What artists are you listening to that are NOT being played on the radio?

[cyberfret]

What artists are you listening to that are NOT being played on the radio? That means don't say Creed, Metallica, Blink 182, Clapton, Aerosmith etc. Be sure to include a link to that artist's web page so that we can check them out.

The music that is being played on the radio and MTV is such a small part of the music that is out there. There are a lot of independent record labels and artist that create some great music. It takes more effort on the part of the listener to search out these artists. Being exposed to the mainstream music is very easy...just turn on the radio or TV. But with a little effort on your part you can find some great music that you would never have found by just letting the radio dictate your listening habits.

Most of what I listen to falls in this category, but here is one of my favorites.

Spock's Beard

[Elmo45]

Would B.B. King count?

www.bbking.com

[cyberfret]

According to my definition BB King would fit. He is not played very much on the radio. But now here is my challenge to you. BB King is to blues what the Beatles are to rock. If you were to ask most people to name 5 blues guitar players, he would be in most people's list. And for some, he might be the only blues guitarist that they know by name. He is the brand name of the blues. Your homework is to seek out some other blues players......I'm a teacher, I always give homework :)

SteelSlider has a list of a few in this post
http://www.cyberfret.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?threadid=19

One of my favorites is Johnny Winter
http://www.johnnywinter.com

Here is a link to the All Music Guide. I think this is a great resources for learning about styles and artists. Click on the blues link on the main page, and do some searching. Then download some songs from someplace like MusicCity.com. If you find some artists that you like, buy some CDs and you have expanded your listening range. If you like BB, there are a lot of artist that you will like.

All Music Guide
http://allmusic.com/

If you decide to take this challenge, be sure and let us know what you find.....a blues quest.

--Shawn

[SteelSlider]

Actually, Shawn, that link I posted it to a Blues Forum I live on just a bit longer that I do here. Hee, hee.

Here is a link of some of my favorites that I listen to alot.

It's more of a Bio of the old and new blues artists.

Shawn, this is a weird coincidence...

I was over doing my moderator thing over at Journey's site, and we have one forum for just (non-Journey) chit-chat, just a hang-out of sorts, called the "Water Cooler," and one of the threads was labeled:

"Getting To Know The Bands" SPOCK'S BEARD

I'm thinking, where have I heard that name before?... just recently, too. Then I thought, wasn't that the band Shawn mentioned...? LOL

Yep... it was... (So, when I hear of the same band twice in a week, does this mean I really do need to check them out???)

Here's the link to the Spock's Beard thread in the "Water Cooler"
http://www.journeymusic.com/ubb/Forum6/HTML/004868.html

[ESP_Viper]

Well I have never heard Pantera on the radio (probaby because of the language) and I am a Pantera fan. I also like Dream Theater, they had a radio single back in like 1991, but they aren't main-stream radio by anymeans. I also like old sepultura, especially the Arise album.

I forgot the web links
www.dreamtheater.net
www.pantera.com

The new sepultura isn't very good compared to the days of 'Arise' so it's not worth even looking for a website of theirs.

[cyberfret]

Doni, you will love Spock's Beard :)

Put great song writing with great musicianship and you have Spock's Beard. You can check out some sound clips on their site. And if you buy a CD, start with "Beware of Darkness". They have 5 CDs and I love them all, but that is the one I would suggest as a first. They are progressive rock, so there is some technical aspects of the music.....like Rush, or Kansas. But very song oriented at the same time.

Spock's Beard

--Shawn

[E-string]

Okay, okay, Shawn... I'll go check out Spock's Beard!!! :D (Seems like several people have pretty good things to say about them.)

[beagles65]

I like a lot of the punk bands that are not played on the radio--Screeching Weasel, Misfits, Operation Ivy, Dead Kennedys, Against All Authority, and Anti Flag, just to name a few.

[AnUprightMan]

i am into a lot of the jambands

string cheese incident
moe
disco biscuits
phish
greatful dead
the big wu
trey anstasio solo
adison groove project

the dead are the only band with any real radio presence

[kitara]

Well, I listen to Slipknot, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Type O Negative and others. I haven't heard this bands on the radio yet, I just saw them a few times on a little music-channel on TV ... but not on MTV.

[cyberfret]

kitara...In United States Tool, A Perfect Circle, and Slipknot do actually get a lot of air play. It may be that in Germany they are less in the mainstream than in the US. I really like Tool and A Perfect Circle myself....but definitely mainstream and on the radio where I live. Type O Negative fits more the category of bands I am looking for. I don't think I have heard them on the radio before. But I do have quite a few student that listen to them.

Are there some good German bands that you can direct us to? And not Rammstein :)

--Shawn

[E-string]

Okay, quick trip over here since I'm on the computer... :D

It took me a little while, and I haven't made a big dent in the list, 'cause there are so many, but I have now listened to quite a few of those music clips on Spock's Beard's site. :D

Shawn, that's scary when you have at least some clue to the kind of stuff I like, but I admit, I do like the music I'm hearing from Spock's Beard. I just may have to put them on my CD "To Buy" list...

***

Well, I can't say I have any bands I can think of that would fit into this category. LOL...for someone who moderates on a rock band's forum boards, I honestly haven't done much music listening as of late (not even to the band whose forums I moderate). Time to make time for the music, I guess... but time gets so scarce.

I know of a couple of fairly well-known musicians known for their work in rock bands, who have great SOLO albums that will probably NEVER make it onto most radio, or be heard of by the general public, but even that doesn't exactly fit into what you're asking for.

