[Discussion Thread] Music and cubing

[Dave Campbell]

I have a ticket to see Dream Theater in May

Sweet, i am jealous. Is that the run with Opeth, and 3? That would be an awesome show.

Are either of you Porcupine Tree fans, as well?

 

[KConny]

I can't cube while listening to something I like. Say System of a Down or Slipknot I like them and pay to much attention to the tune and it's rythm that my speed is far beyond my ability. So I have to listen to something mellow or something I dislike.

Porcupine Tree is awesome. Do you like King's X? "Lost in Germany" is a great cube song. So is "Dogman".

Opeth, 3 and Between The Buried And Me.

I'm not huge on BTBAM. But still. That show will be amazing.

 

[ShadenSmith]

Opeth is by far my favorite live performance yet. They sound just as good, if not better, while live.

....

Cubers who like Dream Theater, Liquid Tension Experiment, and Porcupine Tree! And I thought I'm the odd one out!

Err... I like to cube without music though.

 

[Lofty]

I listen to anything I like while cubing.
From Hymns to Heavy Metal anything works.

I don't like LTE or PT.

I normally don't listen to stuff like Dream Theater, but I idolize John Petrucci. Plus, I loooove their epic songs. Six Degrees Of Inure Turbulence is one of the best epics ever written.

My favorite stuff is more mellow. John Butler Trio, Dave Matthews Band, Xavier Rudd. And a lot of jam bands. Grateful Dead, Phish, moe., Keller Williams.

Dave Matthews Band is my main cubing music. Every record on my 3x3x3 I have set has been while listening to DMB.

 

[Lofty]

Since we are talking of shows I think I am going to go to Bury Your Dead this week Not my favorite band but I like one of the other bands they are playing with With Blood Comes Cleansing.
I suppose if I had their songs on my computer I would cube to them...

 

[ConnorCuber]

My 2 best songs are paper planes by M =.I.A (very laid back song) and In bloom by Nirvana.

 

[Musselman]

almost any hip hop. and techno when i doing really bad.

 

[wryyl]

Anything fast paced, or none at all.

Usually I put on stuff like Dark Tranquillity, Metallica, Epica, Arch Enemy, Nightwish, Amon Amarth, etc. Mostly melodic death and symphonic goth. Either those or I just put my playlist on shuffle. Music doesn't really affect my times anyway.

 

[nitrocan]

no music

 

[StachuK1992]

dragonforce
it actually takes about 5 seconds off of my average...no kidding 35-->30d

 

[CAT13]

I just listen to whatever is on my mp3 player. Rock and a bit of metal.

 

[Henxu]

Buf... I don't know...
Today I discovered Basshunter, and It was NICE, well, and sometimes I listen to LP, Skillet, or what ever I have in my laptop.

 

[TurbulentTurtle]

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.

 

[waffle=ijm]

Rammstein mainly.

Anything loud.

 

[nitrocan]

does anyone other than me enjoy jazz and classical?

Very much so, but I don't listen to music while cubing... it distracts me too much.
