Any Skyline owners metal heads?

Hey, a music forum page here, cool!

I am thinking that surely some Skyline heads who like their cars with speed, power, and grunt, who would like their music the same way? The two go well together. Try listening to some ripping speed / thrash / death metal while ripping up the road in a speed machine, Hehehe, what a blast.

Been into metal since my good ol' high school days (and I'm pushing 50 now, how some things never change) , and listen to it all (well, most of it all, as there's some stuff that some people call metal, which I do not) from classic metal, to power metal (I'm talking real power, not the flowery false stuff) , speed / thrash, and death metal. Will be good to see some other metal heads here. I'll post some play lists soon. Won't be light reading though, Hehehe.

Classic metal is good......some newer stuff I can handle, but not into throat cancer candidates......probably cos its outside my 'era'.

Black Sabbath, Pantera, Tool, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Buffalo etc etc.....Not a Metallica fan cos of Napster

 

i grew up in the era of Korn, Metalica, Sunk lotto, Deftones, tool ect.

 

im still a big fan of ausy metal. was listening to Caulfield this morning on Spotify. quite good.

Dead letter circus is less heavy but so good.

Architects are another recent fave

Hahaha definitely metal head. Not heaps of old stuff but can't ever go wrong with Metallica, slayer, megadeath. best part about metal is it's real music not audio tune vocals or anything. Love new metal above all, parkway drive, the amity affliction, Thy Art Is Murder, The ghost inside. My list is endless.

I can't hate Metallica, even with the Napster thing. The way I see it, they lost that war and someone else was eventually going to kick up a legal fuss, if not them. Was pretty much Lars' doing anyway.

Having seen them live in the last few years, wow...to be playing the same music at that age and still be belting it out with the energy of 20 somethings doing their first gig...so impressed. They get played daily in our household.

I think Korn counts as nu metal, but I love listening to them and others (Slipknot etc.) before a weights session at the gym.

The older I get the more mellow my music has become 

I grew up listening to 70's and 80's punk and heavy metal, nowadays it's to pointlessly angry

Now, I'm more classical music, hell, me and the Mrs go to the Opera house now 

I do on occasion listen to some old punk stuff, but it is rare

I still regularly listen to Iggy & The Stooges, all the original British metal bands from the 70s (and bleeding into the 80s), Metallica (even though Lars is a bit of a dick), Tool (which is only "metal" because some of it has distortion - it is otherwise obviously everything but metal), most other proper prog rock stuff (my daughter is still trying to steal my Rush t-shirt for wearing to gigs), and so on.

But pretty much all speed metal, thrash, nu-metal, anything with gargoyle growling, can go eat a bowl of dicks.

I am also starting to listen to more classical stuff.

Orchestral, piano, violins.

Heard an Aussie opera track on ABC classical yesterday I liked randomly scrolling through stations.

I'm liking the stuff you listed in your last paragraph more these days.

Personal taste and all that.

Still like metallica,  but agree, Lars is a dick.

And tool is still awesome, but I wasn't as big a fan of their latest album compared to their previous work.

It's less aggressive, but definitely far more complicated. It's really driven by Danny, Adam and Justin pursuing their musical ideas even further out than before. It's actually better listened to at fairly low volume levels. Fear Inoculum itself is great track to listen to in the dark.

I get that, it's just personal preference. 

I felt it was more melodic.

And didn't overly like chocolate chip trip which most have about.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
