I'll start by pimping Gojira. Listen to all of Magma or all of From Mars to Sirius. Have you heard the new Burn The Priest? Legion XX is a Lamb of God side project with all cover songs, including The Melvins and Bad Brains. Killswitch is a good band if you like a real singer instead of a growler. I'd go through their YouTube videos. I bet you'll find stuff you like.

As for punk and hardcore, these are bands that are newer / more recent that rock:

Off!
Jello Biafra and The Guantanamo School of Medicine
The Hives
Pins of Light
Crystal Fairy

Awesome. Thanks. Although Im not a huge Dead Kennedys fan, I will check out all of those bands. And is that Off, the same as the Descendents spin off 

Anyway, heard something I liked this morning. Looked down and saw it was Jamey jasta from Hatebreed. Made sense. I guess he has a solo thing. Ill check that out 

 
So it's probably old news, but I just saw Ozzy on another family reality show.  What happened there?  He cant even do the burnt out rocker schtick any more, and he looks like Bruce Jenner.

Royal Blood tonight.  My first live show since Tool a couple years ago.  Pretty stoked.

This was fantastic.  More hard rock than metal, but extremely talented two piece band.  Awesome show.  Front-man typically plays just a bass guitar for most of the songs, but the sounds he makes are amazing.  Brilliant musician.  They played for nearly two hours.  My neck is still sore.

Opener was TurboWolf from the UK.  They were interesting and fun.  Not really my speed, but entertaining for sure.

Royal bloods first release is a masterpiece...the newer one didnt really grab me....

 
Saw Jello Biafra's 60th birthday concert last night in San Francisco.

60 years old, and still one of the best hardcore shows in the world.

Kind of in same boat, but I still like it in non-metal sources like a recent M83 song with a Steve Vai solo as the outro.

Oooo that sounds good. I like M83.

I agree. When a regular song has a tasty guitar solo. But having survived all that guitar competitiveness as a youth, I'm glad to leave that behind me.

Q: How many guitarists does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: 50. One to screw it in and 49 to say they could have done it faster.

I know it does not really fit in here, but since you mentioned it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3YZTYXftzg

I was into wankery for 30 years, but now I'm relieved when bands omit guitar solos.

I have yet to reach that point.I actually enjoy the break of the solos to soak in how good of a musician these guys(and gals)are.Some are very creative and others are just bland and very generic.

And for the love of god,go see Steve Vai live!

 
Damn it, man. Vinnie was one of the truly good guys. Did a black tooth with him and Dime after a Damageplan show back in '03. Most down to earth, warm MFers I've ever met. Just the 30 seconds I spent with them at an autograph booth was enough to see that. Sucks that they're both gone.

I just bought the new Judas Priest and see they will pass thru my town later this summer. Has anyone seen them on this tour yet?

Saw them with Saxon and Black Star Rider in Portland,OR. Crappy venue. Couldn't make out the vocals for the first 2 through the wall of noise. Priest was very good though. Put on a great show with Halford still hitting the high notes. Seeing Tipton on the encores was a pleasant surprise as well.

 
yep, got drunk at the lake on Saturday night and listened to pantera and hellyea all night.   Really wanted to see hellyea again this summer too :kicksrock:

 
In a 2014 interview with "The Jasta Show", Vinnie Paul lamented the fact that the "fun side of rock and roll" seemed to be missing from many of the tours, with most musicians preferring to relax on their buses and catch up with their loved ones instead of partaking in the kind of debauchery that was embraced in the '80s and most of the '90s.

"The bands that are out here these days are not like what they used to be, and it really does affect you being able to get tours and stuff," Vinnie said. "I mean, you cannot go around being the GUNS N' ROSES kind of party band that used to be out there."

Vinnie, whose band HELLYEAH had just completed a U.S. tour as the support act for FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH at the time of the interview, continued: "I mean, I still drink every night and I love it, but it wouldn't be good for me to go stumbling into FIVE FINGER's dressing room skunk drunk and blowing shots up for everybody, because it's gonna possibly affect their performance. People have a lot on the line with these tours these days, and they really don't want that fun side of rock and roll. I mean, it's scary to me, man."

He added: "I remember, in 1999, when we did the last Ozzfest that we were part of, and I think DISTURBED was on it, STATIC-X, obviously Ozzy, us, and we were the only band on the tour that had a rider that had any alcohol. Nobody else had it. And I'm, like, what is going on? I mean, this is '99. And I'm trippin', and I'm, like, 'Man, this ain't what it used to be.' These guys finish their set, they go out to their bus and play Nintendo or call their girlfriends. What happened to rock and roll, man? I'm out going to titty bars every night, I'm out going to rock bars, I'll sit in and jam with bands, I'm drinking my ### off. Once I'm done, I'm done. I'm ready to have a good time.

"The most important thing about drinking on the road is just you've gotta do it in moderation, first of all," he said. "You've gotta know your limits. Don't wake up with a bottle of vodka in your hand. You wake up every day and rehydrate yourself and get ready for that concert, That's the most important thing. You cannot give people your hundred percent when you're wasted up there; it just doesn't work, man."

After host Jamey Jasta told Vinnie that the drummer possessed a "superhuman"-like alcohol tolerance, Vinnie said: "Knock on wood, I haven't had any liver problems or anything yet. But I drink a lot of water; I drink vodka and water. And I drink Pedialyte and I drink pickle juice and I do all these things that rehydrate me from the alcohol. Vodka is much easier on your system than dark whisky and stuff. So I think that enables me to be able to be 'superhuman,' but I think if other people did the same kind of regimen, it wouldn't be so hard on them. But I see people all the time that don't drink and they'll go out and just blow their head off and it wipes them out for two or three days."

More than a decade after witnessing the murder of his brother, "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, while they were both playing at a club in Ohio, Vinnie Paul told the "Talk Is Jericho" podcast that he still felt " like a 19-year-old kid. Everything I do, I approach the same way," he said. "I'm not married. I don't have any kids. I've been married to music my entire life. I've been dedicated to it. I know what it takes to do it. And ever since my brother has been taken from me, I feel like I have to live for both of us. And I bring it everywhere I go, everything I do, and I think he's here with us, watching us and enjoying everything that's going on, man."

While it's hard to see them continuing with the tour, no announcement has been made. Maybe they can find someone to fill in, like Portnoy did with avenged sevenfold after the Rev died.

So I am holding out hope. I have tickets to louder than life in Louisville at the end of September, and they are scheduled to play. It's what Vinnie would have wanted.
