The Rock Music Thread

[Guest]

Seeing as we have a dance music one, thought we could have a rock thread for you to post your favourites on.

One I've just heard that is growing on me is this:

Black Veil Brides - Fallen Angels - Youtube Click Here

[AberdeenSteve]

YI, I have just lost all respect for you

Black Veil Brides, no no no no no no no

[Adam D]

Another for you:

The Offspring - The Kids Aren't Alright (youtube)

A band I always liked but never bought an album from. I dont recall one single I didnt enjoy.....

[Guest]

Brilliant Hobo. Love it

[AberdeenSteve]

Is this just a general rock music thread or can I add something slightly heavier? I won't be posting Death Metal or anything

[Guest]

Anything goes Ste. This is rock baby!

[Davie]

So far all I see is a load of shoe-gazing indie bands. When does the proper rock start?

System Of A Down - Chop Suey - Youtube Click Here - Love it!

[asdral225]

Since You've Been Gone by Rainbow.
When you consider what Rainbow were capable of just after Ritchie left Deep Purple this was possibly one of their weaker songs, better songs Man on a Silver Mountain, Mistreated, Kill the King, Temple of the King, Catch the Rainbow, Stargazer, A Light in the Black, Tarot Woman, Run with the Wolf to name but a few.
Its about time Mr Blackmore got back to where he belongs and stopped playing pixie music

[Imperial Ghosty]

Some good choices recently on here, I will set the tone slightly heavier for now

Death- Zombie Ritual
Pagan Altar- Black Mass
Witchfinder General- Requiem For Youth
Cathedral- Ride
Carcass- Heartwork
MachineHead- Ten Ton Hammer
Down- Stone The Crow
Black Label Society- Blood Is Thicker Than Water

[AberdeenSteve]

I'm going for some of my heavier stuff to possibly open a few peoples eyes and a few more followers to the genres. Or I may have people thinking I am criminally insane


Bring Me The Horizon - Diamonds Aren't Forever

Bring Me The Horizon - Anthem

Yashin - Friends In High Places

Miss May I - Answers

Deftones - Bloody Cape

KoRn - Let The Guilt Go



Don't judge people ..

[Imperial Ghosty]

Bring me the Horizon, oh please say it's not so.

[AberdeenSteve]

You read correct, they kick ass.

[AberdeenSteve]

Here, a few mellow tunes and some of Scotland's finest;

Twin Atlantic - Free

Twin Atlantic - Lightspeed

Biffy Clyro - Boom, Blast and Ruin

Placebo - Nancy Boy

[AberdeenSteve]

I really did kill this thread ..

[dyrewolfe]

I had no idea Placebo were Scottish!

I'll post a few links later (at work at the moment)

[AberdeenSteve]

They aren't fully, but Brian Molko is half Scottish. I thought close enough

[dyrewolfe]

Really? I didn't know that.

Hmm. Jonathan Davies like to wear kilts and play the bagpipes, so maybe you could have Korn in there too.

[AberdeenSteve]

Yeah, he is half Scottish and half Luxembourgen?

I was actually thinking about putting the KoRN SONG Shoots And Ladders just because Davies plays the bag pipes at the start.

[dyrewolfe]

Its a catchy song!
haha

Have some of this instead:

Jimmy Eat World - The Middle - Youtube Click Here

Nice on YI! I've had this as my ringtone for about the last 6 years. Very useful when I'm in the office - I always know when its my phone that ringing!

[dyrewolfe]

Here's a few of my current faves.


Orphaned Land - Sapari
They're an Israeli metal band and sing in their native tongue, so unless you speak Hebrew it will make no sense, but its catchy as hell.


Alter Bridge - Before Tomorow Comes

And because its such an awesome song and they're such an awesome band, here's an acoustic version:

Alter Bridge - Before Tomorrow Comes (Acoustic)

Apocalyptica - I Don't Care
Featuring Adam Gontier of Three Days Grace on vocals.

