Onyx's 8888th Post Thread: "How did you discover your favorite band?"

[Lowbreed]

Range of favourite bands, however the top few are: Jamiroquai (don't remember), Soundgarden (GTA SA and brought back to my attention with RB), Children of Bodom (Brother), the Hives (no clue) aaand Hummingbird (GTA 4 ). Oh and Pearl Jam, but only their first album (again the Vidya)

I discovered my favorite band after watching The Departed for the first time. If you don't know what band I'm talking about by now

Amen brother, amen. Watching the Departed re-sparked my love of the Murphy's all over again.

I was raised with Die Ärzte. My brother was fan. Best live band ever. Every concert lasts about ~3 hours (~1hour talking, 2hours music) only popular in Germany, therefore maaany concerts.

They realized that fun is more important than art. Also it is less artificial.

 

[Squarez]

I first discovered Led Zeppelin by listening to Trapped in the Drive Thru by Weird Al.

I'm embarrassed.

 

[JRCB]

A Youtube video that had "Prayer of The Refugee" in it.

I am now a huge Rise Against fan. Oddly enough, I was introduced to Muse the same way.

 

[rekabdarb]

i found my rammstein through... i don't really know anymore i think it was unfortunately world of roguecraft

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

I don;t really have a definitely favorite, but if it's anyone it's Thin Lizzy, whom I have been listening to my entire life, thanks to my dad.

 

[Razvelius]

My favourite band is the Red Hot Chili Peppers and I started listening to them A LOT after I saw the Californication video.

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

My neighbor had 'Emery' playing when I played Gears at his hosue. i heard 'In a Lose, Lose, Situation.' and Fell in love with them.

 

[A random person]

My dad was a fan of They Might Be Giants and played some of their songs (Birdhouse in your Soul in particular) rather often. A couple of their songs being on Tiny Toons Adventures helps.

 

[Booze Zombie]

I heard them... on the television, of all places.

 

[Gizmo]

My Favorite band would be A Day To Remember, and I came across them via a t-shirt that looked really cool so I bought the t-shirt and looked up the band.

 

[Dr.Susse]

I found out about budgie from Russ Pitt's review of Brutal Legend (thank you escapist)
But my most favourite, The Doors, seemed to be bored into my skull from birth.

 

[Deleric]

I like Gorillaz, cause my friend recommended them to me.

 

[CardiacHero]

The Beatles,

But I orgasm over all classic rock.

=/

 

[Nouw]

I heard of Rhapsody through a youtube clip. Tribute to glorious battle scenes.
I heard of Lucas Turilli by searching through youtube.

 

[Deef]

I discovered Dethklok through Metalocalypse (Durr), Threat Signal through iTunes suggested music (surprisingly enough, considering that's usually all bullshit), and All Shall Perish through the related videos on youtube.

Hooray!

 

[jmoore4ska]

I found Streetlight Manifesto when i discovered that the original singer from Catch 22 had his own, 100x better band. Never looked back. (Well, i looked back a little. Catch 22 isn't so bad.)
