Favorite single Falconer songs

[Spawnie]

Well, I'm entirely new to this band. Just had the pleasure of hearing them for the first time about a week or so ago. I couldn't tell you the name of the first song I heard... but I'm in love with this band none the less. I haven't been this excited about a band in eons. I've been blasting my apartment with Child of the Wild.  But, I did just purchase 4 albums of Falconer's this morning... so I plan to have a better answer in a few days.

Great to hear, Spawnie! How did you get in touch with Falconer's music?

Well, I met a friend of a friend a week ago... The mutual friend had been telling this person about how big of a metal head I was... he asked if I'd ever heard of Falconer. I unfortunantly for me, didn't know them. So we busted out the iPods and I had the pleasure of hearing this band. It took me a week to figure out who they were again but asking people to ask this guy and then tell me. I got the name again finally on Thursday night... I've been rocking out for 2 days now and SO happy. I'm in love... hahaha

Yeah, I think most of us who love Falconer have pretty unique stories regarding the discovery of the greatest metal band in the world. They don't play their music on the radio too often, heh heh. I found out about their music as late as 2003 when me and some guys went to a Iron Maiden gig in Stockholm. Everyone in the car had "contributed" with 20 fave metal songs and we listened to them in random mode. Suddenly "We sold our homesteads" broke the silence and I was amazed. I remember that sensational feeling so well. Since then I've been happily stuck. I also remember my friend (who had kept his mouth shut about Falconer for two years) telling me that Falconer was from the town I lived in. I was very shocked by some reason.

That is so great.... My all time number one favorite band in the whole world is Iron Maiden. I can also say that its rare to hear THEM on the radio in the US let alone anything that sounds good at ALL. The guy who introduced me to Falconer is a big Maiden fan too...  Crazy.

[The Black Knight]

Yeah. In Sweden they play so called "hits" about 300 times a day. I've stopped listening to them. Even on the major ones. Nowadays I only listen to pandora.com and iTunes.

What about USA then? Do they just play stuff like P Diddy, Paris Hilton and "Neo metal" bands (silly cathegory, that one)?

[Spawnie]

Our radio stations are such a waste of time. I either am listening to a cd in the car or the handy dandy iPod/iTunes. "Metal" stations around here... atleast in the greater Detroit area, consist of Motley Crew, Poison, and Ted Nugent.... BLAH! I called up just for the crap of it one night and requested Slayer... they laughed at me...  :roll:  But most of the stations are the hip-hop Brittany bull crap.... So sad.

[The Black Knight]

Argh. Well, Mötley Crüe is a great band, and Poison can be a nostalgic journey. But I know what you mean. There should be at least one metal radio channel in every country.

Honestly, here in IL I'd rather have a metal station like that!  The only metal station near me is in Springfield and all they play is nu-metal and metalcore crap.  In fact, I don't get that station here at grad school anyway.  Supposedly there are a couple metal stations in Chicago as well, but I'm told they play crap as well.  And here in Carbondale (Southern IL) there are NO metal stations.  Lots of emo/screamo ones, though.  Blech

I used to live in Flint Michigan, and there was a station there that was not too bad. Called The Banana 101.5FM, Then I moved here to The Detroit area and I have the "nestalgic" WRIF 101.1FM, which is the one I spoke of... LOTS of 80's hairband stuff... Then there is the Canadian station 88.7 known as 89X... lots of NuMetal.... Like Blink 182 and stuff like that... not really my cuppa tea. I was just telling a friend yesterday... if there was a HARD CORE metal staion.... it would be my saving grace. lol

Well, I'll be staring at the mailbox for the next few days now... my CDs should be here within the next day or so... then I'll have a valad post for this thread. CAN NOT WAIT!!! I'm going to drive my friends.... and my neighbors, LOL, CRAZY with Falconer!!! *gives horns*

[Spawnie]

Okay!!! YEAH! Got my first of four CDs Yesterday!!! I recieved Chapters from a Vale Forlorn. I've listened to the whole cd 3 times so far and I have to say that so far my faves are:

Enter the Glade and The Clarion Call

I have been driving my neighbors and people on the roads crazy. LOL

Okay, I'll be keeping an eye out for my other 3 cds and get back with you.   :twisted:

[Spawnie]

Do you get 95.1 ?  Out of Chicago I think, and theres another, 94.7 or maybe 94.9, I dunno, that my dad listens to that OCCAISIONALLY has something worth listening to on.  I believe that ones also ouf of Chicago.

[AngelOfMusic]

No, I live four hours away from Chicago.  Those call numbers don't work where I live.

ESPECIALLY not where I got to school.  That's at the opposite end of the state.

[J-Roc]

You think you have it bad, try living in eastern Canada. Here, there are two types of radio station (very)oldies rock, and rap/pop. If it wasn't for the internet (mostly epic rock radio) I would not listen to radio at all.

Really?  I'm not exactly close to Chicago either... and they work out here in the middle of the middle of nowhere XD.