[Sunday]

Ok- here it is: www.geraldcollier.com

I picked up this cd from the dollar bin at record archive, which I do all the time just to find new stuff that I might like. If you don't like it, then hey, it's just a dollar. (Sorry, 10 10 220.) So I pick up this guy's cd, and hear the first track... well, here were my reactions...

Track One- That's a sad topic, but still very nice quality.
Track Two- Wow, what a poignant song. I wish I could play acoustic guitar like that!
Track Three- OH MY GOD! That is the most beautiful song I have heard in a long long time!!
Track Four- TELL ME WHERE TO BUY THIS CD!!!!
Track Five- *sniff, sniff* That... is.. soooo.... gorgeous!!!!! *sobbing helplessly over talent of gerald collier*

End of demo- What? You can only buy it on the internet? MOM!! Can I borrow your credit card??

check it out on napster or something :D it's all acoustic and very natural sounding, and I liked it a lot... I recomend the song "Fearless" as well.

[stupididiot]

the new rock they play on the radio sux, so i had to find music elsewhere that fit my tastes
heres top 4 (yes 4) bands i've been listening to


4 floater (although am getting tired of lead singers voice)
3 string cheese incident (very talented musicians)
2 modest mouse
1 mogwai

[iommi]

Check out Deep purple and Ritchie Blacmore at
http://www.deep-purple.com

[cyberfret]

iommi.... Deep Purple is a great group, and Ritchie Blackmore is a great guitar player....but they are definitely played on classic rock radio stations. Smoke on the water, Highway Star....and I have heard a couple of others. Now if you said Blackmore's Night ...Ritchie's new project. Then this would count.

Blackmore's Night
http://www.blackmoresnight.com

Are there any band or artists that are not in the main stream that you are listening to? Those are the ones we are searching for here.

--Shawn

[kitara]

Originally posted by cyberfret

--Shawn

Yeah, there are (and they don't sound like Rammstein:-)):

For all the little punks out there, I would suggest "Die Aerzte" or "Die Toten Hosen". Ok, both sing mostly in German, and the "spirit" of Die Aerzte comes a lot from their songtexts, so it would be better to speak German to understand it all (if you can, it'll be really funny). They don`t always sound like typical punk music, because they also have songs based on percussion or things like that, but the music is cool.
Die Toten Hosen did (as far as I know) two English songs:
"Raise your voice"- a cooperation with Bad Religion
and "Pushed again". Both songs (and many others) are really cool.

You should also check out the Guano Apes and the Donots. They are doing more the straight Rock thing, with a bit Crossover mixed in. The Guano Apes have a female frontman with an incredible voice. There exist some other "German-Rockbands-with-female-frontmans-shouting-it-out-loud", e.g. Die Happy, Eat No Fish, but in my opinion they aren't so good ... .

As "easy-listening" bands, I'd suggest Liquido or Myballoon, it's not my favoured music style, but they are ok.

We also have got some of these Limp Bizkit-like bands, for example 4lyn(n? don't know the exact written way), I think, you can listen to them, but they are not very amazing.

And we've got some good Heavy Metal bands. Perhaps you've already heard of Kreator? Or the Inchtabokatables, which do something like "Middle Age"-Metal. Blind Passengers are alright.
(If any body wants to know more German HM-bands, then tell me, we've got a local radio channel which sends some HM ...)

Last but not least, don't forget the Scorpions (well that might be something for the older generation), I absolutely don't like them, but as far as I know, they are one of the few German Rockbands that got known "over there".

All in all, German Rock is alright but not always amazing, German HipHop is good, too (DJ Tomekk might be known ... but I suppose this is not the right forum for HipHop)

By the way, would you call the Hellacopters, Weezer or Kittie mainstream? They just came to my mind ...

I forgot some good bands:
Oomph! (ok ... that's Rammstein-like)
Uncle Ho (Alternative-Grunge-Rock or something like this, I'd say)
Böhse Onkelz ( really cool Heavy Metal, some people say they are fascistic, but they are absolutely NOT)

[Sunday]

soemething I didn't know- after the album that I had, I Had To Laugh Like Hell, gerald collier (who is something of a miserable musician) became a country artist. Not that I have anything against country, it just isn't my thing. Well then, that's all for now...

[jaytee]

hallo kitara!

hey i was interested in die Toten Hosen.....
i first heard of them back in 1990....when i was in Kempen (near Krefeld) i saw a green wagon with a big "die Toten Hosen" stamped on the side in a big circle....
the kids we were with said it was a band and that they were pretty good...but we never got to hear them....
ever since then ive thought about that car and what they were like...but i dont know where to pickup a cd....(maybe i should look online huh)....anyways....they really are that good huh? i think its way past time i checked them out....

--jt

[jaytee]

hey everybody...

i dunno if this is going to be my most genius post....but its an idea...
i have satellite tv...and on it we have like 30 some music stations...not videos...its just music...
i had someone at my house and it was playing....we dont use our radio much....even in the car....
but my guest was like...."what do they do..play the stuff nobody listens too?"
i was like.."i guess...i dunno...."
anyhow....the channels have a website....called musicchoice.com where you can buy cd's of what you hear....if you go there and hit buy music then search these bands...it sends you to cdnow....and you can hear clips of the music...
i didnt search ALL the bands listed..but so far ive found alot of listings for string cheese incident and die Toten Hosen...i thought this was interesting...and you can buy the cd right there....
anyhow...just a suggestion for anybody who wants to hear what everyone else is talking about...

