I saw Killswitch a few weeks ago. Amazing band live. There was such a fun wall of death for Rose Of Sharyn and I started a big old circle pit for Still Beats Your Name.
Why didn't you mention The Bled, The Black Dahlia Murder, Buried Inside, Death Cab For Cutie, Finch, Into The Moat, Ludacris, DMX, Obie Trice, Eminem, Norma Jean, Psyopus, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, The Acacia Strain, Prostitute Disfigurement, The Devil Wears Prada.... there are so many better American bands than Daath, Symphony X or Kamelot (although I've liked all of them in the past)."
*shrugs* I kinda took the original post to be 'post bands you like from your country.' Being both a Canadian and American citizen I figured I'd post both.
*cringe* Most o' those I either don't like or never heard of. When it comes to music I like metal in almost all its forms (with some exceptions, of course), some hard rock, older classic rock artists, some classical, and video game music. Other than that I might listen to country if its playing... anything else I pretty much can't stand.
Anywho, more American bands... this time a little more mainstream (or at least my definition of mainstream) metal/rock:
Disturbed - Nu Metal
The Game
Korn - Nu Metal (I prefer their old stuff)
Blind
Godsmack - Heavy Metal/Hard Rock/Nu Metal
Straight Out Of Line
Offspring - Punk Rock/Skate Punk (One of the few punk rock bands I enjoy. Really like the string quartet tribute of this song, too.)
The Kids Aren't Alright
Nine Inch Nails - Industrial/Alt. Rock
The Hand That Feeds
Eighteen Visions - Metalcore(old stuff)/Post-Grunge, -Hardcore
Victim
Avenged Sevenfold - Metalcore(old stuff)/Hard Rock/Heavy Metal
Unholy Confessions (Old Stuff)
Bat Country (New Stuff)
