[VampDude]

Seraphim (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=56090332) - a cool Power Metal band from Taiwan, with a female vocalist (Quinn Weng (http://www.myspace.com/officialquinn)) who adds a cool symphony to the music. I recommend Seraphim more so than the others, because I love their 2004 album Ai - and Quinn's voice! :D

Shaolin Temple Of Boom (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=27420641)

[VampDude]

Yeah, ApocalypticA are a cool band. But I don't think they're to everyones taste, I currently downloaded 4 tracks of their new single (which is released n September) off their MySpace page when MySpace had an error 6 days ago! (I think the 4 tracks is the whole single) lol :p

[AvengedSevenfold Fan]

and before i heard them, i thought the cello was a stupid instrument.

[Man]

lamb of god
cannibal corpse
underoath
devil driver
the locust - pretty weird band
converge
Gwar

those bands are really really heavy, and mostly screamo/emo/whatever, im not to much concerned with labels/genres of music.

[JKKDARK]

Mötley Crüe
Skid Row
W.A.S.P.
Helloween
Vains Of Jenna
Metal Church
Crashdïet
Diamond Head
Snakeryder
Megadeth
Manowar
Krokus
Quiet Riot
Queensrÿche
Brides Of Destruction

[VampDude]

What they've done with the cello is the best thing that could ever be done with a classical instrument, no other band would probably even come close to what they do. When I discovered ApocalypticA and found that I liked them I promptly went and bought all the albums up to that date, and continued to do so which now I have 7 :p

Have you bought any of their stuff yet? :)

ive just been watching their videos on youtube.

The stuff on YouTube is ok for a while (it gets repeatative as theres too little to watch - though 49 search pages in total and most of which are duplicates), but you get more from the albums. Even if you download them all from an <unmentionable> you should listen to their albums, you will like them as much as the YouTube video's :)

[DarthPaul]

I really know a huge list of bands. I've been listening to rock since I was 10,now I'm 17,that's 7 years of hardcoreism! But I won't name all of them here,because you know who's the lazy guy from DCEmu..but if you don't know..it's me!

If you like Avenged Sevenfold,you should try Drist. They are very similar in my opinion.

I have 12 years over your listening experience, I've been listening to Rock/Metal for 19 years going on 20 in a few months! :D

[Bevvie]

I agree with you on the screamo crap.

I disagree on your disapproval on satanist topics in music. Does anybody honestly care about the message in music? I know I don't. It's music. It's supposed to be enjoyed for it's sound, not for it's subject.

[Mr. Shadow]

Not true Excruciation X, people often look at music for the spoken message but MOST people just listen to enjoy the sound.

As for my music i don't think you'll like it but hey try somthing new. ^_^

feindflug
clan of xymox
red cell
iambia

[ExcruciationX]

sorry for the double post. i do love linkin park and evanescense. both have a great rythem and amazing vocals
I hate them (unsuprisingly).

Something about their sound sound's corny to me.

[SnesR0X]

I really liked Linkin Parks first 2 albums, hate the new one though.

[ExcruciationX]

I'm a fan of older music. I thought I'd try to get hip with the young people, so I thought I'd listen to it. Didn't like it. It's like rock rap.

I've heard from people that their first two albums are "superior" to their successors, although it sounds the same to me.

Oh yeah, some more bands I missed:

Grateful Dead
Steppenwolf
The Beatles
Rare Earth
Boston
Chicago
Motley Crue
Twisted Sister

[souLLy]

I'd suggest some good bands but looking at the thread so far, I'm not sure it'd be to anyone's tastes...

[Anonymous D]

linkin park and evanesence are still in my library because i used to be into them, so i get them out ocasionally as memories of past times lol. im much more into heavier stuff now. like i used to be a big enter shikari fan, but since discovering hardcore metal i realise how bad they are compared.

[Mr. Shadow]

what would be your tastes? Mine are odd as well.:thumbup:

[AvengedSevenfold Fan]

this thread is about metal band suggestions.

[JKKDARK]

wow ExcruciationX, I didn't know you like Glam Metal :D

[Triv1um]

I really liked Linkin Parks first 2 albums, hate the new one though.

What?!
you mean hybrid theory and reanimation?!

or Hybrid theory and meteora? because meteora is the 3rd.

(i used to be a big fan)

[gdf]

I hate LP witha passion. Same goes for Korn. They suck (in a really, really bad way). Ex, you have good musical taste, you into Hendrix too? Maybe you can try something new asf? How about some Led Zep or Beatles?

Nirvana, QOTSA, Foo Fighters, The Clash, Muse, Biffy Clyro?

Punk/hardcore: Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, The Exploited, Gallows, Enter Shikari.

[Mr. Shadow]

Hybrid theory and meteora were the best albums they made. I need to get a hold of their newest one.

[gdf]

Or not, it got shocking reviews lol.

[SnesR0X]

I don't consider Reanimation a true album, so blah.

[JKKDARK]

Punk/hardcore: Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, The Exploited, Gallows, Enter Shikari.

The author thread said it was about bands under the Heavy Metal tag, not Alternative Rock/Punk Rock/etc

[gdf]

Yeah, I know, that's why I suggested he try something different, he may like it.

[JPJunkie]

Its always good to listen to something new as you never know you may like it

[souLLy]

Poison the Well

[JKKDARK]

Wow way to contradict yourself and the author also said no glam metal too.

steve520 = WHAT A LOSER!

