Definitely not, as my afternoon has just brightened somewhat
Alter Bridge, a band I've wanted to see for a couple of years are touring later this year. Fuck yeah!

Saw them this weekend.
Mind = blown.

The support for them is Black Stone Cherry
And I've heard very good things about both.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 15 Jun 2011, 16:40, Reply)

I'm biased re BSC
But they are awesome.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Wed 15 Jun 2011, 16:52, Reply)

They're also being supported by Nickleback Lite (Theory Of A Deadman)
Going to be £30 though, fucking hell.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 15 Jun 2011, 16:58, Reply)

Nickleback lite is surely Mcfly?

Listen to Theory Of A Deadman, you'll see what I mean.

Wikipedia lost me at "Creed"
song recommendation please
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 15 Jun 2011, 16:48, Reply)

Metalingus, Isolation, Watch Over You and Blackbird.

(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Wed 15 Jun 2011, 16:49, Reply)

Metalingus is the only named track I know, but they're superb from everything I've heard.

Sounds pretty average , they're not really pushing any boundries
not awful though
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 15 Jun 2011, 16:53, Reply)

Try Black Stone Cherry.

(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Wed 15 Jun 2011, 16:56, Reply)

did they do that song Blind Man?
edit: google says yes, in which case I agree with Monty's judgement.

They're certainly no Clutch. Although Clutch's last album was a bit shit. They'd smoked too much draw I suspect.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 15 Jun 2011, 17:07, Reply)

Aye, they're not really breaking any new ground
But they're very good at what they do.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 15 Jun 2011, 16:59, Reply)

Both bands are highly rated by Classic Rock mag so I've had single tracks on their covermounted CDs.
Both I find OK in a non-wow way.

You are aware that this is NEW music?

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 15 Jun 2011, 17:09, Reply)

If something is new - but good* - that's fine by me. I'm not a complete imbecile.
*Jim Jones' latest band, for example. But on the whole the new bands I hear are just shit.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 15 Jun 2011, 17:12, Reply)

I agree, and while I'd quite like to share some of the bands I listen to, I'm aware that it's likely no one else will like them.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 15 Jun 2011, 17:14, Reply)

I'm always willing to listen to a new band
I might not like them, but it's unlikely that I'll lambast you for it.

I love hearing new stuff. 2 of my very favourite bands have been recommendations from people on here.

Details please

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 15 Jun 2011, 17:21, Reply)

Shakin' Stevens and The Goombay Dance Band.

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 15 Jun 2011, 17:27, Reply)

I frequently find myself put out that Planet Rock and other such classic rock type media
overlook bands like Bigelf and some of Clutch's output. and Black Mountain.

Outstanding bands that embody everything that the aforementioned media pupport to be about.

Most people don't have good taste.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 15 Jun 2011, 17:13, Reply)

very true
speaking of which, have you listened to Black Mountain yet?
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 15 Jun 2011, 17:15, Reply)

I've not. I might give them a YouTube this evening.

Last night I watched some Mahavishnu Orchestra live footage on YouTube.
It's technically impressive but a little bit pompous and flashy - but excellent musicianship - excellent rhythm section. I also listened to some live work John McLaughlin did with Carlos Santana - pretty trippy stuff and redolent of Steve Hillage at times. I found it more listenable than JM's solo noodling.
