What is it? You can't say old bands that weren't formedĀ in the last few years. Like LJS couldn't say The Cure, or Samwel couldn't say Nine inch nails.

For me its 3 days grace, excellent band and everyone of their songs is awesome!

My other favorite bands are Iron maiden and Rush and every other good band or artist out there, but for new stuff, 3 days grace is the best!

They need more support than more well established bands like Iron maiden or Rush or Led zeppelin or whatever.

Also: I'd like a 3 days grace avatar and sig.

As much as it pains me to say - Arctic Monkeys. They're the only truly 'great' band I've heard in roughly three years. It's a shame there aren't more.

QFT. The guitar parts aren't fast and most of the time aren't hard, but Mikael is a good guitarist so he can still make the guitar parts awesome without playing fast.

But the other guitarist (forgot his name) left and that guy from I think Arch Enemy is filling his spot, so hopefully they can still be as awesome as they were before.Ā

My favourite band is Cannibal Corpse. The way that their sound has evolved over the years is just amazing...everything about that band is great in my opinion.

Either Test Your Reflex or The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. The newest one of those two is TYR...their first album, The Burning Hour, came out on April 24th this year. ;)

Arctic Monkeys, I liked them from the beginning and they aren't very popular here in Canada. So non of this bandwagon stuff.

Kind of a hard question because most of the stuff I listen to is old metal/rock. I guess I would say Hurt, Dropbox, Killswitch, and mudvayne.

Really, TDG is gonne be the main attraction for me.Ā  But I really like BB and Puddle of Mudd is pretty cool.

I had never heard of Red till a few daysĀ  ago, but apprently theyre a chrisitan band thats very similar to Linkin Park.. which happens to be my favorite band... Ā  Its gonna be so kick ass.

On another note, im pissed that LP decided to skip Tennessee on their Projekt Revoloution tour.... :evil:Ā

I saw them with breaking benjamin and Nickelback. I don't like Nickelback, but they do put on a pretty good show. The singer seems pretty cool and laid back.

well they're by no means new or modern really, I've liked them for quite a long time but they disappeared for a while since Daniel Johns was sick, but Silverchair is making a return and they're new stuff is amazing imo.

Opeth. Mikael Akerfeldt is a good guitarist, great vocalist, and astounding song writer.blooddemon666

Akerfeldt, in my opinion, is possibly the greatest vocalist right now, in any genre. I'd say either Becoming the Archetype, Nile, Opeth, or Decapitated. Can't decide.

:? those other bands are a little to heavy for my liking, even still, i do like some of their songs. I have nile's annihilation of the wicked album.

Ā 

another band I like, it may seem cliche or overrated or whatever you want to call it, but Incubus. They have a good range of songs.

Yeah, Opeth falls into the lighter side of my music. If you don't count Dashboard Confessional, Coheed and Cambria, or Emery. I am so damn eclectic.