--jt

[Zero]

I decised to go check out spock's beard today when i had some time... All I can say is Great :D! they do a really good job. It takes a lot to get something like that out of me too. I am very opinionated about my music.

I must say (agree with others), here in Canada, the music they play on the radio sucks! There is only one good station, especially for rock, and even then, it plays a lot of pop, and so called "light rock". I drives me nuts.

I wish that there was a station for each type of music. I know which one would be listened to the most... ROCK!!! not light rock either... to make a joke on all of you americans out there, it's like comparing Canadian beer to American beer.... Same thing, but sort of watered down, and not so good :p

I am fairly young, not legal drinking age yet, but i can and have drunk several americans under the table, because they say our beer is "crazy" and we Canadians are insane :)

Anybody wanna say anything about this comment?

[steve]

I like older music personally:

Led Zepplin
Ozzy Ozbourne/black sabbath
Metallica
Red hot chili peppers (well I know they are new but they've been out since the 80's and I like their early CD's)

I've also been listening to a band called Liquid tension experiment...... and I'm trying to find some more good music.

[cyberfret]

Steve....Led Zeppelin, Ozzy Osbourne/black sabbath, Metallica, Red hot chili peppers all get massive air play. They definitely do not fit in this category we are looking for. We are exploring bands that are not in the mainstream.

Liquid Tension Experiment on the other had fits very much into what we are looking for. LTE is made up mostly of the members of a band call Dream Theater. So that is a band you might want to check out. You can find info about LTE and other Dream Theater spin off projects on the Dream theater page.

jaytee....that is a great idea. It is a great way to explore different styles, and hear new groups. I don't have that available on my cable connection anymore......I downgraded my package since I never watch TV :)

Here is another great way to hear new music.....Internet radio stations.

Check out Live365.com. There are thousands of stations geared toward all styles. You can even create your own radio show.

[E-string]

This may qualify... at least in parts of the United States (they certainly don't get played on the radio where I am!).

I am a big fan of Scottish folk music, and Celtic music in general, and I have several CD's by the Scottish folk band Capercaillie. They probably do get some airplay in the UK, but I think they are still fairly unheard of in this country, except among Celtic music and/or folk music fans...

Their music is part instrumental, part vocal... Some of the vocal tracks are in English, some in Scottish Gaelic.

If any of you have the soundtrack to the movie of Rob Roy, they were on that (lead singer Karen Matheson was the ceilidh singer in the movie).

Their website is http://www.capercaillie.co.uk/

[AnUprightMan]

I posted this in another thread

but this site rocks

http://www.hearlive.com

[stupididiot]

mogwai is scottish rock music.

[disturbed_pyro]

I like:
Rammstein
System of a Down
Led Zeppelin
Santana
Static X
Powerman 5000
Jimi Hendrix

Some bands I have heard are good, but haven't had a chance to hear cuz they aren't played on the radio:
Slayer
Steve Vai
Joe Satriani
Lynard Skynard
Pink Floyd
Sepultura
Judas Priest
Morbid Angel
etc

[steve]

John Frusciante maybe the guitarist of a band in the mainstream but his solo project defintaly isn't, I like his music but his vocal seems to not be as great as it could be. If you can ignore the lyrics then it really is good.

[disturbed_pyro]

by the way, what's wrong with Rammstein?

[KoRn]

My favourite band is Korn but they are never played on the radio. I don't know if they are played in the U.S. or in other countries but in my homecountry i have never heard them on the radio. And it is also impossible to see something about them on TV(a long time ago i saw a short report about them and they played their videoclips but that's all).

[KoRn]

Check out www.korn.com

[cyberfret]

Actually here in the US Korn is a very mainstream band, and is played a lot on the radio. That is just kind of funny how that works. Then there are bands like Dream Theater who are big in different parts of Europe, but here in the US get no attention.

What are the rock bands that are getting a lot of radio play in Austria. And are there any good Austrian rock bands you could tell us about?

--Shawn

[kitara]

Hey KoRn,

There is a German music TV channel called Viva2. As far as I know, you can receive it in Austria, too. Perhaps ya know it. Check out 2Rock, which sends lots of un- and wellknown stuff. They play Korn as well (ok not often at the moment ... ).

[SkewerOfDreams]

I'm listening to Hed PE, Flickerstick, The Cure, Tori Amos covering different artist, Cold, Stroke 9 and many many others...


I'm actually starting to like a lot of the newer brit bands especially Cold Play and Travis isn't bad.....I havent jumped on the RadioHead bandwaggon yet even though I have their first album....

[KoRn]

Hi kitara!
I know VIVA2 and sometimes i watch 2Rock but i have never seen something about Korn.Now i try to see it more often.Thank you for the advice.
Danke
KoRn

[KoRn]

Hello Shawn!
Here in Austria they play a lot of Nu-metal stuff like Linkin Park, Papa Roach, Limp Bizkit. Metallica and U2 are also played very often.
I am sorry but i can't tell you something about good Austrian rock bands.Maybe there are some but they are not famouse and i don't know them.

[Sjonesmusic]

I'll let his site speak for his music...

[Chugga-Chugga]

NO ZAKK WYLDES BLACK LABEL SOCIETY. NOT EVEN THE SINGLE - COUNTERFEIT GOD - I MAY BE LISTENING TO THE WRONG STATION, BUT ALL I GET IS 'LIMP DICK' AND '****KNOT' etc...

