Here lately my buddies have been throwing in some old school Metallica, AC-DC, and stuff like that. And the certain songs they are playing, I really like. Now I don't really know a whole lot about old rock, but I would like to start listening to some. Are there any certain songs you guys recommend? I would say from about 1999 or earlier. Thanks.

Check out some Iron Maiden. They have tons of good stuff. Fear of the Dark would be my fav.

Alice Cooper is cool.

Blind Guardian is a pretty good band, but they're kinda out there. Mirror Mirror is a sweet song.

Ratt is a sweet band, get Lay It Down

Sometimes I'm in a Slayer mood, feel free to get some of them. Raining Blood, South of Heaven, Black Magic. Whatever.

And yeah, can't forget about Journey ¬_¬

Two words: "Back Sabbath", Get "Iron Man."

Also Ozzy Osbourne did good single work too like "Crazy Train."

Plus everyone loves Nirvana. "Heart Shaped Box", "Drain You", "Rape Me", "Dumb", jesus they are the best.

Of course, you can't go wrong with some Cradle of Filth either, but it takes a special type to like Cradle.

Haha I was thinking of suggesting CoF... but if he's just getting into metal, I don't think he'd be ready <_<

Get Alice in Chains! AiC > Nirvana

Frank Zappa > Everything

No doubt about it. If you like Frank Zappa, then check out Black Randy and the Metrosquad. Very similar to Zappa, except that they were part of the west coast punk scene, playing at the Masque and such.

I'd also like to recommend MC5, the Stooges, the Sonics, the Monks, Link Wray and his Wraymen, The Ventures, and the New York Dolls. Some rock and roll that covers the 50s, 60s, and 70s for you.

It's not real hard rock, but I'm a Tom Petty fiend. A lot of times (like now) he has the best song for the moment...

Bon "FUCKING" Jovi - Livin' on a Prayer, Wanted Dead or Alive

Boston - More than a Feeling, Man I could Never Be (it's a ballad)

Steve Miller Band - anything off the Greatest Hits CD

Deep Purple - Space Truckin'

AC/DC - Have a Drink on Me

Ted Nugent - Wango Tango

Queen - anything, really....anything

KISS - again, anything

Megadeth - Kill the King

Dream Theater

Trust me.

DT is pretty sweet... I have one of their live dvds, they put on quite the show. I'm mostly interested in them for Petrucci though, he's one of my favorite guitarists.

I'm not a big enough Zappa fan to totally agree with you but I will say he put out some great stuff (crazy stuff!). I really liked Joe's Garage. My uncle played that all the time when I was a kid (still does) and got me into it. Have you ever heard Steve Vai's first album (I actually had it on vinyl)? It was called Flex-able. He did it at Zappa's studio. Zappa was a huge influence on in and was helping him get started.

As for other music, jason_daronlane and squancho made some nice suggestions. I'd also like to add the following... (I could list hundreds, probably thousands, but I I reccomend these in particular)

AC/DC - If You Want Blood (You've Got It)

AC/DC - Girl's Got Rhythm

AC/DC - For Those About To Rock

Aerosmith - Seasons Of Whither

Aerosmith - Mama Kin

Black Sabbath - Sweet Leaf

Black Sabbath - War Pigs

Black Crows - Hard To Handle

Black Crows - Jealous Again

Deep Purple - Highway Star

Deep Purple - My Woman From Tokyo

Deep Purple - Hush

Golden Earring - Radar Love

James Gang - Funk #49

Kansas - Carry On My Wayward Son

Kansas - Dust In The Wind

Kiss - Cold Gin

Kiss - Detroit Rock City

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Tuesday's Gone

Meat Loaf - For Crying Out Loud

Meat Loaf - Paradise By The Dashboard Lights

Megadeth - In My Darkest Hour

Megadeth - Peace Sells

There is SO much wrong with that post that I don't even know where to begin...

If you're going to check out Black Sabbath, then look for N.I.B., Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Sabbra Cadabra, War Pigs, Heaven And Hell and Headless Cross.

And if you're going to look for Ozzy's solo stuff, you can do a lot better than Crazy Train. Check out Mr. Crowley, Perry Mason, Gets Me Through or No More Tears.

Personally, if you're in a metal mood then I suggest Dragonforce, Dream Theater, Rush, The Cult and White Zombie.
