I have just recently started listening to more progessive metal like dream theater. i feel like i am stuck in what to listen too. NEED HELP!

When I first got into metal, I only liked 80's metal.. But now I have discovered bands that aren't as famous as Metallica and Iron Maiden ect. but I like them a hundred times more! Especially Lamb of God and Gojira are "newer" metal bands that are amazingly good. Dont't be mistaken by new metal and nu metal, this is not nu metal! Nu metal is just a genre (that sucks IMO). There is lots of newer metal that is not in the genre nu metal. Which means: there is lots of newer metal band that doesn't suck. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Dream Theater Sorry im a DT nut- but honestly sometimes i find that i just cycle their albums now and then so their music doesnt get stale. Maybe try out symphony x? Paradise Lost is a great album You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

Symphony X, Strapping Young Lad or any Devin Townsend metal project, Angra, Septic Flesh, Testament, Meshuggah, Pain of Salvation, Ayreon, (old) In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, Krux, There's a bit of style-variation in these bands though, but they are all great in my opinion.

There is tons and tons of good bands in this genre, also new bands. http://youtube.com/watch?v=0haPd1AiAXY http://youtube.com/watch?v=0_F4KiYFVWQ http://youtube.com/watch?v=n5TsYgBSN3U etc. most people wont like this right away, but bands like Opeth i think is a good start to get used to more heavy stuff. Opeth is ridiculously fantastic, so check them out if you havent yet. Also check out Saxon and Pentagram(US). Very early heavy metal. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Alot of power metal bands take the sound of early metallica and iron maiden and put it on steroids. Sense you say you like Dream Theater, I think you may like some progressive power metal. A few bands to get you started off the top of my head are: Kamelot Blind Gaurdian Adagio Dragonforce Rage Sentenced Edguy Mercenary (definitly check these guys out, very under rated) If you want something with less melody and more balls, heres a couple of the best Protest the Hero - Im begining to sound like a fanboy but these guys deserve it, f'n crazy guitar skills Nevermore - This Godless Endeavor Machine Head - The Blackening Lamb of God - Ashes of the Wake Unearth- The Oncoming Storm ( Their newest one kicks tail also) The Human Abstract- Nocturne Children of Bodom- Will either inspire you or depress the hell out of you because their so good Between the Buried and Me - Colors Avenged Sevenfold - Waking the Fallen (yeah I know, mainstream blah blah blah, this cd rocks, end of story) Shadows Fall- Pretty much anything, these guys shred Everytime I Die Mastodon- Blood Mountain and Leviathon especially Theres a whole lot of underground bands that I could list, but this is sort of metal 101 and I want you to try and find your own list of music you enjoy. Nothing happened to metal, its just not the most marketable music at the moment so it doesnt get as much exposure as the same sound garden and pearl jam songs a hundred times a day. You have to find it on your own, but honestly that half the fun haha. The internet is a wonderful tool. Happy Hunting ! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Well chances are you wont find good metal bands on the radio, Unless your paying for satellite radio and get the underground stations. You have to look in weird places, Searching the net will reveal some excellent bands. If you want some bands with a more old school approach, check out Warbringer and EVILE, two awesome thrash bands bringing back the old school thrash riffage of slayer, exodus, megadeth, testament, and all the good stuff. All in all alot has happened to Metal, Perhaps so much has happened to it in such subtle ways hidden from mainstream view, it goes unnoticed. If your into Progressive stuff like Dream Theater, check out Meshuggah, Evergrey, Opeth, Nevermore, and Jag Panzer, Name some genres you want to get into, and Ill gladly help you out, This is what im best at You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Eventually it will come full circle again. Imo todays nu-metal is a mashing together of 80's hard rock and grunge of the 90's. Alot of people blame the downfall of 80's metal to Nirvana, i know alot of people will disagree with me but if you want my honest opinion about who brought about the change to what we have now look no further then Guns n Roses. They are the ones who bridged the gap between 80's metal and the seattle sound. Take a long listen to Guns n Roses and you will hear it. Of course thats my opinion. On another note most heavy metal that is good never got air play in their prime unless you listend to college radio stations. Real good metal is always fringe with a tight nit following of hardcore fans. Daniel You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Unfortunately,IMHO the grunge sound won the airwaves and eventually pretty much took bands like Tesla,Dokken,Motly Crue, ect.... off the shelves. Those bands that could see where things were going, and willing to give up there style to sell copies stayed around longer. Some are still selling out today! Take a look at Bon Jovi for example. From there first album Runaway, to the crap they play today. It's almost like they have gone "country", to there credit, they are still selling out shows. Personaly, I think the style of the 80's and early 90's are gone. Too much rap and pop music has taken over the top 40. Glad I have a good collection od cd's!

And I am almost sure that if you keep exploring todays scene you will sooner or later find some new bands that you will also like. If you want some advice about progressive metal, I would also recommend Opeth, and one of my alltime faves: Fates Warning (check out "Awaken the Guardian!!!)

Many other really good ones mentioned though But I agree with what robin said, Opeth is a really good start for heavier new metal stuff. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

And they are also a great way to get into the heavier stuff. (I still haven't found aband I like as much as Opeth) Dream Theater is a good suggestion aswell. And if you're into Sabbath maybe you should check out some traditional doom? You could try Candlemass and Krux as a start. (Even though I'm not a a fan of their stuff I still think they have some good riffs here and they and I can difenetly see how someone with different tastes than me could really like them.)
