General music listened to is various kinds of techno.Lighter stuff, usually, the heavier more hardcore stuff is warm up music for soccer or for gaming.

I enjoy being relaxed, so I just listen to DJ Krush and Tokinori Kondo's Fu Yu. That is some fine music... Or I just turn on the radio to a suitable station and let it go in one ear and out the other. I am concentrating too hard on my stuff, usually.

For painting, I stick to more melodic stuff. Everything from Marillion, Journey over UFO, MSG or Rainbow upto metal like Maiden and Crimson Glory.

For battles it either gets epic and I slap on some old Manowar, or go full out on death metal.

**Goliath**

It varies depending on what mood I'm in.
Usually it varies between:
Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Foo Fighters, Pendulum, Coldplay,
Elbow, The Hoosiers, The Miserable Rich and Empire of the Sun.
Although sometimes I just put my Ipod on Shuffle.

**ian00107**

I like some pretty chill stuff, mostly Canadian bands though.
I listen to Sloan, illScarlett, BarenakedLadies, City and Color, Alexisonfire and Incubis (the only non Canadian one lol)

Well I listing to a lot of music - so I think a little list might be in order:

1). Hammerfall.
2). Volbeat.
3). Rammstein.
4). Sabaton.
5). Silent Hill - only the songs with lyrics.

**SargesSquad**

A lot of house music. A buddy of mine is a DJ and a 40K player is well, so he'll cook up something from time to time that's really good to paint to.... not usually a whole lot of lyrics, but it's good stuff.

Mostly MTV during painting.
The commericals sometimes can get annoying, especially during Christmas.

You have MTV that plays music videos?

Why is it all quoted?

**dannnnnnnnny**

Generally bands like Mutyumu, Múm, Porcupine Tree, Mono, Explosions in the sky, Portishead.

Other times stuff like David Bowie, The Doors, The Cure.

Although If VaulSC has a new batrep out I will be listening to that while I paint.

**Fateweaver**

Haha, you don't like to listen to 16yr olds whining because they want Usher to perform at their bday party and mom and dad can't book him so she might have to settle for Backstreet Boys? Man, get with the times.

For me it's mostly metal...Dimmu, Arch Enemy, Otep, Cradle of Filth, etc.....

The chick that fronts Otep is hot as hell...

Sister Christian
Oh the time has come
And you know that you're the only one
To say O.K.
Where you going
What you looking for
You know those boys
Don't want to play no more with you
It's true

Haha, just to be different

**chaplaingrabthar**

MOTORIN'

**artyboy**

I listen to talk radio or I turn on the History channel or Sci-Fi.

**Linked**

Slayer. Well, that really depends on my mood but it's almost always some kind of metal. I even listen to some rap once in a while.

I listen to this while painting. On occasion I'll have some movies playing instead.

**Khornholio**

Recently I've been rockin' the Dethklok CD.

DO YOU LIKE COFFEE?!

**nivekdaork**

I have a huge (legit) music collection;

but the faves on the playlists are

Social D, Lucero, Clutch, Rise Against, The Clash, Horton Heat, it keeps me awake

I tend to light up a nice cigar and just see what Itunes wants to spit out at me

**spartanghost**

When painting Tau, i listen to alot of Doom 2 Remixes and other FPS soundtracks/remixes.

Space Marines is everything from Final Fantasy X OST to Dexter OST to Queen.

Also Weezer.

They say i need some rogain to put in my hair...

**Wolfgang**

I'll listen to some Metallica, Guns N Roses, Black Label Society and some movie soundtracks

**Archonate**

Instrumental stuff is nice. I enjoy the DoWII soundtrack, but also the soundtrack for The Witcher has some really good music on it, along with the soundtrack for Shadow of the Colossus.
Otherwise I just listen to all sorts of random.

**nyyman**

Have I already posted in this?
Anyways, if I listen to music while painting, it is usually metal. Not the heaviest Satan-praising metal, but industrial, melodic black metal, progressive metal and stuff like that.
Like Pain and Sonic Syndicate. The only two things you swedish have done right on top of Marabou (don't take it too seriously).
