    Hard Rock fans, help me out!

    I'm displaced from college for almost 5 years now, so I have no idea what is currently good in the genre anymore. I could use some fresh music in my library. The last 3 CD's I played in my vehicle were AIC - Dirt, AIC - AIC, and STP - Thank You. Yeah, the 90's..

    Are there any good hard rock bands out there these days?

    PS - If you say Nickelback I am going to ignore every post from that post on, btw..

      I always qualify my statements on music by stating that I don't qualify as someone who can likely judge good music.

      With that said, my go-to rock bands are the Deftones, System of a Down, Nine Inch Nails, Tool, A Perfect Circle, and Rage Against the Machine with maybe a touch of Static-X and Fear Factory mixed in there somewhere.

        I have a lot of those bands in my library, I'd like to know if there is anything current that I may be missing out on..

          Motley Crue? Shinedown (for the most part)? Pantera? Disturbed?

            Like up and coming hard rock artists?

            I know I head a song or two by black stone cherry and thought they were decent..

              Not really as hard as the other ones mentioned, but as for mainstream hard rock you should give Breaking Benjamin a listen. Their new stuff is every bit as their good stuff IMO, but just as I said... tending a bit more toward mainstream stuff.

                  Are you interested in the sound of someone like Bullet for My Valentine? They're pretty good (they aren't up and coming though, they are already here I guess). My favorite band is Rise Against, but they are classified as punk rock.

                    I do have Bullet for My Valentine in my library, though I'd take it they are a bit heavier than hard rock I would guess. But yeah, I definitely like their stuff and heavier even. I think I'm OK on heavier stuff, I'm a metal fan true and true but I still like good hard rock which I'm having trouble finding stuff that is current.

                      yeah, Bullet is a little heavier than I usually listen to, but I like a lot of their stuff. I'm having a hard time finding new bands in the genre as well. I listen to Octane on Sirius XM and their hard rock is bands like Disturbed, Avenged Sevenfold, Sevendust, Godsmack, etc which i do consider hard rock but they are well established as well.

                        Yeah I'll say, those bands were out at least 10 years now

                        I guess it's not just me then..

                          How about Alter Bridge then? I'm not sure if they're what you're looking for either, I doubt it because they are more "mainstream metal" in a way, but with a singer with a straight up blissful voice (can hit five octaves, damn). I guess I'm not into the same kind of hard rock that others are in.

                          There's also a new up and coming band called Crooked X, you might want to check them out.
