The Rock Thread

goign back to what i said earlier, i am into my gothic metal, ie Sentenced and Poisonblack. Sentenced has to be the best with the lyrical content but Poisonblack is where Ville exploits his vocals more. Also, Poisonblack's lat album has a more bluesy feel then the others.

Example

Blood and Tears by Sentenced

Rush by Poisonblack

Of course, there are more wonderful songs, but i am limited to two. Damn!

Poisonblack! They sound a lot like a cross between fellow Finnish band, "H.I.M" (which are pretty good, and I recommend you checking out!), and Marilyn Manson. Very very good song you posted up! "Get-into-able" I reckon

Smashing Pumpkins are a quality band, and if you know the Transformers soundtrack you'll know this one!

And I love me a bit of Viking Metal as well Stýrisvølurin by Týr is probably the best song.

Poisonblack is from Finland so that may help understand the likeliness . Smashing Pumpkins, you can't hate 'em. Another awesome band is Alter Bridge, Creed instrumentals but with a new singer, you can say the lead is better since he got some lessons in between when Creed split and AB's birth.

Examples:

Alter Bridge - Metalingus (hard rock, if you watch/watched wrestling Edge's song (or am i the only one ))

Alter Bridge - Rise Today

Other brilliant songs have to be Watch Over You, Ties that bind, Broken Wings, endless for me. It's that vocal range which Myles Kennedy has that makes them so different, and with the lyrics it is just a deadly mix. Well for my ears it is.

Rise Today is fucking awesome man! Dude you seriously have my taste! Definitely! :goodpost:

It's that kind of stuff I like as well, you know it having plenty of good vocals and I can tolerate a bit of screamo but not too much...

Few more here to tickle your lugholes Rob Zombie is a really good artist, Superbeast is one of my favourites but there are so many good ones out there.

And yet another Swedish metal band (Soilwork being the other Swedish band) with this song that's really catchy, Bullet Ride

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Love Rob Zombie, mixed on his latest album though, but his older stuff is a real gem. Going back to Ra for one sentence (), you should definitely try to get there first album if you like 'Sky', the album doesn't have one bad song on it. The mixture of eastern influences and the amazing guitar riffs make it the perfect pudding with Sahaj's voice as the cherry on top, but that cherry has chocoltae sauce on it. Fucking lovely!

One song i am talking about mostly is 'On My Side' which, i believe, if was released over here would get so much radio play it could top the chart or top ten at least.

Example:

Ra- On My Side

The fucking chorous is sung so smoothly, it is annoyingly good.

Another band which has a little kick of scream is Five Finger Death Punch. Yes they are heavy metal, but that doesn't mean the lead singer is like the rest of the 'bangers' on the scene. The Bleeding was their best song, but i think another is their cover version of Bad Company. Of course i am limited to posting two songs per reply, so i choose to post 'Walk Away' which is, if not, their best song on the second album. Of course i haven't got the deluxe version where there is meant to be another solid song, so this would have to do .

Example:

Five Finger Death Punch - Walk Away

Tell us what ya think And i'll try and dig up some more bands i have.

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Just found this version of Jeff Buckley's version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah sung by Myles Kennedy of Alter Bridge. This shows how fucking awesome his vocals are, and the way he sings it makes you want to cry (it did me anyway :|).

I'll try to update for some more if you want CJ

That's actually not a bad version of the song, sings it very well I reckon!

I'll try kicking this thread off again with this song by Soilwork, called "Crestfallen". Awesome tune!

If you want some quality metal, Marilyn Manson is where to get it.

Anyone into Radiohead? Absolutely love the albums Kid A and OK Computer... same can't be said about their more recent stuff though.

Love this performance, love this song.

[Steve 10,227]

One band i can never get enough of, by far my favorite band:

[Steve 10,227]

Saw Volta live in January blew my mind:

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Mars Volta are a top band live, not the biggest fan of their's but they know how to rock.

[Steve 10,227]

I was actually very disappointed with there latest album but you have to appreciate what they have tried to do with it. None of there albums will come close to Deloused in the Comatorium.

Also mate if you love you music. Give Coheed and Cambria a listen too. Musically they are a very talented band. But not everyone likes them on first listen. Give them a few and they will blow your mind
