Yeah, I'm like that except with violins and other orchestral string instruments. I really love bands like Fairyland and Blind Guardian because of this, the whole epicness and overall quality of their songs is just amazing. Also the fact that they sing about geeky stuff like Blind Guardian wrote a whole album based on The Lord of the Rings and Fairyland sing about a fantasy land called Osyrhia and battles that take place there. Fantastic stuff.

My friends uncle David Celia uses the kazoo quite a bit in his songs. You should hear his stuff. It's incredible.

On a side note, who wants to start a Nexgen band?

I LOVE that also, bands that can implement orchestra music.
I'm more into serious lyrics, but occasionally, the geeky stuff is bomb

That's kinda the same to me. I love rock especially Lincoln Park, but sometimes I love some electronica stuff liek Rob Dougan and Juno Reactor.

Saosin is awesome.

I took a Computer Assissted music class and had some fun making my own sounds. I'd say some of them would be really good if they had better production values than what Sibelius can offer. My friends said so too.

I play the Guitar Hero and would say that I am quite adept at it. But seriously GUitar Hero opened me up to some old music like Carrie On My Wayward son and teh Trooper.

Linkin park fell out of my liking with their new album....

I loved them for being rockrap stuff.
then they went into the popular rock punk and it killed their style.
I want old linkin park that.
Hybrid theory is great, as is meteora

You should listen to Fairyland - Fight for your king! and Blind Guardian - And then there was silence. Amazing songs with serious lyrics too. Even after listening to them about 70+ times, I still get goosebumps.

so 50 cent said he'll retire if Kanye's new album Graduation sells more than his new one Curtis.
A. Do you think Graduation will outsell Curtis?
B. Do you think 50 will actually follow through with his bet?

Fiddy won't retire. It would be nice if he did though. Hell Kayne should retire too. Neither are that good in my opinion.
