[NightHawkRMX]

Their last album from ~2018 was ok, but didn't feel as heavy as I was used to from them.

But now it appears Volbeat is back at it with more heavy songs.

Really excited for the full album launching December 3rd this year.

For a debut album, this whole album is great. This is a good song from the album though.

I've been on a massive Devin Townsend kick for the last year or so!

 

[Metal Messiah.]

Sebastian BACH- One of the best Hard Rock vocalist of all time. Miss the good old days when GLAM Metal, and HAIR metal bands were so popular in the music 'hard rock' scene/genre.

SKID ROW was among them, alongside bands like WARRANT, WINGER, EZO, KIX, RATT, TRIXTER, L.A. GUNS, MOTLEY Crue, Cinderella, Crimson Glory, Dangerous Toys, Faster Pussycat, BEAU NASTY, House of Lords, Britny Fox, Tyketto, Danger Danger, Heaven's Edge, Steelheart, POISON, TESLA, Bad English, VIXEN, and few other major acts !

Devin Townsend is interesting. His vocal style is very unique, like the beginning vocals to kingdom. I have been listening to him a bit recently.

Skid row is also solid.

WINGER band ! REB BEACH was one of the best melodic solo lead and rhythm guitarist ! MILES AWAY and Madalaine songs were a testimony to this. He then joined Whitesnake band, and is currently with DAVID COVERDALE for his albums !

MILES AWAY is the love ballad which is my most fav track from Winger band. This is the only song which I have been listening each and every day since past 7-8 years without fail, or even more (regardless of any music genre). I play this track on my device each day. Also have the original CD as well, but I ripped and converted the whole album into MP3 and FLAC format.

Just love this song, since it has a very strong "emotional" bond connected to my past and inner self/soul !

Warrant got a bad reputation for being the "cherry pie band" but they honestly have some good music people overlook because of that.

 

[NightHawkRMX]

I think Heaven is my favorite song by Warrant

I think Heaven is my favorite song by Warrant

Actually, when the lead vocalist JANI LANE of Warrant band died due to alcohol overdose in 2011, this HEAVEN song was aired as a tribute to him and his contributions to the Glam Metal scene. In fact Warrant themselves played the song on several live occasions, but obviously they hired a local singer.

Many indie bands were also involved in this Tribute to Jani Lane !

Reminds me of the LED ZEPPELIN band ! These guys are talented though, no doubt on this.

 

[Metal Messiah.]

repeat.... This one is a pretty good extreme METAL band from Liverpool, England. CARCASS. Genre: Grindcore (early circa); Melodic/Brutal Death Metal (later years).

Just in case for those who don't know, Carcass is considered to be the MAJOR inspiration and musical foundation for most deathgrind/goregrind/brutal Death Metal bands, as well as being one of the founding *fathers of MELODIC death metal *when they had switched their genre to the melodic death metal sound by the early '90s.

Pretty Heavy and Brutal 'Head banging' sound ! This band is very unique. The musicianship is also excellent. Love this band like anything ! Obviosuly, not everyone's cup of tea though.

I've been listening to lots of classic rock such as Elton John, The Who, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, etc., and mostly music from BNL (Not sure if I can actually post their spelled-out name on here) - Good Boy Live in New York - YouTube and even though they play modern genres, and not old enough to be classic rock, they are my favorite band.

 

[Unolocogringo]

another semi new band from across the pond you guys should check out.

More of Skid Row. This one is an Epic ballad, and has a very strong lyrical theme/message as well.

I had to do a slow blink when I read this, because I missed it initially... I remember back at a job I worked in the mid-90s, I made some reference to EZO and the manager I worked with was like "Wait, you know EZO??"

"Well, I have one album..."

"Then I'm not crazy! SOMEONE ELSE HAS HEARD OF EZO BESIDES ME!!"

(and within the past year, I found out that they'd previously been called Flatbacker)

Then at another point, Steelheart? I only found out about them in maybe 1996 I think, when I discovered a website that someone had put together where he put samples of metal songs he liked, wrote a little about the bands, etc. Of course, being when it was, and the lack of broadband available to the vast majority of homes, they were in RealAudio format.

And now I find myself saying "Holy crap, someone else has heard of Steelheart??!" Uh, yeah, again, a single album I have, but still...

That's awesome to hear man ! Haha ! I'm glad someone else also heard about EZO, Steelheart, and few other old bands. EZO was a pretty good band at that time though, along with another Japanese band called LOUDNESS ! This was a gem of a Heavy Metal band. There are even more artists I didn't mention in my original post, like e.g. Twisted Sister.

Btw, Ezo moved to the U.S. in an attempt to gain success overseas. They were discovered by Gene Simmons of KISS band fame who produced their self-titled American debut in 1987.

Ezo were the second Japanese metal band behind Loudness to chart on the Billboard 200 and did so reaching #150. During this time they also toured America in support of hard rock band Guns N' Roses/Axl Rose. After the release of Fire Fire album in 1989, "Geffen Records" dropped them and the band broke up shortly after. Vocalist Masaki Yamada went on to play in Loudness and Hirotsugu Homma also joined Loudness and later joined Anthem.

Actually, when it comes to Loudness band, they even hired Michael Vescera as the vocalist for their album Soldier of Fortune ! Michael Vescera has also worked with YNGWIE Malmsteen and did vocals for few of his albums. Here's one powerful LOVE ballad I often listen when I'm feeling emotional and depressed. Pretty solid vocalist.

In fact the MAGNUM OPUS is my favorite album from Yngwie Malmsteen. Yngwie has been been idol/mentor since my early teen days.

Anyways, my fav song from this artist.

Still think Trivium has some of the best guitar work of any modern band, granted this is one of there songs from awhile ago.

 

[Metal Messiah.]

Does anyone here like this Artist, Phil Collins ? A touch of POP, Soft Rock and Jazz/funk genres. Some of his songs are pretty good though, despite me not being his die-hard fan. Highly talented artist nonetheless.

[Unolocogringo]

He has a few songs I like but most do not appeal to my senses. A little too "POP" or "Disco" for me.
Same as a lot of other bands. They may have a few songs I like ,but most of their stuff I do not care for.

Same here. Actually, even I'm not into POP/funk and other similar genres. Just like some of the select songs from Phil Collins, and few other bands like ABBA, George Michael/Wham, since my sister used to play their tracks early in the morning to disturb my sleep, LOL !

It's gotten inside my head, sort of. But as a Musician myself, I do appreciate and praise those artists who are highly talented or popular, be it any genre. But can't live another day without listening to METAL and ROCK. Amen.