Even TotalRock on Digital radio ( i live in the UK) plays Nu-Metal (that AINT metal) or Death Metal.


Jeez that pisses me off!

:mad:




HeHe:D

[Andrew]

I love all Jeff Beck stuff, from the yardbirds up to his newest album.Dont know if they played yardbirds on the radio when they were around, but they certainly dont play any of his new stuff.

www.jeffbeck.com

I also like adrian legg's stuff. Cajun Interlude is a great song. Music on the site isnt that good though.


www.adrianlegg.com

Pierre Bensusen is definitely worth checking out. His newest album is the best yet, just wonderfully melodic acoustic (mostly DADGAD) with a slight celtic feel sometimes.Dont know of a website.

One of my favourite artists is Robert johnson but im sure most of you have heard of him.

[Problem Child]

What about AC/DC? I mean, I've never heard it on the radio since I'd come to Austria. I read the posts about Austrian bands and radio and I can tell you one thing - Austrian radio is crap, they play only mainstream, no rock, no alternative, really nothing else. It's horrible. Since I've come to Vienna (5 years ago or so) I don't listen to the radio, except the Polish Radio 1 which I can receive here. They sometimes play AC/DC. And if you want something really never heard on the radio anywhere - I've got a CD by an English band from Cambridge, which I bought after their gig in a music pub in Cambridge. It's typical British guitar music, like Oasis' Definitely Maybe. The band's called The Other Garden, the album's called Step Out, Step In and contains only 5 songs.

[Jameseh]

i mainly listen to Iron Maiden, Old Metallica, Nirvana, RHCP....dunno if thems are mainstream anywhere else but they get very, very little play on english radio

which i find quite annoying :p

[Lou_D_Criss]

OVERKILL.......still thrashing hard since the 80's





www.wreckingcrew.com (http://)

[fatstrat]

BoB Marley
Vandals
Toadies
Less Than Jake
Lagwagon
H2o
Midtown

They might play those on some radio stations but i have never heard them. I heard Bob Marley when i lived in Hawaii all the time but I havent heard one of his songs played on the radio now that I'm in Virginia.

[SilverchairROX]

My Fave Band is silverchair. they're not really gettin much air time since their first album back in, like, 1995, and they're still rockin.

here's their website:
www.chairpage.com

[Towelie]

Aha! I have one. Its a punk band probably no one has even heard of! The Homemade Heros. http://www.thehomemadeheros.com Is the address I think if not they're on www.audiogalaxy.com under punk. They're a local San Deigo band and they rock some major ass. Like Cyberfret said there are a lot of underground bands out there that do kick ass. Oh, I also listen to Millencolin (Though I think they might be on the radio in Sweden, but not in the US) and I sometimes listen to The Impossibles and Bad Astronaut.

NO MORE POWER POP! NO MORE POWER POP!

[Dann]

My absolute favorite artist is 'Melissa Ferrick'. She is probably the person who most inspires me to play. I have seen her live 3 times now, just her and an acoustic guitar (she now travels with a drummer) and man, she can rock. Lyricaly, you can almost feel what she was going through when she wrote the song.

www.melissaferrick.com

I also like the Wild Colonials. I think that their album "This Can't Be Life" borders on a masterpiece. Of course, not everyone agrees on this....lol.

www.wildcolonials.com

Give 'Neko Case and Her Boyfriends' a spin. I think she used to front a punk band but she has made 2 country albums that I think are great. "Furnace Room Lullaby" is my favorite of these two.

www.billions.com/neko

and of course, you can't leave out Ricky Martin.........oh man, did I just say that out loud.....

[the_doors_girl]

HI

Waz up with that? Its like know one plays any hard rock/metal anymore on the radio. I would love to hear some of the new things Ozzy is doing I hear him and his wife are putting together a group but I have hear nothing about it. Or for that fact any Ozzy music on the radio any more waz up with that? Are these radio people scarded to play these harder edged bands because of what they think there message will do to the audiance. I just dont know.
thanks


I would also like to send out my prayers and best wishes to everyone in New York. :):( We are all thinking about you all :)

[Sublime40oz]

Sublime is my favorite band of all time. They get played on the radio, but very rarely, and the only song I hear is Santeria.

[Sandman_96707]

Mudvayne
Marilyn Manson
Pantera
Black Sabbath (because they're old, perhaps?)
Ozzy Osbourne (because him being solo is almost as old, perhaps?)

There might be more

IF ANYONE WISHES TO REPLY TO MY POST, DON'T BOTHER BECAUSE THIS IS A LONG THREAD AND I'M NOT GOING TO RETURN TO THIS ONE.

--Shawn [/B]


oooooohhhhhh, why not rammstein, they are really nice :D , but ok, there is a band (some friends of mine) that I really like listening to, even though they have some bass-player-problems at the moment, and the webpage - eeehhhh can't qoute it directly, and I don't know if it's so up to date -, but however they are called Mind Masque

and there is another, pretty new one (again friends of mine), also a bassist-problem, but a working webpage, called »oceanmachine« (www.http//:oceanmachine.de) - said to have a biiiiiggggg future, hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[eische]

ups, just forgot, because it's not german, I just discovered »david nauendorf«, a bluesy one from downunder - don't know if there's a webpage, but they've got a cd called »natural«

Black Sabbath(http://www.black-sabbath.com - Unofficial)
Hammerfall (http://www.hammerfall.net)
Gamma Ray (http://www.gamma-ray.com )
Rhapsody (I dunno the URL. )
Tony Iommi (http://www.iommi.com)
Ozzy Osbourne (http://www.ozzy.com)
And Dream Theater.

