Making some mix cds for a little Vacation

Ok everyone calm down, calm down. Yes I am going away this Thursday but I'll be back some time on Tuesday. I'll try to get in one last Mercyful Fate/King Diamond post before I leave. Anyway the girlfriend and I are going up to Diggmans Ferry in PA with 2 of her friends to some cabin they own. My luck it will right near Camp Crystal Lake, We all know what happened there haha. I'll just make sure theres no retarted kids around and if so If I see them drowning in the lake I'll be the first to save him, because I really don't feel like going through all the BS of getting hacked to death on my vacation. I rarely go anywhere as it is. So I'd rather save that stuff for when I'm home atleast, ya know? Anyway I'm really just babbling on here and most of you probably don't even read this part and skip to the bottom where theres a question mark. So here comes the question.

If you were to make some mix cds to take away with you on vacation in the woods, what would you put on those cds?

Mind you I don't want any death metal! I want a good mix of songs in the rock, hard rock, metal area. Nothing too crazy, I drive my gf crazy enough as it is haha.

Stryper, Maiden, and Megadeth. Maybe a bit of folk metal for a woodsy feel.

yea but what song. give me bands and titles. and stryper blows. Im not going on a Gaycation

Steppenwolf - Born To Be Wild (always great for travels )

Iron Maiden-Invaders
Megadeth-Bad Omen
Metallica-Phantom Lord
Forbidden-Chalice of Blood
Megadeth-I aint Superstitious
Iron Maiden-Hallowed Be thy name
Tourniquet-The threshing floor

Try that Wayne.

STRYPER RULES!!!!!!!!!!

Bon Scott-era AC/DC is always a good time. Anything up to Highway To Hell. And maybe avoid 'Night Prowler', especially around the camp fire.

Cheap Trick is usually gender-safe, meaning chicks can dig it as well as most guys. Early stuff is classic and latter stuff, while mybe not as popular, is good time fun. Avoid their 80's material. They kinda lost their direction.

Avoid Stryper at all costs.

If you go the stoner route, try Fu Manchu. Thick, meaty guitars and lyrics that don't get much deepr than muscle cars, surfing and catching a buzz.

good stuff so far. Actually got a few things mentioned already.

Yea I avoid Stryper like the plague hahaha

The Angels - Dogs Are Talking
Therion - Voyage of Gurdjieff
Nightwish - Wishmaster
Dropkick Murphys - Fields Of Athenry
Blackmore's Night - The Clock Ticks On
Rhino Bucket - Beat To Death Like A Dog
Wig Wam - Rocket Through My Heart
Real McKenzies - Nessie
Lynam - Enemy
Hardcore Superstar - We Don't Celebrate Sundays
Rancid - Ruby Soho

Boston's debut album would be great for a road trip.

Ok, STRYPER IS NOT ga-hey!!!! YELLOW AND BLACK FOREVER!!!!!!!

nice stuff! I would add:

bobnoxious - Valencrime
Bonafide - Somethings Dripping

if *I* was going on a vacation? and no death metal (no growling vocals I assume this means)?

hmm..

no growlies, that would suck some for me right now..

but otherwise, right now they would include these (band/song):

Winterborn - Seven Deadly Sins
Winterborn - Overture 1939/The Winter War
Winterborn - Another World
Winterborn - On The Edge of Eternity
Winterborn - Coming Home
Falconer - The Trail of Flames
Falconer - Under The Sword
Falconer - The Sceptre of Deception
Boris - Amplifer Worship (album, just works better as an album)
Mamoru Fujieda - Patterns of Plants II (something much calmer, again, full album though)
Rage - Between The Lines
Rage - Don't Fear The Winter
Rage - Perfect Man
Rage - Without A Trace
Rage - Distant Voices
Enigma - Seven Lives
Enigma - In The Shadow, In The Light
Enigma - Dreaming of Andromeda
Enigma - The Piano
Enigma - Voyageur
Enigma - 20,000 Miles Over The Sea
Enigma - Feel Me Heaven
Labyrinth - A Chance (too bad it isn't out on CD yet)
Labyrinth - Lady Lost In Time
Labyrinth - New Horizons
Labyrinth - Freeman
Labyrinth - In The Shade
Labyrinth - Hand in Hand

Me personally, I don't mind a few growlies haha.

Could you send me mp3s? I just checked them out on itunes and I liked these. My email is openurlife@aol.com if your looking for something I got I'll repay the favor, if its no trouble.

Surprisingly, neither OCI nor I recommended any Dark At Dawn. Probably an accidental omission as he and I are the only proponents of the band on this board as far as I know.

My recommendations from the band would be:

Road To Eternity
The Ones With The Fiery Eyes
One Night Fall.

Then I have nothing to say to you! Good day sir!

oh yeah I'm huge on Dark at Dawn, just don't know if they would go on the mixes *right now*, like I said. Lots of bands are missing from there... get at me in say a week though and it could all change, just depends on the mood. If I had to rec Dark at Dawn songs though, they would be:


Baneful Skies
The 5th Horseman
Silva Mea
Daybreak
Avalon
The Road To Eternity
The Alliance
End of Ice-Warriorqueen

By definition, a "mix" tape should include various styles IMO. Hence the reason I listed everything from Therion to Rancid. Dark At Dawn should be represented in there somewhere.

Unless what you're really looking for is stuff to get laid by. Then my list would be entirely different.

ok I guess I would be in the mood for some Dark At Dawn too (since I just added some to my NP and it's working well), so yeah those tracks I mentioned.

Black Sabbath - Devil and Daughter
Riot - Bloodstreets
Obsession - Always on the Run
Testament - Electric Crown
Motörhead - Killed by Death

I do a lot of driving and a couple cds I really like to drive to but never see mentioned here is:
--Sister Sin switchblade serenades
--Feinstein third wish
--Opeth blackwater park (I really don't consider their MUSIC detah metal although most place them in the DM category)

- Paul Gilbert - Individually Twisted, I Am Satan, Spaceship One, Suicide Lover, Alligator Farm
- Extreme - Get The Funk Out, Decadence Dance, Rest In Peace, More Than Words, Play With Me, Suzie Wants Her All Day Sucker, He-Man Woman Hater, Hole-Hearted
- The Wildhearts - TV Tan, Loveshit, I Wanna Go Where The People Go, Sick of Drugs
- Slash's Snakepit - Life's Sweet Drug, Mean Bone, Dime Store Rock, Beggars & Hangers-On
- Guns N' Roses - anything off Appetite.

Yeah, nothing says summer driving like occasionally cheesy hard rock. I had to stop myself from adding in Poison, Bon Jovi and Slaughter.

Just pick up a copy of RAMONES MANIA. It's all the driving music you need.

Smindas, good call on the Paul Gilbert stuff. His solo albums are great. 'I Am Satan" is a pisser.
