They mostly use English, but they still do quite a bit of Spanish

Yeah the language doesn't matter to me. Music is music. I listen to a lot of death metal too, so even the English bands I can't understand most of the time. lol

Probably so the voice would match up. It would sound really weird if it was guy A for the first part then guy B for the song part.

This is the one that got me started listening to music in languages other than English. Discovered this around 2002 during senior year of high school:

I listen to German heavy metal. My girlfriend plays Chinese music all the time and sends some to me. Most of it sounds like alternative / rock, except the lyrics are in Mandarin. It is pleasant.

 

[Glayde]

Has anyone mentioned "La Bamba"?

 

[Fritzo]

I enjoy some rap songs---it must be a foreign language because I can't understand a word of it.

"Verse number 2 do the damn thang keeps on my neck pocket's full of Ben Franks!!!"

WTF does that mean????

[meltdown75]

i can, yeah. i like a tune called Avalancha by Heroes del Silencio, i think it is in Spanish. it's from Guitar Hero

 

[darkewaffle]

Yea, I listen to The Pillows all the time, at best I can get a little bit of engrish out of it now and then but it's more about enjoying the music than the words in this case.

 

[Fritzo]

Everyone hates opera. :roll:

Unless Bugs Bunny does it.
