Help with music

Hey guys, I recently started listening to music again and since I'm from Russia I have no idea what good bands there are in America. I have heard of Dragonforce and I've liked it but that's about it. I like that type of fast paced music. No death metal please, it's very hard to understand when someone is trying to talk like they are the devil or they are possessed.
Please share some links to YouTube videos if possible with the names of the bands and the type of music that they make. Thank you.

try this:

Metallica
Dream Theater
Rage against the machine
Incubus
Blink 182
Lamb of God
Foo Fighters
Sum 41
Plus 44
Box car racers

enjoy... :D :D :D

Seeing as you somehow enjoy Dragonforce, you might enjoy some other Power Metal bands (and the likes):

Helloween
Gamma Ray
Stratovarius
Edguy
Hammerfall
Sonata Arctica
Nocturnal Rites
Axxis
Avantasia
Lost Horizon
Rhapsody (of Fire)
Twilightning

Please note that none of these bands are American, but since Dragonforce isn't American either, I figured you wouldn't mind. All of these bands have fast paced music like Dragonforce have, but they also have songs below 1000000 beats per minute. :wink:

My brother tells me Dragonforce are speed metal, and he knows more about metal than me. I don't know of any other bands that are quite like Dragonforce(though I'm sure some are out there). Here are some metal bands that I, as someone who likes DForce, like and that I think have some similarities in their appeal.

Iron Maiden - The Trooper


Dream Theater - Metropolis part 1: The Miracle and the Sleeper(Though Dream Theater is progressive metal, and much of their music is more complex than other metal)


Motley Crue - Kickstart my Heart


Slayer - Raining Blood(this is thrash metal and has screaming and singing, but it has really cool aleatoric sections and Slayer plays fast tempos like DForce)


Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction - Prime Mover(hilarious video)


Dio - Rainbow in the Dark


Judas Priest - Living After Midnight


Those are my ideas, most of those groups are very well respected metal bands.

Avenged Sevenfold really rocks for me.

Something easy to listen to.


A bit hard.




Also Dream Theater.





And try MUSE, too.

Thanks for giving so many things to try out. An even bigger thanks to the last two posts for giving youtube links. I'll try to listen to all of them.

I just made a few quick thoughts on "fast music, has to be American" (yeah guys hes asking for American bands)

I wouldve included death metal bands, but you asked for it to be out so this should fit the criteria you set. (though some of these bands have been mentioned already)



Also, holy shit, necrobump, I just now realized.
