Rock/Metal lovers, over here please :)

[LollipopViolet]

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

acsec My DDs get the gig ticket money these days. Swine of it is, they go to stuff I'd like to see but it would be too awful if I was there and I want them to enjoy gigs as much as I did, so I don't cramp their style

DH isn't really about the RAWK, he's more of a Bob Dylan fan...

And this!! Love this thread

Acsec -DH took me for my birthday to see Less than Jake , Reel Big Fish and Flogging Molly, it was brilliant and we were so knackered afterwards from dancing like lunatics.

SLASH ! !

Sorry , no idea what came over me there . as you were.

Rammstein are great, I'm listening to Waidmanns heil right now.

In the car currently I have:

Metallica (at the request of my 9 yr old DS)
Linkin Park (ditto)
Dio
Black Sabbath

And the compilation freebie off the latest Metal Hammer (Trivium, Alter Bridge, Korn, etc, awesome stuff)

Korn - make me bad
Slipknot - people = shit
Disturbed - stupify

Actually, one of the best tracks I know is Iron Maiden "The Trooper". A real kicker of a riff there.

An exs best friends band were playing with them at a gig in Leeds and he used to drive equipment around for his mates band so he took me with him and I met him when they were all packing up later on.

He was just a bit of a twat really but so are a lot of 17 year olds in bands.

I cant even remember the name of exs mates band, I just thought they were shite.

DSS has no musical identity yet, so no gigs for him.
DH doesn't like my music so I'm going with a friend. I'm digging out my skanking jeans from my DMum's loft and I'm going to love every minute!

I used to gig all the time, but I don't really have anyone to go with :( My big bro used to get me a ticket when he was seeing someone good, but he's got his hands full with 3 DCs under 2 now.

Ministry - Let's Go
Devin Townsend - Ocean Machine
Anything by Rob Zombie!

Faith No More: Just A Man

Beyond - my sole claim to fame was meeting David Draiman. He hugged me v gorgeous but amazingly short!!

Am loving Carcass at the moment - their new album/line up is awesome. Sadly will miss them at Damnation festival, but off to see them with Hell and Amon Amarth shortly afterwards.

If you have Internet radio, try Braingel. Always playing some interesting stuff.

Ooops, meant Life, a track on ocean machine.

Rammstein
Rob Zombie
Marilyn Manson...the whole antichrist superstar album
Korn...make me bad or did my time
Pantera..pretty much anything of theres
Slipknot...duality

I'll offer

was my favourite song for ages!

Elle...

Having an urge here to go and charge my ipod

Local band of mine - ten cent toy - have a look at them, they are amazing

I'm suddenly mourning the fact that I can no longer attend gigs. Also, so many of my CDs can no longer be played as I don't want DD to pick up the language (looking at you Ginger).

I am out of touch old school.

Early Green Day always makes me smile. It definitely lacks a certain amount of political correctness but Basket Case is a fab album & the song itself. Longview is a song about wanking - my teenage self and therefore my 30-something self with memories finds it hilarious ymmv.

Guns & Roses have some fantastic shouty songs. Welcome to the Jungle is ace. I love Don't Cry as a ballad. Some of the rest depend on your tolerance for sexist lyrics tbh, because they have some great tunes with some wtf lyrics.)

Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun. Utterly weird, fantastic anthemic track and truly odd 90s video. I love it.

Buddy Holly by Weezer. The most offensively cheerful indie rock track ever?

Do you like Suede? There are some great tracks on Dog Man Star. It's more indie, but they are on the rocky side and there are some anthemic choruses plus a fair bit of (tuneful) indie whining.

Also can I just take an off topic moment to mourn the gorgeousness that was Axl Rose. Was motivated by this thread to go on You Tube for stuff I have on CD. How did he age so badly?!?

Limp Bizkit- Boiler
My Chem- Honey..
Every Time I Die for more upbeatiness

So many more that escape my addled memory

Posy, I was just watching Soundgarden on youtube -what were they thinking?!

I am not metal enough for this discussion but have enjoyed a bit of Pearl Jam and At the Drive-in courtesy of this thread so thanks

Posy, Soundgarden made me think of this

Alice in chains: Rooster
