They still sound like Saxon plain and simple. And they were one of the founders of NWOBHM so in my book they earn plenty of attention. Another band like Saxon that got too little attention is Tygers of Pan Tang. Great band but they have a limited group of fans, it's a shame really. I havent really heard their new stuff, but I did see a live video on youtube wich was rather new, and the vocalist still sounds the same!! Awesome of course. Seriously... The first sentence he sings on Motorcycle man, OH MY GOODNESS WHAT A VOICE! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Sep 20 2007, 03:32 PM	GMC:er Posts: 1.255 Joined: 12-April 07	First metal band I ever liked was metallica, and after that I started listening to System of a Down and Rage Against the Machine. And then came Machinae Supremacy, In Flames and stuff like that, In Flames helped me to listen to the growls, but still, I had to get used to "real" growls after that. After that came opeth and after that everything came. Burzum > Mayhem > Ulver Opeth > Katatonia > Anathema Isis > Pelican > Cult of Luna etc Allthough, I don't actually see me as "into metal", but these bands made me listen to other metal bands.

This then led on to me listening to bands like Metallica, Megadeth, Ozzy, etc You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Then Metallica got me hooked for some time and then I moved on to Dream Theater and prog metal.

Well, them and the people behind the "Powers Rangers" theme song. That tune is just so bruthzally metzhal!! Then at some point came bands like Opeth and Dream Theater that started my fascination for progressive metal. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I told him it was pretty good and decided to delve into metal a little bit and went to the library and borrowed a Metallica CD, S&M to be precise. Because I grew up listening to classical music it was a direct hit. From that on I delved more into metal, finding bands like BG and IE and grew fond of prog metal. But the music that deffinately made me want to learn to play the guitar was Ayreon. After a year of truly discovering Ayreon I really wanted to learn how to play guitar and now I'm here You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

One day, I turned over to Kerrang, and this song was on. It was the most amazing thing I ever heard, the riff was just pounding making my head want to headbang...It was Metallica's Enter Sandman. That was the first time I heard them, After that I started listening to Metallica. Then I heard Pantera, Skid Row, Motley Crue, Marilyn Manson, etc. Grew out of my old music and from then on I listened to 80s rock/glam rock/metal etc You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Anyway I didn't care very much about the music as it wasn't an easy listening. One day before going to school "Run to the hills" was on and I caught myself singing along ruuuun to theee hills....and from nowhere Dave murray plays that solo with wah and I froze for about 3 seconds <-------- (I mean that) trying to understand what I was feeling inside. So i'm with the ones with the NBWOM. + Accept. Scorpions.Then I moved backwards to see where that sound came from. Sabbath, Purple, Zeppelin were added to my list.