I think the best two Dio albums are Dream Evil and Magica, cause they got Craig Goldy on them, whose style i REALLY like. and Hammerfall is pretty cool. Gamma Ray has Ex-Helloween guitarist Kai Henson.. Rhapsody is a Itilain Power Metal band, they're good...

I want to get the new ozzy album, for just the Ltd. Edition with the Randy Rhoads stuff on it. (Course, i bet the new music will be good, but i want the randy stuff!)

[johnnyemopunk]

now, this is a really good peace punk band (don't be discouraged because its punk), and also don't turn away because of the name, they actually sing about peace, unity, and love. there newer stuff is the best you , can download 911 For Peace, a song they wrote about the 9/11 terrorist attacks, off there site, the band is called Anti-Flag, http://www.anti-flag.com/anti-flag

[gck]

I don't know wether those guys get air time in the US, but they definitely do not get here (in no particular order):

Walter Trout (I just love his fiery style, he's (to my mind) the best electric blues player besides SRV)
Johnny Winter (great work, both on acoustic and electric guitar)
Steve Morse (He's simply crazy...)
Jeff Beck (really awesome guitarist)
Jimmie Vaughan (I like his "more minimalist" approach, compared to his brother's)
Big Bill Broonzy ( "Hey Hey" was one of the first songs I learnt...)
Eric Johnson (no wonder they wanted him for the G3 tour)
Robert Johnson (his playing is really unique, if I hear one of his songs I can instantly tell wether it's him playing it or somebody else...)
Muddy Waters (I have loved his music since I heard Clapton playing "rollin' and tumblin'" on the Unplugged album)
Ry Cooder (one of the most underrated guitarists, to my mind)

I also like SRV, Hendrix and Clapton a lot, but they fall into the "well-known, but still no air time"-category again (at least here).

[Wolfgang]

I know that quiet riot probably wouldnt count as a band that dosen't get any air time, but..... There first two albums would, they were only relaesed in japan (they couldn't get a record deal anywhere else) But they had some really good stuff like, picking up the pieces, and laughing gas, and alot of others. I think they could have gone mainstream if the got a deal. But the best part is you get to see where Randy Rhoads came from.

If they did go mainstream Randy probably wouldn't have died at the young age of 26. But you really can't argue with the stuff he did with ozzy.

[BloodXero]

id have to say Rammstein. atleast in the USA around me ive never heard one of their songs on the radio. now it may be different in Germany.

[fretfire]

Manowar

[barbietta]

A lot of music I like is not played on the radio, unfortunately. Sandy Denny/Fairport Convention, Nickel Creek, Joni Mitchell, to name a few...

[Soilwork]

Hmm... I know ALOT of underground bands, but they are mostly Death/Thrash, which I know are VERY RARELY played on radio.

Well, I wouldn't wanna list everything, because I know the list could go on forever.

But here's some listenable death/thrash, melodic, brutal, heavy, Nu Age metal, bands:

Blind Guardian
Meshuggah
Children of Bodom
In Flames
Murderdolls (Joey Jordison's side project)
Tiamat
HELLOWEEN (Classic)
Iron Maiden (DAMN Classic)
Slayer (Haven't lost their touch yet)
Iced Earth

I LOVE Dimmu Borgir, but that would be too heavy for some people, I think.

Arch Enemy is good also...

[BloodXero]

Pure Rubbish

Great punk band from Houston ... not that big but great band, even got great solos.

[smfulla]

I personally don't like Dimmu
I'm surprised no one has said anything about Finn Troll
They rock!

[Tarik]

Did anyone mention Ben Harper yet? I think his music is outstanding, and he is not played on any of my local music stations. If you only listen to one of his songs, listen to "Another Lonely Day". Easy to play for beginners as well.

[mind_riot_sg]

Joe Satriani, Jeff Buckley, and John Frusciante's solo stuff. and some local bands. Cyren (cyrenband.com), Livingston Bramble (livbramble.com), The Figgs. Flat Earth Society (flateaerthsociety.com) from New Jersey (i think). anyway. that's just a few of them.

[mind_riot_sg]

i forgot some. The Grifters from Memphis, Tennessee. they're strange. it's like garage rock. but it's spacious. so it's not like all the instuments are constantly playing. i can't explain it right but you all should check them out. you might be able to find them on kazaa.

overkill and better than ezra are some other (i saw some other people had these). it's rare that i've ever met anybody how's heard of overkill. and better than ezra are just plain amazing.

[PeninaD]

Echobrain, definitely

www.echobrain.com
Not only has great bass, but interesting Theremin work in an alt/prog/metal setting.

[Redweltall]

Hah hah... I just put up a thread that has all the wierd no name bands I know cuz i didn't see this one yet... oh well.. sorry.
Uhm... here is one I forgot:

Big Dumb Face - Funnier than even blood hound gang and tenacious d, and such... if you are an idiot. Like myself. Uhm... download the song Duke Lion. Tis hilariously awful. The music video is even better. This is Wes Borelands new band so I assume he is parodying the music industry or some strange idea like that... well this is funny.

