God,I haven't listened to any new metal in like... at least 5 years. But play some Snot. They're awesome. Get some, snot and stoopid all excellent.

Pink cellophane//Deftones is well dirty and awesome.

cool beans... what's snot's best song[s]?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_alexandra_/]

Get some, snot and stoopid <--- those are songs. they only have one album as they stopped playing when the main guy died.

Fuckem, just kick it oldschool

[crazymeandave.livejournal.com]

yeah... that is my intention: old-school-mash-up-tastic.

you got any suggestions?

[untermensch.livejournal.com]

Dunno what kinda \m/etawl they be jamming to. Hmm maybe shit like Boy Hits Car, Disturbed, Deftones and all that nonsense?

Or something more mature? I can't even remember what metal I used to listen to but there was loads of it.

i don't know. it's the inferno crowd... and i've never been so i've got no idea what they like :/

[untermensch.livejournal.com]

Oh, fuck, right. In the metal room is it?

My experience of the Inferno crowd is that they are rather peurile and into their silly metal :p

[crazymeandave.livejournal.com]

no... in the ahem, dev.

but i've been tasked with pleasing the metallers

[untermensch.livejournal.com]

Ah right on! Play whatever the fuck you want, they're not hella fussy last time I checked. Also, it's a Hobgoblin now, innit?

[crazymeandave.livejournal.com]

yeah, just wanted to have a few current-ish tunes to play

[untermensch.livejournal.com]

As you may have gathered, I am entirely useless, sorry man :)

Don't worry, just play old school, lots of stoner, a bit of Pantera - the metal crowd in the Dev isn't all that young AFAIR, so the classics always go down well.

I'd say maybe a bit of downtuned/nu metal stuff as a contrast to the more glam/trad stuff that usually gets played, but tbh what people seem to want is familiar stuff while they're boozing.

[crazymeandave.livejournal.com]

any recommendations for the stoner stuff? was never really my bag

[mark13.livejournal.com]

I'm not much of an expert on it, but try Queens of the Stone Age, Sabbath, Kyuss, Monster Magnet, Fu Manchu, Spiritual Beggars and Orange Goblin.

Today Is The Day or Nile both rock hard but not sure how condusive that they would be to a packed dancefloor.

[crazymeandave.livejournal.com]

cheers mike. will check them out

You only need 4 bands - Anthrax, Slayer, Megadeth and Metallica.

[crazymeandave.livejournal.com]

You are a massive gayer. You know nothing of the metal.
