Great to see Mike Patton's stuff getting a mention here. I love the new Tomahawk album, fave one off it at the mo is probably the opening track: Oddfellows.
^^^^I just can't figure it out. I'm feeling a bit stupid at the moment, and that's me working with another tab showing me what to do!
Aww, I can never remember how to do it either!
I just go to advanced reply, write my song - artist, right click and highlight it then go to the wee link thing at the top and type the youtube address in there.
Hope that makes sense, I know now't about computer terminology.
It was a big hit for them in Sweden - got to no1 in 2008 :cool:
When's the last time a metal track did that here?
It happens in Finland and Germany, too. It's common to find metal bands in their album charts, and sometimes there's a breakthrough into their singles charts.

Rock probably gets airplay in those countries.
Remember when the UK used to have the coolest music scene in Europe? What happened? When did we get stuck in this endless cycle of MOR/Easy listening/kiddie pop?

It's embarrassing
Yep, I remember when I first got into metal/hard rock in the late 70's/early 80's groups like AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Rainbow, Judas Priest, Motorhead etc were regulars in the charts and on Top of the Pops and I still have many of their singles and picture discs.
I like all kinds of music but I usually say that rock/metal is my favourite genre. No other type of music allows you to unleash such raw emotion, whether it's euphoria or rage. I especially like it because the lyrics can be deep and meaningful or just an excuse to have a good scream at the world, yet the music is still powerful.

I just posted THIS in the 'strangest cover songs' thread & it just occurred to me...even Finland has better music than we do. Finland! :eek: When the actual f*ck did that happen?
It's enough to drive you to drink. I'm having a large VODKA!
*dances like a loon*
I think I'll follow it up with a shot of Tequila *bounces round room like an idiot*
My music collection of rock music goes from Classic Rock with the likes of Whitesnake, Deep Purple, Led Zepplin through to the likes of Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth, Guns N'Roses, Dream Theater, Neal Morse, Spock's Beard, Transalantic, OSI, ZZ Top, Aerosmith, Def Leppard, Queen, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Flying Colors, BIG Big Train, Marillion just to name a few.

I think you'll fit in this thread just fine :cool:. Why not post some of your favourite tracks?:)

Did you ever see Fish when he acted in Taggart? he played a real nasty b*stard but was very convincing
I'm not great on the modern bands but Devin Townsend has restored my faith in rock music.The sheer diversity and humour in his work...
I loved his Ocean album, it had a huge sound. Another current band I like is Boom Boom Satellites from Japan. Not straight ahead hard rock (there's electronica and indie in there too), but they know the importance of a good riff .
You know what, Slipknot is one of those bands who have been around forever, yet I've never once checked them out. That's the first time I've actually heard them. I doubt I'll be doing it again. Sorry.

I'm only young, so I only became interested in music in the mid-2000s, and Finland has always been one of my favourite musical countries (not just for rock & metal, either, although being my favourite genres definitely helps Finland's prestige).

I've been getting back in to Kyuss recently, 50 Million Year Trip and Freedom Run are particularly immense!

Mad Season - Locomotive (feat. Mark Lanegan)

Two tracks I usually rely on are:
Sepultura 'Roots Bloody Roots'

Soil 'Halo'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFc-2aNZ6VY
I also have fond memories of seeing metal bands live and headbanging so much that my neck is sore the next day. Good times.

Amaranthe - The Nexus
And have enjoyed a lot of the Scandinavian melodic metal over the last few years, such as this sort of thing:
Kamelot - The Great Pandemonium
Evergrey - A Touch of Blessing
Everything Ends http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBeF6Bcn0Yw

Broken Mirror
Easy Action
Intergalactic
Shut Up And Explode
Can't go wrong with those two. :cool:
Goblin Cock - Stumped

Chek this one out, will surprise you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXEKuttVRIo
I love Korpiklaani - great fun.
I'm only young, so I only became interested in music in the mid-2000s, and Finland has always been one of my favourite musical countries (not just for rock & metal, either, although being my favourite genres definitely helps Finland's prestige).
I've tried a couple of Amaranthe songs but I've never been able to get into them. I don't like the clean male vocalist.
I'm a big fan of Kamelot.
