[QUOTE=lifer_113]For a while I've been on a long Classic rock/Dead Head/acoustic binge, but recently I've been blowing the dust off my metal albums and listening to alot of that again, but I've been eager for new music. Now, after cruising this forum for a couple weeks I really want to hear some more black metal. The only background i have in black metal is old mans child, old dimmu borgir, some "Filsofem" Burzum songs, and (not saying they ARE black metal for anyone who would like to tell me otherwise) Cradle of Filth. If anyone could make any reccomendations, especially particular albums and songs, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks[/QUOTE]

any particular songs by Darkthrone, Immortal, Emperor, and Judas Iscariot?

I really like Emperor's later albums (Prometheus especially) but that's not really the old school black metal sound.

[QUOTE=lifer_113]any particular songs by Darkthrone, Immortal, Emperor, and Judas Iscariot?[/QUOTE]

Get all of each bands cd's. Get Judas Iscariots "Heaven in flames" especially though.

I don't have any Judas Iscariot yet. I still have yet to ever hear them.

I know alot of you here probably don't really like mordern rock or nu-metal but i need some suggestions on morden rock bands. My band is going to enter a talent show and We were thinking of doing a cover of some mordern rock song which is abit mainstream but still unknown to many people...Lyrics have to be clean too.....and its best if the guitar is in standard d tuning which makes it so much easier to play chords(our guitarist is good but he's abit sloppy joe on chords ) So can anyone please give me suggestions...thanks.

try Porcupine Tree, one of the GOOD rock bands, at the moment
or
Radiohead, Saybia, the flower kings
or otherwise

pff, and the level drops

Jet
Maroon 5
Franz Ferdinand
the darkness ( they're quite good actually)

enjoy

I ca see why people like them, but personally they bore me somewhat. Some of the songs get repetitive.

yo guys, was going to go to ozzfest this year, but west palm got cancelled due to the hurricanes. Im gonna need some....

Judas Priest
Black Label Society
Slayer
Atreyu

also, if you can think of any better ozzfest bands that were on ozzfest, i'd appreciate you list those. (i got black sabbath, slipknot, and hatebreed covered.)

EDIT: Not on ozzfest, but i like the way they sound, Rob Zombie.

For Slayer, check out these songs:
Angel of Death
Postmortem
Raining Blood
South of Heaven
Mandatory Suicide
Agressive Perfector

and the albums Reign in Blood and South of Heaven are my favorites of Slayer, though Hell Awaits is considered pretty good (though I don't like it much) and Seasons in the Abyss is worth picking up.

Please recommend the best Rush songs you can think of, I've never heard any before

(PS I like both prog metal and rock / classic rock, eg Dream Theater and Led Zep, to give you an idea the kinda music you might recommend)

YYZ is a good Rush song.

I havn't heard much of Rush, i do have one album, and i am thinking about covering some with the band... Would be nice to know some favourite recommendations please :)

I wish In Flames had a greatest hits CD.I need to know their best album.I currently have Clayman and Reroute To Remain.

I'd say Whoracle.

[QUOTE=high_voltage_acdc]I'd say Whoracle.[/QUOTE]
Thanks,I'll check it out.

I need some Frank Zappa recommendations. He has quite a large discography and i just don't know where to start.

bump, thanks for the slayer btw.

[U]The Amazing Verticalville[/U] – Totally awesome. First off they have no vocals. This may sound kind of shocking, but it works so well. It's basically Guitars, fast fast drums, and a little bit of synth. Without vocals they compensate by playing really **** fine melodic guitar. It's just all over the place and hyperactive as hell at times, but their selftitled album does have some more lulled parts. It's very experimental and somwhat prog, but their experimentation doesn't overtake their creativity and sound.

I encourage anyone to try and hunt this album down. I think there are some websites you can order it from. Personally I would have never found out about them if my friend (his friend knows the band) hadn't showed me their CD. There really isn't a good band I can compare them to; thy just have such a sound that's all their own. I so desperately want to hear others opinions on this CD. I'd be willing to share this CD on AIM or just give some songs away. The entire album is only 9 tracks and under 40 minutes long.

AIM: samtheruntkake

Edit: I've just been informed that they sound similar to Hella.

^Sounds like it could be good, I may check them out later (when I have more time :().

[QUOTE=i2 enegade]I need some Frank Zappa recommendations. He has quite a large discography and i just don't know where to start.[/QUOTE]

Freak Out! or Hot Rats.

I need Some recommendations. Only one CD from each band though:


Iron Maiden
Megadeth
Mahavishnu Orchestra
Mars Volta

[B]Megadeth:[/B]
Thrash sound: Rust in Peace
Metal sound: Countdown to extinction
Alternative(ish) sound: Crytpic writings

I know you said one only, but these are the three that best represent their different styles so pick One.

[B]Mahavishnu Orchestra:[/B]
Birds of Fire - is a great album but the only one that I'm really familiar with. Try asking in the jazz forum.

Meh, i got a quick response, that's all I needed. I'll probably get all 3 once I get my next paycheck.

Mister Che i would go for the new mars volta Francis the Mute. And what are some good black metal songs? Like emperor,Dimmu(not troo black) anyother black that i dont need slsk for and some symphonic black would be nice also.

[QUOTE=Mister_Che]I need Some recommendations. Only one CD from each band though:

mahavishnu orchestra - birds of fire
mars volta - deloused in the comatorium

Okay, I need reccomendations. This can be songs or CD's.

Green Day (more of their old stuff, not that American Idiot)
My Chemical Romance
Smashing Pumpkins
Weezer
Social Distortion
Sum 41
The Killers
The Strokes
Modest Mouse
The Mars Volta
The Arcade Fire

KROQ's my favorite radio station, so if anyone knows what kind of stuff they play, I like that.

Are those bands you already like, or bands you want recommendations for?

What are some Amazing Death Metal Bands that I should be listening to right now? I want to expand my Death Metal Collection. SO, name a band, and put some of their best songs by them too.
Also, what are some of the best Mars Volta stuff???

What album should I get to start out with Captain Beefheart?
