Re: What other bands do Alter Bridge fans listen to?

Quote: (Originally Posted by uncertaindrumer) Mayfield 4, Foo Fighters, Audioslave are really the only modern rock bands I enjoy. Everyone else sounds exactly the same, although there are a few songs here and there I *might* be able to bear.

Old stuff is where it's at. Soundgarden, Pearl Jam (although I suppose they are still around) Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Deep Purple, the Who, U2 (again, I suppose they are still around, but their old stuff was better), Stevie Ray Vaughn, etc. etc. etc.

I also like guys such as Steve Vai and Joe Petrucci.

A really good newer blues player (I love the blues) is Joe Bonemassa.... he rocks. I also listen to some Jazz... John Coltrane, Mingus, other stuff.

And of course, my guilty pleasure, Bon Jovi ;-)


I used to really like pearl jam, but lately or to me at least it seems as though everything from vitalogy was kinda unispired and the audial equivalant of stale coke. It seems as though they are just lazy. The first two albums rocked my socks off, where eddie did not sound like he was just crooning like he was passing a kidney stone the size of a basket ball.