Mötley Crüe is the only band from the list that had Glam Metal songs. Did you hear the album Generation Swine? and the first 2 albums? These albums are not Glam Metal.
Stop living under a rock, steve520. Learn please.

The other bands are only Heavy Metal and Sleaze Metal.

JKKDARK= Dumbass boy/girl

wow glam metal sucks ass espically motley crue with there girly looks same with quiet riot and poison and all those other suckish bands im glad the 90's killed most of them. thank god for a new era.

so screw you. go live under a rock because u dont even know the meaning of rock because you have been listening to that annoying shit all ur life.

little boy, that's totally off-topic really. You said the bands from the list I posted were Glam Metal, which is totally wrong.
Now everytime I see your name here, I will remember: "steve520, the kid who believes Megadeth is Glam Metal"
Please learn to read next time, everybody know most of the bands from the list.
And for you info, the image has nothing to do with the music. Most of the 70's/80's Hard Rock/Heavy Metal bands had long hair and leather. Is Black Sabbath Glam? No, image is not a genre.
little boy, It's time to use thew internet and find information about bands and music genres, because you have no idea.
Also if you didn't know, I also like 60's/70's Hard Rock, 70's Heavy Metal and 80's Pop, so don't tell me I listened only Glam Metal. I SAID IT MANY TIMES, but you don't know how to read.

[steve520]

alright so u named a few metal bands but most were glam metal now little boy/girl go find out ur sexuality and listen to real rock then maybe just maybe you can know what real music is.

I have to agree with JKK here, you're a dumbass

[Anonymous D]

since when does what gender/sexuality come into this? and glam metal is still metal, as well may i remind you, and a lot of newer metal bands have the same style.

edit: 3 votes that steve520 is a dumbass lol

[JKKDARK]

alright so u named a few metal bands but most were glam metal now little boy/girl go find out ur sexuality and listen to real rock then maybe just maybe you can know what real music is.

They are not Glam Metal, the only Glam Metal band on that list is Mötley Crüe. You should be really an ignorant if you put them in the same tag. You can't put Black Sabbath, Poison and Skid Row in the same sub-genre, they are totally different. Any idiot can see the difference.
Real rock? Good joke. You listen Alternative Rock, and their main influences are Punk Rock, so it's not real Rock. Real Rock should contains influences from the old Rock And Roll, who has these influences? The Hard Rock.

[Anonymous D]

Mötley Crüe
Helloween
Diamond Head
Megadeth
Manowar
Queensrÿche


lol he certianly doesnt know his music, i think anyone cud tell you megaderth werent glam, and as for manowar , theyre certainly not glam but theyre damm funny .


edit: backl on topic what does the thread poster think of our sugestions? heard any of em yet?

[JKKDARK]

Yeah, and years ago, Megadeth's singer called Glam Metal bands: Gay Los Angeles Metal (It shows how he hated this music genre, and obviously Megadeth would never do a tour with a Glam Metal band)

[steve520]

what u think i just listen to 90's rock. ha no i listen to old stuff to like the beatles, the stones, jimi hendrix, led zeppelin you know the good stuff before glam metal arrived.

[penileartery]

Reel Big Fish!!! haha ilove them

[pibs]

Ill just post a couple of good bands ive heard of

Rush
Kansas
Judas Priest
Iron Maiden
Iron Butterfly
Van Halen
Blue Cheer
Kamelot
Testament

[steve520]

i seen rush live great drummer. the solo was awesome.

[ExcruciationX]

Ex, you have good musical taste, you into Hendrix too? Maybe you can try something new asf? How about some Led Zep or Beatles?

Thank you.

Jimi Hendrix (in my opinion) was, and still is, trumped up (although he had one good song "Purple Haze").

Led Zeppelin is okay.

[gdf]

Jimi is teh boy!

Soully, those are some good bands you got there...Except somehow I don't think metal-heads will be into Bloc Party or The Cure lol! :p

[souLLy]

Their loss :p
I've never understood only listening to one genre or even sub-genre of music alone. You miss out on so much good stuff.

[gdf]

Good point, it's good to have varied taste. This morning I listened to some Boy Better Know, then Pantera, then QOTSA.

[Mr. Shadow]

alright so u named a few metal bands but most were glam metal now little boy/girl go find out ur sexuality and listen to real rock then maybe just maybe you can know what real music is.

You and JKKdark haven't listened to music until you listen to industrail. That will have your ear drums all over the walls.:rofl:

[sourced]

Yeah, ApocalypticA are a cool band. But I don't think they're to everyones taste, I currently downloaded 4 tracks of their new single (which is released n September) off their MySpace page when MySpace had an error 6 days ago! (I think the 4 tracks is the whole single) lol :p

DOWNLOAD? tsk tsk vamp. pirating is baaaad.

[VampDude]

DOWNLOAD? tsk tsk vamp. pirating is baaaad.

I only downloaded it because MySpace had an error (which is now fixed), but I actually buy all my music and I will be purchasing ApocalypticA's new single as soon as it's in HMV! :)

[AvengedSevenfold Fan]

i never pay to download music. i only pay for the real album, cuz thats what matters to me.

[VampDude]

i never pay to download music. i only pay for the real album, cuz thats what matters to me.

The only time that is ever good to pay to download something is if it's from an official band site and they offer bonus tracks as a download only promotion.

haha good work, I'm a wiley fan myself :)
