Do we have any old school fans here?
I think the last new bands that I've liked are Queens of the Stone Age and Foo Fighters...after them haven't found anything that's been worth listening.
I'm open to suggestions so let them come.
Most of the time I'm still stuck with the great bands of 70's & 80's,

I will have to agree Disturbed is another band I would classify as Octane rock. Sucks and is meant for guys that wear affliction shirts and chick jeans with crosses and rhinestones and shit,lol
I have satilite radio in the truck but plug in spotify instead.....lol. Disturbed had one good album and it was his first. Not too many nu metal bands worth a fuck tbh.
I actually have 3 months of free apple streaming right now and I think I will be canceling sirius and just pay 14.95 a month to have all of our devices live.
nice.
StevebLike the True Religion jeans and Ed Hardy clothes.
Bingo! I also detest the wannabe farmer/cowboys..
Classic!
Haha, awesome post! I briefly lived in a town full of those losers.
Haha that's pretty funny. Up my way, those guys infect the club scene and make cheap cologne in short supply. However, out where I live these guys are pumping fists all day n night to some house and deep trance BS, and wouldn't know who David Draiman was if he spit on their Gucci sunglasses.
We would be remiss to leave Rammstein off the list. That band is a trip..
They're putting a new album out.
StevebCool, so that means they will tour. I thought they broke up.

My sister has seen them a few times, including once in germany, she SWEARS by them. I'd check them out live for sure, I just have a hard time with music I can't understand without getting a Rosetta Stone lol
You may want to check out machine head. They come to the table with a different sound, longer songs, and are fairly heavy, but not over powering. Reminiscent of the 80s metal.
Some up and comers are:
Nothing More
Of Mice and Men
Like a Storm
Although admittedly these three aren't along the metal lines PER SE.
More favorites are:
Red, Avenged Sevenfold (check out their self titled album, about 10 years old but still awesome)
Five finger death punch, asking Alexandria (they just got a new singer, not sure how that's gonna work out but their newest single I won't give in is good), former lead singer of asking Alexandria's new band We are Harlot, Saint Asonia (former 3 days Grace singers new band), bullet for my valentine, motionless in white, avatar, pop evil, shinedown, slipknot, stone sour, hellyeah, halestorm, aranda, amaranthe, papa roach, in this moment, rise against, red sun rising....I could go on for weeks!
I remember when Machine Head started they got popular with their debut album but then something happened and somewhat vanished for a while...I was mostly into pre-machine head that was called vio-lence. After they changed their line up a bit and name I didn't like them so much anymore..they came too calculated for lack of a better word in their music for my taste. Mostly people though the other way gotta say that, I was pretty much alone with my opinion lol
I'll have to check vio-lense out, I honestly never heard of them.

Love this album!
That video is copyright protected, but I'm sure I can browse around and find some more which I will do tonight when I have some free time.
Don't know about that but it's open to view , I'm sure there's bigger crimes around to do :D..gotta check out later if Spotify carries their catalogue.
Can't delete that link anymore so if a mod can do it please in case I broke son rule here.
No I mean when I click thenlink, the player shows it as protected content. Idk why that is
I had never heard they were the early version of MH. I know the singer is different for sure.
I think it was more like one or two main song writers and I can't remember their names, quit and went to form Machine Head.
Not sure about that though, it was long time ago.
But I do remember that the guys in MH had to answer questions as to why vio-lence sucked and MD is so great by reporters.
Edit: Just checked out and it was only Robb Flynn. So I guess it calling it pre-MH was not that accurate.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vio-lence
phil demmel was also in vio-lence with rob flynn. Phil was actually the main songwriter for vio-lence, until they got rid of their original guitarist and brought flynn in, who was in the original incarnation of Forbidden. flynn later left viol-lence and formed formed machine head and phil came to the group after the original machine head guitarist left. Damn...i miss the days of going to the Stone in san francisco and seeing all these up and coming bay area bands.
You're memory is better than mine no doubt lol. I miss those days also, so many new exciting bands came from that area in short period of time.
check out battlecross, newer band from detroit i believe. Cant go wrong with trivium or shadows fall

Huge metal fan pantera was my favorite band back in the day but today my favorite band is five finger death punch. I love there music plus there huge supporters of are troops
http://m.youtube.com/?#/watch?v=o_l4Ab5FRwM
This is only one song of many about are troops. Seen them in concert and they stopped the show during a song bc a veteran was there with his kids he brought them up on stage and signed the guys jacket. Watch the video there a great band
http://m.youtube.com/?#/watch?v=ZLk75fFXqH4
This one is heAvier
I still remeber the night I seen cowboys from hell video on headbangers ball ........mind blown
Pantera was what we used to listen to partying me and my buddies but of course we listened to a lot more zombie,korn,slayer,sevendust,soulfly,sepulatura, and a bunch of the band's Tony posted already.
Soulfly is another great band. ....Korn for me was just kinda....eh I don't know hard to explain
Ace VenturaI love Soulfly. I liked Korn's first album until Jonathan Davis started talking.
Maybe that's what it is..lol....just never got into korn
Down, clutch,messhugga,pantera,king giant,kill devil hill, devil you know, killswitch engage,coal chamber, lamb of god, mastadon, the sword,machine head,MInistry, gotta have some classics megadeth, iron maiden, old metallica (pre black album)motor head. But when I'm feeling something fierce it's Poison unskinny bop on repeat
Edit: black label society I forgot to add....zakk Wylde is an animal live
I've had an English band called Asking Alexandria on repeat for months, mite be worth a try! little bit heavier than foo fighters tho.
Lot of bands I've never heard of, gotta check them out.
I do regularly listen to Rock\Metal radios and hear some of them newer bands but most of them do nothing for me.
I was right there when bands like Slayer, Exodus etc started, bought their first albums where nobody know anything about them. Later more on to even more extreme stuff, Morbid Angel, Deicide, Obituary etc.
Damn...now that I wrote them..,gotta listen some Obituary..shit is good.
Nothing beats some Slowly we rot album on a leg day!!!
Reign in Blood is also a regular in my rotation. That is one of the greatest metal albums of all time.
It truly is.
Up there in the best 10 of all time.
South of heaven was awesome also.
StevebSleep, Lard, Ministry, Witch US, Fugazi, Godflesh, S.O.D., Tool, Pailhead, Big Black, Naked Raygun, Shellac.
StevebIf you like Queens of the Stone Age you'll probably like Kyuss and Burning Brides. It's a lot of the same people writing or making their music.
I would add in The Sword along with Kyuss. And if you haven't ever dug into the COC catalog it is one of my personal favorites.
StevebJosh Homme was in Kyuss before he was the singer of Queens of The Stone Age. He also wrote music for the Burning Brides.
Seen the sword 3 times last year.....good stuff
The sword is the shit!
