                        Modeling Music?

                        Just a curious question. What do you listen to for music when you are building?

                        My choices? Death metal, classical, world, instrumental.

                        What they now loosely refer to as "classic rock", or sometimes classical.
                        It's gotta be mellow stuff.

                        I have a cd player that holds six cd's in a cd holder. I just grab a cd holder and throw it in. They are a mix of soft rock, country & western and rock & roll classics.

                        I have put many of my cd's in my computer which is in my hobby room (go figure ;-)) and when I work on my models I listen a lot of Iron Maiden, ACDC, Metallica, Mozart, and Bethoven

                        Thank God for mp3s and internet radio. Music depends on whatever mood I'm in, but most of the time i just open iTunes and hit shuffle. I've found the more eclectic, the better.

                        Goood question!

                        Depends on what I'm modeling, really. WWII subjects, usually one of my Glenn Miller CDs. Vietnam, its usually the Doors. Modern stuff, metal all the way, usually OLD metallica, Pantera, etc. Good stuff!

                        I'm a big 80's fan. I also enjoy classic rock, country ,
                        classical and just about everything else except opera.
                        Listening to some 80's now. Sure does bring back memories.

                        The list goes on...

                        But when I'm not listening to music, it's OTR baby!!! Jack Benny, Sherlock Holmes, Sam Spade, The Shadow, Suspense, Lux, wartime news...

                        I wrote an article on this very subject for my club newsletter and also put it on the Articles page of my website.

                        A micro-hifi is part of my workbench, and I'll listen to just about anything, from jazz to hard rock, except classical, R&B and rap. I go from artists singing in English, French, Spanish, Portugese and Italian to instrumental stuff such as JM Jarre.

                        I guess this makes me somewhat of an old phart but I usually listen to "talk radio" rather than music.
                        If there's nothing interesting being discussed I will usually switch it over to "the Oldies"

                        Its good to hear that I'm not the only one that does that! I load up the Windows media player with Smith's, Cure, Depeche Mode, Dead Can Dance, Oingo Boingo...all the true "ALTERNATIVE" from the 80's. Also a some Def Lepard and other old school big hair bands!
                        I agree with Tigerman...before the days of responsibilities, kids, mortgage, wife(now ex--thank God!!), insurance, job(did you get the memo about the new cover sheet for the TPS reports?!?), traffic, being 30...........I'm going to go shoot myself now.
                        Just joking! Its not THAT bad!

                        What to listen to while modeling??

                        For me, anything comedy.... Usually George Carlin, but Bill Engvall, Jeff Foxworthy, and Dennis Leary all get their play time, too... On occasion, I'll listen to the AOL Broadband Comedy Corner... Just for something different...

                        I've got to have something to keep me smiling, else this hobby would give
                        me a coronary!!

                        I am a musician, bass player since 1963. (FSM's Paul Boyer is also a bass player.) I run the full gammit of music that I listen to. Lately I have been listening to Steely Dan's new "Everything Must Go" CD and the sound track to the movie "Standing In The Shadows Of Motown" which is really about the best bass player ever, James Jamerson, and the band they called themselves "The Funk Brothers". I suggest anyone who loves any kind of music to watch that movie/documentry. It is a real eye opener.
                        I also enjoy Classic Rock, Classic Country, Blues, Bluegrass, Big Band, Jazz, just about anything that features talent. Some of the garbage out today is very lacking in talent and goes for something different, sort of a shock treatment to get attention and they don't have mine.
                        Cheers
                        Bob S.

                        Tori Amos, please! I got almost all her albums and man she rocks! Cool [8D]

                        I like metal as well but singing loudly along with the music just gets in the way of modelling.

                        Aw, demono69, no Zamfir? I mostly listen to classic rock radio, talk radio or anything out of my meager CD collection(classic rock[mostly 70's], classical to Sousa marches). I like the Cobrahistorian approach of period music for the kit being built. As for the 80's stuff, I don't think I could paint straight with Oingo-Boingo, Devo, B-52's etc. playing. Too much jumping around going on! "Country makes the ears bleed!" I like that! That counts for both types, right...Country and Western?
                        All out of Snakes and Nape, switching to guns...
