April Fools Thread

[Annihilat0r]

you've been fooled bitches, this is not an April Fools thread!

I need a recommendation of bands using weird rhythms or time signatures, like Meshuggah, but without the load of SUCK. thanks for any input

 

[Vamos]

You asking for stuff similar to Meshuggah sure sounds like an April Fools joke!

 

[Annihilat0r]

the joke was this not being a joke thread; which makes this thread a joke, so go solve the paradox now

and why my asking for weird-rhythmic music sounds a joke to you? do I look like a linkin park fan or something? I like weird muzik.

 

[Vamos]

I have heard people saying that Textures is a Meshuggah rip off or something like that, so you may want to check that.

Influenced, but not a rip off.
Plus they are more melodic.

Sleepy Time Gorilla Museum have been compared to meshuggah.
why dont you give them a go?

zappa?

I tried to get into some zappa a little while ago, but I just cant.
His voice really gets to me aswell.
Although I can appreciate what he was doing, and just how much of a Musician he was/is.

Actually can you recommend a few tracks, from the weirdest to the most commercially accepted?
For no reason at all apart from I think it would be interesting.

 

[Arasmas]

best zappa albums to start out with:

vocal: Over-Nite Sensation
instrumental: Hot Rats

 

[grey knight]

I don't know about their time signatures or etc but...

Gojira?

Yeh, it was actually the tread you made last year that caught my attention. Great great band. I thank you for that.

Maudlin of the Well? You need to be more specific,man? How about -Tortoise, Mahavishnu, some Jaco Pastorius. Or must it be a metal band?
