Yeah I agree on the SOTD and deftones comment. I like some of it but not like grunge back in the hay day. Could you post links to those new bands you like. I never heard of most of them.

mastodon are a kinda hardcore/classic/grindcore metal band.

isis are a post-metal band or whatever you wanna call them.

these bands are fairly uncommercial with unusual song structures and arrangements. enjoy.

All this can really fall under the umbrella of hard rock. And maybe its just me, but, with the exception of Queens of the Stone Age, the hard rock genre has not produced anything remotely interesting in ten years.

I know what your saying. Yeah there has not been as many good bands in the last ten years.

There have been some good bands in the last ten years how about

goodsmack (self titled, awake), korn (issues), aperfect circle,

some good records by veterans

RHCP (californiacation, by the way)
PJ (all of them since 1996)
STP (stp #4)
TOADIES (hell below stars above, live)
Rob Zombie (all of his)
Weezer (green)
Tool (laterus rocked)

i agree i've found hard rock pretty boring in the last ten years. invariably my favourite artists of the last ten years have come from outside the hard rock genre.

best bands and musicians of last ten year imo:
sigur ros (post-rock)
fiona apple (singer-songriter)
mastodon (metal)
isis (metal)
jesu (metal)
...and you will know us by the trail of dead (somewhat hard rock) (indie rock)
mars volta (prog)
at the drive-in (post-hardcore)
glassjaw (post-hardcore)
death cab for cutie (indie)
queens of the stone age (hard rock)
a perfect circle (alt rock)
tool (my favourite tool material was released since 1996) (prog rock)
system of a down (alt metal)
deftones (alt metal)
willy mason (folk)
arctic monkeys (indie rock)


there are others i just can't think of them

I disagree with that. There are plenty of great bands doing very interesting things, I just don't think any of them are doing it in the hard rock genre, except QOTSA.

i´m getting tired when people says new rock generation totally sucks....
i born in ´81 and grew up listening and loving 90 rock bands, and i don´t think that 80´s and ´00 rock bands suck at all...

there´s many bands playing good rock music: qosta, audioslave´´it´s so hard in music get good support and good reviews of people when you start any project in your 37, 39 years.... velvet revolver, soad, foo fighters, the white stripes, a perfect circle, tool, deftones, death for cutie, deftones, trivium...

Oh here we go again :rolleyes:
