Wow. It's been awhile since my last post but I think this section needs to have a little more excitement in it.
Here's the idea: Battle of the Bands
We can have different types of music have battles based on votes for people's favorite bands.

that would be neat to help keep the music lounge going
Shame our mod doesnt do much right now, i be hiring more people in 6 days.
wooo.....nows my chance! heh
anyways back to the idea.....would it be diffrent bands from the same genre of music?
b1zn4tch a cool guy. But he just isn't around a lot anymore. Do you think this idea could work MentaL?
It would be really cool if people would record themselves, and have a real BOTB's. But the chances of that happening are slim to none…
Yeah for some reason, my computer acts up when I try to upload my band's music so I can post it on RZ.
recruiting staff in 5 days .
That is a good idea Iron_Maiden! Battle of the Bands would definetly bring this section out more to RageZone. I hope this section gets revived with the new mods and the good ideas being put forward.
i would put my band up but im not in a band lol *drummer looking for a band*
well id do more in here, but usually there arent that many posts....
:/
maybe its time i leave the mod position.
ive had a lot of fun, but i got so much shit going on in my life right now, it looks like i cant keep modding.
Mental hope you choose a really good mod to fill my spot.
Either that or maybe MentaL could find another mod to help you, not replace you. I dont know about everybody else, but I thought you did a good job, you just need more help getting people into the music lounge. Who knows though, just a thought.Originally Posted by b1zn4tch
Yeah we're not sayin you suck as mod b1zn4tch. I just think we need somthin to spice things up a bit.
Well thers only like 4-5 regular posters here =/. Everyone else just skips down to the mmorpg forums and what not =(.......maybe battle of the bands might do things but do get more peoples attention, we need to diversify. Not just have rock and metal topics and what not. Oh well just my 2 cents on the topic =/
Yeah, maybe give out stuff (just a thought) for the winner or whatever, that might get more people to even come in to the Music section... Generally having (win a free) whatever catches people's eyes haha.
yea "win a free guitar pick that i used last nite" kinda thing lol or maybe sumfin a bit worth competing or posting for \m/
lol, well, im just running out of time, i gotta train for football next year and i have midterms, and i need to get a job cause im gonna be driving soon.
ill still try to mod, its just not as often as before :(
Music's like a religion. The majority of people can't have a proper discussion on it without it becoming a flame of "Mi moozik pwns yers".
You get a few Trance/Dance/House (whatever sub-genre you prefer) topics too.
Anyone else that does listen to other genres (Yes! I know! Other genres DO exist! :shocked: /sarcasm) who does post get ignored. Or at worst it decends into the whole one user feels self rightious enough to dismiss an entire genre with stereotypes.
Puts people off. This was always gonna be Metal Lounge.
I even predicted it when this section was 1st requested: https://forum.ragezone.com/showthread.php?p=618370
Excuse my spelling of "Rock" in that thread. I was in a pissy mood.
Metal and Rock are really the only music topics worth talking about in today's society because it's really the only type of music that reaches out to people not just in the U.S. but all around the world (especially in Europe). Rap and R & B are popular just not in the broad sense that Metal and Rock are. But I agree, we do need to "diversify".
I say we need to talk about real music...jazz... now anybody who hasn't taken theory lessons will probably think im a loser for saying that, but for real...not that crappy Kenny G. jazz im talking about some Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, or Maynard Ferguson. Now that! is music.
rock an metal isnt all thats out there thats good. Theres some really badass classical guitar players, neo-classical, smooth jazz, jazz in general, blues, hell even some fiddle players impress me just because of their skill. Rock nowadays is super repetitive and is already fading fast like general hip-hop. If you listen to the radio, most bands are just putting out the same stuff and calling it a diffrent song.
Anyways what we gotta do is get underground and cool music from ever genre. Im pretty sure that if you took some time to sift through other types of music, you'll find something you'll like. So im pretty sure if we got some people knowledgable in all types of music to band together (come together) i'm pretty sure we could compose a bitchen playlist of a lot of diffrent types of music thats bound to appeal to a lot of people here.
The only jazz I truly enjoy is some Eric Clapton, but then again he's really blues/classic rock. Close enough for me.
I couldn't agree more. Awesome post
Jazz eh?

I love the replies we both get.
From personal experience (of other ppl and myself included) most ppl don't care too much for music recomendations from people on the net. The recomendation is nothing without an example peice of music. Hey presto! Rapidshare! But then most people don't care enough to download and find out. Streaming is what's needed.
Edit: Sorry. I feel like complaining today. Exam stress.

I agree. We need instant music. It should be able to be like, "Wow this is fucking awsome...I'm going to go download more of this kick ass shit." Streaming would be extremely kick ass to have. It'll be like a kick in the nuts to those fat asses who sit at their comp and post all day. (No offense meant to those of you who do.) If I can just get my fucking comp to comply with my wishes, I could get this Battle of the Bands idea started.
My idea mainly comes from what the Portfolio section has. People postin their sigs, and others vote on who's the best. We could do the same. Instead of a theme of art, we could have a particular genre. And winners could be awarded some neat prizes every once in a while. For example, a free 3-6 month subscription to ragezone or free t-shirt. Something like that.
