and yes, I know of metallica, but have listened to most of their famous ones.
what I want is names and songs of some new bands.
Clearly REAL rock fans are few and far between on this site having read some of the suggestions so far.
Clearly,
Metallica rule all, and have a new album on the way. :hpraise
However, for some other selections I would suggest the following:
Starting with bands formed from parts of legendary bands....
Audioslave (Singer from
Soundgarden + band from
Rage Against The Machine). They have already produced two albums. The first,
Audioslave, is the better of the two but
Out of Exile is definitely worth a listen.
Alter Bridge (Some random but very good lead singer + band from
Creed). Their only album
One Day Remains is pretty good and rocks hard.
Velvet Revolver (Singer from
Stone Temple Pilots + most of the
Guns 'n' Roses band). One album so far,
Contraband went multi-platinum pretty damn fast. Best song is Slither.
And for a very good Australian alternative, you can't go wrong with
The John Butler Trio. Awesome stuff. Not really hard rock as it's all accoustic but they're stuff is, for the most part, outstanding. They've made 3 albums so far, the best of which is
Sunrise Over Sea which has some great songs, in particular 'What You Want' and 'Peaches and Cream' which are stunning.
Of their other two albums,
Three and
John Butler, I would give
Three[/] a miss altogther but John Butler is definitely worth a listen if only for the song 'Inspiration' which is definitely my favourite of all their songs.
Finally, for a much less well-known alternative, I suggest The Glitterati whose eponymous first album is awesome. Check out now!
That should keep you busy for a while.
