Hey cool! Somebody mentioned Red Fang. There are tons of I guess, so called under ground bands that most guys on this site I bet have never heard of. Red Fang is one of them......how about Fu Manchu or Clutch. I myself play in an original (no vocals) hard rock band called ELECTRIC MAGMA. The band just released their sixth full length album exclusively on vinyl. It was mastered by Scott Reeder (KYUSS). You can check out our stuff anywhere over the internet. So yes........for me hard rock is alive and well......everyday!Cool1
I'll check out your band, since I like all of what you've mentioned (with the exception of Kyuss, and thats only because I'm not a fan of John Garcia's vocals. Lately I've been into Earthless and Golden Void. Same guitarist. QotSA should probably be thanked for getting recognition to a lot of bands, and obviously Dave Grohl is the reason they went from a band that only a few friends and I knew about nearly a household name.
Speaking of Fu Manchu, what do you think of Nebula? I got to see them with The Hellacopters a few years back and it was a superb show!
