Please, no gothic, emo, or death bands.
Something like Godsmack
By heavy guitar and medium drumming I mean:
The guitar stands out more than anything else
The drumming is somewhere in the middle of the sound following the guitar
My description of music is f'in horrible  |
Your description is pretty perfect to me, but I'm glad you have a sense of humor. There are literally hundreds of excellent bands that I could recommend to you.
First of all, let me please ask you a few important questions that will GREATLY help to shape my specific recommendations to you:
How old are you?
Are you a musician?
If you were to name a single favorite band that has most inspired your patronage of the years, what band/artist would that be?

I have HUNDREDS of recommendations for you but I need to zero in a bit to figure out what recommendations you may already be familiar with.
Please answer me these questions:
How old are you?
Are you familiar with: Jimmy Thackery, Robin Trower or Frank Marino?

My personal favorite type of music
currently is of a heavy nature, but is fused with electronic sequencing & synthesis. Nu-Metal (and other moderately heavy/hard styles) of real musicianship meets IDM which is pretty much something that KMFDM invented. Some people call everything with distorted guitar samples "Industrial Metal" but to me it's just so diverse in orientation with respect to infused styles that I have a hard time just "lumping" it all into one big pot. I just tend to call it "Heavy/Funky Sequenced" music.
I have been doing my best to get into Limp Bizkit lately but their best songs are tough to listen to because of the immature gangsta rap mentality. Tough is good, but the ol' "Look at me, I'm gonna kick yer arse & I'm a bad motherfecker, I'm a bad mother wrecker, feck you and the rest of the world, I'm a bad muthah leper" is just too egotistical for me. Some of their lyrical content is COMPLETELY removed from this "kid who just got outta jail mentality" imaging howeve,r and is actually deep/meaningful as all heck. The one thing that stands tall and true for me though is the SUPERB axemanship. That guy is a monstrously good guitarist and the production value of the music itself as a whole is killer. I just try and block out the dumb ****z.
