Anybody heard of Infant Annihilator?

They dropped what might be the raunchiest song of all time.

If you have, then you know what you're getting into. If not... then I wouldn't listen. Actually, just don't read the lyrics.

Yes, I agree.

I am sure Bieber fans say the same thing about Michael Jackson too.

My point is, Led Zeppelin, Moody Blues, ELO, Queen, GNR, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, etc have all lasted the test of time because they had melody.

They were able to blend guitars with pianos....hell Metallica's best concert was with a symphony in my opinion.

Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Yardbirds, Cream....songs are classics.

I listen to baby metal and laugh.

They are hacks. There will be no Eric Clapton breaking away from this band.

Yes, I am old. Old enough to know what crap sounds like.

Heavy metal died with Dimebag Darrell.

When I listen to bands from the past decade or two, I have a hard time finding (m)any that will make the transition to classic rock radio like Metallica, AIC, etc, etc are starting to do in most markets, and I really wonder what that radio format will sound like in the future. I'm sorry, but I just don't see Godsmack, Disturbed, Korn, 5FDP, et al being timeless music. The post with Korn's new video...I mean, it doesn't sound any different than anything off of any of their albums from the past 15 years+. And they blew my mind when they first came out, I couldn't get enough of the self titled debut album through Follow the Leader. After that, I just didn't see any growth of the band. But if you look at the most "popular" bands before this nu-metal sound, all of their sounds evolved as the band evolved. That seems to be the main ingredient of a timeless band that didn't come to a premature end. The Beatles, Pink Floyd, AC/DC (the wrong direction of evolving after Razor's Edge), Rolling Stones, Zeppelin, Queen, GnR, Metallica, Soundgarden, PJ, STP, and so on and so on. All the bands that you're sick of hearing on the radio all evolved, and maintained relevance, thus continued airplay. The active rock format is dead, because the music is stale, IMO.

I've also seen a lot of true metal post in this thread, but to me, that's always been a very niche market that has struggled to find a home after Headbangers Ball And I find it to be no coincidence that it's one of the most streamed genres on Spotify.

Sorry, I'm an old radio guy, so that's the way my head started working when I was reading through this thread. And I also quoted you here because of your Dimebag comment, to tell this story from my radio days...

Back in early '04, Dimebag and Vinnie Paul were playing with their new band Damageplan. I was working mid-days at a rock station. My boss walked in the studio and asked if I'd like to interview the band. I tell him, "hell yeah I want to interview Vinnie and Dime". He says, "great, they'll be here in 45 minutes." Which kinda freaked me out, cause I thought it was going to be a phone interview in the next few days. They weren't in town to play a show, they were making a specific stop between small club shows to just do some promotion because Damageplan was that new of a band. All I really knew about them at that point was that VP and DBD were in the band, and I have less than an hour to prep for the interview. They come in, the interview went great, everyone in the band was genuinely incredibly nice. For some reason, we had two DVD's of Girls Gone Wild in the studio, I gave them to the band for some new road material to watch, they signed a band lithograph for me. I put the autographed pic in my backpack thinking...I just got to interview DBD and VP, AND I got their autographs, I can't believe that just happened and this is my life. Fast forward about 6 months or so. I come to work to find out the news that DBD was shot and killed on stage. I immediately think how grateful I was that I met him and got his autograph. I pull it out of my backpack, and I swear to God it says...

"Opie,
Kill em dead!
Dimebag"

Those were the most eerie goosebumps I've ever felt in my life. It's framed in my office at home now.

Very cool post. I think you're right that many of those nu-metal bands just don't have timeless music. I found an old Sevendust of mine last week and put it on. I remembered how much I loved it when it came out, but after checking it out again I realized that almost none of the songs had held up well over time.

I saw Sevendust open for either Disturbed or Avenged Sevenfold about 5 years ago, I can't remember which one. I thought it was going to be cool because I had heard good things about them and knew a few of their songs.

I was very underwhelmed. It wasn't they were really bad or anything, but just...meh.

I remember in the 90's you would never hear Pantera on the radio, ever. Now its common place. Hell Pantera music is on commercials. I hear old Korn on the radio too all the time.

I've seen two opening bands there were awesome. Pantera for Sabbath back in 99, blew the doors off the arena in San Antonio. Then I saw Enslaved open for Amon Amarth here in Orlando a few years ago, excellent show.


Worst..that same Sabbath concert..Incubus opened for Pantera..worst worst worst thing I've ever seen next to maybe The Marshall Tucker Band playing at the Okalaoosa County Fair...

Incubus sucked? I love their studio stuff. Does it not translate well to live?

I see you're in Orlando, I'll admit, I've not been there in probably 30 years, so I don't know the market but here's my thoughts...

I've heard one Pantera song on a commercial (Hardee's/Carl's Jr, who are known for outside the box advertising), and do you hear anything other than 'Walk' on the radio, just curious? That's the only Pantera I've ever known to get actual air time, and it has as long as I can remember, albeit mostly at night or overnight hours.

I'd bet of the old Korn, you don't hear much other than Freak on a Leash, Got the Life, or Falling Away From Me. Maybe a once in a blue moon something other than those 3.

I'm not a huge fan of Incubus, but having them open for Pantera is not an optimal pairing for a live show.

For example, Chris Stapleton opened for GnR in Nashville last month. I love his short lived rock band, the Jompson Brothers, but having his solo show, which is still awesome even though it's country, on that bill? Odd, to say the least.

I still hear Twisted Transistor on 102.9 in Nashville, but even that's over a decade old. They do play their newer stuff around when it's released, like in 2011/2012 they would play "Get Up" and "Narcissistic Cannibal" and in 2013 they played "Spike in my Veins" and "Never Never" and I heard "Rotting in Vein" in the last few weeks. But after about a year after the release you only hear their older stuff again. Same with a group like Chevelle or Godsmack.

But to your point that's kind of how most artists are. Metallica I hear mostly Black Album and older, with the exception of "Fuel". Even Foo Fighters that has more mainstream appeal they still play mostly older stuff.

Hmm, I'd disagree with the Metallica. I feel like I hear mostly Black album, Load, or Reload. I'd actually like to hear more old stuff from them. And to my earlier point of Korn, doesn't it all sound like whatever album it was released on is irrelevant because it all sounds the same? That's how I feel about them, Godsmack, 5FDP, Disturbed, etc.

I was in Nashville this past weekend and wasn't in my car enough to listen to much, but I did listen to a bit of Lightning 100 and 102.9 the Buzz. Do you live there? If so, what is your preference between the two stations, and why? I'm just kind of curious about today's rock music and listening habits. Knoxville's has been kinda all over the place for the past few years, and I know both those stations have been in place in Nashville for quite some time.

I hear multiple Pantera songs on the radio. Obviously the best radio friendly ones I have heard songs from Cowboys From Hell to Reinventing The Steel.
