One called Cruachan, they did some good stuff when they had a female vocalist, but the later stuff when she left was all growling vocals, which as you know is not my bag
I love Alestorm - they're one of the few newer bands that I like, as my normal favorites are 70's/80's classic hard rock/metal like AC/DC, Maiden, Priest, Sabbath, Motorhead, Rainbow, UFO, Praying Mantis, Alice Cooper and am also a big fan of German rock/metal acts like Accept, Doro, U,D,O., Running Wild, Pink Cream 69, Blind Guardian, Scorpions.
I must admit, I don't really 'get' Doro. Most of what I've heard seems a bit 'Bonnie Tyler does metal' to me. I have to thank her for writing Fur Immer though, even though the original doesn't do much for me. Warlock - Fur Immer

Used to have posters of Doro Pesch and Lita Ford on my wall
That's proper, good old-fashioned, blues based metal, isn't it? :cool: I thought the nwobhm had swept all that away. Haven't heard anything like that for years. Nothing that wasn't made in the 70s anyway.

The third track's my favourite btw.
Do i have a convert? i started a thread on it, died a death
Well, you like them & that's all that matters really, isn't it?
What genre is that btw? I thought it was the sound check at first. They all look like roadies
LOL! I can tell you think a lot if them! They seem to get called 'stoner rock' mostly. Maybe if you have a wee spliff you'll magically be converted, though perhaps not!
I love Kyuss. I don't mind John Garcia's vocals, but their music was the really special bit. It's like the desert on record
Yay! I found one! Yes, the riffs and the bass are great, really heavy grooves. 'The desert on record' is a great description of them. And John's not the worst, but I do find his voice pretty grating at times, thankfully I love the music so much it doesn't really matter.

I just heard about a band that my friend from poland shared with me. They are called Squid Lickers and to be honest, I believe that with the right support they might get somewhere. What do you think rockers?

They are playing the Von Hertzen Brothers right now on Planet Rock.
I'm liking it.
The Von Hertzen Brothers are brilliant. I saw them @ High Voltage a couple of years ago and I've got most of their albums. Their latest album, Nine lives, from which Flowers and Rust is taken, came out on Monday and is highly recommended.
They are huge in their own country, Finland, where they get as much coverage in the mainstream media as a "manufactured vocal group" would in this country.

They were surprisingly entertaining, i would probably enjoy it more after a few pints (in a pewter tankard)

I'm sure a lot of guys did. Doro still looks great now

Lita Ford? Now there's a name I haven't heard in many years. I saw The Runaways live. They were pretty damn good :cool:
Listening to Wolf Man now. Bloody hell, have I fallen through a gap in time? Is it 1973? *is scared* :eek:

I could always take or leave John's vocals, but my God! What a gorgeous groovy racket! Josh Homme looks about twelve as well, aww!
Better than Slayer
Sorry, just a racket to me You weren't kidding about the vocals, :eek: Dreadful.
Still, it would be a boring old world if we all liked the same things, wouldn't it?
Haha no bother.. You're certainly not alone in you're thinking, I dunno any bugger that likes them though someone must!
Och well, I tried dammit!

I have my fingers posed over their cover of Doro's Fur Immer as I speak
I'm glad you started this thread too. It's the most fun I've ever had in the music forum
Post some of their stuff & we'll take a look.

I saw Doro on her tour last year and she is still a fine looking woman.
