I've never seen any of their videos.any ones in particular i should watch?

A Favor House Alantic is hilarious, the suffering is kind of out there. I've seen a few more that I can't recall..devil in mew jersey I think was one of 'em.

C&C pwns!!! :love:

Ok cool...youtube here i come

I hate them.
I hate them so much.

Watch the music video to blood red summer. :)

Ok...will do

I haven't heard a lot of C&C, but what I have heard is great.

I love Coheed.. i love them so much.. fucking great!. :love:

:)Why yes...they are great

I hate the vocals, so I don't listen to them. Cool bandname though I guess.

i can't even say the band name right.. so when i talk about the band in person i just say coheed.. haha.. funny but i can't say the full name of the band right!. :p:

Cam (as in camera) bri (as in brianna) a (as in apple)

thanks for trying to help me say it.. but no it doesn't work.. theres a few random words i just can't say..... such as Alkaline Trio.. i can say Alkaline but every now and again i mess it up.. haha.. i'm strange like that

They need a new book in the dummies series;)

"How To Read Band Names For Dummies"
Series 1

haha.. are you making fun of me hehe.. :banghead: haha..

I tried listening to them but the vocals ruined it for me.

i heard that the origins of that band name are some strange comic that claudio sanchez writes. so i did a little research: read this.

apparently, coheed and cambria are the characters in a story, and all of coheeds albums tell this story. kinda interesting i thought.

also, up until 1999 when they replaced their previous drummer with josh eppard (current drummer, then of the band "3") they were known as "Shabutie". (which means "naked prey" or something along those lines.)

i enjoy coheed. theyre not something i'd listen to non stop for days, but i like most of their stuff. i like the way they combine a lot of different styles of music, and originality definitely works for them.

i like your random coheed facts...

umm i'm kind of the same way.. but i love this band.. only i know i can get sick of them really easy, and i don't want to so i choose not to listen to them that much.

Ive been listening to them for 2 days straight:)

when i first got into them i couldn't get enough of them i loved them so much i always had to listen to them.. but i new i loved them so much if i continued listening to them non stop i would get rather sick of them, and i just hate getting sick of good bands.

well see ..... same thing happened with me and TMV but it didnt happen because i listened to each album and EP roughly 3 times each every day for about a month straight...i love them as much now as i ever have

i did that with dark side of the moon, and low level owl albums.. but yea i haven't gotten sick of them either :D *puts on low leve owl albums*

I absolutley can't stand C&C. Well I hate all emo crap obviously, but lately some noobs have been telling me to get into them if you like prog and I was all rofl, I listen to prog that's actually good not like emo-prog.

^they are far from emo crap.

sorry but, no.

I have kids come up to me thinking they're
underground or emo because they're listening to coheed and cambria.
Sorry to re-instate my point but I just really hate this band,
'tis therapy.
They're so naff....and teenyboppy.....and pure crap to me
....bah humbug

Emo would possibly be the last genre I would think to put Coheed and Cambria under.

my first post:thoughts on CoandCa
 

Click here.

That guy has got the right idea.

wow that dude really didn't let anything slip.. But! i don't agree with the three different grenes that he thinks are mixed into one to make this band.. i can't even say what type of music i think coheed are.. they just are!

but i guess i did come out learning something.. i am in fact a nerd.. but i think i always kind of new that...

C&C have none of the elements of emo, except the nasaly vocals and the primary reason for that is the Rush influence.

I thought they were one of the best bands of that genre (whatever that genre may be... what I mean is they're not easily categorised into indie, folk, blues, rock, funk, d'n'b or anything I listen to)

But yeah so then I went to see them live and they just didn't do it for me.

Has anyone else had this experience?

C&C are like a combination of metal, prog, punk, alternative, pyschedelic, pop and every other genre that has ever existed.

classical too??? haha

One of their albums has this weird intro, sounds like Beethoven.

Plus the classical influence is evident in the prog influence, most prog bands have classical influences.

i do se your point.. its strange that a band can have the sound of so many types.. but yet i'm still unsure about where i think they might fall... pop sounds like a safe bet..

Every rock genre has its pop influences, even prog, Yes were greatly influenced by The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Simon & Garfunkel, The Byrds, Mamas And The Papas, Burt Bacherach, Frank Sinatra as well as Tin Pan Alley and Ragtime music, which were among the most popular genres around before Rock N Roll came along.

Punk too, i remember some punk bands listed The Monkees and The Archies among their influences. :D