[Runer]

My favorite unplayed bands:

Ayreon (prog rock)
Blind Guardian (power metal)
Sopor Aeternus (gothic)
Spock's Beard (prog rock)
Rhapsody (power metal)
Nightwish (power metal)
Therion (power metal...sorta)
Flower Kings (prog rock)

And then any number of 60's and 70's prog bands- most notably Camel, Jethro Tull, Gentle Giant and Genesis.

There are others, but that's probably enough.

[GD|eNSo]

I love Green Day, but check these guys out:

The Living End

[partysloth]

The Mighty Hellacopters!!
And the "kings of Rock" Gluecifer!!!

[partysloth]

www.hellacopters.com


The stooges,MC5, Radio Birdman no nonsense Rock N Roll!!!

[flyin'_fingers]

Well I seemed to be obsessed with Megadeth and Yngwie Malmsteen, I listen to them almost all the time. But if I'm not listening to them I usually put on some Metallica, Iron Maiden, Ozzy, Black Label Society, Slayer, Arch Enemy. and i'm starting to listen to Iced Earth and Helloween. I live in Puerto Rico, and the radio here SUCKSS !! Big time. The only rock u can catch on the radio here is Linkin Park, Creed, Blink, and nickelback, so it's not that entertaining.:(

[Greenman204]

My favorite band that I don't think is on the radio, nor MTV is The Lost prophets.

http://www.lostprophets.com

I don't think you'll be able to get their music at their official site though.

[Andrew]

I like lost prophets. Can't wait for another album to come out.

[Black Star]

everybody i listen to is never played on the radio.

symphony x, dream theater, sonata arctica, stratovarious, sade, plus a ton more. nobody plays them, so i dont listen to the radio.

[fizz]

Greenman.

Lostprophets are on MTV at least 5 times a day :|

On Kerrang at least 10 times a day.

On x fm at least 5 times a week, and on the rock shows at least once.

[beautiful_dae]

hi all,
In my country, the radio only played modern rock and oldies pop and some famous old rock band. From the day i was born, they never played any band with explicit lyrics.
There is some band that is not avaliable to us on the radio
here goes:
Van Halen
Slash's Snakepit
Izzy Stradlin

These just a few i can name.

Btw their website are:
vanhalen.com

snakepit.org

Stradlin.com???

[Andrew]

Yeah Lost Prophets are on the radio.And MTV. And Kerrang. They're good though.

[DIO]

The Bay City Rollers

[sewerhobo]

I was looking through some old posts and found this so lets revive it for the new people that have joined Cyberfret.

I've just begun to listen to ALOT of Iron Maiden. I don't think I've heard them on any of the local stations here, although I have seen one of their music videos (Run to the Hills) on MTV's Classics hosted by Stone Cold if that counts. Besides that Iron Maiden are unheard of on the radio at least around where I live.

[Redweltall]

Wow... this is a old post...
ok... well there is
Member's of the Yellow Press = weird beyond reckoning
Mindless Self Indulgence = Gay rapcore with synth... also weird etc.
Failure = if you like maynard.. you will like them.
The Catheter's = best garage punk i ever heard... and I don't even like the genre...
Aphasia = Slow deathpop, mild synth cool staccato guitar playing
SATRIANI!= god of guitar.

[cyberfret]

Ahhh but a good old post :) The first I made in the new forum.

Here are a couple I have been listening to tonight. In that prog kind of mood.

The Flower Kings
http://www.theflowerkings.com


DALI'S DILEMMA
http://www.magnacarta.net/audio/dali.html

--Shawn

[Metallicka]

Tonight I've been listening to the best of Skid Row, I've never been into them but the best of is good. The guitaring is pretty hot.

I also got out my Ugly Kid Joe album, their debut album that had everything bout you on it. I haven't listened to it in years and the guitarist is actually pretty darn good.

Did anybody get any of their other albums? Dunno how many they made coz I didn't hear any of their stuff after the first album.

I have also listned to kiss Alive II. It's ok but I was never into kiss growing up and they fall into that category of bands that if you didn't listen to em at the time you won't like em. Other bands in this category would be people like Motley Crue, Poison, W.A.S.P, Twisted Sister, Manowar etc.. ya know the kinda cheesy bands that were good at the time. If I was into em when they were around I'll still listen to em now but I can see why my younger bro won't.

Edit: Oh yeah, I found out the great Brian May lives near to me. It's the same district and only a couple of miles but there's quite a difference in the housing and people!

[JGKE]

I really want to say AFI, only because their only song being played on the radio doesn't compare to the rest of their most recent release OR especially their 2000 release Art of Drowning

[orestes]

this is a great thread

godspeed you black emperor

francois perusse
this guy is a really awesome bass player who spends his life making comedy skits, he rights funy songs but he's a really really good bass player

almost forgot, to whoever said disco biscuits, they rock. I heard they're cover of run like hell and i was amazed

I has no clue this was the first post in the forum. I was just searching "homemade" to see if anyone had made their own axe and this is what I found. I see that some of the newer folks like it. :D

[Blackwater_Park]

I've been listening to Medeski Martin and Wood quite a bit lately..

www.mmw.net

They're a jazz fusion trio, Medeski on keyboards, Martin on percussion and Wood on bass. They're very 'groove'-oriented, but it's still definately jazz. In fact, they all have killer chops. I've seen them live here in Edmonton, and I was absolutely blown away by not only their technical ability but by their cohesiveness as a band. I believe the website has some sound samples, you guys should definately check them out.


