I call it at least) Like the soundtrack to the movie 300, and Apocalyptica and their versions of Metallica. I was just wondering who all likes this stuff... and I can't focus on a paper I have to write.

Would "orchestrated rock" be the next step past the "rock opera" and the "unified soundtrack?"

Examples of the former: Tommy, The Wall, The Final Cut, Radio K.A.O.S.

Examples of the latter (movie tites): Maximum Overdrive, Dune (1980's version by Dino de Laurentiis,) Armageddon.

Just curious as to where it would fit...

I like listening to soft-country deathmetal, ghetto-rap jazz, and christian goth.

I decent example of what your are talking about (I think) is Apocalyptica.

It's a cello/electric guitar band that plays a lot of Metallica and other rock band
music. They are pretty good.

I think he beat ya to it...;) And they're pretty cool. I think it's all cello/violin though, no guitar.
christian goth.

I know you meant it to be sarcastic and all...but check out Demon Hunter, Living Sacrifice, Tourniquet, etc...:D

Duh! :doh:

I'm not 100% there in the mornings. And I swear I have one of there songs around here somewhere that has an electric guitar in it...

Yea man, August Burns Red as well. There are some pretty heavy bands out there that have some positive lyrics.

I mostly like Godsmack, Shinedown, Nuerosonic, Theory of a Deadman, Rev Theory, Tool, Demon Hunter is good too, Metallica, Static-X, Disturbed, and quite a few others. Nothing too heavy though, I like to be able to understand the lyrics without looking them up.

5-90, I have no idea what those are, I've never seen that movie....

I just found this stuff last year and was just seeiing if anyone else likes it, and I'm not sure what its really called.

[Defiance665]

Vitamin String Quartet.

Well, I'd meant "movie titles" - but I've not been getting much sleep this week...

And I can understand your not seeing the first two (Maximum Overdrive, based on "Trucks" by Stephen King, had an integrated sountrack by AC/DC. Most of that appears as the album "Who Made Who?" I believe all of Dune was done by Toto. Come to chew on it, the 80's version of Flash Gordon - the one with Max von Sydow as Ming the Merciless - was all done by Queen,) but Armageddon is rather more recent - and was done by Aerosmith. You mean to tell me you haven't seen Armageddon?

Yeah.....I wonder if Netflix has it.

There's a group called The Recliners, or The Barcoloungers, or some kind of comfy furniture, that does what I think of as "lounge metal." Elevator muzak versions of AC/DC, Metalica, and the like. Pretty good stuff, the first few times. Then, like Weird Al, gets a little old.
