If you want to listen to rock music at its best,listen to bands like; "The White Stripes," "The Dead Weather" "The Peach kings" "Teddy bears" "Alt-J" "Gardens & villa" "Motopony" "The Black keys" "The Heavy" "Crazy town" "Heartless bastards" & "Alabama shakes."That's enough for now. |

I still don't understand why many of you both on NL and out here, like mild rock trax? As for me I listen mostly to H A R D R O C K, cos they fuel my imaginations and fires my creativity. Mine are: Nirvana Smells Like Teen Spirit only, the rest na noise. Linkin Park 90% of all tracks in Hybrid Theory, Reanimation & Meteora are the best Adema Giving In, [The Way You Like It, Planets, Cold and Jaded Foo Fighter Pretenders only, the test na noise. Three Days Grace Home, Animal I've Become, Pain, Never Too Late, I Hate Every Thing About You Breaking Benjamin So Cold is the only track of theirs I like. A Perfect Circle Outsider (Apocalypse Remix), Weak and Powerless Avenged Sevenfold After life, Brompton Cocktail, Almost Easy, Nightmare, Seize The Day, Scream, Unbound The Wild Ride, A Little Piece of Heaven and Gunslinger. CrossFade So Cold, Colors Rammstein Ich Will Cavalera Conspiracy Killing Inside Lacuna Coil Secret, Heaven's A Lie, Swamped Within Temptation *can't remember for now* Evanescence Most of 'Fallen' and some of 'The Open Doors' album Disturbed Down With The Sickness, Forsaken, Inside The Fire, Static-X Cold, Not Meant For Me, Destroyer https://www.nairaland.com/1397333/let-share-hard-rock-tracks @Logicboy03 Na u I dey find wey I take reach here.

Re: Who Are Your Favorite Modern Rock Bands by Nobody: 2:24pm On Nov 15, 2013 |
IfeomaVanessa: I forgot to mention queen. Is maroon 5 a rock band?Yeah, maroon 5 is one of the best bands out there although adam levine is the visible lead singer and Queen is also a awesome band |
Re: Who Are Your Favorite Modern Rock Bands by ghostofsparta(m): 2:45pm On Nov 15, 2013 |
@A L L Do you think Nigerians would appreciate a genre of heavy rock instrumentals blend with rhythmic local-type percussions laced on top with senaible lyrics. @Vanessa Have you heard Vanessa Carlton? |
Re: Who Are Your Favorite Modern Rock Bands by Nobody: 3:16pm On Nov 15, 2013 |
ghostofsparta: @A L LI doubt rock is a genre most nigerians appreciate talkless of heavy metal rock, doubt it'll be commercially viable |
Re: Who Are Your Favorite Modern Rock Bands by Nobody: 3:27pm On Nov 15, 2013 |
Rock is just like baseball, it's not a Nigerian thing. Yeah, I know Vanessa Carlton |
Re: Who Are Your Favorite Modern Rock Bands by ghostofsparta(m): 5:35pm On Nov 15, 2013 |
emk4lif:I don't really think so. I think it depends on how it is packaged and showing originality. Do you know there are heavy rock bands in Saudi Arabia? Besides, would you agree that majority of music listeners in Nigeria don't know there are mainly three types of Rock music; Soft rock The likes of Daughtery, Greenday, Coldplay etc whose songs are always mild and sonorous. Too Hard rock Like most of the tracks from artiste/bands I listed^ who rarely compose soft, melodious strings except for Linkin Park who now do that a lot now. Heavy/Thrash/Death metal Una know them na. Dem de tok sense o, but d noise 3 much. Mastodon, Childeren of Bodom. Cradle of Filth, Korn etc . This sub-genre of rock is what an average Nigeria thinks of, when the word 'rock music' is mentioned. I've asked females before severally, do you listen to rock music? And it mostly: "ehn! God forbid, I don't listen to all those devilish music, me I like Celine Dion and westlife". Though, that was back then, I wouldn't know about now since I've stopped bothering to ask. One day I'm going to write a piece about Nigerians mis-reaction to rock music as a chapter within the topic: A Critical Look of the Nigerian Entertainment Industry. BTW I like this soft rock track by Kasabian or so, the track is: Processed Beat. You all should check it out, very cool and sweeeeeeet. |
Re: Who Are Your Favorite Modern Rock Bands by ghostofsparta(m): 5:38pm On Nov 15, 2013 |
IfeomaVanessa: Rock is just like baseball, it's not a Nigerian thing. I'm dead sure your favourite must be A Thousand Mile, abi? What about Kelly Clarkson? My sis made me appreciate her Breakaway track, as I did them Linkin Park's 'Faint'. |
Re: Who Are Your Favorite Modern Rock Bands by Nobody: 7:02pm On Nov 15, 2013 |
ghostofsparta:U do have a point tho but I still doubt the viability of the genre here in nigeria,won't hurt to try tho ......btw I do listen to some heavy metal tho,mostly stuff from AC/DC and metallica, hate Korn |
Re: Who Are Your Favorite Modern Rock Bands by Nobody: 7:03pm On Nov 15, 2013 |
ghostofsparta:Yeah, that's my favourite. My favourite Kelly Clarkson track should be "Mr Know It All" |
Re: Who Are Your Favorite Modern Rock Bands by RSAMAN(m): 7:10pm On Nov 15, 2013 |

