Anyone like 18 Visions(except for new stuff ), hatebreed, glassjaw, meshuggah, dillinger escape plan, older posion the well?

Hey brother, you've got some good taste with those last two. I bought Dillinger'* last album, and that stuff is very complex. It takes many listens to fully absorb everything. Very cool musically, but I don't know much of their lyrical content. I thought I heard them singing about "your God is already dead" or something along those lines, which I wouldn't agree with. But like I said, I really dig their music. My roommate is big into Poison the Well, he has their first and second CDs (or is that all they've released?), and I really like "You Come Before You." Complex rhythmic ideas and very interesting combinations of chord progression and melody.

I'll throw a few more names out there: The Mars Volta (or their previous incarnation At the Drive-in), Clutch, Rage Against the Machine, Grammatrain, Elton John, Candiria, Botch, Less than Jake, Catch 22, Alkaline Trio, the list could go on and on!

Yeah dilinger is just insane. I like it cause i just have n oidea what'* goin on.
And older posion the well is no joke, thier new album is popy and easy to get tired of.

Elton John - hard rock/metal?

I'm just messin with ya.
lol

Oh yeah and the at the drive in cd is in my car cd player right now.

Lol, yeah I forgot the name of this thread was "Metal/Hard Rock." My bad.

Nice to see someone with similar tastes... you like complex music that makes you think a little bit, and you keep your car boost-free. Good form. You should definitely check out The Mars Volta if you haven't already. It'* At the Drive-In on a whole new level. Same singer and some of the same musicians. If you want to hear the other half of the former At the Drive-In, check out Sparta. But I think you'll agree that The Mars Volta is above and beyond most bands in contemporary music. They even got Flea from the Chili Peppers to play bass for the album. You might need to listen to the CD 10 times before you "get" it. I know I did. Warning to others who read this post: you might check out a Mars Volta song and think it sucks. It'* definitely not for everyone.

Sorry for the lengthy discourse. Carry on.

EDIT: Oh yeah. I forgot to mention Deftones in my first post. They've changed direction recently, but the opening riff to "My Own Summer" will go down as one of the best in the history of metal. If you haven't heard it, by all means find a copy and listen to it!

Holy scheit!
Deftones. Hell yeah. I've been a fan for such a long time.

Yeah i checked out Sparta and The Mars Volta a while back. There pretty good too.

nice taste!

Wow you guys rock! Here are most of my bands:
Fear Factory, Chimaira, Slipknot, Killswitch Engage, Theatre of Tragedy, Demon Hunter, Pantera/Damage Plan, Hatebreed, Sepultura, Lollipop Lust Kill, Nothingface, Korn (lol). Yea I guess mostly Nu-Metal stuff but I like it and it keeps me goin on the road. Oh and Cradle of Filth is waaay too satanic for me.

OK ........here'* prt of the list:

Ted Nugent
Black Sabbath
Judas Priest
Queensryche
Pink Floyd (Delicate Sound of Thunder rulez)
Led Zepplin
Jimi Hendrix
Rare Earth
Scorpions

and the list goes on and on and on..............

Oh noes! Dime Bag Darrel murdered!

i'm a big fan of early 80'* thrash like slayer, exodus, early metallica, megadeth, and so on. i also like iron maiden and judas priest and black sabbath. motorhead is also one of my favorits

i can't believe that dime is dead
