[splinter8451]

Steve Vai
Dream Theater
Animals As Leader/ Tosin Abasi
Periphery
Devin Townsend

Ahh last one was a tough call. I wanted to put SikTh somewhere in there but Devin Townsend is too influential to leave out.

Hmmm looking at my old list... I really need to include Chimp Spanner in there.

But I can't seem to remove any of them.

So, if anyone dislikes someone on my list they can replace that artist with Chimp Spanner or SikTh

[BrainArt]

I can't narrow it down to 5, so I'll post the same number of bands that are on my main guitar..... 7.

Vai
Dream Theater
Korn
Meshuggah
Deftones
SikTh
Rammstein

My list has changed slightly. So I'm going to add on to it 3 more bands. Fear Factory, Divine Heresy, and leonardo7's band; Simoom. Peep my sig for the link to the latter.

 

[Daemoniac]

I do believe Rob Zombie has entered my top 5 recently... In fact, it's rather shock-rock oriented at the moment, i'm in the mood for simple grooves and massive percussion So something along the lines of;

16Volt
American Head Charge
Rob Zombie
Marilyn Manson
Korn


... I know, I should be ashamed

 

[x178x]

Man... I wish I shared musical interests with people here.

 

[zimbloth]

Type O Negative
Dimmu Borgir
Arch Enemy
Nevermore
Cradle of Filth

For metal anyways. About 5-10 other bands could easily be in there too. Old Fear Factory, Machine Head, Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth, Hypocrisy, etc are definitely up there too.

 

[Daemoniac]

I'm tempted to throw in Cypress Hill and Wu-Tang Clan as well, i've been fair obsessed with them of late as well

Cypress Hill's "Black Sunday" rules.

 

[Daemoniac]

I generally love them, there are a couple of song exceptions, but i love all their albums in general They always put me in a good mood

 

[D0mn8r]

Bal-Sagoth
Cannibal Corpse
Deicide
Man Must Die
Satriani

(Top 3 were easy, its that last 2 that change regularly...)

 

[-K4G-]

2009:

Animals As Leaders
Cynic
Vehemence
Periphery
Dillinger Escape Plan
Sikth

 

[DavyH]

Hmmm....

Some don't ever change:
Iron Maiden
Fear Factory
Rammstein
Cradle of Filth
something proggy.... probably Porcupine Tree at the moment, but King Crimson or Floyd could be slotted in instead.
