The Rock/Metal Thread

My experience has been that most people consider the era in which they were teenagers to early-20s to have the "best" music.

I think music is better now than when I was in my teens-early 20s but I listen to a different genre now.

Unless you are in your 70s, I don't see how that's possible. I find almost everything current unlistenable (with exceptions, of course -- Isbell, Sturgill, Tyler Childers, some Stapleton...Ed Sheeran has done some cool stuff, John Mayer just continues to mature and prove himself as one of the most impressive musicians of this era ... a little electronic like Daft Punk, Madeon, and Above and Beyond...some Phantogram and Chainsmokers...) Almost nothing considered "rock" or "heavy" excites me lately.

I'm not a big music person, but i heard a song at the bowling alley tonight. I inew it was zombie, but not the cranberries, yet it sounded great. I looked it up, and it's a group called Bad Wolves. They rocked that song imo.

I went to their show in Johnson City a few weeks ago. Not really my cup of tea, but they drew a huge crowd and put on a good show. It was sold out, and I'm willing to bet it was oversold.

I'm just not into that weird pop metal style. Their guitars sounded gnarly though. They were probably tuned to A or something ridiculous like that.
 
also, great live show

They put 110% into their live performance. I’ve seen them twice now and had a great time. The drummer is hysterical with some of the flair he’s got going on. He even does little subtle magic tricks like making his sticks appear in his hands out of nowhere.
 
It's been out a while but I'm really digging the newest Alice In Chains song. Their new album drops Aug. 24.

It’s an amazing cover. Dolores was supposed to do the remake with the same band, but of course she passed away. It gave me chills, dudes voice is powerful and he put his heart and soul into it. One of my all time favorite songs, the 90’s were the best.

He did great.
 
Has anyone listened to Alien Weaponry yet? These kids have a bright future in metal. Just look up their vedio on YouTube. Good stuff
