Entre_Perpetuo Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 If you're looking for a GnR or anything of the sort though, you ain't gonna find it, sorry.I, humbly, disagree... ...Izzy Stradlin is a fine guitar player. Izzy Stradlin isn't very popular outside of GnR, also he has a solo career? That started post 2000? What I meant was there are no more hard rock bands of that caliber and that level of mass popularity in the 21st century. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I think the OP meant bands formed in the new millennium, or released their debut from 2000 onwards... In that case: Alter BridgeMastodonTrivium Mastodon have a claim for being the biggest metal band of the new millennium, that's for sure. For sure. It's not like metal bands such as Slipknot, System Of A Down and Disturbed haven't sold millions of records and filled arenas at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 https://www.thetopte...ck-bands-2000s/ This list says GreenDay, which makes sense. I think of American Idiot, which was huge, guitar-based, and even a concept album. Green Day has been around since the 1990s.Yeah...misread the thread title.

LedRush Posted December 20, 2017 Author Share Posted December 20, 2017 hm... technically speaking, I'd argue Coldplay. Most of their songs have a prominent guitar of some kind. But you mean some real, heavy kind of guitar. And those are pretty hard to come by these days. Perhaps The Black Keys would fit the bill, or My Chemical Romance or Fall Out Boy. The Strokes were a pretty big deal once upon a time as well. Also, let's talk acoustics. Mumford And Sons, Of Monsters And Men, The Lumineers...even Ed Sheeran. They could all count feasibly. If you're looking for a GnR or anything of the sort though, you ain't gonna find it, sorry. Yeah, Coldplay and Fall Out Boy were two of the thoughts I had. I had also thought of Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift, at which time I decided to look for bands, not solo artists. Jack White and his various bands might have counted, but the White Stripes missed the cut-off by 7 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I meant was there are no more hard rock bands of that caliber and that level of mass popularity in the 21st century. Stradlin had a great solo career. His first 2 albums are particularly awesome. Of course, they both came out in the 90s and garnered virtually no popularity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She'll probably act like she doesn't like them just because I have a few of their albums. I've tried recommending stuff I know she'd enjoy like AFI and Paramore, but she kinda hits me with the "get outta here, lameo Dad" vibe when I do that. She did take her mom's old Misfits hoodie though. I suspect because MCR made them cool to her. FOB, MCR, Twenty One Pilots, and Panic! at the Disco...that's what she's playing constantly. I'm not much of a fan but I'm just thankful she's not in to trap mumble rap shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might just be my youth, but their melodies and lyrics are just kind of emotionally undeniable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible airwave Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 (edited) Sadly what counts as bands is “play no instrument on albums but have your bands perform live” wuss “rock” do unfortunately it’s Maroon 5, One Republic And Imagine Dragons.

Entre_Perpetuo Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Sadly what counts as bands is “play no instrument on albums but have your bands perform live” wuss “rock” do unfortunately it’s Maroon 5, One Republic And Imagine Dragons. The idea that they don't play instruments on their albums is mislead. In fact, having seen Imagine Dragons in concert and listened to their three records somewhat extensively, I can assure you their live sound gets pretty dang close to the sound of their records, with maybe a bit more oomph and slightly more noticeable guitar lines. Yes they use lots of synthesized sounds live and on record, and these bands often program the sounds to play automatically or have a non-member touring musician handling keys and extra guitars. This is more pop and less rock and roll in attitude, assuredly, but it doesn't make the music necessarily worse, nor the concert experience less exhilarating, nor the album experience less fulfilling. The focus for a lot of the popular "alternative" bands is on songwriting and radio-playability more than rocking out, which isn't a bad thing in itself. The bad thing is that these are our most popular rock oriented bands because society has lost interest in true-blue rock and roll music for the most part, or there aren't any good new bands with potential for mass popularity.
