LOL, so out of all those bands Guns are the only ones who qualify as a rock band??? Me thinks not!
Go over to www.thepanicchannel.com and listen to the song 'Go On' it rocks!!

Oh and 'Contraband' doesn't sound like 'Grunge' to me. What makes you say that? Is it cos Scott's singing and he's from STP who a lot of people considered grunge? (But I don't, their rock to me too)

Mate, you need to broaden your musical horizons, "grunge" is just a stupid made-up word by the media to lump all those bands together when really they were just a new spin on rock n roll. And yes I'd consider all these upcoming releases "rock"

[metallex78]

I'll add these to that list of rock albums to look forward to in 2006!

Audioslave: Revelations - Due out in June

The Screaming Jets - The band have been debuting their entire new, (as of yet untitled), unreleased album at recent shows in Australia and it sounds killer! Aussie rock at it's best.

The Butterfly Effect: IMAGO - Another great Australian band, currently working on their second album with producer Joe Barresi (Tool). Their first album was like a mix of Tool, Deftones and Perfect Circle and is one of the best debut albums I own. The second album is said to be even better!

Metallica - Currently working on their follow up to St Anger with producer Rick Rubin. Lars has said that they're back to working how they did previously to St Anger, where him & James would go through riff tapes to come up with songs. Apparently 6 songs are completed (without vocals) and the album is due out late this year or early next.

grunge is basically rock without the blues...you take away the blues and you're left with dull, depressing music with no melody.

some of contraband isn't grunge...but a lot of it is...weiland's not the best at writing melody...not much personality to his voice...too bland.

No, "grunge" is a stupid made-up word to label a bunch of bands that came from the Seattle music scene but aside from that, sound nothing alike. There are so many great rock bands out there, stop limiting yourself with labels, do yourself a favour and go find them

As for STP and Pearl Jam having no melody? You must be listening to different bands to me...

[Hammy]

Metallica - New album is meant to have an old school flavour, i'll believe it when i see it, still if it does this album could be fantastic....
Monster Magnet - Stoner Rock Gods had a new album nearly finished before Wyndorf overdosed, still it should be out this year.....
Pearl Jam - Out soon (Already leaked...), Can't wait, i've loved pretty much all their stuff....
Roadstar - Formely Hurricane Party, only released an EP so far, great young rock act with obvious Aerosmith influences, seen 'em live 3 times this album should be great...
Guns N' Roses - Chinese Democracy?
Skid Row - New album, hopefully a tour, i am one of the fans on this new incarnation of the band, last album was damn solid, hopefully this will build on it......
Sebastian Bach - Former Skid Row frontman, who still maintains that wonderful voice should be getting an album out with his new band this year as well as the one he's in on that VH1 show....
Warrant - Good, solid album, nothing amazing but it's very enjoyable and 'safe'.  Only trouble with it is it sounds nothing like the Warrant we know and love....
Backyard Babies - People Like People Like People Like Us, already got this album, damn good effort not as good as previous albums IMHO, can't wait to see 'em at Download.....
Silvertide - Another fantastic newish band, loved Show & Tell and can't wait for the follow-up...

[Mr. Dick Purple]

Ahem Iron Maiden is making a new album that's is gonna be realease this year 

[Nighteyes]

Backyard Babies - People Like People Like People Like Us, already got this album, damn good effort not as good as previous albums IMHO, can't wait to see 'em at Download.....

I wasn't aware Audioslave were releasing another album so soon after 'Out of Exile'. In that case consider that added to my list also!

[GNFNR_UK]

Ahem Iron Maiden is making a new album that's is gonna be realease this year?

Yes you're right, I only found out about that today (After I made the post). Apparantly it's due this winter and the guitar is said to be amazing (Hell, it's Maiden I wouldn't expect anything less!).

I look forward to this release also. 

[Malcolm]

and
AC/DC
Ozzy

[damien24]

The mighty TOOL are putting out an album too-   


DR. DRE is also supposed to put out his album this year too-  it aint rock but its still notable.

[Gordi]

I agree the rock is back this year.

Dirty Pretty Things - Waterloo To Anywhere

Pearl Jam - Pearl Jam

The Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldiers

Neil Young - Living With War

Living Things - Ahead Of The Lions

Those are ones I'm enjoying/looking forward to.

There not that big over here.  That's why they are on the smallest stage at Download which is cool means less security, can get closer to the band and all.  I discovered them through this board actually, awesome band and this will be my first time seeing 'em....

Roadstars album is out may and it can only be bought from there site over the net. due to record labels sucking ass and not signing them.

[Thorned Rose]

This year really is the best year for music since the 91-95 era....

Every major band is pumping an album out of some sort this year... and that's sweet.

[BLS-Pride]

Brand New Sin reissued debut CD
New Ozzy
New Metallica
BLS - Shot to Hell
Baz - Angel Down

[da_pope]

Best Album Released  So Far This Year:

"Fifteen" - Buckcherry.

[Thorned Rose]

I agree as the best overall "album".

[Thorned Rose]

Gin Blossoms, Soul Asylum, Guns N' Roses, Velvet Revolver, Audioslave, Dashboard Confessional... a lot to come still....


Rock out!

[Danny Top Hat]

Silvertide - Another fantastic newish band, loved Show & Tell and can't wait for the follow-up...

I thought they'd split up!  It's great that they've got a new album coming.


Muse are releasing a new album this year, and I heard Blur are releasing a punk rock record sometime as well.  I can't wait for that - I think it's awesome that Damon's willing to try something a bit risky instead of sitting back on the Gorillaz like he could've done.  It's just a shame Graham's still being a nob about everything.

[Jim]

I remember reading an interview with Damon a month or two back, and he expressed his fears that Gorillaz may never be able to top Demon Days. And, he's got a point.   

But, a punk rock Blur record? Count me in.

[R4tfink]

If Graham goes back to Blur and they release a punk album, id buy it. Coxon makes some kickass music.

grunge is basically rock without the blues...you take away the blues and you're left with dull, depressing music with no melody.

err bollocks?

i find it funny how you say rock without blues is depressing when blues is a form of depressive music, obviously not as it went on and got mixed and so ever but the basis of it is.

so your telling me, that, any form of rock music that doesnt have blues, is grunge? i think someone needs to check there head.

[pasnow]

Yeah, to qualify VR as "Grunge" is way off. How can you say Slash is a Grunge guitarist?? Grunge conisted of 4 chords & a distortion pedal, like Bush & Seven Mary Three.. (I named the crappy Grunge bands on purpose).

Back On Topic, in addition another heavyweight 90's band coming back is Smashing Pumpkins, I'm sure their not everyone's fav here but if Billy Corgan can ditch the goth sound and kick out some mean guitar like Siamese Dream I think we'll all be pretty syked..

Also, a new band worth checking out is Wolfmother.. Sounds ALOT like early 70's Zeppelin.?
