What do you all listen to when playing EB?

[tapanojum]

I think I remember seeing a similar topic but I cant seem to find it. I ussually turn up some old school hip hop and rnb.

I did however end up making an instrumental for hip hop, but I found to be very entertaining to listen to while in the middle of a fight. Makes it feel all epic and dramatic and stuff

What do you all listen to?

[Xehh II]

I listen to The Edge, a radio station here in NZ.

[Horst Nordfink]

Usually my girlfriend moaning at me about playing "that thing again".

[mrtwisties]

Ditto.

[tapanojum]

Usually my girlfriend moaning at me about playing "that thing again".

I read that first part then was distracted by someone before reading the second half of it. Gave me quite the chuckle haha

As far as the opposite sex knows, I don't know anything about computers but how to check email/myspace =p

[konny]

I listen the dishwasher, because I am banned to the kitchen when playing a game with a lot of killing sounds and shouting in strange languages. Nothing for a relaxing evening in the living room....

[Palasta]

I listen to Death-, Trash- and Heavy Metal. This kind of music combined with the mass slaughtering of pixelsoldiers, creates a potential for running amok far superior to what a ordinary FPS-player is able to achieve.

[The Celtic Viking]

In the strategic map, it's always the vanilla EB music. The same usually goes for the tactical map, but there I sometimes throw in "Fortunate Son" by Creedence Clearwater or "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane. That's, uh... EB-music, rock and psychedelic rock, respectively.

EB music.

Even if I wanted to listen to anything else my computer is too much of a trash to run both EB and a media player at once.

I'm mostly obliged to hear whatever football κрαп bro turns on the TV though.

[sanitarium]

I listen to metal mostly. Heavy, speed, thrash, power, progressive, even a little black/death. A lot of it even fits in themetically with EB.

Some of my favorites:

Blind Guardian - Battlefield, Mirror Mirror, Blood On My Hands
Hammerfall - Ravenlord, Let the Hammer Fall, Hero's Return, Blood Bound
Falconer - Enter the Glade, The Clarion Call, Lord of the Blacksmiths
Dream Theater - Pull Me Under, The Glass Prison, Misunderstood
Iced Earth - 1776, I Died For You
Stratovarius - Anthem of the World, A Million Light Years Away, Bloodstone, Dreamweaver, SOS, Kill the King, Awaken the Giant, Millennium
Nightwish - The Kinslayer, End of All Hope, Moondance, Wishmaster
Slipknot - Before I Forget, Wait and Bleed
Dio - Losing My Insanity, Holy Diver, Rainbow in the Dark
Ozzy Osbourne - Bark at the Moon, No More Tears, Gets Me Through, Crazy Train
Sonata Arctica - I Want Out, Full Moon, 8th Commandment, San Sebastian
Symphony X - In the Dragon's Den, The Eyes of Medusa, The Witching Hour, King of Terrors, Masquerade '98

And anything by the following bands:
Metallica, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Rammstein, AC/DC, Disturbed, Rob Zombie

Looks like I'm the only one here who likes to listen to some hip hop while charging cavalry into a flank

hmm

[russia almighty]

A little **** da police is kinda ironic when your playing as Pahlava and your fighting Seleucia .

[Horst Nordfink]

Quite possibly.

"Hip hop" means nothing to me. I can't relate to anything they sing about. I don't have millions of dollars. I don't drive a Bentley. I don't beat my hoes. I have respect for the rule of law and don't want to "f**k tha police". I don't like big buts. I can in fact, touch this.

I prefer to listen to metal, but I also like to listen to blues or folk music if fancy takes me. I really like Johnny Cash or Nick Drake. Francis Dunnery is also brilliant.

Then I'll tear this sh!t up with some Megadeth or Funeral for a Friend (before they turned gay).

[the_handsome_viking]

Abba.

[Horst Nordfink]

Abba and Erasure? I bet your iPod is worth a look over!


I also like The Smiths, Led Zeppelin, some Beatles songs, The Groundhogs, Rush, Pink Floyd, Robert Johnson, Thrice, Rise Against, It Bites and Hot Chocolate!

[BerkeleyBoi]

I listen to Chinese rock music... I won't bother to list them since most people in China, let alone other countries, have never heard of them.

Western music I like Dropkick Murphy and Flogging Molly... kind of strange listening to Irish punk rock while playing as Saba though...

[tapanojum]

I don't consider that real rap at all. The hip hop that I listen to never talks about money, cars, or hoes. They rap about everyday life things, each persons life story. Some of it is nice and soulful like "Common Sense" rapping about his sweetheart. One of my favorite songs is by Talib Kweli who raps about his children being superstars in his eyes.

This is real old school classic. Common rapping about how he misses real hip hop, how now its all about gangs and shit. Listen to the whole song, you'd think he is talking about some girl but at the end is the twist.

Seriously I get embarrassed saying I like Hip Hop because people right away think of that stuff on the radio that is horrible and unoriginal. It's crazy how pop and rock and even rnb now have better and more clever lyrics and word play that rap.

Although it is fun listening to "MOVE B!TCH GET OUT THE WAY" while charging cavalry into a flank

[Horst Nordfink]

I prefered that to all the other hip hop I hear nowadays (although I do go out of my way to ensure I don't hear any). He did sound like he was rapping with a blocked nose.

I don't understand why R'n'B has started to be synonomous with Hip Hop now! When people say R'n'B to me, I think of the Small Faces, The Animals, The Who, The Rolling Stones or The Yardbirds! (Come on, I'm sure I can think of one American band that is R'n'B!?) That's what Rhythm and Blues is!

[Mad Hoplite]

I can't stand anachronistic music. The only exception I allow myself is "Dido & Aeneas" from Purcell while playing as Kart-Hadast.

[the_handsome_viking]

Erasure. Always.

[Senatus Populusque Romanus]

I often listen to Gladiator OST
