Wished they had better quality vids with Andre while he was in the band. But you can check out the two studio releases he's on "Noferatu" and "A distant thunder"..they're posted on youtube.

I love this thread!
Keep posting the vids. So many artists and bands I've not heard before.

Dream Evil, Black Tide, Firewind? Those bands really speak to me. Not so much the DEATH or BLACK metal. I like some of it just fine, till the vocals kick in.

I'm a fan of AOR as well; Whitesnake, TNT, House Of Lords, and similar types. However, that TigerNailz and all those other pretty boy hair bands influenced by the Poison image and sound? No thanks!

As it is in the music biz, something gets popular and before you know it, the market gets so totally flooded and drenched with the same drivel, that one loses interest after a while. That's when it becomes a trend. I've not heard of TigerNailz because of the very reason I just mentioned.
Cheers!

Cool G..that is my intention. I know EXACTLY what you're looking for. I'm not posting any black or death metal bands to turn off any would be fans of new metal..I did post Arch Enemy..but I love the Amott bros.

You may also want to check out my Zeno Roth thread in the artist section..prolly right up your alley. Lots of AOR stuff going on in there...bands like Fair Warning, Gotthard, Jaded Heat, Ten, Millenium, Vandenberg, Starbreaker, ..I'll ooze some stuff of that in here too. Awesome vocals, guitars, musicianship and most importantly great songs!!

I like the AOR stuff too, but I am trying to keep this thread as metal as I can..without freaking anyone out.

dude, check out Masterplan, Pink Cream 69, Last Tribe, Brainstorm, Conception. I'd provide vids, but at work and don't have time to trawl for them for you. But trust me......

**Ben...** · 10-09-2008, 07:04 PM

Big +1 on Conception. Super good band!

**Ben...** · 10-09-2008, 08:10 PM

Finally!!!! I found what Tuna is!!!! It WAS in fact(and still is) a town in Sweden.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eskilstuna

So it turns out that they aren't, in fact, singing a bunch of gibberish. Who'd a thought that?

The town was named after a monk and they added Tuna later on.

**El_Kabong** · 10-09-2008, 09:44 PM

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, I went to a NAMBLA meeting to see if it was true metal wearing spandex, bandanas and wrestling boots. They hurt my bum and made me feel bad about myself.

Horns666 and VitaminG;
I've not heard of any of those bands, but enjoyed the vids very much. I'll be sure to do some Youtube searches for the other suggestions to be sure.

I'm like a 14yr old again! All this new metal reminds me of the days back in '71 with my best bud,{Still to this day.} listening to obscure "Heavy" music, as it was called then, on my sister's new Sony Receiver, Wharfdale speakers and Dual turntable. Taste, Zep, Deep Purple, which led to Sabbath, Lucifers Friend, Budgie, Uli era Scorpions, UFO. I tend to lean towards the European side of metal. Schenker was a big influence on me.

Don't get me wrong. I quite like good ol' American metal as well, The Rods, Riot, Elf among my favourites. I was also a wannabe Kiss army fan! Be that as it may, British/European bands were my favoured style of metal for learning and listening.

I must say that joining JCF has been an eye opener for me. JCF has been one of the three catalysts that got my enzymes reactivated. The other two being Limewire and the Finnish band Nightwish.

Limewire:
Click on the genre of choice and a whole pile of new, unheards of stuff comes up. Nightwish??!??!?? Who the h#ll are they? This led to an interest in Chick Goth Metal; Most of which are based in Europe. Which led to:

Nightwish:
Funnily enough, after two weeks of fun on Limewire, I happened to see a poster of Nightwish playing here. WTF?!?!?? I had to go. After seeing them, I decided to get their latest CD, Dark Passion Play.
While jamming along on a couple of tunes with my Charvel Model 4, the issue with the Kahler came up. This then led me to;

JCF:
Solely responsible for the purchase of; 4 new guitars, 3 used guitars, 2 amps, 4 pups, an urge to play them all, and an open door to new metal bands and technically gifted young players.
Need I say more?
Cheers and a big thanks guys!
G.

Wow, GS, that's a very complicated yet interesting story. It's good that it brought you here.

I just came here because I was bored and I had given up on UG. I couldn't find anything worth posting there because it would all be nullified by little ignorant 13-year-olds who bandwagon jump every 8 seconds and tell you to get X guitar and Y amp so you could sound like (Fill in player name here).:dunno:
