Heavy Metal

This month, I will be blogging about heavy metal bands because I think I have not blogged about any famous bands lately and it was getting lame. So starting this blog I will be looking for sickest bands that I find. Also I might not know this band, so..... this will be an interesting experience for me.

YB

Hello!

Today's band is one of the well known Korean bands in Korea. This band was formed in 1997 and has won only one award in 2006. The band "Yoon Do Hyun Band" or YB was named after the main vocalist named Yoon Do Hyun. Overall this band is my favorite band in Korea because of Yoon Do Hyun's awesome voice.

So today I am going to link one of his newest album. The song is called "나는 나비," which mean I am a butterfly in english.

Filter

Hello!

Today I am going to talk about a Korean band I actually knew about. The band was formed in 1997 and the band consisted of four members. The band is named "CherryFilter," the reason being that they wanted toe express both femininity and masculinity, which makes no sense to me.  They made their first album in 2000 and over these years they won 2 awards. One in 2003 and another in 2007.

Im going to play a song I know well and its called "낭만 고양이." which means romantic cat. Anyway enjoy!

Resurrection

Hello!

The band I will talk about today was formed in 1986, by a man named Kim Tae-won (leader/guitarist). This band was originally named "The End," but as the year went past, they changed it to "Boohwal," which means resurrection in english. This band won two awards in 2009. So today I'll put their latest song which is called "누구나 사랑을 한다," which means anyone loves.

Korean Bands....

Hello!

I'm back my rock lovers. This month I am planing to blog about Korean bands, since I'm Korean. I won't say that they are the best, but still I felt like writing about them. I don't know what it is, but all asian bands lack something that legendary bands like AC/DC or Dio has. Anyway this month I'll be talking about them.

Top 6: Hinder

Hello!

Today I going to talk about a  band called Hinder. This Band was form in 2001, by Cody Hanson (Drummer). Even though this band formed in 2001, they were able to get inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame. They made three albums and 12 song.

The song that made them go into sixth place in the modern rock chart is called "Lips of an Angel." I recommend this song for the people who like sad songs.

Top 5: Papa Roach

Hello!

Today Im going to talk about a rockband called Papa Roach. This band formed in 1993 by Jacoby Shaddix (lead  vocals), but they weren't known to the world until the year of 2000 when they released their album named Infest. Overall they sold 10 million albums worldwide. Some of their known albums are "Last resort," "She Loves Me Not," "Scars," and many more.

The song that made them fifth place in the modern rock music chart is called "To Be Loved," this song is very catchy, but the music video is inappropriate so I just recommend you guys to just listen to it.

Top 4: Breaking Benjamin

Hello!

Today Im going to talk about a rock band called Breaking Benjamin. This band formed in 1998, by Ben Burly ( lead vocals) but the band became famous in 2002. They only made 4 albums, so they are not that famous.

The song, which made them them fourth in the modern rock chart is a song called "The Diary of Jane," this song is very depressing in a way, but it's metal so I guess it's ok.

Sorry...

Hello!

I am so sorry blog viewers. I said that I was going to tell you guys the top 4 modern rock bands but I only posted up to top 3. I have decided to tell you until the top 6 now :D! So lets be happy!

Slave?

Hello!

The rockband I'm going talk about today was formed in 2001 and the genre of their music is hard rock. The band is called the Audioslave. I personally don't like this band and if you are a fan of heavy metal, I don;t recommend this band to you. Other then this, the band wanted to name themselves the Civilians, but the name was already taken so they named themselves the Audioslave.

Since the band was formed in 2001, they don't have a lot of background information. So I'm going to post one of the song from the album "Revelations" called the "Original Fire."

Red & Hot...

Hello!

The band I'm going to tell you about today is very unique. The band is called the Red Hot Chili Peppers. They were formed in 1983 by Anthony Kiedis, Hillel Slovak, Flea, and Jack Irons. This band's music style was very different from other bands, Funk Rock.

Overall the band won 7 Grammy Award and sold 60million albums worldwide! The song I'm going post for you today is called "Tell Me Baby." This song is very catchy and it even has rap in it!

SUPER SOUR

Hello!

Are you guys ready because I am! This rock band is currently ranked 4th place in the modern rock chart. A band called Stone Sour. They were formed in 1992 by Corey Taylor and they had two of my favorite rockstars Corey Taylor and Jim Root from Slipknot! Unfortunately the band was disband in 1997 because Taylor and Root left the band to join Slipknot. The band eventually reunited in 2002.

The group won 2 Grammy Awards nominations for Best Metal Performance in 2003 and 2004. The song I'm going to post today is not heavy metal, but the music video is very unique.

Modern Rock

Hello I'm back rock lovers!

Since I only talked about the old bands, you guys probably don't know much about the modern bands. So I've decided to write about the top 4 modern rock bands starting next post, so if you want to see a little sneak peek at the bands go to this site => http://modernrock.com/charts/. This site is great! I've heard some good songs from here. I was really surprised because the rock bands really changed over time. Maybe it's because I just listen to heavy metal, but now the vocalists don't sing in high pitched voices anymore. 

Till we meet again Adios my fellow rock lovers! 

Earlier works..

Hello!

I noticed that I haven't really talked about any of the bands that formed in the late 1900's and the early 2000's, so I've decided to talk about a band called DragonForce.

My friend told me about this band when I lived in Canada. I wanted tell you about them today because I think that they have amazing guitar solos and songs.

This band formed in 1999 by a British Chinese guitarist named Herman Li and Sam Totman. They only made four albums, since they formed in 1999.

 One of their most famous song is called "Through the Fire and Flames."

Torture Device!!!!!

Hello! How are you doing? Today I'll be talking about a torture device made in 1793 called the iron virgin/ maiden. I'm just joking! Why would I be talking about a torture device when this blog is all about rock! But I will be talking about the band called Iron Maiden.

This band formed in 1975 by a bassist name Steve Harris. They made a total of 31 albums and was one of the successful bands.

They sold 85million copies of their albums worldwide. Their latest album was made in August 13th, 2010 and was called "Final Frontier".

This music has an amazing music video enjoy!

My Favorite Band #4

I totally forgot to tell you people about my fourth favorite band! I know that you know this band. It is Metallica.

Metallica first formed in 1981, when  Lars Ulrich (drummer) put an advertisement on a local newspaper.

This band has won vast amounts of awards and sold about 100million albums worldwide, which is the same amount that Guns N' Roses!

Some of their songs are "Seek and Destroy", "For Whom The Bell Tolls", and many more!
The song/album "Master of Puppets" was probably their best hit because this album was known as one of the most influential and "heavy" thrash metal albums.

Please enjoy this song!

It's been a long time...

Hello rock lovers! I am sorry for not making any new posts. Lately I've been busy doing school projects and studying for exams.

A few days ago I watched a movie named "Tenacious D and The Pick of Destiny." In the beginning of the movie a man named Ronnie James Dio comes out as JB's (Jack Black) idol, so I looked him up and he had some good songs.

Ronnie James Dio was born in 1942 and passed away a few months ago on May 16th, 2010 of cancer at the age of 64. Ronnie Dio started forming bands in his freshman year in University, but he started his musical career in 1957. His first band was called The Vegas Kings.
The band changed their names several times. The name went from Ronnie and the Rumblers to Ronnie and the Redcaps and from Ronnie and the Redcaps to Ronnie Dio and The Prophets. In 1976 the band disbanded after several members leaving from the band for some other bands.

Later on Dio joined three bands and formed two bands:

• He joined Elf in 1969.
• He joined Rainbow in 1975.
• He joined Black Sabbath in 1979.
• He formed his own band called Dio in 1982.
• Finally Dio joined with Black Sabbath and made a band named Heaven & Hell in 2006.

The album Heaven & Hell was the last album made from Dio and Black Sabbath. I truly hope that Ronnie James Dio can be remembered as a legend for all the rock lovers out there.

This was one of the last song that Ronnie James Dio sang in and it is called "Atom of Evil" enjoy!
