RIYL Alter Bridge, Shinedown

 

That's Wolfgang Van Halen.

 

I completely forgot to post this because I been really busy but the new Mammoth album is awesome!! What a run Wolfgang is on at the moment, these songs r gonna sound massive live!!

 

Cold are doing a small tour now in City Winery with reimagined versions of some of their songs. They mentioned that there will be some deep cuts in the set but somehow they managed to put some of my all time favorite Cold songs on there, stuff they haven't played in ages. I'm seeing this on Sunday.

Glad they took from all of their albums, and getting Swan involved is ultra cool.

Also, EDISUN?? Obi-Wan meme moment.

 

SEVENDUST Completes Recording 15th Studio Album

YOU LEFT ME WITH NO CHOICE I'M COMIN
WATCH HOW I BLOW THROUGH YOU

 

I will. Most consistent band that ever consisted.

 

Their latest one was solid. I have faith in this one (I guess Clint too)

 

WITH OUR FAITH, WE'LL GO ON TILL IT'S OVER

 

New albums just released from Revis, Finger Eleven and Armchair Cynics (old recordings)

 

We be feastin'.

 

The new Finger Eleven album has a Filter feature. Pretty cool.

 

It's also mildly ironic since they were both on Wind-Up before the label went under and they're only now doing a collab.

 

Overall, the album was pretty good. I believe the band sounds the best when they are going full throttle and this album only has a handful of those tracks. The Mountain is my favorite track.

 

Yeah, The Mountain slaps. Perfect Effigy was pretty good too.

I don't get why they had to include a version of Blue Sky without Patrick though. Seems unnecessary.

 

After replaying 10 Years, liking Finger Eleven's new album, catching up on Nickelback's post-All The Right Reasons material, and now revisiting Alter Bridge (in case I manage to see them with Sevendust next year) and Seether...

I'm ready to finally fix all my blind spots in post-grunge/hard rock. I don't know where to start. Pretty sure I've never listened to a Creed, Three Days Grace, 3 Doors Down, Puddle Of Mudd or Hurt album so I'll probably start with these obvious picks. Don't remember the last time I've put on Breaking Benjamin and Skillet as well... does anyone have a masterlist lol

(now that I'm thinking about it deeper, many names I briefly gave a listen a long time ago are coming back to mind such as Black Stone Cherry or After Midnight Project... also sad that as I write this, I can't think of any bands with frontwomen other than The Pretty Reckless)

 

Are Adema and Taproot closer to nu-metal? Never really listened to both. I could've probably made the same post for the nu-metal thread lol. Lots of acts I've never checked out.

 

First, excited for you. And yes, Adema and Taproot are in the nu-metal/alt-metal camp.

 

Hurt is incredible and I feel fortunate I was able to see them live. I would also like to recommend Sinch and 8Stops7, as well as Sick Puppies.

As for frontwomen, there's Halestorm, of course. Plush has been making a name for themselves lately too.

 

Oh, also Citizen Soldier has been especially prolific.

 

Does TRUSTcompany fit the bill?

 

Taking notes of all the names, it's going to take me a while to get through everything lol. Thanks so much!!

 

Should also take the time to check out some of the 90s classics like Bush, Fuel, Collective Soul.

 

Check out my friend's band See This Through.

Also, there are some bands with deep discographies like Cold that you can always go deeper in. One of my favorite bands is Biffy Clyro and I always find mew stuff they have out that I've never heard before.
