Used to LOVE Pantera, Opeth, Therion, In Flames, etc.

Still do, but nowadays mostly listen to electronic music of various sorts though, heh. Metal just doesn't sound as "enhanced" with drugs. :)

Some metal is good. I'm pretty eclectic in my musical tastes, I listen to everything from classical to death metal to edm. It's highly dependent on the song moreso even than the people singing/playing it. I like a lot of old school metal bands like Black Sabbath, Megadeath, Pantera, and (old) Metallica. I don't get to hear a lot of new metal anymore.

i listen to pretty much everything also. my music of choice right now is in the electronic genre. i agree with neuromancer in how he says metal does not sound as "enhanced" with drugs. haha. metal can be great while high at times though..just need to be in the mood for it i guess.

My kids a big edm fan. I used to hate it but (shhh dont tell) it's growing on me. He mixes his own which is why I think I've actually tried to take interest and enjoy it more.

haha, i am a fan of pretty much anything in the electronic genre...and i have a few friends who mix their own music. one especially...the kid who introduced me to the road. he makes some great mixes for my MDMA or methylone times. he use to suck ass..but now he is pretty damn good at it and listen to his mixes every time im rolling.

Weed is, for me, the best music enhancer. I didn't listen to electronic music until I started smoking pot. Now, ~10 or so years later, electronic music of some sort (and I don't necessarily mean modern EDM like Swedish House Mafia, which I actually find pretty awful) is probably close to 90% of my music collection.

My friends and I, for the past ~4 years, have gathered to share music with one another on a regular basis. Everyone brings a set of 3-6 songs and we all get super blazed and listen to music on quality hi-fi equipment with some sort of interesting visualization on. It's a great experience and we've all been able to get into some stuff we normally would never have come across.

Shrooms and MDMA are awesome too, though for different reasons. Some of my favorite music is the sort that is reminiscent of the afterglow of a mushroom trip. Heh, I wish there was a name for that genre. (Ulrich Schnauss, Emancipator, Joey Fehrenbach are a couple of artists that come to mind)

Yesterday my fiancee and I rolled face and discovered some great music. Check out Efdemin's self-titled album (awesome dark techno) if you're feeling adventurous and willing to go off of a complete stranger's recommendation.

what kind of metal are we talkin BRA????? 

i love grief, weedeater, burzum, sleep, electric wizard, doom, agoraphobic nosebleed, nuclear death (!!!), unholy grave, acid mothers temple, cult ritual, mick barr, man the list goes on forever, i have tattoos..  i used to be really really into it, and played in a couple of raw black metal bands and made some stoner shit at one point, went on tour w/ some crust punk bands and a pitbull..  thats all

now i DJ dubstep/jungle/dancehall a couple times a month (always old school & dark) and produce music/write for local rappers, mostly on the shawty redd/lexx luger/zaytoven side of stuff, minimal, heavy on the hooks, rude horns, i work with a lot of young guys (teens) and really like to hear lyrical content in the tradition of triple 6, z-ro, ugk, etc. but from their standpoint.  many of them are just awesome artists imo, and i enjoy working with them much more than the metalheads for the most part (tbh i think i just have a bit of a problem getting along with white people IRL).

if i'm choosing music to listen to, though, by myself, it's always quiet storm kind of rnb shit, new edition, sade, keith sweat, maxwell, r kelly, trey songz.. im a sucker for a nice reverby rimshot...

"seeing red" by MT is probably one of the best songs ever.. when i saw fugazi a long while back they covered "sex bomb" by flipper LOL

if we're talking about punk tho they all fall short of bad brains & big black, those two seriously changed my life as a kid and really were the first bands i heard that made me REALLY want to play music..  if you've never heard "songs about fucking" by big black then i seriously recommend you download it, albini has probably one of the scariest guitar tones ever recorded on that album, IIRC he used to use bits of scrap metal for a guitar pick and he often cut himself very badly playing live with it..  also Dr. Roland, the greatest drummer ever, alll over the album  :P :P :P
