Green Day is apparently inducting Guns N' Roses into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in a few weeks.

What the flying gently caress?

Are you upset that Green Day is inducting GnR or that GnR is being inducted?

For those of us with terrible taste, DragonForce's new album leaked and they released the first video from the album:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cU4GXgaCFTI

It's DragonForce. Full of power metal harmonies and guitar wankery, although they've toned down the "video game guitar" quite a bit. I really like the song and I'm looking forward to the album.

I am a huge fan of DF and really like the songs I heard off the new ablum, especially this one. I think Marc Hudson was a great replacement for ZP Theart and like his vocals as much as I ever liked ZP.

And on the topic of cheesy overblown power metal, it seems Pathfinder have released a song from their upcoming second album on Youtube. Sounds pretty good as well, in that certain "what the gently caress is wrong with me and why am I listening to this and grinning like an idiot?" kind of way.

DragonForce is my favorite band, hands down. And I found this Pathfinder song to be so frantic and all over the place that I had to stop it half way through.

I think it was mostly the vocals that did it in for me though. Mostly due to the fact that in about 5 seconds, the vocals went from melodic singing, to death metal growl, to some soprano singing something I couldn't understand.

The new old Pantera song from the Vulgar-era. "Piss"

It's Pantera.

Half of it sounds like discarded riffs from Strength Beyond Stength.

Meh. Watching a bunch of dirty looking rednecks head bang was the worst part of that video, though.

Greetings bros, I posted a new Be'lakor tape awhile back and many of you seemed to enjoy it, so I figured I would alert you to the fact that they have posted the entirety of their new album on YouTube

Its fuckin RED HOT in my opinion. The entire album is packed with delicious riffs.

I patently hate hate death metal vocals, but this sounds pretty loving awesome. I'm going to have to check them out.

Are recommendations for bands that have this sound but with clear vocals?

This is a lie because I can read them all. I wish I was going to CIM this year. :(

Really? I don't think some of them have actual words in them.

What are the two bands to the right of "Dehumanized" and the ones under "Vaginal Bear Trap" and "Cardiac Arrest"?

Unfortunate as it is, Megadeth, Motorhead and Slayer are not the live bands they used to be, and don't draw the crowds they used to either.

I don't know if I'm in a minority here, but I have a hard time listening to Megadeth anymore. All I can think about when I listen to them is what a stupid twat Mustaine was for announcing his endorsement of Rick Santorum.

Checked out Elvenking and Astral Doors after reading this thread. Just the sort of thing I was looking for.

Try out Sonata Arctica if you like Elvenking, the Ecliptica through Unia albums.

This sounds a lot like Stratovarius when they used to be good.

I had the radio on in the car the other day with the volume low, and I heard what initially sounded like a new Metallica song only more interesting than anything they've done in the past two decades. Turns out it was Hail To The King by Avenged Sevenfold. Pretty rockin song, considering I really never cared for them until now.

They've definitely gone out of their way to rip off Metallica in the past though.

Yea, I heard that song too. It was really the drums that reminded me of Metallica. Although I dunno of that's considered a good thing.

Kind of agree but there are songs on that album that I enjoy. The album after that(Quiet Place?) was complete garbage but Come Clarity owns and I will defend that album to the bitter end. I remember the album after Come Clarity being completely bland and lost interest somewhat after.

Edit: Been listening to a lot of Dolving-era Haunted recently and man was he a great singer in his prime. Definitly one of the best in metal from 2003-2011.

Dolving Haunted Best Haunted.

Soundtrack to Your Escape had a couple good songs, as did Reroute to Remain. They're sort of like Load and Reload from Metallica; if you took the handful of good songs from each you'd have one decent album, and another slightly larger album of completely unmemorable songs.

Come Clarity was great though.

Just got tickets to see Arch Enemy in Orlando in two weeks. They're co-headlining with Trivium, whom I've never really listened to before. What are their best albums?
