Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2003 This is DEFINITELY mainstream acceptable. Soil, Static-X, Motograter, Seether, Finger Eleven, and post-Demanufacture Fear Factory are all very radio friendly. ..."Destroyer Of Senses"...**cries** I'll skip this one. Nothing looks good on it. Looks like another shitty excuse for some nu-metal bands. I think the last movie soundtrack that I honestly liked was for Bride Of Chucky. Slayer, Type O Negative, Motörhead, White Zombie, Judas Priest...what's not to love? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted October 11, 2003 eh alright...I'll take the word of someone who knows more about this stuff than I. It just looked like alot a nonmainstream stuff to me. Of course I knew a few of them were mainstream. disregard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted October 11, 2003 Eh, you'd be better off getting the new Morbid Angel and Lamb of God cds. Particularly the latter. Other than that, nothing on here that really grabs me. Meshuggah's good shit, and Shadows Fall is decent. "Immortally Insane" is one of Pantera's worst tracks.

Walk onto any city street and ask 10 random people, and if more than perhaps one of them claimed to be familiar with any of the bands you listed I'd be shocked. It may be "radio-friendly" but most people don't know what the fuck "Finger Eleven" is nor have any desire to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Metal Maniac 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2003 It may be "radio-friendly" but most people don't know what the fuck "Finger Eleven" is nor have any desire to. I'd say that's not very true. I know a great many people who know of Finger Eleven, actually. And if I asked ten random people if they knew of any of the listed bands, I'd honestly be shocked if I only got one. And it's not just mainstream to Laz, either. This kinda stuff is essentially mainstream to anyone who's interested in heavier music, because it's what gets seemingly the most attention from all these crappy rock magazines and such. Basically, if you're at all "in-the-know" with heavier music, you probably have heard of a few of these bands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2003 Go to any city with a rock station. Ask those who listen to said rock station who Static-X and Seether are. Static-X is still "big" for the "Push It" single, and Seether are the current "it" group of rock/radio, it seems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Boomer Sprinklespax Report post Posted October 12, 2003 How about the O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack? The music on there is great, and it sure sold a bundle...but it's not at all mainstream-friendly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SamoaRowe 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2003 A lot of those bands have been featured on other soundtracks. Of those artists I've heard, they could be easily played on any commercial rock station. By the way, Finger Eleven rules all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most people in this country? I can't picture a majority of them knowing or careing about many of them. So? If it gets MAINSTREAM play, it's a mainstream tune. Fuck, even Slayer are mainstream, and they're only on metal shows that SOME mainstream radio stations have. And as for prefacing the comments, you need to. This is a heavy music soundtrack. If it was an all rap soundtrack, featuring rappers I'd never heard of but were "big" at the time with videos all over MTV and songs all over rap radio stations, I wouldn't know a damn thing about it being mainstream or not.

Guest Doyo Report post Posted October 16, 2003 he was talking about mainstream to America vs. mainstream to heavy music fans metal shows that SOME mainstream radio stations have. mainstream = commonplace, widespread, very prevalent which is not what I would consider a once a week metal show on some stations. There are around 300 million people in the USA alone and few of those bands listed have probably sold more than 250,000 albums. Most of them also haven't been in the billboard top 100. It is ridiculous to call anything mainstream if it has not been a top seller for even one measly week. Most of those bands could play a concert in New York City, with its huge population, and they wouldn't draw more than 2,000 people. There are tons of movies that come out every year that don't make the top 20, but they still get shown at select theaters across the country. Maybe big movie buffs consider them mainstream, but the common person isn't going to. Most rap artists that have "videos all over MTV and songs all over rap radio stations", also sell a ton of albums or at least make it into the top 100, unlike most of the bands listed above.

Guest Frank The Tank Report post Posted October 16, 2003 Aside from Motorgrater, who I never heard of, all the bands he mentioned get alot of airplay especially Seether. And yes The Bride of Chucky soundtrack rules all. If it wasn't for The Crow soundtrack, it would be my favorite one. As for this soundtrack it looks like complete shit. I already have the Pantera, Lamb of God, and Shadows Fall songs, and I can download the Morbid Angel and Hatebreed songs if they are any good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Doyo Report post Posted October 17, 2003 Aside from Motorgrater, who I never heard of, all the bands he mentioned get alot of airplay Compared to Nickelback, Staind, Linkin Park, 3 Doors Down, AC/DC or Led Zeppelin? Does "a lot of airplay" = 2 to 20 video plays a year on Headbanger's Ball and Uranium, and limited playings on a few radio stations here and there? Name one major radio station where you can turn it on at 3 in the afternoon and have good chances of hearing Lamb of God or Morbid Angel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Frank The Tank Report post Posted October 17, 2003 He didn't mention Lamb Of God or Morbid Angel. I'm talking about the list of band CoreyLazarus was talking about. Static X and Seether don't equal those bands, but they come close. Fear Factory and Soil get some radio play based on their hits, but not much video play. Finger Eleven isn't really mainstream, but they do get some radioplay, but I've honestly never saw a video from them. Most of the people I hang out with know who all these bands are.

Guest Burrito Report post Posted October 17, 2003 I thought the Freddy vs. Jason soundtrack was pretty nonmainstream, and I listen to a lot of the "heavier stuff" such as KillSwitch, Shadows Fall, Hatebreed, things of that such. Just my opinion, but then again I am kinda out of what is considered mainstream and stuff nowadays. -Burrito Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2003 Turn on a rock station. You're bound to hear the new Static-X single (which sounds like KoRn and Dope collaborated on a song, which means Static-X went from "tolerable" to "ultra shitty" in one album), and WILL hear a Seether song, within 2 hours. I'd call that mainstream. As to whoever said something about record sales... Shadows Fall's The Art Of Balance was in the Top 100 (and atop the Metal charts) for a decent bit of time, I believe. Which is incredibly pleasing, as the album was only known to SF fans (and the numbers grow with each live show, might I add). True, I wouldn't say Morbid Angel are mainstream. I'd say they're middleground (well-known, but not in the Top 100). But can you honestly tell me that you didn't hear of Pantera, Mushroomhead, Soil (whose song "Halo" was a big Top 10 rock single), Static-X, or Seether before this soundtrack? Thus mainstream friendly. A soundtrack that is not mainstream friendly would have, maybe, 1 to 3 bands that are mainstream/middleground. The soundtrack for The Crow is a fairly good example, as most of the bands weren't mainstream when the soundtrack came out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Doyo Report post Posted October 17, 2003 Shadows Fall's The Art Of Balance was in the Top 100 (and atop the Metal charts) for a decent bit of time, I believe. Nope, they have never been in the top 200 and Billboard doesn't have any metal charts. They did make it to #15 on the top independent albums charts. Soil (whose song "Halo" was a big Top 10 rock single) False, that song only made it to #22 on the rock charts. Their album made it to #193. Yes, I'm being anal over something not important, but facts are facts. To be fair I will list these five who have made the top 100- highest position on album charts: Seether #92 Hatebreed #50 Fear Factory #32 Static X #11 Pantera #1 source: www.allmusic.com which uses data from billboard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
