Members Locke Posted September 13, 2005 Members Share Posted September 13, 2005 Heard Buckethead's new album Cuckoo Clocks From Hell? It's got Brain on drums, pretty good stuff if you like shred. There's no vocals though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members B Money Posted September 14, 2005 Members Share Posted September 14, 2005 sounds to me like your looking for some good old fashioned "cock rock". Sorry to tell you that style of music is about as out of fashion as Zoot Suits and berets. I'm sure there are some currrent bands out there still playing guitars 80's style, but I haven't heard 'em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me if I got this right: Cock Rock = 70's hard rock Butt Rock = 80's hair metal Is that right? Also, I'd have to say (aside from their campy glam vocal antics) that The Darkness fits the description fairly well. They have great hook-driven guitar tunes.

Members joemx Posted September 14, 2005 Author Members Share Posted September 14, 2005 Heard some good stuff here.. Buckethead and dream theater are pretty cool.. If your worried about style then just keep following everyone like who do, and when something becomes popluar you can pretend to like it again, since everyone else does... Your probably a red socks fan, now huh? (no offense to real fans from boston) Can stand the darkness.. Way too cheeseball... Im really looking for any bands that actually play there instruments.. and play them well.. while there's a place for 3 chord songs, and over produced synthetic sampled music, there's also 1000s of bands that do it.. Just seems like the days of real musicians has kinda past, and itll come back again.. and b money will be at the back of the line waiting to ge it to watch.... Cheers.. cant find some of the music above.. Im using napster as my music source.. Keep suggestions coming.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Locke Posted September 14, 2005 Members Share Posted September 14, 2005 How could I forget one of my faves:Helmet!Especially the older stuff like the albums Strap It On and Born Annoying. Betty is a decent disc as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members B Money Posted September 15, 2005 Members Share Posted September 15, 2005 .. and b money will be at the back of the line waiting to ge it to watch.... i think you misunderstood my post. I am a big fan of guitar based rock music, I miss it terribly. I wish it were still in fashion, but sadly, it is not and hasn't been for a long time now. You might want to check out a band called "Silvertide", they sound like a blend of Black Crowes and AC/DC (sort of). Velvet Revolver has some good stuff going on too. Big Wreck was a incredible band from a few years ago that had some great guitar playing.Of course, don't miss the new King's X CD coming out later this month. That's essential and goes without saying. And then there is MY band, BACON LIPS. If your ever in the tri-county area, look us up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fretburner87 Posted September 15, 2005 Members Share Posted September 15, 2005 Steve Morse is good. Testament, Megadeth, Pantera (you probably already listen to them).All swedish metal from the early nineties.Eric Johnson is very good if he's not singing.Nevermore has two incredible guitar players in Jeff Loomis and Steve Smyth.You should check out these bands if you haven't heard them; they have tremendous guitar players.

I know it hasn't but, I think it really could make a come back.. It'd need to be different.. but there's definitely room for a good harder edge rock (not super thrash like what ozzfest has become) (not current day pop/metal), but something with some soul and a harder edge with some good guitar shred.. LOL! Anyhow... Ill check some of those bands out.. joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Inazone Posted September 15, 2005 Members Share Posted September 15, 2005 Have you listened to Bruce Dickinson's past few solo albums, or Halford? Painmuseum? Just shooting some ideas out there if you like the "traditional" metal style with less cheese. Soilwork is one of the Swedish bands that has drifted away from the death metal sound quite a bit, for better or for worse, dropping the growled vocals for the most part. Definitely some good guitar chops to be found there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ibobunot Posted September 16, 2005 Members Share Posted September 16, 2005 Jimmy Herring Shane Theriot Robben Ford Greg Koch Danko Jones Drive-By Truckers Gov't Mule Los Lobos The Black Keys Sonny Landreth Jim Campilongo Richard Thompson Grady Most of these bands are on the bluesy side of rock. That might not be what your looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members uitar9 Posted September 17, 2005 Members Share Posted September 17, 2005 I ditto Gov't Mule. Warren Haynes has his s--- together. Then there is Opeth's Mikael Akerfeldt (Spelling) the guy is amazing. There is a slight difference in the two genre's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members garyd Posted September 17, 2005 Members Share Posted September 17, 2005 The Darkness kick ass, and I have no shame in saying that. I think part of the point is that it's OTT and that the band doesn't take themselves very seriously, but the guitar work and songwriting is superb. Always fun to bust out some of their stuff when jamming at home or with the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dughaze Posted September 18, 2005 Members Share Posted September 18, 2005 Some of my favorites now are Dream Theater, Alter Bridge, Steve Vai, Porcupine Tree, and Marillion, though Marillion and Porcupine Tree are mellower stuff. Deep Purple, Michael Schenker, Cinderella, Lynyrd Skynyrd and some of those older bands are always good to see when they decide to tour sometimes. A lot of the newer stuff is just to dark and chaotic for me but I'm a lot older than most people around here so that's to be expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
