Classic rock bands

Former Member

Im looking for new inspiration and music,I seem to generally listen to the same bands all the time,learning the same songs on guitar and Im getting bored now.
I want something fresh and new.

Im into Guns N Roses,Ozzy,Led Zep,Slayer,bit of Metallica,Cinderella,AC/DC...all the classic rock bands.
Its my favourite music so if anyone can post a few more rock bands kind of along these lines or even completely different Id be very grateful and will check them out.

I always seem to forget Deep Purple!!
Are you learning off tabs or by ear notanotherusername!?

Im not really into Muse to be honest,I feel I should like them.......but I dont.

Im more into the older classic bands,most music these days really doesnt interest me.

Ever watch the show Supernatural? That's the kind of music I like. Kansas, BOC, Styx ... actually I like most music, but if you need to wake yourself up in the morning you gotta go back to the 70's and 80's.

My thread! I remember when these bands were still releasing new songs that you kids think of as classic

Dio, Sabbath, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Who (natch), Motley Crue, Kiss, Whitesnake...

Shit, perhaps I should get a list my record collection?

NB Anyone who mentions Muse, youmeatatsix or anyone else who have only been around for less than ten years really don't understand the definition of "classic"

(Even though the music is good, it's not classic, yet)

Former Member

Iron Maiden, Aerosmith, rolling stones, kiss, the who

Former Member

Drive-By Truckers.

I became very disturbed the other day when I was informed that 90's music now counts as old.
90's music!
Does this mean we get a new decade for the DJ's on the local rock station? Take us back to the good ol' NINETIES over the lunch hour?
*moans*

Every Rose and Talk Dirty To Me; quality tracks. Unskinny Bop is quite a good tune as well. Despite my love of all things thrash (Slayahhrrrrr!) I do have a bit of a soft spot for a bit of hair metal now and then. I guess not having been in the LA scene at the time, I don't have to take sides

Also forgot;

Pantera
Twisted Sister
The Clash
Scorpions
MC5
Rainbow
Rush (pre-prog; the early stuff - the Caress of Steel and Rush albums, when they were trying to be a II-era Led Zep; listen to the version of Working Man from the R30 album on Spotify - I'd forgotten just how amazing Rush are)

And something for the young'uns:

Clutch
Kyuss
Primus
Zico Chain
Dropkick Murphys
