[Discussion Thread] Music and cubing

[Andreaillest]

Mostly hip hop and some rock. But I do very well when I'm listening to R&B,which is often. There was one time where the movie "Mean Girls" was on and I had the best times I've ever gotten.

Nitro - I can't listen to Classical while I cube, the music is too deep and complex I get lost.

While cubing I'll listen to bands like Nightwish, Within Temptation, Xandria, Avantasia, Stratovarious, Rick Astley, Dark Moor, and the occasional DCI show (drum corp international)

i listen to a bunch of heavy metal from bands like As I Lay Dying, Haste The Day, All That Remains, and Disturbed. i can't think of any others at the moment but thats what i listen to

I love DCI... Cavi's and Dev's FTW

i don't listen to music as a cube, it distracts me. but i love listening to chopin, rachmaninoff etc., mostly romantic composers. i also play the piano so thats probably why i like it.

Nice. The Colts usually have catchy and easy to listen to shows (good for cubing in my opinion.) But musically I always enjoy Phantom, although BD and Cavies are always entertaining. (lolCadets)

 

[crabs!!!]

Iced earth and if you look at my avatar it gives a hint to the other band I listen to while cubing.

 

[Crzyazn]

Anything I have playing at the moment. Right now it's Children of Bodom.
Any death, black, power, melodeath, symphonic metal, grindcore or Japanese pop will do.

I saw Opeth live once, and I left halfway through their second song. I went only for Dark Tranquillity anyway.

WTH?!
IS THAT TURBULENTTURTLE OF PENSPINNING LEGEND???????

I listen to Boston, Dream Theater, Metallica, and Nirvana during averages

I wouldn't say legend....
Who might this be?

I like to listen to music while doing speed events, but I absolutely CANNOT listen while doing blind, it is waaaaaaaaay too distracting.

I like Metallica, RHCP, Elton John, and AC/DC.

Woah woah woah, I went to that tour. Which venue did you see them at?

 

[TurbulentTurtle]

Well, I see your location is Kentucky.
I live in Canada.

 

[ShadenSmith]

Pretty safe to assume we didn't see them at the same time then.

Music distracts me whilst I cube. I find myself singing along, and therefore not concentrating on cubing enough.

Beforehand, however, I might listen to something like Coheed and Cambria.

 

[Kristoffer]

Depends, sometimes I need something heavy like Arch enemy, Lamb of god, Dimmu Borgir, Opeth..
Also System of a down, Sonata arctica(spelled wrong?) In flames, Soilwork well^^
I also like to use music while BLD

 

[toast]

Usually Weezer. Anything that's not from their newest album. xP

 

[penguin12321]

Linkin Park.

me too! AMEN!

 

[Lotsofsloths]

Muse.
Amazing band.

 

[fanwuq]

No external sounds at all. Just enjoy the sound of a loud cube clicking...
