More rock-like songs like Dark Angels' "Right Now"

[robojack]

I've been a Eurobeat fan for at least 5 years now. But recently, I just can't over Dark Angels' "Right Now", it's so awesome, and so different to listen to. It definitely sounds much edgier, and being a previous rock fan, it really makes me appreciate Super Eurobeat's versatility even more than I already do.

Are there any more songs that you guys can recommend that are similar to this song (Right Now)? I really think that more of these songs can draw a large number of rock/metal fans into the realm of Super Eurobeat.

Well, eurobeat has a lot of rock influences. I think it was Elena Gobbi who said "Eurobeat is basically rock with synths." (I think I mentionned this in my review of SEB162). A lot of eurobeat artists (Nick Mansell, Powerful T., for example) are also already in rock bands, Mexcal and Labyrinth to be specific.

(As a sidenote, you should check out Mexcal, Nicola sounds much more natural in it and if you like his voice like I do, it's a nice change. There's a free song on the Mexcal website.)

Right Now is certainly a very unique song, but sadly I've burned myself out on it, having heard it umpteen times, so I no longer really like it.

Another thing I noticed about it, I think it's the first non-J-Euro song to bear the title "Euro-Power Mix". Ayumi usually has the brunt of those.

I wonder if there's a non-euro-power mix of it?

Anyhow, to your question about more songs like Right Now... there are a few songs that are heavy on the guitars and sound a bit more rocklike, but nothing's really as unique as Right Now. I almost wouldn't call it eurobeat, even.

i also love that song!!! it would be great to get more of that kind of eurobeat

I think the weird thing is, in J-Euro, Euro-Power Mix means the remix was done by A Beat C.

I rember the Eurobeat artist 'Spock' doing songs almost like the 'Dark Angels' did... Alhough, "Enter the Sandman" is actually a cover. But, I believe "The Fire is on Me" is original...

[DanWaigand]

The Fire's on Me IS original. Enter the Sandman was a cover.. Yeah, we know that. I also find it easy to compare Dave Rodger's version of Not Gonna Get Us, the song Tatu did.

Outside of that, most of ABeatC's male songs have heavy guitars, but prettymuch nothing else has the sound that Dark Angels got aside from Spock. You might compare to Terence Holler too a bit.. but his Eurobeat stuff wasn't that great.

Hope Newfield catches this thread, I'd love to hear more too...
