That's really a good idea, I have discovered tons of great hard rock/metal over the last six months especially the European flavor. I will however draw the line at the death/black/doom metal, some of the music is OK, but when the growling starts up,,,I'm gone at that point.

Nah, just kidding, I'm glad that you all start recommending music now that I've made one, I love finding new music and I'll definently be taking advantage of all of these.

Aqualung · 07-13-2008, 07:36 PM

That was a weird video.

That's actually a pretty good band. I prefer my metal to be lighter like that. I really liked the vocals, too. Thanks for the recommend.

Yes I have another thread of recomendations, this one is on my favorite bass guitar players.

To start off, you know who.

Band Members: He is really the star of the band but he travels with different groups sometimes.

Recomended album: Palmystery

Recomended Songs: Miss U, and Flex.

Fun Fact: Victor Wooten used to play in the band, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, as their bassist.

Hero Of The Day · 07-16-2008, 05:36 AM
