Members nightflameauto Posted June 28, 2012 Members Share Posted June 28, 2012 I'm sure we've all got one. I'm a mostly metal guy. As I've aged though I've started to pick up a pattern in my musical leanings/listenings. Especially since I first started riding a motorcycle during the summers. Not sure WHY that had such an impact, but it did. Basically, through the fall and winter, I listen to and play the heavies, peaking sometimes during late spring. Once the bike comes out I start to slide a bit out of the heavies towards more mellow, peaceful stuff. About this time every year I wanna sell all my gear and use the money to buy a tele and an old fendery clean amp and sit in the back yard singing and playin' bl00zacky stuff all the way down to old-style folk tunes or even more mellow stuff. And I catch myself flipping to the smoother side of my music collection when I listen. So what type of musical cycle do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members paul88lx Posted June 28, 2012 Members Share Posted June 28, 2012 I've been and always will be stuck in the 1975-1995 era Boston Alt/underground rock scene. I branch out to other areas from time to time. But it never lasts and I always come back to a handful of bands that I never, ever tire of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarbilly74 Posted June 28, 2012 Members Share Posted June 28, 2012 I don't know if I have one. I play hard rock and most of what I play is my own band's material. I also have another group of guys (same bass player, different drummer and singer) that get together from time to time to jam on blues/classic rock covers but we do it very loosely, basically just improvising over the song's structure. Years ago, I recorded a whole album of guitar instrumentals but never released it or gigged to support it. I also helped a friend's church when my son was too small for me to leave him with somebody to gig etc..so I had to find a gig he could come along and that was it. So my cycle is whatever the project I am working at needs. I don't really play by myself much and when I do it's mostly songwriting or just straight up practicing scales and {censored}.

Members Blakkwater Posted June 28, 2012 Members Share Posted June 28, 2012 for the past 10 years or so, winters were black metal, summers were death metal, and the inbetweens were all over the map. lately though, i'm listening to less and less metal as i find that there is less and less stuff that i find interesting, with the exception of a few bands. Been listening to and playing tons of blues and blues/rock stuff. Love listening to jazz all year round, and occasionally flamenco. Also, classic rock and grunge are always in the rotation.

Members Phrophus Posted June 28, 2012 Members Share Posted June 28, 2012 I have no idea. Throughout the course of a day, it may change drastically or not at all. So far, I've listened to Thrice, Duane Allman, Wilco and Baroness today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members benjamin801 Posted June 28, 2012 Members Share Posted June 28, 2012 I went through phases: 1) Early 80s mainstream radio rock made me fall in love with music. 2) 70s and early 80s punk rock (Ramones, Pistols, Clash, Buzzcocks, Wire) convinced me I could actually play music. 3) 80s college/alt rock (Smiths, Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen, etc.) made me want to write songs. 4) Getting into 80s thrash (Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer) inspired me to become better than merely adequate at my instrument. With each new phase, I never really stopped listening to the music from the last one - metalhead friends mocked me for liking The Smiths, and punk rocker friends mocked me for liking Celtic Frost. But each phase definitely helped shape me into the musician I am now (for better or worse). Now I'll go through moods for months or seasons or years, where maybe I won't listen to London Calling for a whole year even though it's probably my favorite album of all time. It's so ingrained in my consciousness that I don't need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cibyl Posted June 28, 2012 Members Share Posted June 28, 2012 I'm all over the place depending on my mood,...not set pattern. I like lots of different stuff,...and a lot of which I would get slagged for on this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members -Assy- Posted June 28, 2012 Members Share Posted June 28, 2012 It coincides with my manic depression and what music is newly released. Right now, just coming out of an alt. rock phase (depression) Now that I am slipping into a manic phase (and also because of all of the new releases, Gojira, Periphery, Testament), I am really getting back into metal. When I calm from the manic phase I will probably get back into mostly acoustic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
