This community rocks at this, so I create a playlist for all the artists that got mentioned. I'm sorry if I missed some, mostly due to how clumsy I am, or Spotify doesn't have the artists. One song per artist, and I will have the privilege to judge the best one :p Click here to rock on \m/

With a lot of terrible things happened around the world lately, I create this thread to make me (and hopefully you) feel lighter with some wholesomeness from the community.

There are 3 things that I absolutely can't live without: my dog, my guitar, and my iPod (yes, the classic clunky one). I recently got into Hard Rock/Metal and would love some songs suggestion to satisfy this appetite! My favourite bands at the moment include Machine Head and As I Lay Dying, so posting them would be cheating :p But I'm open up to any tunes really!

For the people who have (a) pets, please flaunt them! I would love to see your dearies, the ones that put a smile on you after long hard days. Down below is my pup Apollo, he is a black lab that eats literally everything (like his own poo, yikes...)

I'm also planning on buying a guitar if my job application got accepted. Hence, if you want, you can spoil me with your guitar pics too :p


Okay okay enough of me wanting things from you, here is a tiny gift from me to say thanks!
It is Batman Arkham: Origins. I put a lvl1 and jigidi (15 pieces) in there just to prevent bots.


P/s: I'm not very active on the forum so I won't be able to reply to every comment, but know that I appreciate you, ok :^) ? Great day!

Edit: For anyone that don't know what to do with the code, it belongs here:

Don't have my guitar right now to take a picture, so here's a doom metal classic from Sleep, one of the greatest stoner doom bands of all time. It's an hour long spiritual journey into the riff filled land. Heavily recommend to just sit down and soak it in. I don't smoke, but if you do it's encourage that you do it before listening.

This video was my first contact with King Gizzard and it made me skeptical, the song felt campy and repetitive. But it left me intrigued and I was coming over and over again, 'cause my weakness for campy and weird stuff and also to annoy my girlfriend :P And after a few weeks I fell in love with this band. Now I see they genius and creativity!
Check these songs (and videos!) if you want to:
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - People-Vultures
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - The River
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Slow Jam 1

If you're not into gay metal you should check out Stoner and Doom metal, maybe also Sludge metal. Just look up saviours living in the void, or high on fire, baroness, saint vitus, whatnot, there are too many excellent underground metal bands out there.

I have always been avoiding old school metal because I (somehow) thought that they are not hard enough... Boi was I wrong when I listened to Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. I think they deserve all the praise that they got.

Rock on!

Judas Priest and Iron Maiden are the old school that today sounds hard yet. Even Ronnie James Dio (RIP), who introduced the horn hand in the metal, sounded so hard in his last years

Queensrÿche is super dope! I only listened to Eye of the Stranger and Breaking the Silence and I'm already in love. Old metal certainly has a lot of charm

Let me start by saying you should give a listen to Kylesa, Tool, Baroness, Sleep, Om, Electric Wizard. Proposed them since/because of Machine Head.
If you indeed meant hard rock / metal as a genre, then it's back to the classics with Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin IV, Rainbow's first three albums, Cream,
Dio and Judas Priest from the top of of my head. I'd also recommend listening to some Rush and some Jethro Tull since they have parts that can only be
considered metal, even tho they are prog rock. Again, go for Sabbath's Master of Reality. Best album ever. :)
You could also try some Melvins as well as SunnO))) if you're feeling adventurous :P
P.S. Almost forgot, thanks for the giveaway :)

I'm a big fan of their earlier works, with Images and Words and Metropolis Pt. 2 being my favorite albums ever. They hit and missed in the past 15 years, but the last album is the only one I haven't bought (yet)... The Astonishing is actually a disappointment for me, especially after their "reboot" with the Dream Theater album in 2013, which was fantastic!
Anyway, nice to see someone else appreciating DT here! :D

Let me then suggest you to listen to the whole Images and Words album, and then A Change of Seasons (a 23 minutes song that was originally supposed to go with Images and Words but then was released separately), and then to Metropolis Part 2 (which expands on the song you already listened to, and it's organized in acts like a theatrical tragedy). If you can, follow the lyrics as well, some parts of these albums are so magic for me I can't even start to describe them. Enjoy!

Lol Common Denominator tho. As for Brutal Legend, I haven't played the game yet. But from the soundtrack so far, it makes me want to grab a copy right away haha.

Would you recommend the game?

The action-adventure parts are as good as most in the genre, but then it jumps into RTS battles at set points in the story. It really is a strange mashup of a game. I didn't enjoy the RTS battles. There were at least a couple that I had to attempt a dozen or so times. The soundtrack is great, even for someone who isn't a metal enthusiast, the mechanics are interesting, and it's funny. Overall, I'd recommend it, with strong reservations about the RTS sections.

Burp. Good luck.
Stay on the right side of the road, when turning at an intersection look at the median and don't go in the wrong lane & look out for old ladies in front of your car after you've checked the left side, right side and back mirror before flooring the pedal (RIP).

Don't make the same mistakes as I did.
