Music Suggestions for me!

[MERRYKISSMASS2U]

I am so sick of Van Halen, Megadeth, Queensryche, Pantera, etc.... I have been literally playing the shit out of these bands. I'd like to find some new bands to discover. Would anyone recommend me some good shit? I love DLR and VH, and I really hate screaming vocals. A good singer is a must (Megadeth being an exception). I also would like fast guitars. Cheesiness fucking turns me off too. I would also like lyrics to be somewhat intricate and/or unexpected.

I'd love to hear what you guys love so I can refresh my music collection!

same fucking songs over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over


I NEED NEW MUSIC.

How about some Nu-metal bands? With low tuned guitars, some screaming/grunting vocals plus maybe some rap thrown in ! Sounds like crap! So whaddya say? Nu-metal!

Savatage, ca. 1983 to 1993.

"Sirens" (1983)
"The Dungeons Are Calling" (1984)
"Hall of the Mountain King" (1987)
"Gutter Ballet" (1989)
"Edge of Thorns" (1993)

There's a little cheese throughout those, but Criss Oliva (guitar) was the perfect blend of Edward Van Halen and Randy Rhoads...he was a complete genius...Jon Oliva is a bit of a screamer, but he won't be heard at all on "Edge of Thorns" (Zak Stevens took over vocals then)...

Try downloading these songs first...these will give you an idea...

"Sirens"
"On the Run"
"The Dungeons Are Calling"
"The Whip"
"City Beneath the Surface"
"Hall of the Mountain King"
"Strange Wings"
"Gutter Ballet"
"When the Crowds Are Gone"
"She's in Love"
"Edge of Thorns"
"All That I Bleed"
"Sleep"

Then get back to me.

Ok I'll try em... when I say "scream" I mean anything Cannibal corpse or emo-screamo.

If you like Megadeth, get:

Diamond Head "The White Album"

The best of the NWOBHM.

Dave Mustaine rates that album as one of the most influential on him and Metallica.

It`s the most under-rated album of all time.

Cool beans!

Jon (the vocalist) was asked to join Sabbath in the mid 80s...Criss (his brother, guitar) came about a breath away from joining Megadeth...

They toured with Megadeth in '87...Jon got so pissed at Mustaine he body slammed him...

Pointless Savatage trivia...

I know how you feel. Same for me, but rather than trying to find more 80's styles metal, I've been listening to a lot of obscure Bob Seger, Thin Lizzy, & Skynard. Just a different approach, but still some great music that I overlooked in the 80's. A newer band that I like is 3 Doors Down. Try these songs if you haven't heard them yet - Life Of My Own, So I Need You, Better Life, Loser.