Re: Who Are Your Favorite Modern Rock Bands by Nobody: 7:53pm On Nov 15, 2013 |
RSAMAN:Cmon,linkin park stirs one up with their powerful lyrics,superb guitar riffs and all plus their distinct rap rock style unlike the very awkward noise that korn makes, 'freak on a leash' is prolly the only korn song I could bear to listen too |
Re: Who Are Your Favorite Modern Rock Bands by RSAMAN(m): 9:56pm On Nov 15, 2013 |
emk4lif: if you want real rap-rock listen to cypress hill - ''bones cd'' from ''skull and bones'' double album. They aren't even a rap-rock band, just a rap group that happened to release a double lp album(skull and bones) with disc one containing rap songs and disc two containing rap-rock songs, they named disc 1 skull and disc 2 bones, the best disc of the two is disc two(bones). Another band you might want to check out is, and this one is a rap-metal band that puts every rap-metal band to shame, Rage Against The Machine(RATM). check out RATM's Evil Empire album specifically. You might also want to listen to Korn's ''Follow the leader'' album, classic album, standout track is ''cameltosis''. All that will make you realize linkin park is child's play! 1 Like |
Re: Who Are Your Favorite Modern Rock Bands by RSAMAN(m): 10:17pm On Nov 15, 2013 |
ghostofsparta: That is not a sub-genre of rock. It's a genre of music and it's called Heavy Metal. Thrash Metal and Death Metal are not synonyms of Heavy Metal as i see you describe it as Heavy/Thrash/Death Metal Thrash and Death Metal are sub-genres to the genre of music called Heavy Metal. Other sub-genres of Heavy Metal include : Groove Metal Doom Metal Power Metal Black Metal Unblack Metal Symphonic Metal Avant-Garde Metal Experimental Metal Folk Metal Shoegaze Metal Progressive Metal Nu metal Viking Metal Melodic Death Metal Technical Death Metal Christian Metal Funk Metal Dark Metal 1 Like |
Re: Who Are Your Favorite Modern Rock Bands by Nobody: 10:21pm On Nov 15, 2013 |
RSAMAN:Hmmm, will check out RATM then,you really are quite the avid rock fan |

Re: Who Are Your Favorite Modern Rock Bands by Nobody: 11:32pm On Nov 15, 2013 |
RSAMAN: mine is ''Katatonia - Dead End Kings''Katatonia is a tad bit too dark for my liking...I don't fancy the 'doom metal' sub genre |
Re: Who Are Your Favorite Modern Rock Bands by ghostofsparta(m): 1:21am On Nov 16, 2013 |
RSAMAN:^Ye kpari-kpa ! Na wetin? Omo guy, you craze gan o for this metal sheets.....I swear. How can one tell the difference between these ^ sub genres? Are they measured in terms of how ghoulish and noisy? Which one be Viking metal? What about Pirate metal? WTF is the difference between black and dark metal? And where in hell did they get technical death metal? Christian metal ko, Muslliim metal ni. Abegi metal na metal jo, meaning senseless noises generated by repeated banging of kpangolos with iron rod. #AbokiMetalBuyers. Lol!. Joke aside, I stand corrected. However for a long time I was confused as to which is which. I even bought some rock magz back then, which still got me more confused since they mostly advertise, gisted, review and interview more metal heads than the sort of hard rock bands I like listening to. Up till now I still find it quite hard to relate to metal music in general. BTW, Cypress Hill, to me lack luster, infact their wacky counterpart Limp Bizkit are a tad better by style and delivery than them, though over punkish. I mean, after buying their bones and skull album, I felt stupid to have been swooned by the glossy artwork of their cover, na growsy tracks full the 2 CDs, original album for that matter. D tin pain me dat time I no fit break am. Ehem! Back to the Head Bangers, So ma guy, yarn me how una take dey feel those noise and growling for metals? Aside from few of their beautiful application as soundtracks to action movie scenes, car racing games, wrestling jingles and wrestler's intro into the ring, how does one or how do you feel metal music? I bought Metallica DVD, which I still do have, very clean, d tin never scratch cos I no dey hear am. I have tried and tried. E no be like Linky and 3daysGrace or A7X or Adema etc. And also, I know some of these 'mentalo' deliver sensible messages just like my hard rock bands, but how do they expect listener to hear when their instrumentals is so chaotically noisy such that it blots out their lyrics? And come to think of it, don't you think they ought to be Chaos Metal? If not, maybe we should start it. |
Re: Who Are Your Favorite Modern Rock Bands by Fourcade(m): 4:34am On Nov 16, 2013 |
RSAMAN: See classification I rather stick with the ones i've got.I will say Linkin park,disturbed,korn and some tracks of A7x and bullet for my Valentine. Technical Death Metal Some of these bands have dark lyrics,all about their worship and death.Nah...not for moi! |
Re: Who Are Your Favorite Modern Rock Bands by Fkforyou(m): 3:18pm On Nov 16, 2013 |
emk4lif:oh boy I think there are many peepz who like rock in nigeria it's just that most peepz play it in their homes,cars or phone(more like privately)...it's not somethin u play on d streets and children would dance to it thats why u feel it's not popular in Naija btw my favourite rocks band are: Daughtry(the guy is cool),the script,3 doors down,breaking benjamin. |
