The DJ's there were big fans of the band. WAAF is the same radio station that put Godsmack on the map back around '98 I believe. Godsmack at the time only toured the New England area, and never really ventured outside that region. But two DJ's, Rocko and Birdsy (who were former strip club DJ's ), played their song "Stay Away" over and over again... and the rest is history. I'm surprised Sevendust never made it as big as Godsmack.--------------------  He who laughs last thinks slowest.

QUOTE (Ben Higgins @ Nov 19 2010, 08:13 PM) ... Hehe, you're dead right there with the X Factor idea. I like the fact you turn people down from the 'manufactured' world as well... extra bonus points for you !! My cats disagree though. They like the manufactured sound and keep telling me that I need to earn more money so that they can eat fish. QUOTE (The Uncreator @ Nov 19 2010, 10:53 PM) ... Production is also a big issue ... Indeed. Often it's not the band btw but the record company's producer who really dictates what the CD will sound like. A lot of producers don't want to take a risk and so look at what's already successful and expect the mix engineer and mastering engineer to replicate it. It's a sort of 'no one ever got sacked for buying an IBM' approach. QUOTE don't realize they can just turn the volume up?

Are these bands all in the metal core genre? ( i thought not ) but i do like some of these songs, althought some are missing some 'spice' in it  I will start whit number 5 5. Really liked the timing of these guys! and there headbang factor 4. a little to sweet for me, i will check out their other songs. 3.Better then 4, but i really missed some lead over the rythem guitar. But liked his voice though. 2.Really awesome intro! The power stays in this song the whole time. I really liked the violins in the middle, made it really beautifull! Steve vai also used some brilliant violins in his song 'and now we run' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJ7vyFnLvjw...feature=related 1.On the first sight, the song sounds really simple and boring. But when i really listened, i could here how much emotion was in this song. I think its really depents on the moment, wether i like this song or not, but its defenetly no commercial crap! Well, if you have any more great songs for me, you know were to find me

I'm not into those bands at all I must say, but I've checked some of the bands that my metalhead friends recommended, and they do sound interesting. Bands like Gojira, Lamb of God, and Meshuggah are sounding interesting. Not sure where they belong in those genres, I guess they are all progressive one way or another. Here are some of my favorites, all based on what others played me, and what I've found later on YT because of these recommendations:
New modern metal bands sound very much alike. Everything is over compressed and sampled, so the link between the sound on the instrument/vocalist and the sound that comes out of the speaker (wetter it is live or studio recording) is becoming weaker and weaker. I've heard Behemoth live, and their drummer is using triggered samples that sound perfect, no mistakes at all. This does open up lots of possibilities for new kinds of sounds and effects, but often bands lack to use it, and just follow the trends. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