I've also been listening to the Frank Zappa album, 'One Size Fits All', and it's absolutely brilliant. I made a post about it earlier but no one seemed to care so I won't mention it much.

A couple of other non-radio bands... Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Steely Dan, Soul Coughing, and a few other jazz and blues guys.

[MetallicaGirl]

KING DIAMOND.

[JackasS sonNY]

sw1tched songs have never been played on Long Island radio, or NYC radio.

www.sw1tched.net

They messed up the site before because of a concert they were having but it might be back.

[popmusic_sux]

i was never a big fan of sw1tched, they're talented, but the singer tried to hard to write really deep lyrics and just failed... it sounds like something i'd write.

[MetallicaGirl]

haha! i know what you mean- if i hear i riff that sounded like something i wrote, i can't stand it.

[popmusic_sux]

oh, and GM55, i hear 12 stones every so often, maybe its the area...

ill list mine, some of them (well, most of them) i think i named earlier. but here we go...

-Prime STH
-Spiritfall
-Wesley Willis
-Neutral Milk Hotel
-Matchbook Romance
-Ill Nino
-40 Below Summer
-Glassjaw
-Flaw
-Mushroomhead
-Soil
-Blindside

I know some I may have named before, and some may have gotten radio time. I don't listen to the radio much.

[BassTallica]

i listen to a badn called Beautiful Creaters.. back in 200 philly radio played one of their songs for all of 2 weeks.. i hear them on xm radio from time to time.. i really like them.. nto sure how to discribe them.... download the song Ride .. i like that one... oh and i case yoru wondering the first time i heard em was at ozz fest 2000.. great live show they put on

Woo...

[Bluesin My Mind]

Robert Johnson.

[sewerhobo]

Just recently (like yesterday) I started to listen to Opeth again. I've never heard Opeth on the radio or even anyone else talk about them except here. Currently I'm working on the "A Fair Judgement" solo at the end of the song.

I think www.opeth.com is their website.

[GuitarDude]

DreamTheater...i think i mightve heard the end to one of their songs once on the radio....but im not sure, because it was for their just-released cd and i hadnt heard any of it yet. it dawned on me that the kool song i heard months ago couldvbe been one of the songs on the cd i just bought! well, yeah, dreamtheater...

Great Local Metal Band Oreon - http://www.oreonmusic.com

Another good up and coming local band Pure Bred - http://www.purebredmusic.com

[steveycrow]

Dead Kennedy's, Minor Threat, Peter & the Test Tube Babies
other end of the spectrum, T-Bone Walker, Robert Johnson, ALbert King
The Darkness (they get a lot of airplay in UK, but I doubt they've hit the US yet)
And I have been a Beatles fan for a long time but am now getting into the solo stuff of Lennon and Harrison - they were great, and even though I know they're huge I bet they don't get much airplay (apart from Imagine)

sorry I don't have the links.

[popmusic_sux]

the darkness is starting to hit the US, just not on the radio. It's more of an underground thing.

[fizz]

You poor sods.

[popmusic_sux]

yeah I'm stuck with Blink 182, Simple Plan and the like.

At least they still play the Chili Peppers

indeed. Too bad they broke up, now it's just Ben Folds.

[guitarphr33k]

i'm not a real big fan of the ben folds solo project. some of his songs really stick out for me, but for the most part, he just can't hold a candle to ben folds five.

[Marz_guitarz]

Well here is a guy that is not on US radio but is HUGE in Canada. This guy has toured with Rush, Triumph, Brian Adams and many more. He is considered an excellent guitar palyer. When I was a kid every guitar player wanted to figure out his intro to "Go for a soda" and when I did I became very popular teaching it to others. Go to download or buy Kim Mitchel's "go for a soda" and give it a try.
It is from the album "Akimbo Alogo"

http://www.kimmitchell.ca/


Check out the intro tunes


cheers Marz

[aeclark82]

Well.. here in Hilo we get NO new rock music (They turned a perfectly good rock station into a rap/hip-hop station) So.. my list includes:

Tool
Godsmack
Perfect Circle
Type-O Negative

I just discovered Iced Earth about a month ago thanks to this forum so I am not sure. I have downloaded like 10 songs. I am however going to pick up a couple of there CDs because I like supporting great music.

[Abaddon]

that's really awsome man. you should get horror show or something wicked this way comes. iced earth is such a tallented band. i'm so happy more people are realizing that. spread the iced earth wealth!

i would have to list almost all of my music collection and i don't have the time or patience for that.

[Vlad.Tepes]

How about Bathroy? And what about Blind Gaurdian? Iced Earth and them are awesome, But I would have to say if you were to buy an Iced Earth album, get Burnt Offerings or Night Of The Storm Rider. Awesome albums. And by the way, with Iced Earth's new singer (who isn't that bad, but nothing to Mathew Barlow) They will be played on the radio. They even have a video out now and it is being played over in Europe, so I hear. But yeah, they have a new record label and all, and this is what Jon Schaffer wants, so I geuss Hot Topic will have to exploit them beyond beleif soon. But anyways, Listin to Bathory!!!

I listen to alot of Miles Davis' fusion, especially from 73-75(hence the username). Not many radio stations dared to play it then, I doubt any play it now. It doesnt really fit any format heh.

One of my buddies clued me into these guys, pretty cool stuff.

I've been listening to a lot of Machine Head and Black Light Burns lately, can't say I've heard either on the radio.

