Bands that shred

Derek Zoolander · 02-11-2010, 09:48 AM

Looking for some new tunes to rock out to at work.. good guitar shredding.
Iron Maiden, The Who, White Stripes, RHCP, GnR, etc.
I am not looking for heavy metal like Children of Bodom!!
I'm looking for CLEAN riffs and NO screamo voices.
Suggestions?

BigDog · 02-11-2010, 10:45 AM

do you need anything other than Iron Maiden?

Derek Zoolander · 02-11-2010, 10:52 AM

That is true. Their level of shredding trumps raptor jesus.

KingOfJericho · 02-11-2010, 11:27 AM

So the White Stripes is the most current music in your portfolio? Also, The White Stripes make the John Mayer sound like Slayer.

SantaPimp27 · 02-11-2010, 11:28 AM

robert randolph and the family band. he kills it on the pedal steel guitar (might not be the sound your looking for) but a good guitarist is a good guitarist

No? and Jack White is amazing.

racer x - technical difficulties, viking kong, godzilla

too much shred for one to handle!

Wolfmother

PINeely · 02-11-2010, 12:02 PM

If you like Iron Maiden you'll like Judas Priest too. VERY similar bands.

And for shredding, Dragonforce is the band you need.

Derek Zoolander · 02-11-2010, 12:16 PM

Yeah, I'm not looking for like crazy metal. I like clean verses with sick solos.
Avenged Sevenfold is good, but I'm not looking for anything crazier than them.

MontegoGoGoGo · 02-11-2010, 12:16 PM

Not the genre you're looking for, but definitely some of the best of all time:

Eric Clapton
Joe Satriani
Jimi Hendrix
Jimmy Page (Led Zep)
SRV

KingOfJericho · 02-11-2010, 12:17 PM

What about something a little more current like Bullet For My Valentine or It Dies Today? Along the same lines as A7X would be Atreyu.

B4MV is definitely that guitar solo shredding music that works well for me at the gym.

If someone needs parenthesis to tell them who Jimmy Page is, they don't deserve to hear the sweet intro to "Over the Hills and Far Away"...Just kidding.

But you mention everyone in the Yardbirds but no love for Jeff Beck?

BillLee · 02-11-2010, 01:38 PM

how about some pantera?

I was just about to say, WTF! No Pantera love?!?!

Might not be what you're looking for but I like, Poison The Well, for some heavier stuff.

Avenged sevenfolds first few cd's were sick but then they went too poppy for me. The Dead Weather, Jack White's new band, is rad and check out Every Time I Die. They've won a bunch of awards from music publications. Theyre a metal band who know not to get too serious and are all about fun. For Dead Weather get 'Treat Me Like You're Mother'. For ETID get Ebolorama, The New Black, and Werewolf. Also look into funeral for a friends first ep

Storm · 02-11-2010, 02:18 PM

Gojira
Children of Bodom
As I Lay Dying
Meshuggah

Derek Zoolander · 02-11-2010, 02:25 PM

nmulax · 02-11-2010, 02:32 PM

Sinergy
Sonata Artica
Bullet For My Valentine
Burn Halo
Demon Hunter
In Flames
Tourniquet
From Autumn to Ashes (you'd probably like the cd "Abandon Your Friends")

KingOfJericho · 02-11-2010, 03:17 PM

OP, I think your definition of "shred" is different than most.

Peanuto · 02-11-2010, 05:22 PM

Versailles. Japanese metal band very technical no yelling

I know what shredding is. I should have been more specific in my OP about the type I'm looking for.
