Can any of you music snobs help me find another band that sounds kinda sorta like AFI?

Depends what part of AFI you want them to sound like, and what phase of AFI you liked.

 

If you like old AFI, you might want to check out Cold War, Ed Gein, From Autumn to Ashes or Poison the Well.

 

If you like new AFI, you should probably check out A Static Lullaby, Atreyu or Scars of Tomorrow, but don't blame me if you get really tired of them very quickly.

 

If you just like Davey Havok's voice, check out Son of Sam. It was a single release side project he did with members of the Misfits.

[Fenghuang]

I like new AFI, though I haven't listened to much of the old yet.

 

Also I like Davey Havok's voice because it's fun to sing along with since I can sing in approximately the same fashion.

[Blarghagh]

Black Sabbath

Iron Maiden

Guns 'N Roses' Appetite For Destruction

Pre-Black Album Metallica

Pantera

Opeth

Isis

Pelican

Rammstein

Blind Guardian

 

I also enjoy Manowar a lot, but only ironically, and Slipknot's 'Volume 3: Subliminal Verses' is a MAJOR guilty pleasure of mine.

 

Off-topic, Mr. Bulock's Avathar is one of the coolest things I have seen on this forum. Orneryboy for teh win.

Anyone who listens to Manowar and admits it gets brownie points.

 

Neutral, proge Opeth or the metal Opeth?

[Blarghagh]

Both, really. I don't really judge by what genre it sounds like more than I judge how good the guitar work is. Blackwater Park is the best guitar album I've ever heard.

 

I don't know why, but there's something just utterly liberating about screaming along with Manowar lyrics.

I'll take those brownie points. Manowar are awesome!

[Darth Drabek]

There's a metal band out there called "Pelican?"

 

 

Please tell me they are being ironic, because that's one of the funniest things I can imagine.

 

 

"Hello Des Moines! We are .... PELICAN!!!!!! Are you ready to ROCK?!?!?"

 

clap......clap....clap.

Cradle of Filth? Are you some kind of 15 year old goth chick?

 

Get yourself some Emperor or Arcturus or something. Hurry.

Meh. CoF had some good songs when they started out.

I saw that one coming a mile away. Still, Dusk and Her Embrace and Cruelty and The Beast were great. The rest are complete crapitude. What's Arcturus?

 

 

 

And I forgot Amorphis.

[Baley]

Arcturus are what CoF were supposed to be, good and somehow even gayer!

Okay, only their first album is actually good, but that, in the Black Metal world, is highly impressive.

[Plano Skywalker]

am I the only one here who likes to listen to some Yngwie?

[Blarghagh]

Probably not, but I think Yngwie, for all his shredding, makes helluva boring music.

In a sense, yes, but probably because the other music in the band is so overshadowed by what he does. If the music was "tighter", it would be fine.

 

He is definitely one of the key figures to ensure that melody never leaves the genre though. And that is worth something.

High fives your way!

No, I'm pretty sure it's because nothing he does has any substance. Random scale excercises and arpeggios really fast does not a composition make. Don't get me wrong, I respect him a lot as a guitar player, but as a songwriter? Not so much.

Your taste in music is **** and you can barely spell (I'm guessing mild retardation, but won't gamble on it just yet), I suggest you shut the **** up for now. Lurk. Read. Download a spell checker. Post. (in that order)
