Projected Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Seriously. I'm going through today bands I still haven't got to chance to know, and every fucking thing is this pussy shitfaced crap Indie with 20-something college boys singing with their piss poor emotional voices and stupid clean power chords played on a Telecaster.Arctic Monkeys, The Kooks, Modest Mouse, Franz Ferdinand, Destroyer, The Hold Steady... etc.SHIT!!!!Are there any bands today (except for the obvious ones like Def Leppard, VR, Muse - Who suck ass, by the way) that kick you in the face with real Hard Rock?Help me out here.

Calm Like A Bomb Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Three words, FOO - FUCKIN' - FIGHTERS. You can argue against it all you like but these guys are the best hard rock act out there, who else can fill Wembley Stadium two nights in a row.

Projected Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) Killers are quite nice, but I can't listen to them for more than three songs in a row. Very tiresome.Didn't like the Libertines, will check out Bloc Party.Oh, just remembered another over-hyped shit band - Biffy Clyro.EDIT: Foo Fighters lost me a long time ago. They ran out of ideas. Their material is really tiresome, like The Killers. Edited July 18, 2008 by Projected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyDeeds Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) I'll say it again like I do every other time this comes up.www.myspace.com/medusastone HereEvery song of their's is good, but for what you want, I suggest Loaded Gun. All of their songs are good hard rockers though.www.myspace.com/americanminor HereAll songs good.And I agree with you. Hard rock is pretty much dead. Hard rock is the best. I know what I like, and what I like is hard rock. It's what really gets me off, and it's really hard to find now, except with the aging acts.

BrandNewCadillac Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 To be honest, I don't really think there's any bands that are like that today. I find acts like Buckcherry and Avenged Sevenfold to be below average bands, who only have popularity because they are the "best" on the market currently. What I mean is, there's nothing original being produced. Take a look at Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, the Stones, Deep Purple, etc ... all bands under the same genre, but produced music that was very good quality, but, most importantly, they had their own sound. I believe that Guns N' Roses or Oasis were the last of these artists. This is the main problem today. Most of the Hard Rock bands nowadays sound the exact same and it's boring. Then there's the dated sound of Motley Crue, Sebastian Bach and others, which doesn't help either. Even AC/DC have become parodies of themselves.This is why I quite like what Muse are doing. I'm a huge Muse fan. They do use elements of Hard Rock in their music (Just take a listen to something like "Citizen Erased", "Hysteria", "Knights of Cydonia", "Muscle Museum" or "Plug In Baby" for examples of this), but they've progressed the overall sound. It's modern, it's fresh. If more artists did something different, then we'd have more of a Hard Rock scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Projected Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 Muse are just too... Heavy. Not like as in Heavy Metal... Their music is just heavy on my mind, everytime I listen to them is like a 500kg weight is pressing my mind. It's driving me crazy. Can't find anything refreshing about that.Checked both Madusa and American Minor. Too Buckcherry for me. The American Minor guitarist does a hell of a job, but the sound overall is just... Meh... Not anything special. Vocals are a huge turn off, too.Come on, amaze me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDeeds Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Too Buckcherry? I really don't get that out of it, but alright. I loved the vocals in American Minor. I think it sounds like what Alice Cooper would sound like if he sang Southern rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Projected Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 Don't mind the theme, just the vocals + general sound is like... getting boring after a song or too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sandman Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Hard Rock/Metal - fine line...But I may as well thrown in Staind and Disturbed, just as a headsup - but you'll probably say no.I totally agree on the Muse front though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
