np: Apocalyptica - Life Burns

In spite of starring the vocalist from one of the most mediocre 'heavy' rock bands to come out of Finland (Lauri Ylonen of The Rasmus), it's actually not that bad. It's probably the heaviest song with just a high tenor vocalist, percussion and a string quartet I've ever heard.

This video is so ridiculously '80's, but this has to be one of my favorite albums of all time.  Every time I listen to it I like it more.  I even love the cheesy saxophone solo.

Very "Indiana Jones."

Am I old if I told you I remember dancing to that song in goth clubs?  8-p  Still one of their best and that entire album is a true classic.

Yes you are, but that's not a bad thing.  I've always maintained that I was born 1 generation too late; I turned 15 in 1999, which meant I got to be a teenager for Y2K, and I got to be in high school when The Fragile and Lateralus and Animositisomina came out, but I try to play Floodland for self-described "goths" of my generation, and they've never even HEARD OF it.

Yeah it's crazy how "goth" now means pink neon leopard print and screamo part deux.

Same goes for Bauhaus.  They don't have a clue who they are either.

WHOA, really? Even the 'too uncool to be cool since being uncool is now cool' goth kids in my high school knew about the Bauhaus. I shouldn't say much because some of them would quote bands like Sisters of Mercy and I'd go "who?", but I wasn't a goth and even I knew of the Bauhaus.

I blame today's hipsters.

I shunned Bauhaus for a long time because of what I thought they sounded like, and then when I actually heard them for the first time I thought "Wow, I wish I had listened to these guys earlier."  And no one at my high school was capable of telling me otherwise, because Bauhaus was too mainstream for their hipster sensibilities.   :lol:

HA. Those kids were probably all, "That's totally SO mainstream goth."

I was, as far as I could tell, the first person at my high school to get into Skinny Puppy, and the first person to get into Ministry, and one of the first to get into KMFDM.

I'm proud of my Ministry "origin story:"  I got into Ministry in rehab.  I got arrested for possession of marijuana when I was a freshman in High School, and I made a deal with the district attorney that she wouldn't file charges against me if I successfully completed a drug rehabilitation program.

So I signed up for "MECCA" (Mid-Eastern Council for Chemical Abuse) and I got assigned a "counselor" named Brian, who was an asshole and a hardass, but was also incredibly lazy.

Due to the fact that he was incredibly lazy, whenever it was time for one of my drug tests, he would try to pull whoever was closest to him away from whatever they were doing to monitor my test for him.  As such, he frequently conscripted "Rick" away from whatever job he was supposed to be doing in order to monitor my test.

Rick was badass.  Rick was a former meth addict who had gotten clean and was so good as his job that there was NO WAY that MECCA was going to waste him counseling adolescent pot-"addicts."  Rick was working with hardcore meth and crack and heroin addicts, and getting THEM clean, so that they wouldn't die.

Rick was covered in tattoos and had a general "grizzled" appearance about him.  One day when he was monitoring my drug test, he saw me wearing a Tool shirt and mentioned "Yeah, I saw them live like, right after they put out 'Undertow'."

We got to talking about music, and he ended up recommending Ministry to me, and I checked them out and fucking LOVED them.
