Shinedown is my current favorite, with 3 days grace at number 2

great rock music, good emotions
Shinedown-something for every mood, triumph to sorrow
3 days grace- mostly angry, drown is my fav'rite

i highly reccommend them both

If you want really good stuff, you can't limit yourself to what's still new. Don't forget Guns and Roses, ACDC, Led Zeppelin etc.

That stuffs the best BW, I wouldn't leave it out.  I have all of those cds.  I got Chevelle's new cd, but I haven't had the chance to listen to it.

Master of puppets is an awesome album

meh they are fun.

I wouldnt have considered them to fit in this catagory but someone said Greenday so I figured... *shrug*

Would - Alice in Chains, listened to that song for the first time in about,3 years, the other day, it still is one of the best songs I've ever heard

Phreak: I got the new 3 Inches of Blood album (Advance and Vanquish). It's hilarious.

MicroPsycho: Rhapsody? Good grief. They aren't particularly unusual, they're a bastion of european Power Metal. Most of their stuff is unrelentingly ****e, but they do the ocasional good song. Can't say the same for ManoWar, though (shudders)... There's a lot of euro-power about, but most of it's dreadful. Sonata Arctica are probably the best one around. I'm not a huge fan, but they're pretty good.

Oh, and try these out:

Grand Magus - Monument (megalithic doom riffing, great vocalist)

Goatsnake - I / Dog Days EP reissue on SouthernLord records (more doom, very Sabbath-esque, massive bottom end sound courtesy of Greg Anderson's Sunn-powered guitar. Groooooovy...)

Dragonforce - Valley of the Damned, Sonic Firestorm (hyperspeed power metal. Daft, and you'll either love it or hate it, but it's worth a go. A lot of this is played at black metal speeds...)

Also, some peeps might want to try and find the Demons And Wizards album (self-titled). It's basically Hansi Kursch from Blind Guardian (a pretty good, though strange power metal band) and Jon Schaffer from Iced Earth. They're good friends, and they did this album together. Good stuff, and apparently a second one is in the pipeline for this year, so keep 'em peeled...

POISON!!!!

**runs fast**

[phreak]

on that note, i'd like to ask Bret Michaels what the hell an unskinny-bop is

pyro: I thought the same thing about Deadly Sinners when i first heard it.  Its like rob halford got kicked in the balls.

Actually, Poison did one song called 'Something to believe in' which, whilst still very...ummmmm 'Poisony' was actually quite acceptable compared to everything else

[pyro-manic]

Heheh.

In music news, there was something rather tasty in the charts this week, as Iron Maiden hit number 3 (!!!) with a re-release of their 1982 hit "Number of the Beast" on Sunday :thepimp:. They were beaten only by some Elvis remix and a Pop Idol (or something like it) twat called Steve Brookstein ( ). Anyone who hasn't sampled this fantastic band would do well to go and buy the single (or better still the album), as this'll be easy to find for the next week or so. Bloody awesome song, and one of my all-time favourites.
