Old man needs help.

Ok here it is. As an awld bastid I'm totally useless with new music. I have an ecclectic taste but no idea what/who most of these new bands are. So I'm after some advice from you rabble. Something different would be great.

Some of the music I like:

Foo Fighters
Metallica
Linkin Park
Iron Maiden
Kings of Leon
Snow Patrol
Paramore
Lost Prophets
Sting/The Police
etc etc etc

So any ideas you got would be great!!!

cheers peeps

Like quite a few of those artists..... so will throw a few other artists out there to see if any stick....

The Gaslight Anthem
Editors
Interpol
Queens of the Stone Age

and of course the ever faithfull golden oldies Pearl Jam!!!

Love both Queens of the Stone Age and Pearl Jam. I defy anyone to say they haven't rocked to 'Jeremy'!

Will deffo look at those others Ego. cheers man. xMwahx

soundgarden, mew, paradsie lost, anathema

try an old british band called the Almighty...very brilliant

Sweet guys, keep em coming. My Itunes is sweating but we aint there yet!!

try another brit band...THUNDER

Axl Rose is a huge fan

God Thunder and Almighty,,,, they bring back memories..... Thunder are still playing,,,, seen em both loads of times!

Avenged Sevenfold?

definitely Interpol and The Editors also Muse maybe

metal Napalm Death and maybe his dub stuff under the name Scorn

I could suggest Bad Brains - although their later stuff rather than earlier releases maybe more appealing - maybe even Fishbone

if you were interested in expanding your current musical taste - could give loads of things to fill your ipod

muse and bloc party for the win

I'll 2nd avenged sevenfold,

and to throw one right out there try Nightwish bit different but I like

Love Nightwish and Muse. Have heard some of Avenged Sevenfold but not much.

Good call on Bad Brains, Izzy. Very hardcore punk.

theres a lot of closet thunderheads here mate. backstreet synphony is the most underrated britsh rock album ever, however guys i,m pretty sure they just split again.

saw them at donington in 90 and 92. fecking great live act.

If you got metallica's stuff, you don't need anyone else

A band called 'tool' have a similar metallica sound.

You might have missed them first time round, but used to love therapy?. Dream theatre are good for ballady musical songs.

Just play brutal legend and hear the legends at work (wot no meatloaf? )

Perfect circle - check out 3 libras, and the rest of the first cd.