ZZ Top - Doubleback

Shinedown - Second Chance

30 Seconds to Mars - Echelon

Soundgarden - Spoonman

Alice Cooper - Vengeance Is Mine

[dyrewolfe]

And just because its quite a funny vid, as well as a great song:

Megadeth - Hangar 18

[Geordie]

Check out Volbeat -brilliant band
Cross between Elvis Pressley , Johnny Cash and Metallica.

Listen to Sad mans Tongue and their album Guitar Gangsters and cadliac blood

[AberdeenSteve]

Exit Ten - Technically Alive

Cancer Bats - Sabotage (Brilliant video too)

Serj Tankian - Sky Is Over

[Cari]

I don't listen to metal rock much these days, although I was really into it at one time and still have some classic albums in my possession. Both of my brothers are in musicians and were in metal bands - the youngest one still is.

[AberdeenSteve]

Any Trivium fans on here?

Their new album 'In Waves' is sensational.

[dyrewolfe]

I've got their Crusade album.

Love tracks like Detonation, Tread the Floods, Anthem (We Are the Fire) and This World Can't Tear Us Apart.

Was looking forward to the follow-up Shogun but they decided to get more shouty, so I passed.

[dyrewolfe]

Here's another gem I unearthed a few years back.

Rattlesnake Remedy - Magic Man

[AberdeenSteve]

I've got their Crusade album.

Love tracks like Detonation, Tread the Floods, Anthem (We Are the Fire) and This World Can't Tear Us Apart.

Was looking forward to the follow-up Shogun but they decided to get more shouty, so I passed.

I definitely think you'd enjoy In Waves then mate. They do have the few tracks on the album where they shout but that is just Trivium. I'll post a link to one of my favourites below;

Trivium - Watch The World Burn

[dyrewolfe]

Cor blimey! That was...er...AWESOME!

Just added it to my favourites - thanks.

[AberdeenSteve]

Glad you enjoyed it mate; the entire album is much and such the same sort of sound. I have had it on loop all day, tremendous!

[Adam D]

Can I ask when did Rock stop becoming Rock?

We dont get big hair and tassles anymore. Its all emo guff.

Gimme me Europe anyday.

[AberdeenSteve]

What do you see as 'emo guff'?

[Adam D]

I am tired and couldnt think of a different catch all!

Of course its not all emo guff but there doesnt seem to be any proper old school classic rock bands anymore.

[AberdeenSteve]

I know what you mean, you don't seem to get an in between sort of band. It is either Heavy Metal or Indie Rock.

That is what nostalgia is for my friend ..

[Adam D]

I remember when nostalgia was good.......

[dyrewolfe]

@Hobo:

I dunno if you're aware but there's been an "old skool" rock revival underway the last few years.

Bands like Heaven's Basement, Stone Gods (before The Darkness reformed), Rattlesnake Remedy, Airbourne and many others have been bringing good time rock 'n' roll back for us old(er) timers.

If its big hair and spandex you love, you can't go far wrong with Steel Panther. The songs are definitely tongue in cheek but musically they're the real deal.

"Proper" rock music has never gone away...just been overshadowed by what the music press reckon is the latest trend.

And of course, the actual old schoolers have never gone away either. I saw Europe play at Sonisphere only last year, along with Motley Crue. Other acts like Alice Cooper, AC/DC and Def Leppard are still very much alive and kicking.

I'd say you just haven't been looking in the right places.

Try this for starters:

Silvertide - Ain't Coming Home
Sadly they broke up a while back (got screwed by the record company they signed to) but they're a great example of whats out there.

Good choice.

Kenny - I was really into 1980s "poodle" rock when I was a kid. There's some classic albums from some bands though....and some awful ones. I've still got albums by Skid Row, Phantom Blue, Bon Jovi, Cinderella, Poison...etc

[Luckless Pedestrian]

I remember 'Unskinny Bop' by Poison, my sister had the Flesh & Blood album. The lyric on that song is filthy: "like gasoline you wanna pump me / and leave me when you get your fill."
