The Official Rock Thread

[TheGodEmperor]

if jip hop and rap gets one, then rock should too.

Anyhow, I've been listening to Jethro Tull, 13th Floor Elevators, Spock's Beard, Dropkick Murphys, Gentle Giant, Flogging Molly, Runrig, and a bit of Echolyn lately.

How 'bout everyone else who listen to rock?

sounds good chunk, i'll try some of your bands on youtube. you have always good music  :thumbsup:

[TheGodEmperor]

you chunk I like your taste. I've been listening to tons of prog rock recently...

check out alphataurus, spock's beard, camel, and other random italian prog rock bands...

Their sound is so crazy

[Chunkchenko]

Speaking of Drop Kick murphys i learnt some of "Johnny i hardly knew ya" on my bass.

Ill check out those bands now. I never really hear rock songs on the radio when i go to italy.

Heres an amazing cover of probably my favourite Human Abstract song.
Polaris

Too bad their new album "Midheaven" is pretty poor.

Also do you like Bullet for my valentine, Killswitch engage and Papa roach?

[TheGodEmperor]

the only band I listed there thats Italian was Alphataurus. Check out Gentle Giant and Spock's Beard, though 

that song that you posted wasn't bad, although I can't stand metal/post hardcore style vocals. I figured out how to play 'Shipping Off to Boston' by the Dropkick Murphys on guitar...it was surprisingly easy.

And no I dont like the 3 bands you listed either...

do you guys in Britain know Alexis On Fire? They're pretty sick

About Mudvayne - I like both of em... There was a time where I loved Happy to the EXTREME! For like 4 months or so. I was like this song can never get boring. it's just perfect. But now... pfff... it's ok. I'm getting into the older mudvayne shizzle now. But Happy etc... still awesome.  :rockit:
You've got quite good taste too  :thumbsup:
