OK, I'm going through some really rough times, and have had a spectacularly rotten day today. I need some musical distractions.

i love Iron Maiden, Nickelback, Metallica, Stone Sour, Foo Fighters, etc.

Name me some songs that will cheer me up/let me sing my rage out/make me smile, please.

For your troubles, I shall share

Anything by the epic Danish band Volbeat.

Just go to You Tube, search for them, and enjoy :)

DorisShutt · 27/09/2013 20:02

If I'm in that mood, I always go for Rage Against the Machine and "Killing in the name".

Good for a mosh and a large helping of singing/shouting FUUUUUUUCK!

ElleMcFearsome · 27/09/2013 20:02

by the Foos to start with (the video makes me laugh and I love the song too)

ElleMcFearsome · 27/09/2013 20:03

Ohhh and deffo Doris's suggestion too!

soontobeburns · 27/09/2013 20:03

Save me by hinder I love this great for screaming and rocking out to.

Fwiw Hinder, Theory of a Deadman, Simple Plan and Shinedown are must hears.

Whatdoido5 · 27/09/2013 20:08

Anything by avenged sevenfold

motherstongue · 27/09/2013 20:08

Chop Suey by System of a down. Always does the trick for me. But maybe not as uplifting lyric wise as you might want, what with self righteous suicide being part of the lyrics. Maybe I should just leave the party now. I'll get my coat!

GhostsInSnow · 27/09/2013 20:08

Hello! I'm 39 so my era was the 80's. Huge Leppard, Metallica, Crue, Poison, Skid Row, GnR, Dokken, Ratt fan.

DO like a lot of modern stuff though, especially The Used, My Chemical Romance, Foo Fighters, 30 Seconds To Mars, All Time Low, Biffy, Panic at the Disco etc
Basically, if its on Kerrang TV I usually love it.

ElleMcFearsome · 27/09/2013 20:09

And showing my age here (I was about 12 when this came out) I give you for the beauteous Sab Bach in his youth

SPBisResisting · 27/09/2013 20:09

I have no sugestuons as I'm too tired to think but if you don't mind me asking, what's up? Sorry you're going through a rough time

GhostsInSnow · 27/09/2013 20:09

An uplifting song I give you...

Somethingpink · 27/09/2013 20:10

Damage plan - fuck you
Pantera - walk
Hatebreed - live for this
Fear factory - digimortal album

GhostsInSnow · 27/09/2013 20:10

Elle, I was so in love with him. I screamed like a little girl when he came onstage with GnR a few years ago and my best friend was wetting herself laughing at me

turkeyboots · 27/09/2013 20:11

I've taken to listening to Team Rock Radio and discovered loads of new stuff. Avenged Sevenfold, Fivefinger Deathpunch, Volbeat, Bring me the Horizon.

Also love Lamb of Gods song which contains the immortal line "this is A motherfucking invitation" which I sing to myself everytime DD gets a party invite!

2Old2BeABluePeterPresenter · 27/09/2013 20:11

Get some Wildhearts on, Ginger and the crew can cheer anyone up. Also my friend from school has a band called Throw The Fight, they're supporting Bullet For My Valentine at the moment. I'm a bit of a punk ska liver and Reel Big Fish always cheer me up.

superbagpuss · 27/09/2013 20:11

I use Metallica nothing else matters, great shouty song and it annoys dh

dream on - aerosmith

just somebody that I used to know - goyte

PervyMuskrat · 27/09/2013 20:12

Drowning Pool - Bodies
Slipknot - Duality
Rammstein - Keine Lust

And YY to Walk by Pantera (wanders off to find Vulgar Display of Power and put it on loud!)

ElleMcFearsome · 27/09/2013 20:13

Juice I'm squeeing at youtube watching him now. DH is all

motherstongue · 27/09/2013 20:14

I'm back, like a bad penny, also like "No one knows" by Queens of the Stone Age. Has the advantage of a wee bit of Dave Grohl thrown in especially if you can watch the video. Anything really be the Foos,again, especially if you can watch the videos.

GhostsInSnow · 27/09/2013 20:15

He's still not bad looking at all elle neither is Brett Michaels from Poison actually. Axl let the side down though, he was just sex on legs to 15 year old me and looking at him now is so sad.

Both my kids (16 and 20) are huge Skid Row fans. My fault entirely...

PervyMuskrat · 27/09/2013 20:15

And to make you smile, Tenacious D - Tribute!

ElleMcFearsome · 27/09/2013 20:16

Ohhh also 1985 which my DDs sing to me when they're feeling especially irritating (needs the video for the full effect!)
