puggy Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 So to continue along the same lines as a few other threads I've started recently, I thought I would throw this one in the mix too. Now I know not everyone is into rock music (if not, probably best to discontinue reading), but I thought it would be a good way to share bands which we may not of heard of but more importantly, present some opportunities for fellow members to meet at some gigs and share a whiskey or ten! I'm from Aberdeen so the amount of decent bands that come here is pretty dire! Generally I find myself in Edinburgh/Glasgow several times throughout the year to catch some shows. From small venues like The Garage and O2 ABC to the bigger ones like Murrayfield and the Hydro. I know rock music is a pretty general term, as there are a number of sub categories (screemo, metal, punk, old school , etc), however, my personal favourite is American Rock over the past couple of decades! So to kick things off, I've compiled a list of 10 of my favourite songs. If you haven't heard them, give them a listen and let me know what you think. If you like to cruise with the windows down and rock music playing, you might appreciate some of them! 1) Motley Crue - Kickstart My Heart 2) Puddle Of Mudd - Spaceship 3) Rise Against - Savior 4) Nickelback - Midnight Queen 5) Black Stone Cherry - Blame It On The Boom Boom 6) Hinder - Take It To The Limit 7) A New Revolution - Rise 8) Buckcherry - Gluttony 9) Hoobastank - Same Direction 10) 3 Doors Down - Still Alive Thanks guys and any suggestions/comments would be appreciated.

puggy Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Yeah, I know, it's a bit of a random topic but I've always seen music and driving go hand-in-hand! Plus, so many people spend hundreds, sometimes thousands of pounds on ICE that it may be a worthy subject to comment on! It might be a flop topic, but you never know!

Havard Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 You need to listen to 3 Days Grace Halestorm Shinedown Alter Bridge Daughtry That should keep you going for a while. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puggy Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 You need to listen to 3 Days Grace Halestorm Shinedown Alter Bridge Daughtry That should keep you going for a while. H. Agreed, very much a fan of them all! Had the pleasure of seeing all of them live (apart from Three Days Grace) all within the last few years. Daughtrys earlier stuff was good but no so much a fan of their newer albums! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 You were doing so well until you put nickleback on that list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puggy Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 You were doing so well until you put nickleback on that list Guilty pleasure I suppose! Although, I'm going to see them live in Glasgow next month! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc92 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I went to a load of live stuff when I was in school. the darkness, ozzy osbourne, iron maiden, green day, metallica, tenacious d, guns n roses, a lot of metal bands too. Fun times but I haven't been to a show in maybe 6 years. I like black stone cherry and hoobastank from your list already, I'll check the rest out. I still enjoy rock but listen to a lot of other genres, recently I've had stone gods, wheatus, the living end and the hellacopters albums on my playlist.

Swampy442 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 A band thats impressed me recently in the metal world is Bring me the Horizon. Other than that Im way into the metal wilderness compared to the bands you listed lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I forgot to mention Seether too. I have recently discovered Kryptonite by 3 doors Down and cannot get it out of my head. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I don't think many on here would be into the sort of stuff I like at all Basically it starts with early Metallica (they got me into playing guitar, after all) and just goes heavier from there. Slayer, Pantera, Carcass, Terrorizer, Brutal Truth, Ion Dissonance, Pig Destroyer, Nasum, Agoraphobic Nosebleed. The list goes on and on. Being up here, you should come and check out either of my bands - MING & Grudge. Grudge are playing tonight at the function room upstairs in O'Neills actually.

Nodalmighty Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I'm more of a Dio / Sabbath , VH /DLR, Deep Purple Man myself. But I Generally like Music that I just like. In fact Chaos AD has been the 7am morning anthem wake up call for the neighbours then they are up till 2 in the morning partying the night before. I now quite like Sepultura (I'm strangely drawn to Electric Six also) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc92 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I enjoy Pig Destroyer. If we're talking metal I'm into the more melodic stuff like children of bodom, norther, nightrage, skyfire and ensiferum. Currently have playing, it's a good album.

Click HERE for one of our tunes James, I'll check them out, thanks! I do like bits and pieces when it comes to metal, generally the odd one or two songs from a band. It's also usually more common bands like Slipknot, Disturbed and Metallic. Haven't heard of most of the bands you guys have listed but I'll definitely give them and listen.
