Hi all! I just discovered a new metal band called Black Tide and I 'm very surprised because of the age of the lead vocalist (14 years old)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXBavool7Qw&feature=related

Do you know them?

Posted by: The Uncreator Jun 14 2008, 09:39 PM

Yeah I've heard of them, The guitar playing is ok, They need more development. The riffs become a bit typical but they have a lot of potential. Plus, there singer sounds exactly like his age.....14. His voice just isn't there yet for me.

Still, In maybe 5-6 years from now, I'd like to see how they are.

I think there good. But I do agree with the uncreator, they need more development.

There one of my favorite metal bands. I enter a contest to win Alex's dean(i posted a topic about it) There song Warriors of Time is by far one of the best songs I'v ever heard.

I think they try very very hard to sound "Epic" but failed miserably. For there age, ehh there ok. They seem to get a lot of attention just because of there age and playing "Metal". They have a potential to get better in the future if they don't let the pressure of being famous get into them.

Thanks Havent heard of them before.
Wouldnt think the singer is only 14!

Good band, but still a way to go.

Reminds me of Skid Row

I liked it very much really, that was cool

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jun 15 2008, 09:42 PM

yes... I also think that they need more time.. but they sound great for the age.

Oh, sounds really good, amazing children !!! thanks Gabe, I didn't know them

Yeah, makes me jealous. It's nuts how some fourteen year olds can outplay a lot of older bands. They must be really dedicated.

Posted by: ZakkWylde Jul 12 2008, 03:27 PM

I think that vid is a quite old, I saw them at Rock Am Ring Live and the singer was bigger and had a diffrent voice by now so my guess by his looks and voice is that he is now at least 16 years old.

Besides it was a hell of a show for newcomers; old school riffs and interesting solos...

Posted by: TreyDeschamp Jul 12 2008, 03:28 PM

O there definatly dedicated. I was watching this funny interview with them and there bassist had this couger stalking him at all of the concerts and she would bring her daughter so it wouldnt look weird haha

I liked that! I prefer that kind of metal before deathmetal and growling.

And the vocalist had a suprisingly mature voice for 14...

Posted by: Flex2142 Jul 13 2008, 07:02 PM

Nice voice for a 14years old boy But give them a few years more to develope their music and it will be very good.

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Jul 13 2008, 07:04 PM

I'll applause their talent and dedication, but that said I have always thought, that people or should I say kids that age should not be caught by all those spotlights, but spend their time being kids. Child artists/stars has always annoyed me to some extent - no hard feelings, but I just think there are better ways to spend those kiddie-years.

Never heard of them but am impressed!
Do you guys remember Bad4Good? A teenager's band produced by Steve Vai. You should check them out too. :-)

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Jul 13 2008, 07:43 PM

Heh, I remember having come across Bad4good. What was that...back in the mid 90's? They most be quite some grown ups now. Know of their whereabouts these days?

Posted by: edguy Jul 13 2008, 08:03 PM

What i found on youtube about Bad4good is this:

Bad4Good 'Nineteen' from CD "Refugee"
Member--Danny Cooksey (Vo), Thomas McRocklin(G), Brooks Wackerman (Dr), Zach Young (
When they released this CD they were only 12-16 years old. Brooks now playing for Bad Religion, Zach has band called A.I. with his brother Nick.
