what gothic bands do you like to listen to?
 

-----------------if any

I don't listen to that stuff.

Type O Negative!

The Cure.

I guess that was the last real "Goth" band.

Define what you call goth and we'll see.
I listen to Nightwish.. do they count? -_-'

No thanks

The Goth kids from Southpark...they are so cool.

when they play the Talent show to sing the "we wont be in your faggy talent show" cracks me the fuck up every time.

LOL yeah that was good...I was thinking of that song too when I wrote that.

yes, "bless the child" is a gothic song

lol
yeah right! they are about as "goth" as avril lavigne is punk

I like faith and the muse, christian death, black tape for a blue girl, nosferatu, m.gira solo projects, razed in black, siouxie and the banshees, vnv nation, einsturzende neubauten, sisters of mercy, switchblade symphony.

Anders Manga from North Carolina. One of the best new Goth bands I've heard in a long time. They are also Industry, and you might recognize some faces in there. :)

I know the music police don't consider manson goth but most people would think manson when they think goth and his influences are very goth :2 cents:

i seldom listen to goth. but i must admit, some goth songs are really good.

That guy in Good Charlotte with the spiky hair, tatts, stripey clothes and "The Crow" eye make up..

Man i want to skin that fucking pathetic loser alive.

goth = gayness supreme

amputate your head = amputate your head

Disintegration was released in '89... Disintegration kicks ass. even 92's Wish was pretty good. It was only in '96 that the gems started being outweighed by the duds - round & round & round?!?!?!? And even still i've bought the more recent ones for the decent songs on each.

My mistake, Disintegration is a great album, but after that they just lost it... just my opinion.

Yeah I lot of people didn't like Wish, I thought it was pretty good, but i'll agree that it was fairly downhill after that, although an out of form cure is still better than a lot of other bands. If they had just released the best 12 songs from the past 3 albums and soundtrack singles they wouldn't have lost as much respect i think.

Well, yeah, even if they are out of form they are way better than a lot of stuff out there now, yet RS should update his look :)

the cure

If you wanna label industrial as "goth music", I listen to a lot of KMFDM/MDFMK and Meat Beat Manifesto

:thumbsup :thumbsup

I just wrote a long post and my browser crashed, so I'll just agree that early Cure is better than late Cure and industrial counts.

So,

What concerts have people seen?

I saw VNV Nation this last new years (was so fucking excelent)
KMFDM 2 times for there WWlll tour
and Covenant before that.


oh and to make some of you feel nice and old... the only cure cd ive ever posessed is blood flowers.. and NIN- the fragil came out when I was 15

But..im not into alot of the slow goth music at all.

The Cure is tied for my favorite band ever. :thumbsup
I've been a fan for 25 years, finally saw them in the mid 90's.

One of their worst albums - gah quickly get something else! anything! i think i listened to BF a sum total of 5 times, although i did go to the BF tour shows twice in two different cities, the best was melbourne when they finished up with boy's don't cry etc

Please go here and get a crash course on what we old farts enjoyed :upsidedow

A couple of my other old favorites in the gothish genre are Bauhaus and Sisters of Mercy.

whnever I'm in the mood to listen, I've got Nirvana.

Nirvana? Goth? Do you smoke a lot of crack?

Sometimes i watch a marylin manson music video when I dont have a horror film on hand

Tristania, Aesma Daeva, Sirenia, Theatre of Tragedy (older), Lacrimosa, L'ame immortelle (more industrialish though)

First 4 bands is what I consider to be actual gothic music.... everyone seems to classify it differently though. In this thread alone people named everything from punk to power metal to industrial (that COULD be considered gothic I guess!) :winkwink:

There's not much music that's strictly defined as goth that's any good, but: Skinny Puppy, VAST, Ministry, Ours, NIN, Lacuna Coil & Depeche Mode are nifty

amazing nobody said Sex Gang Children. i'd put them in my top ten favorite goth bands. also TSOL, but that was mostly pre-"goth" and considered punk but they were still goth imo.

- Jesus and Mary Chain
- Mission uk
- Cocteau Twins
- Siouxsie and the Banshees
- Love and Rockets
- Marilyn Manson
- Kraftwerk
- Depeche Mode

All in Buenos Aires!!!!!!!! :thumbsup

hehe, I didnt even know that alot of groups toured in south america.. So, thats pretty cool.

evanesence, nightwish and within temptation.
