Hello
 

:wavey: Hey all! My name is Alicia, I live in Missouri. I joined in February, hope to be more active now that school is out.

I love all kinds of music... classic rock, rock, pop, a lil bit of country, and currently been listening to more heavy metal lately.

Can't wait to share music with everyone!

Hiiii Alicia! Nice avatar :D.
Could you tell us the names of some bands you like?

4 "i"s s_k?

One "i" is sufficient.

Welcome to the site, and please, share some bands you like.

Yeah I'm not sure what happened there.

Nobody can argue it wasn't enthused though, SK.

Welcome, Alicia.

Thanks for the welcome! I like a wide variety of music but a few of my fave bands are KISS (my first concert), Godsmack, Five Finger Death Punch, Three Days Grace, Collective Soul, STP and so MANY more!

Add on.... BTW I LOVE your music collection!

Welcome Alicia :wavey:

Hi Alicia! Welcome!! I like your taste in music ("classic rock, rock, pop, a lil bit of country, and currently been listening to more heavy metal lately").

I'd never listened to metal either, but this guy I know has been playing songs for me to 'try out' lol. And I've found a few I like! One was from the 'Five Finger Death Punch' band you mentioned and I love it! I think it's one of their 'slower' songs, but meh, it's a start lol :D

Both of you shoud listen to Opeth.

Hahaha, that's not really metal Holly, that's sort of nickelback on steroids...
But you gotta start somewhere :)

OMFG, who is this guy? tell him to stop!

this guy isn't from MB is he?

read this thread if you haven't already
http://www.musicbanter.com/rock-meta...on-thread.html

and ask for some recs in this thread based off of the few that you have come to like or for some just suggestions in general

Even though I was talking to Holly, you can do that as well alicia75

You can try out Opeth but I don't think that band is a good transition band to throw someone into if they are just getting started with metal

The album Morningrise is the perfect trasition into metal, great vocals, without growls.

But seriously, tell that guy to stop.

I just really haven't found much 'newer' metal I like. Been listening to alot of Pantera and Metallica. Any suggestions would be great! I did check out Opeth. Will look into the Morningrise album.

More suggestions would be great though!

Thanks

:laughing: Thanks guys.

@Dj - no, he isn't from MB and I'll be sure to take a look at those threads.
@Lone Misfit- Thanks for the recommendation. I will check out that Morningrise album.

hi there Alicia.
welcome to MusicBanter and hopefully, you'll enjoy it here.
Have fun!
