Rage Against the Machine(1st Album)
Bionic Jive
Old 311
Mushroomhead
Motograter
Seventh Seal
Endo
From Zero
Hinder
POD
Reveille
Stemm
Soulfly

I listen to some definately heavy stuff when lifting (Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying, Trivium, All That Remains,Throwdown, etc.)but the above should definately be downloaded. And HED PE can kick your ass in the weightroom too, along with a groove (can get a little raw).

Yuck. Where’s the metal goodness?!?!

Get stuff by these bands. Posthaste.

Amon Amarth - Death metal

Arch Enemy - Death metal (not that great)

Children of Bodom - Death metal

Def Leppard - Metal

Dio - Metal

Dream Theater - Progressive metal

Iced Earth - Power metal

In Flames - Death metal (stay away from everything after Reroute to Remain)

I first heard this band tree-planting last spring; I’ve been listening to them alot as of late, and I agree that it is a great choice here.

Down (one of phil anselmo’s bands, the singer of pantera) this is good, classic, heavy fuckin metal

Motorhead - recipe: lots of speed, booze, english guys who can barely play their instruments in time, leather jackets, more booze, and motorcycles. and a few warts.

Down: Phil and the guitarists from CoC. Raw metal w/o the white supremacist subtext of Pantera.

Motorhead: That’s an unfair assessment of their musicianship. Lemmy’s rhythm-guitar approach towards bass is unique and underrated. Philthy Animal Taylor is one of the baddest drummers of all time. The guy touring with M now, Mickey something, is no slouch either.

Lemmy is a revolutionary rivethead, who carried the metal torch from the 1970s, through disco and punk and new waver eras, on on 'til today. More bands today owe him a bigger debt of gratitude than they’d care to admit.

If you don’t want stuff thats so hard
Chris Cornell’s solo stuff
Pearl Jam…[/quote]

Get the one-shot album Temple of the Dog with Cornell and the guitarists from PJ. Includes “Reach Down” which is one of the greatest HM gospel songs of all time, along with “Over My Head” by King’s X.

Def Leppard…although good, definately NOT METAL.

Wow! People in Nebraska like good music too?
Just kidding…great choices.

Now to the discussion at hand. A new guy at work only listened to hip hop. Fortunately we were able to show him the light of:
Led Zeppelin – anything
Black Crowes – especially their first two albums
Rage Against the Machine – anything
Pink Floyd.

Now he barely knows who fitty cint is! He has chosen the path to enlightenment. And it is only the beginning because he has yet to explore the influences of the above mentioned bands.

Best of luck to you in your quest.
:wink:

Very cool, Boris.

As far as metal:

1349, Absu, Akercocke, At the Gates, Axis of Advance, Behemoth, Belphegor, The Berzerker, The Black Dahlia Murder, Bolt Thrower, Carcass, Darkest Hour, Dissection, Drudkh, Glorior Belli, Into the Moat, Keep of Kalessin, Mastodon, Melechesh, Misery Index, NILE, Opeth, Pig Destroyer, Satyricon, Thorns, Vehemence, Xasthur…

This is what’s on my iPod to take to the gym, most of the other metal I listen to is either hard to “purchase” or too varied to be good for lifting.

yall are gonna keep me busy for quite some time.

Alot of these bands you may never have heard of, but still, for something a little different…

At the Drive In
The Mars Volta (totally wild shit!!!)
System of A Down
Sick of it All
The Beasts of Bourbon
Sleater Kinney
Wolfmother
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
The Hellacopters
Millencolin
The Hives
The Guano Apes
PJ Harvey

…all good to expand your mind and to explore the boundaries.
Obscure often equals interesting.

Ya did good starting him off on Zep and Floyd. Nicely done. I have to give my GF credit for introducing me to Sevendust, Steve Earle and Kenny Wayne. I saw 50cent on an episode of SNL the other day. That hip hop/gangsta stuff has got to be the biggest collection of talentless thugs I have ever witnessed. Makes me sick.
Sorry to be hatin on it so bad, but to me, that ain’t music.

Recently had the pleasure of seein Sevendust in concert. The GF dragged me. She’s draggin me to NIN this Friday.

“Mas Tequila” to you!

Let me first appologize for the hi-jack!

Now to the business at hand.
I was recently reading an interview in “Guitar One” magazine of some guy named Bob Brozman. Never heard of him, but he appears to play mostly jazz/world music. Anyway, here’s a quote from him.

“Today’s rock is the most conservative, timid, unadventurous, lazy music possible. I won’t name any names, but you get these certain big stars–rock guitarists–who could do whatever they wanted, for as much time as they wanted, with whomever they wanted, and in whatever studio they want. And yet, where’s the creativity?”

Pretty harsh, huh? I hate to say I agree. But I’m probably just jealous.

Anyway, I know you were just talking about rap sucking, but I’ll include almost everything on the radio. Three power chords does not a song make!

Those tequilas sound good. Next I’ll take some of those Nebraska steaks!!!

End hi-jack…

Pantera (“Vulgar Display of Power” is the best, IMHO)

Rage against the Machine (Old)

and, if you can find it:

Biohazard (KICKASS stuff)

And of course:

Slayer
Tool

-slipknot
-powerman5k
-static x
-system of a down
-linkin park
-evanescence
-Fall out boy …are all gay.Dude,this is not real lifting music.I couldn’t workout to fall out boy,god.

Try this: Cradle of filth is good

Children of bodom(get their cd" hatecrew deathroll").

Dying fetus

Megadeth

In flames(get the cd “soundtrack to your escape” to start you off).

Static x

Deicide

Cannibal corpse

This is a starter kit for kids who listen to pussy music.

And yes,slayer and Pantera too.\m/

yes,behemoth too,and bathory,and skinless.

Pantera, Children of Bodom, HateBreed, SIX FEET UNDER, Cradle of Filth, DRI, Manowar, Helloween, SOD. These are the main ass kickers. They will make you want to rip everything around you apart and throw 100’s across the gym at any bitch that looks at you.

If your in Lincoln give me a holler. There’s a place here called, The Steakhouse, go figure, it has some awesome steaks or the GF and I could cook you up one. She’s even better at medium rare than I am. We’ll sip a little Cuervo Black Medallion. Its like our very favorite thing to do.

The radio, I have learned can be helpful. They sure make bands like Mudvayne sound decent. They were in concert w/ Sevendust. OMG, what a horrific cacophony of crap that was to see live. I hear what your sayin though. We were in the truck the other day and some old Chicago came on and while this is a very mellow example, I think it holds true for the conversation, we commented that they just don’t make music like that anymore. You know with melody and harmony and the use of devices other than loud, obnoxious and extreme. Maybe I’m just old.

Now back to the thread…

Jimmie Vaughan!

I agree, I have been listening to Motorhead since the early days. I loved it when they played on “The Young Ones”.

I was crushed when Lemmy came out as bi. Great music though, still have them on my workout MP3

(Pre-Y2K) Anthrax.
