The metal audience is normally considered rather closed-minded. Prove me wrong!

Here's the deal. You have to post at least one music video (such as pop, electronica, rap...) you like that reduces your credibility as a 'metal head'.

Me first:
The Flashbulb - Kirlian Shores
Mogwai - Friend of the Night

This is the former band of film-score composer Danny Elfman (Spider-Man -trilogy, Mission: Impossible, pretty much every Tim Burton -movie). Fucktarded name, but I loved this song:
Oingo Boingo - Stay

These aren't technically music videos of course, but perhaps my two favourite pieces of non-metal/rock music:
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky - Scene 1 from Swan Lake
Antonín Dvořák - New World Symphony, 4th mvt.

And I also have a ticket to Depeche Mode show here in about 1.5 months.

Great!

But I was thinking more like 1-3 videos per person. Nobody's going to watch all of these.

Cypress Hill- Insane in the Brain
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iK33KD7j_nc

"It's why I don't fuck with a big four -o"

The Moody Blues - Nights in White Satin

Never fails to move me. However the overall atmosphere and feel of the song is somewhat doom-metalish.

Ah well.

Crap. I got nothing. I guess I fit the stereotype.

I'll post a video anyways. It's a hard rock cover, but much better than the original. I posted this video a long time ago.
Too bad most of you guys can't read the comments; they are very funny! Btw, the guy is singing in a made up language, in case you are wondering. Not Spanish, not English, just what the guy understood from listening to the original English version.

I listen to J-pop/rock sometimes. (too lazy to look for videos)

I am a full blown homo
Zappa-He's so gay
Stanley Jordan-Autumn Leaves
Bumblefoot-Guitars Suck

Well it's a video of Amy Winehouse with her song 'Back to Black"

You and I would probably get along very well ragehead

I was listening to these guys most of the day yesterday

Yeah, whatever. It's catchy.

And this album was one of the soundtracks of my adolescence.

Pop-punk ftw, huh.

Haha classic! My brother had Dookie and Insomniac. Not bad at all.

Another band that my brother was into.

Well, maybe not of your taste but anyways:

Enrique Bunbury - Porque las cosas cambian.

I love the lyrics especially.


Chopin - polonaise op40 2

Of course...

It is!


Taylor Dayne - I'll Be Your Shelter. Used to listen to her when I was like 13, before I got into metal, still love her voice.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7qywdLb2Y4

Enuff Z Nuff - There Goes My Heart. I just absolutely love these guys.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTy3WA0Pq8M

(I actually saw these guys live in Tampere... :sick: )

Here's a band I just discovered, Van Canto. A cappella versions of metal classics:

Fear Of The Dark (Iron Maiden)
Kings Of Metal (Manowar)
Battery (Metallica)
Wishmaster (Nightwish)

And my favourite:
The Bard's Song - In The Forest (Blind Guardian)

Sounds really cool once you recover from the first shock.

They're great. I love them

Quite amusing, but I found they get tiresome after a few songs :s

Mozart's Concerto for Clarinet, 3rd movement. It means a lot for me (I've played the whole concerto, but this one has a special meaning for me)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrViboXX ... re=related (the video is not really important, only the sound matters)

Vincent- Miss Blue
so pop, so fresh, so...cute!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0pP--qbUeU
(and Swedish)

Need any more?

Definitely not metal...

The Beatles - Yellow Submarine cartoon excerpt
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3ICOe2BGK0

I remember this crazy, psychedelic cartoon delighted me and my cousins when we were little kids. We hated the "Blue Meanies" (cops!) and always cheered for the lads during this classic animated adventure.
