Watch the movie Fight Club and you will see the aesthetic. Not sure classy is involved at all.

Mark my words the skin is a work of art, and not a shout fest even though I have not heard the songs you are talking about but I can imagine they are reasonably heavy.

It would be interesting to see the video how you want it with the music that you want, but I bet that the music would stick out like a sore thumb.

It would be like putting star wars fight scene with run dmc walk this way or something like that.

The skin is not edgy enough to have a wild soundtrack.

In my point of view anyway Smile

Odd.... I consider this an extremely edgy skin. With it's complete lack of sharp crisp lines and grunge textures throughout.

What about cemetery gates? awesome intro on that Wink

<OT> Run D.M.C. and Walk this Way should never be mentioned in the same sentence. That was the beginning of Aerosmith's sellout. That being said, even as a huge fan of Pantera , I don't see it here. Jethro Tull's Locomotive Breath --- a little hard, a little eclectic, maybe...</OT>

Big Grin

Yeah, I don't know about Tull... but I could see using some Motorhead. Ace of Spades comes immediately to mind. Big Grin

Screw it - can't go wrong with some old Sabbath. Big Grin

Think of it as the anti-Alaska.

As for the music - I know it probably doesn't fit your taste, but I would suggest "Busy Child" by Crystal Method, as it would go nicely with skin looks. Rofl

(just a joke, I just couldn't resist posting. Just tell me to goto hell and I will stop)

Tut tut no ideal of visual audio conception.

I think no matter what music is put to this, I think a lot of people just want to see the skin in action.

Personally if you are going to use heavyish music maybe a more soft rock option

bon jovi - we wernt born to follow
def leppard - pour some sugar on love
europe - the final countdown
def leppard - hysteria
zz top - gimme all your loving
aerosmith - I dont want to miss a thing

Probaly a few other classic softer rock numbers are available as well.

Or if you want heavy but alternative

And this has gone hideously off topic, but I started it so who am I to complain?

I had a new thought... William Shatner singing Cee Lo Green's F*ck You.

What about some Pig Destroyer? Wink

No, i'm just really looking forward to this skin. Love the retro style and it's the only skin that is COZY in my opinion.

Definitely not. I would take it personally :-)
