Music to prop by?

[Coonce-Ewing]

I'm curious what music people play when they are working on these wonderful creations? When I brew beer I listen to old school rock (Zepplin, Floyd, Hendrix) and then some occasional Buffet and George Thoroughgood.

When working on Halloween stuff I tend to be a little more 90's Seattle scene rock.

What do you listen to?

No worry, this seems like the right place for it. It's a "grey area topic" so it could go either here or in the Halloween forum. :D

I play a lot of Type O Negative, Rob Zombie, White Zombie, Misfits, Calabrese and of course, Midnight Syndicate.

Oh yeah, and Danzig.

I like to listen to The Cramps, Social Distortion or anything rockabilly. Sometimes I rock out to Sublime or Public Enemy, Rage, The Clash etc...
I highly recommend "Cramps: Bad Music for Bad People" as music to prop by...
Good idea for a thread, Coonce!

There is actually a thread about this already in Off-Topic..

If this belongs here, and I agree it does, it means the Moderator for Off-Topic (Zombie..hehe) would have to merge that thread with this one..

When I build my props I usually listen to some type of rock, rap drives me crazy. If I had to choose a type of rock though its punk like - Anti-Flag, The Vandals, Pennywise, NOFX....etc, btw this is a great topic!

I work in my garage, where there's a lot of sawdust. Incidentally, the cd player on my radio died, so I have to listen to the radio. The local station of choice for me then plays rock from the 80's, like VH, Journey, Aerosmith. There's nothing like corpsifying a blucky to ACDC's Hell's Bells.

I don't listen to any music because the only time I get to build is when my kids are asleep. I'm usually in deep thought and wouldn't here the music anyway. I like rock, heavy metal, depends on my mood. I do like Pink Floyd, however I'm not sure I would build props to it.

I listen to Midnight Syndicate when working on some stuff, a CD of assorted Halloween sounds and music I made for other projects and then, when cleaning up the mess or rearranging the work shop, it would have to be Let's Groove by Earth Wind and Fire. I know, I know, not very Halloweeny but a great song to move and dance to...it gives me energy to get the cleaning up done that I need. Besides, I'm OLD and have never heard of most of the groups mentioned here! :D

I'll put on my DellDJ and listen to Disturbed, Tool, older Queensryche, Rush, Dream Theater.

[Technical Terror]

Can't believe noone builds to King Diamond!

I like to build to soundscapes from haunted houses. Kinda gets me in the mood, (for prop building that is).

[Fangs]

When I want to actually get something done fast it's: Disturbed, Queen of the Damned soundtrack, Rob Zombie. Just really depends on my mood and what I'm doing. :devil: :D

[Zombie-F]

I forgot to mention AFI and Gwar.

Since I throw a Halloween party every year and usually burn a custom soundtrack for the party, I tend to get the music for that done as early as possible and listen to the CD I burn it on while I'm finishing things up. It always has lots of Rob Zombie on it, but I like to keep a fairly wide variety of musical styles on it. I end up with everything from instrumental tracks from the Silent Hill games to the Ramones to the Munster's theme to Marilyn Manson. Anything that's got a good spooky vibe to it that I think people will like.

...And if I manage to get to work on Halloween a little early, it's last year's party soundtrack that's in the player.
