Good band. :good:
Try as I might, i haven't been able to come across anything by KOL that really grabs me. Maybe it's because I'm an old fart. Anyway, it's my understanding this tune put 'em on the map, so to speak.
Amen.
I saw Blackberry Smoke in concert and quickly became a fan:
Amen.
You decide which version you prefer. . .The song is "Silver Bullet" by Hawthorne Heights, an Ohio band. This is the acoustic version:
This is the electric version:
I think the acoustic version is really good. Can't say the same for the other one.
Amen.
]Here's another double-scoop. KT Tunstall is a Scottish lass and I rather like this song, "Suddenly I See." Well, the first imbed is the natural version. The second imbed, however, has been geared down so that it sounds like a male singer. Interesting.
Version #1:
Version #2:
Amen.
These guys are an AC/DC clone band.

Yeah. That kid's voice bears an uncanny resemblance to Plant's. Seems to me they came on like gangbusters for a short spell, then nuttin' but crickets. Perhaps I haven't been paying close enough attention.
Amen.

I think you are right about that.
Not to be confused with the legendary Ten Years After, this band called "10 years" is from Knoxville, Tennessee. Almost twenty years ago, I came across an mp3 of an acoustic version of this song. This is the metal version of that which, for the present, I like slightly better. Of course, that could all change in a day, or two. For now, however, here ya go:
Amen.
I first heard this song on the soundtrack of "Road Trip" and became an immediate fan:
Amen.
Jet hails from OZ and got good mileage with this bouncy rocker:
Amen.
Can't go wrong with Collective Soul. This one is nice 'n' chunky:
Amen.
The majority of the music I post here is upbeat. This song isn't. It's sad. I'd wager most everyone here has experienced in one way or another pain and trauma wrought by drugs and addiction.
Amen.
Trent Reznor is a different kinda cat. He has some good stuff out there. This is some of that good stuff:
Amen.
I don't know a lot about them, but Ours is from New Jersey. I've only heard the one song I am about to post, but it is really good. Released in 2001, I think it did go as high as #30 on the Modern Rock chart:
Amen.
Jamey Johnson is Alabammy born 'n' raised. I could've put this in the Country thread, but IMHO it's more Americana. Oh well. In the end, it matters not. What does matter is I loved my Grampa and still miss him dearly after all these years. Grandma, too.
Amen.
The Cult has been around for quite a while and has put out a lotta music. IMHO, this is one of their best:
Amen.
Puddle of Mudd has some songs I like. This one , in particular, put 'em on the map. They've sold over seven million albums, but I can't help but wonder how many more might've been sold if lead man, Wes Scantlin, didn't have so many controversies and problems. Oh well:

Cool. Here's another, Shen Li. The video is a hoot, too:

I like Control. Blurry was their best known song.
I get in the mood for this song on occasion.

I have always liked The Offspring. Formed in 1984, they're still in bidniss, although frontman Dexter Holland is the only remaining original. I need to see 'em live sometime. In the meantime, this 2012 number is one of their best, IMHO:
Amen.
I have a special place in my heart for this one

This band is called
Lord Huron. I don't know much about them. They are based in Los Angeles and I heard this song and liked it. Especially the lyrics. No surprise that it went triple platinum:

I'm in the mood for some Chinese metal. My favourite Chinese band, Tang Dynasty.

I read that Coldplay has sold a shitload o' records. I have listened to very little of their stuff. I did, however, hear this song quite a while ago over the speakers in a store and I liked it. From 2003:
Amen.
Los Lonely Boys consists of the three Garza brothers from San Angelo, Texas. They hit it big right outta the chute with their debut single called
Heaven:
Amen.
This is one of those songs I heard here 'n' there from time to time, but had no clue as to who sang it. The song is also probably the most recent one I've posted on this forum - it came out in 2023. Anyway, it's by a white dude from Conyers, Georgia who goes by
Teddy Swims:
Amen.

His voice doesn't fit his face. If you posted audio only, that is not how I would assume he looks.

Mastodon is from Atlanta, Georgia and was formed in 2000. The four man lineup remained the same for 24 years, until guitarist Brent Hinds left in March 2025. Tragically, he was killed in a motorcycle wreck just three days ago when a SUV failed to yield at an intersection.
I've not listened to much by them, although they have had some serious success over their existence. I could've posted this track in the cover thread, but the flip-of-the-coin put it here. And I must say, this cover of the ZZ Top classic is outstanding:
Amen.

Good band and an excellent cover.
FireHouse was formed 1984 in Richmond, Virginia. I'd heard of 'em, but that's about it. I never listened to 'em. If you'd asked me to name just one song by them, crickets would be all you'd hear. Well, I saw 'em live for the hell of it a few nights back. They blew me away.
FireHouse's lead singer is Nate Peck, a former contestant on American Idol. He stepped in for long-time singer and co-founder C.J. Snare, who died April 5, 2024. Nate was super. Drummer Michael Nelson and bassist Allen McKenzie provide a great pounding bottom for the music. And lead guitarist Bill Leverty is a ridiculously outstanding master shredder.
This is their most recent song and has Peck on vocals:
The next number features C.J.Snare, RIP, and is one of their hits:
Amen.

While I'm not a rabid fan of G & R, they do have some songs I like - from years ago. And Axl Rose has come across to me as a big turd. But I suppose there are plenty who'd say the same about me.
Time and again we've seen countless bands and artists fall flat trying to either keep the glory days going, or somehow bring them back. From what I've seen, most of 'em fail.
G & R is going on tour this year. I have no way of knowing how that'll go. That said, this is a very new song, released 12-4-2025. It's nothing like what I expected, but I must say - it is different and it is good:
Amen.

I like GNR's music but I do NOT like Axll Rose's vocals. I thought Velvet Revolver with Scott Weiland was better.
However, I'll give this song a listen.

Actually, I liked Weiland's voice better, too. I really liked STP.
There's something different about Axl's voice on that new song. Not squealy like the old days.

This is the best Axl Rose song with GNR I've ever heard. His vocals have matured for the better. That is unusual for hard rock/metal vocalists.
Stu, this is an example of what I'm talking about with aging metal singers.
Rob Halford is one of my fave vocalists. However, he'll be 75 this year. His extreme vocals that made him a legend with Judas Priest are impossible to maintain at his age.
It really is time for the Priest to hang up their leather and studs.
This is a terrible version of Freewheel Burning. It's a few years old I think.

That was pretty awful. Voice enhancers are available now that could've helped him out a lot. I have no idea why they let him embarrass himself like that.
Amen.

Maybe Halford and the Priest are purists. I don't know.
However, if I was paying to see them live, I wouldn't mind if they got a little artificial help. Who wants to hear that terrible performance.
The truth is Rob Halford, Ian Hilll and the rest should retire.