[K-Smoove]

Klaxons (although they're played a surprising amount on Sirius radio), Primus (although Les Claypool/Primus songs are on 3 or 4 tv shows), Rammstein, and The Dresdon Dolls.

[bassman60]

Wow, this thread goes all the way back to 2001; it's fun to dig up old threads sometimes. What do you think, 68Mustang? My favorite band right now which I have never heard on the radio is Soulfly.

[oogitsmelol]

ive been listening to Pride & Glory quite a bit lately. COC and Down doesnt get any airplay. ummm ive recently stumbled onto Iced Earth, and so far i have really liked what i have heard. so a cd of theirs is definitely on my buy list.

[Zoso_Player]

Most of the artists I listen to are not on the radio:

Steve Vai
Joe Satriani
John Petrucci
Dream Theater
Dragonforce
Symphony X
more Steve Vai
Jeff Beck
Larry Carlton
SRV (Other than Texas Flood)
G3
Yngwie Malmsteen
Tony Macalpine
Spinal Tap :cool:
Yes

[omgwtf]

I think the only bands that I really listen to that are on the radio are probably Pantera and Metallica. I don't consciously try to be a music snob, the radio just doesn't play much aside from manufactured music. Try finding any good hip hop on the radio, it's not going to happen!

Try finding any good hip-hop at all . . .

You mean stuff that's not on the radio? I have hundreds of CDs like that.

That's what I didn't mention: all the rap and rave I listen to.

[K-Smoove]

Zoso mentioned Jeff Beck. I haven't heard his music until a couple days ago and I'm really into him now....what should be the first album of his I get?

PS---another one I'll add to my list is CCR.

P&G was one hell of a band... too bad it only lasted only album.

[Mike_Philippov]

Vitalij Kuprij, George Bellas, Tom Hess, Symphony X, Rusty Cooley to name just a few. Come to think of it, most of the music in my CD collection is not being played on the radio! (as unfortunate as that is)

Mike Philippov

[oogitsmelol]

I thought of someone else. Melvin Taylor.
http://myspace.com/melvintaylorblues
oh, and ibleedmarshall, i know. i wish they would have done some more. it sucks because someone burnt this cd and gave it to me, and its missing a song from the actual cd.

[Noctambulant89]

almost all the bands i listen to =L

[bjurman]

Ive been waiting to hear The Mars Volta on the radio for a long time.
Also King Krimson.

[bassman60]

King Crimson/King Diamond... Which one wears the makeup and got sued by Gene Simmons?

[BassTallica]

Face Down Dead... a bunch of guys i went to HS with and used to play with... theyer pretty good you can check on out on myspace.. i suggest you do

[bassman60]

There are a bunch of Pearl Jam albums which didn't seem to get much attention. I have recently been collecting these, and they are full of awesome songs. It's like a popular underground band.

[Desiato]

Animal Alpha

Gotta love Bundy!

Eagles of Death Metal
(Nevermind the name)
http://www.myspace.com/eaglesofdeathmetal
Dunno how much they're played on the radio, but I've never heard them there

And finally
The Answer

[learninclutch]

The best band out there touring today is Clutch! They have the gnarliest sets. They have been around for 16 years! Who else can say that except for Slayer. This band incorporates fictional lyrics with thumping basslines and a sound that is incomparable. If you haven't heard of them, I urge you to check them out. You won't find any blood curdling screaming, or demon like imagery. Just a no frills, badass mf ing rock band.

Thom Yorke,
Radiohead,
Modest Mouse,
New Order,
Pink Floyd,
The Beatles!

British radio has far to much rubish, identical, manufactured 'Pop' music...grrrr:mad2:

I've been getting into Necrophagist recently.

thats how it is over here in america too.

has anyone heard down's new album (ibleedmarshall)? i went to best buy to buy it and they didnt have it. the record store close to me closed down, so no going there. and the person who did the cds in best buy didnt know their alphabet. i promise that there was a W in with the B's.

[diatonick]

I think you got a point there. Although flyleaf and Phish are popular, they are not on radio.

Sorry, I don't have link for Phish.

I don't think flyleaf is on the radio very much.

[PropAgenda83]

A band Im listening to that NO RADIO STATION would never play simply because almost every song of there is well over 5 minutes long. The band is Opeth and they are an AMAZING band. I currently listening to their album GHOST REVERIES. Check em out at www.opeth.com or on www.myspace.com/opeth. They are from Sweden (go figure) my ex-guitarist in my old band got me into them. Anything by them is good.:cool:

[bassman60]

To My Surprise

It's a side project from a couple years ago by one of the "custom percussionists" from Slipknot. It's definitely not for the typical Slipknot fan, but it is a cool album to listen to. The sound is usually compared to '60s-era psychedelic pop.

[Owain]

Been listening to Izzy Stradlin's (of GnR) solo stuff. Its decent enough stonesy hard rock.

[papa roach fan]

I just got the new avenged sevenfold cd today and its nothing like their previous albums. All good songs adn well written and cool acoustic guitar on the last track and a great way to end the album. They have their drummer do some vocals on teh album which arent verry good imo.


Anyone get the new atreyu album? Its really good not their typical album.

[W.h.o.r.EGuitar]

Ok some bands I'm liking that aren't on the radio:
Mindless Self Indulgence
Deadsy
gODHEAD
Reggie and the full effect
The Black Keys (could be on there, but I never heard)

[metal0wns]

So many bands/songs its not even worth listing. I rarely listen to the radio anyway.
