@thewisecrab
Yeah, like Eluvietie too... check out Mithotyn, Tyr, Dreamtale and Skyclad. Great stuff, particularly skyclad.
Love the way these bands mixed their mythology with the music.
Wish bands back here did it... most of em go only for black/death stuff with loads of growling and screaming.

I didnt like Tyr, will have a look at others.

I know it's n00bish as I have started trying rock these days. I liked AC/DC, Linkin Park, Aerosmith. Somthing in lines of these.

OK.
Iron Maiden, Breaking Benjamin, Eluvietie, Nine Inch Nails should do if you are looking for melodic yet heavy metal.
Check out Children Of Bodom for death metal (dont mind the lyrics, it's got great guitar riffs and keyboard solos)

 

[desiibond]

Thanks guys for recommendations.Let me try Iron Maide, Joe Satriani and Yngwie Malmsteen

 

[dreamcatcher]

Switchfoot maybe? Listen to Switchfoot's "Meant To Live" first.

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - "In Fate's Hands", "Misery Loves Its Company", "Seventeen Ain't So Sweet", "Waiting" }---------- If you're looking for something melodic!

And you can always try Three Days Grace - "Animal I Have Become", "I Hate Everything About You", "Pain".

Oh and I almost forgot -> A Static Lullaby.

DISCLAIMER: Don't flame me if the bands I mentioned don't fall into the 'pure' (is there such a thing?) metal genre as such.

From Iron Maiden, I'll recommend any song from any album (as all are great)
But if I do have to pick a few, I'd go with Hallowed Be Thy Name, Fear Of The Dark and The Number Of The Beast.

thewisecrab, Children of bodom, Lamb of god are like brothers, heavy guitaring... (they both sound alike )

Well guys here's THE news...

Guns N’ Roses to rock India in November

GUNS N' Roses, one of the most successful rock bands in world history, will be performing in India this November. The legendary rock band fronted by Axl Rose, have signed on to perform at the Palace Grounds in Bangalore, reported Contactmusic.
"It is true that we are bringing Guns N' Roses to India. As of now, I can tell you that the Bangalore concert has been confirmed. We're still in talks with people in Mumbai and Delhi, so let's hope that works out. However, there is a good chance we can take the band to Shillong as well," said Raj Sinha, director of Rhapsody Inc, the company organising the Bangalore concert.

(Economic Times, 11th Sept,2009, last page, bottom section)

BUT, when I visited their site there is no mention of this tour. Even there is no mention of tours beyond 2007
I can only say its a very badly managed site.

Bangaloreans cheer........ (why do all Rock bands come to B'lore only )

 

[esumitkumar]

^^ cuz blore crowd is young, energetic,most of IT junta is there plus its PUB CITY of Asia (har 10 kadam pe daaru ki dukaan)

 

[Anorion]

^noticed that too. I just counted around my grandmother's house in Bangalore. 1 medical shop, 2 temples, 1 school, 8 wine shops.
If GnR goes to Shillong, that would be a better option than going to Bangalore or Mumbai. Shillong is reputed to have a great local rock scene, but I have heard tell that some people do Bhangra instead of headbang. People in Bangalore rock concerts don't headbang or mosh, (some of them just stare fixatedly at the stage with barely a sign of movement) which is a mainstay of almost every concert in Mumbai, which is a little strange.
Btw, get hold of tracks from Dhwesha if possible - great Bangalore metal act.
Just a little excercise to compare India's taste against the world's... head over to last.fm and look at the most popular bands chalked up against India's most popular bands. When it comes to rock, we choose the older bands instead of the contemporary ones. When it comes to metal, we choose the harsher stuff instead of the tamer acts.

 

[XTerminator]

GnR sucks,Chinese democracy sucked.GnR is a band for n00bs.

 

[thewisecrab]

A big thank you for rhitwick for bumping this thread...

However, I must remind you, GnRs sucks big time without Slash, a highly over-rated band without him IMO.

Waiting for the official release of Endgame!
