I hate these types of bands, they all sound the same...

[MJ12]

I don't even know what category they go in... girl goth rock?

They also manage to make the corniest videos ever.

I used to like evanescence when I was thirteen or so... because they had a song in the enter the matrix game.

Lucky for me I discovered ska soon after or I'd have led a very embarassing life.

 

[MJ12]

I did indeed like them around that age too....

 

[lefty]

It's normal for young/impressonable/stupid kids to have shitty taste in music or whatever. As long as they grow out of it, I mean.

 

[MJ12]

Yeah...... Linkin Park.... Limp Bizkut...

 

[lefty]

Fortunately I never got to listen to Linkin Park.

 

[Yorick]

mm I had the same thing with Evanescence when I was a kid.

I still like Nightwish from time to time.

 

[Iron Kat]

I still like Linkin Park, Evanescence and Limp Bizkit and I'm not changing that.

 

[Minister]

Didn't particularly think that Flyleaf fit into the 'genre' you're describing.

But yeah, I don't like them either.

 

[soulslicer]

Nightwish songs all sound the same.

Associating Nightwish with the rest of those mediocre radio bands makes me rage. Besides, the video you linked is new Nightwish, which has a much different sound than the older Tarja era albums:

[nipples]

Nightwish and Flyleaf don't even fit into what you are trying to describe here, nor does Lacuna Coil. Hell, I don't think any of these bands are even in the same genre.

What are you getting at, female singers?

Nightwish-Power metal/symph metal

Flyleaf-Alt. Rock/Post Grunge

Lacuna Coil-Gothic Metal

 

[Pesmerga]

Nightwish rocks.

 

[McGooTheWise]

Flyleaf rather reminds me of Alice in Chains...

Except that all of their songs have the same tempo, power chords, and vocal changes...

Ska was the first thing that came to my mind when I read the thread title.

 

[lefty]

Whatever man, ska is awesome.

My first taste of Nightwish was this youtube video.

[G(ordon)-man]

I hate commercial goth. Actually i hate goth too so it's a win-win situation.

 

[Unfocused]

Genres aside, the singer from Evanescence has a great voice IMHO.

Yes, yes and YES! I love this version, especially Steven Seagull!

 

[Dinkleberry]

Ugh... drama queens.

 

[99.vikram]

Lacuna Coil (This is the only band of this... genre that has a FEW good songs)

Fail. Fail. FAIL.

Lacuna coil are remorseless baby killers. :frown:

Evanescence is occasionally original IMO.

 

[unozero]

I did indeed like them around that age too....

same here

 

[unozero]

I wish they're were good bands with female vocals....my buddy at is in one that seems to be be pretty popular around here...I forgot the name though he was gonna hook me up with a CD.

 

[Sledgehammer]

Renaissance is a great band, although it's nowhere near this genre.

 

[nipples]

Fact:

Evanescence and Lacuna Coil sound IDENTICAL.

My mistake.
