7. R U Sirius?

I did not know that.

[ZombieHorde]

9. Yes, well wait, do mean the guy, R. U. Sirius? If so I don't know much about him.

If you mean, am I serious about Throbbing Gristle founding industrial music, then yes.

[7wo7rees]

12. Yeah, that guy

15. I have not seen Mondo 2000 in a long time. nt

[Forkboy]

10. Good choices.

I was starting to think Nurse With Wound was just something I imagined.

Of course, Swans and Einstürzende Neubauten (or as my friend calls them, Easter Sunday New Button) are a little more known. :)

14. The first vinyl I purchased was Nurse With Wound - Homotopy to Marie.

My town has a small music store where one of the employees was big fan of old, industrial music, so he always kept bands like Nurse With Wound and Coil in stock. I loved it. After he left, the store stopped selling those bands.

Easter Sunday New Button

That is funny. I know I can't say Einstürzende correctly.

4. I wasn't born yet.

5. Tool's live show is just mind-blowing.

[7wo7rees]

8. Fungally speaking, it was expanding.

[CountDmoney]

11. Led Zep

I think Tool is the closest we have to Zep in their prime. The mystery! The darkness! Seeing Tool a few years ago I said to my friend (when I could see him through the haze of pot smoke) " this is like seeing Zeppelin in '75 man" Vivid memory.

[7wo7rees]

13. Very good answer

[HughBeaumont]

16. Neurosis and The Melvins.

Steel Pole Bathtub, Scratch Acid, Fripp/eno, Eno/Byrne, 80s Crimson, Godflesh, Einsturzende Neubaten, Popol Vuh, Big Black, etc.

[meegbear]

17. They listened to King Crimson ...

QED

[LanternWaste]

18. Music...

Music... though I still listen to music, and avoid the shallow end of the studio pool.
