i am not that keen on the dance scene but poi does look good along to music. does any of you guys spin along to rock music eg, rage against the machine, the red hot chili peppers, etc.

im thinking that it may be posible to rage against the machine but im not sure about doing it along to quite alot of other bands like the chili peppers.

im just wondering if any of you have experimented with doing it? ubbrollsmile

I listen to trance music when I spin.. I haven't tried it when the music is on a stereo so other people can hear. I might try that..

i find it difficult to class RHCP as rock, but ok, for the sake of it i'll agree wink i always spin to rock, metal etc. its great, fantastic beats, really up tempo, could there be anything better?! trivium is good, machine head, MCR, aiden, avenged sevenfold, bullet for my valentine, they're all great to spin to biggrin

ummmm...........anybody have any suggestions as to what i can put here?!

Funk rock like RHCP and Incubus are great fun to spin to. Personally, I find a lot of punk is at exactly the speed I like to spin at.

Muse are great too. smile

Old Kid Rock
Limp Biz
Ra
Drowning Pool
Disturbed
Godsmack

Then you can go for classic rock

Magic Carpet Ride is fantastic to spin to, I've done this song more than any other over the course of 10 years.
Classic Aerosmith
Old Motley Crue
and who can forget some good ole Metallica?
Ozzy...Shot in the Dark
Pat Benetar-Promises in the Dark
Heart- Barracuda
AC/DC- Shook Me (I have the "Push It" remix which is also funny)

anette is great. very different style than tarja though, but she's really good. she did some of the old songs performing in israel a few days ago (am still bummed about missing their show here frown) and she did them really well. I guess it takes some getting used to. I really love their new album.
in fact i'm hoping to perform with "the poet and the pendulum" at PLAY this year.

Oh, you folks make me happy. Im just reminiscing over the old Metallica, Iron Maiden, and Candlemass days. Those would be fun to spin to.

Right now Im enjoying chilling out to things like the Jayhawks, the first Buddha Lounge album, good ol bluegrass music, and some reggae dub.

But I have to admit, the best reactions I have gotten from an audience was when I was spinning to some off the wall things that no one expected:

Saturday Night Fever
Grease: the musical
DJ Yoda: How to Cut & Paste, the 80's edition. biggrin

I thought one person was going to asphixiate from laughing when I started spinning to Hand Jive, on the Grease soundtrack. GO showtunes!!

....course....Im a full-fledged spindork.

That's an excellent one! I used to go to this MidEastern cafe where a couple of patrons would bring instruments to play behind the belly dancer. I remember thinking that would have been good to spin to.

you could also probably find at least one song on each of the Putamayou Presents albums that would be fun to spin with.

Some Disturbed tracks are just pure awesome to spin to... IMHO, the best ones are 10000 Fists, Shout 2000 and The Game.

Dammit, speaking of The Game, I just lost. tongue

Re: New Nightwish: I think the issue is that they did not really change their own play style much. Tarja had a much wider range I think. Ah well, we shall see.

Anyone tried spinning to Tunng?

Spiderbaits cover of blackbetty is good for spinning to. If you don't mind not being able to see the staff/chains/rope any more because it's moving too fast.

An old thread many year ago listed "Please Sir" by Pitchshifter as a great song to spin to.

I got hold of it later that week, and it is now my favourite rock/metal song, as well as my favourite to spin to.

Hmm, haven't even heard any other Pitchshifter tracks, maybe I should or will it spoil my image from one song?

Pitchshifter are fantastic. Have had the fortune of seeing them live a few times but I find their stuff a bit too fast and aggressive for me to spin to.

'Rearviewmirror' by Pearl Jam is a good one though...
'Unforgiven' by Metallica
'Radio/Video' by System of a Down
'Black Betty' by Ram Jam Band

are a few that I remember...

30 Seconds to mars, Breaking benjamin, Radio Head, Panic at the Disco, anything that I can get that I ejnoy. It's all a matter of preference. Hell, you could probably spin to the barney theme song if you were that way inclined. What you spin to is based on your style and what you love personally.

Never take candy from strangers...... But popcorn is okay!

Same, I have spun to rock/metal but can't get into the "feel" as much unless it's really bouncy metal/rock.

In Flames and Strapping Young Lad are good to spin too, as are Sybreed and Soilwork.

Oh and pretty much every Nine Inch Nails song ever written grin

Will normally spin to trancy stuff though grin

I know it's odd, I'm a metal head, I love German Metal , Equilibrium, Rammstein, Nightwish, Oomph!, Eisbrecher, stuff like that. And I hate to spin to most of it. Poi actually got me into more popular music and I learned to tolerate and like a lot of it. A social plus ^^

The only luck is bad luck.

I think the reason metal is rarely good to spin to can be summed up in answering the question, how often do poi and mosh pits complement each other?

I know I do enjoy a lot of music that's no good to spin to, like Brujeria, A.C., Sepultura, but I enjoy my few spinworthy metal tracks more than I do even relatively yummy electronic. Though to be fair, my favorite spinning band, Godflesh, gave birth to industrial metal by combining black metal with trance/ambient influences. One could make the case that their being good to spin to comes more from their non-metal influences.
