What, all 4 of you are interested !! EVH will be universally popular in the metropolis of Farr my man.

[guitarzan]

count me in as bein interested - i'll be keepin my ears out for both the metallica and van halen offerings as these guys were both major influences on me when i first picked up a guitar.

i'm not so heavily into them as days gone by, but it doesn't mean i dont wanna hear what they have to offer.

searchin for the new school doesn't mean you have to abandon the old school IMHO

<P>Van Halen was immense, re defined guitar playing in 1977 - 1980 period, first 2 albums absolutely lethal, in my opinion were a truly great influential band. ( Mind you the large raft of&nbsp;imitators were total crap ) Never got Metallica, never ever saw&nbsp;what their contribution to music&nbsp;was / is&nbsp;! Any thoughts on new stuff from recent bands&nbsp;for 2008 ?</P>

The guy is now 52, the average 52 year old's drinking in a Thurso boozer are also potential time bombs. Hey Jeid just had a thought, you mus be into grand dad rock lol lol lol !!

[Metalattakk]

Oi! Nothing wrong with some 'Grandad Rock'.

Take a look at Heaven & Hell for some 60-odd-year-olds still playing crushing heavy metal that the kids of today would struggle with.

[zappster]

[the_big_mac]

Aye, im sure rob's just waiting for the new "best pipes and drums album in the world ever" or something!

You still havent told us of anything your looking forward too.

And, Airbourne are a new band, with a debut album. Opeth aint exactly mainstream, actually, I bet you aint even heard of them?

So what is your point exactly rob? There are 5 of us posting on this thread that like Metal and Hardrock, im sure it may progress ahould more people actually contribute???

Rob loves pipes and drums... in fact, it's his favouritest ever!

Nah, Rob's a bit of a rocker. He was a punk in his day (before punk was cool that is...)

I think I know one album he's looking forward to this year

Greenday?

[JamesMcVean]

Its got to be ACDC...it is LONG overdue! The PLUG ME IN BOX SET IS BRILLIANT!

And I am looking forwrd to hearing more from local lads Astronot!

Not sure if I would bother with Metallica....St Anger was pants, but heard on another forum that EXODUS have released something!! Remember them on the jukebox in the Moonshine Rockbar in Scapa House(RIP)...aaaahhh the good old days...

If some of you young uns look up a CD - Exodus - Fabulous Disaster!!!

If it is ACDC Soundalikes you are into - Check out Rhino Bucket and Rose Tattoo...Like metalattakk says - Like ACDC but not quite as good...but at least you wont have to endure the mindnumbing Angus solos!!! Deedeeleeeleeldee...
LOL

Cheers, never heard of these bands, stopped the Kerrang when I was 12 But thanks for the information, and due to the power of the internet found these :
Airbourne : http://www.airbournerock.com/index.php?page=Index
Opeth : http://www.opeth.com/

Both shockingly unoriginal ( Swedish prog metal...lol lol lol ). I will admit that if I was 12 or 13 I would possibly be carving Airbournes logo into school desks though !!Pipes and drums, great soul stirring ,emotive, real music, try some yersel. My point was to question the validity of EVH / Metallica as "new" in 2008, logical if you think about it. Oh and by the way, according to Malcolm Young, AC DC were a blues based hard rock band, never in a million years were they "metal". I am looking forward to the following in 2008 :

The Pipes and Drums of The Royal Regiment of Scotland ( my bruvs the drum major )
Jimmy Shand : Old Waltzes
Robbie Shepherd : Old time scottish dance music
Sydney Devine

There ye go eh !

[Jeid]

Jimmy Shand LOL!

New albums, not new bands min. That aint my point. It is simply the album your most looking forward too in 2008, not the new radio hyped rubbish artic monkeys of 2008.

I should probably admit now that I used to play in a pipeband, so i take that back.

[Jeid]

Yeah Rob... get it rught up ye lol lol lol

Grandad rock should be right up your street you old timer

Hrm... I don't have a clue who's releasing an album this year actually. Muse might... that'd be superb!

The music on New American Gospel has quickly become both essential and classic metal material, having already helped to revitalize and re-inspire the New Wave of American Heavy Metal and forever leaving its mark on the worldwide metal scene. With the band’s brand of death-influenced thrash metal with hardcore grooves, LAMB OF GOD continues to wave the flag for uncompromisingly heavy music

"Re inspiring the new wave of American Heavy Metal" ...great marketing speak..this stuff is minority sport, a bit like champion midget throwing competitions... new wave of american heavy metal lol lol lol lol

[Jeid]

I like the stuff I'm listening to just now better tbh

Plus... Death-influence thrash metal is a good way of getting yourself in the frame of mind to put up with all the potential time bombs at work today.

Midget throwing? You'll not be liking that Rob... being a midget
