I was wondering what everyone's choice on a band or some type of music, that helps them cope with depression, anger, and just darkness its self. I have found (from a refrence)that Pink Floyd (to me) does help, also Union Underground (i see they are mentioned in a former post), I personally find a band called The Juliana Theory to be a good source, although they are more of a missing love, that sort of stuff. But not bad if your having relationship problems. I also find Suicidal Tendencies to be a help..Please give me the names of some good music I can look into. thanks!

Also Nirvana can be a help, I see Cobain was a former post, btw has anyone read his suicide note? It made me think, that's for sure. Also if you heard Courtney Love read it aloud to the public, it's earier to understand if you read it. If you would like a copy I can give one to you. But just was curious!

Hootie & the Blowfish, Bob Marley....


and most of all...


"Hero" by Mariah Carey.


awww....

The upbeat sounds of Covenant always pick me up when i'm down... "You will acheive what they can only dream"

smashing pumpkins: siamese dream always cheers me up...

the best to scream along to is nine inch nails: the downward spiral... esp the songs "march of the pigs" and "big man with a big gun..." also "somewhat damaged" from the fragile..

and yes, there's always pink floyd.. esp. the wall..

staind is the best band to listen to when your down i think just sit back and play through the whole cd theres not 1 bad song

there is this one song which i know will always pick me up, no matter how down i am- "a warm place" by NIN.

if i am in extreme moments of dispair, i just plug in my headphones, put this song on repeat, and put my head in my hands, and just dream. it is a fucking beautiful song. i always feel better after listening to it. it is -dare i say it?- the perfect drug. hahaha.....

Hey man.

If you are depressed listen to:


Alive in Athens by Iced Earth

Serpents of the Light by Deicide

Midian by Cradle of Filth


The music in these albums is very arousing, especially in Alive in Athens.


Respect

Vlad the Impaler

When Im pissed and I want to vent.........
Faith No More
Velvet Acid Christ
Alice in Chains
Ozzy


When Im depressed and I want to wollow in self-pity.....
Radiohead
Floyd
The Cruxshadows
The Cure
Smashing Pumpkins


(btw, you can pick up a copy of courtney reading kurts note on napster, what a bitch)

Say what you will about courtney love, she gave one of the best speeches about the whole music piracy/napster/record company battle royal that i've ever read... once i find the shit i'll post it too.

Reggae or Reggae influenced hip-hop...try "Hope" by Shaggy, absolute best song of all time for fighting depression.


A song to avoid when trying to fight depression: Paint it Black. It's just not a good idea.

You know 'Dark' Messiah, I love Paint it Black. I am in a constant state of depression and misanthropy, and I listen to it many times a day...and you know what? It feels good. It is like singing along with your soul...if you are depressed and you listen to Marley then you'll eventually commit suicide...

Respect
Vlad Tepes

Somehow I fail to see the logic in that statement...also you used apostrophes instead of quotation marks around the "dark" in my name, which I think you were attempting to belittle, though I could conceivably be mistaken. Now I don't want to confuse your little brain, Paint it Black is one of my songs from my favorite band, but there's diffrent music you listen to at diffrent times. Sometimes I listen to Siouxsie and Bauhaus and Sisters of Mercy, and sometimes I listen to Beatles and Dylan and Hendrix. However if I were truly depressed I would listen to generally non angry or sad music.

hehehe

You know ''Dark'' Messiah...you are as dark as I am a faithful Christian...instead of insulting me by saying that I am ''not'' truly sad, go listen to some reagge on a beach and don't piss me off...If you listen to happy music when you are sad, the only thing you will eventually do is smash the Hi Fi to pieces. Don't try to play smart on me fucker...you don't know with what kind of person you are dealing with...you don't know how it is to be in my emotional condition...I am not in an adolescent 'spooky' phase...I have got over that years ago. I just have lost everything that I had in life. What I have left is a job and my music...nothing more...

wow, your a christian?

To say to me that I am a Christian, kid, is like saying that the Pope is a Satanist. Go play with your GI Joes sucker...And don't pretend to be evil...'The Devil Is Scared Of Me' monicker of yours doesn't say much...someone must be evil through his actions and beliefs and not only through his nicknames...

ok, vlad, your entitled to your opinion............... just remeber your a cunt, just so you dont forget.

The whinings of a thirteen year old Mansonite trying to be hard-core...listen kid, why don't you try "playing smart" yourself and growing up, while I point out a few of the redundancies and idiocies in your speech.

#1) I did not accuse of you "not being truly depressed". Now however I will. Get over the whole wannabe Dracula personality and get a life.

#2) I know exactly what kind of person you are, as I already said. A thirteen year old mansonite who want to act tough and pretends to be Dracula. Wow, creepy. There were about a dozen of those at my school.

# You are neither dark nor evil. You are instead merely a constipated ass. Telling people not to fuck with you does not render you the next Dracul.

#4) Am I dark? Yes, because everyone has dark and light sides, though I don't consider myself evil at all. But then again you're the one associating darkness with evil, as evidenced by your hatred of any black music. Must be from all the skinheads you hang out with.

#5) Neither Manifesto nor myself ever actually claimed or pretended to be evil (unlike your pathetic self), the Devil is scared of me label, which your Black eyeliner encased eyes view with such envy, is merely a result of our time and participation in these boards. See, those of us who are literate and possess oppposable thumbs can actually make insightful comments on this forum and so exercise that ability.


I'm done for now, you may go.

hehehehehehe, yeah....im not evil....
