bands who never got their due

[Dead Winter]

Post vids of all the bands you think were either slighted by a music trend, be it their own fault or not, or whether you think they were just completely brushed off with no real reason.

This comes to mind:



As well as this guy. I've got news for you kids, Kip Winger and Reb Beach and all the rest of the guys in Winger had more talent in one finger than most "real metal" musicians have in their entire bodies. This would be an example of them shooting themselves in the foot by following the glam trend when they should've just played what they felt and not sell out to make a few million.

I've still got a soft spot in my heart for this gay ass ballad from Winger...this takes me back to when I was a kid...I think I was like 11 or 12:

And this is something a little more indicative of his songwriting ability and what he's doing now:

FATES WARNING! All you little Dream Theater lovin pussies should show the proper respect, as sadly most don't.

Powermad is another great band.

I'll post more as I think of them. I don't have time for vids at the moment.

kip is amazing! i saw his acoustic show in november and man... it was really special, he is a fantastic musician, a friendly guy, and one of the nicest guy i've ever met in the music scene.

here is one song from that show, the crowd was a little bit loud :

I've read the title and instantly though of Extreme... then I clicked the thread and

Just heard their new record a few minutes ago. It's so fuckin' great but hardly anybody seems to notice...

 

[Psychonaut]

This is easy. Anacrusis. They were WAY ahead of their time and unfortunately people didn't catch on.

 

[Dead Winter]

Holy crap those are some awesome songs! How did these guys slip under the radar?

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Whats with these threads? What is this, a music forum?

 

[Macharius]

Alestorm!

 

[Nocturna89]

Sort of

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Alestorm!

uke:
Also, weren't they formed just a few years ago? Hard to say a band "never got their due" when they've been around for no more than half a decade. Additionally, every single fucking jolly folk trendster is gay for Alestorm. Terrible fucking band.

[Macharius]

^O.O that was awesome

I was joking about alestorm by the way.

 

[Brooks]

I MOTHER EARTH

Killer Canadian spacey groovey rock band. Total sickness.

This vid's long, but worth it!

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Yes, they were both: way ahead of their time while being a bit too late on the scene.

They made all their albums available for free download many years ago:

Get it. Love it. Shake your head at the fact that hardly anybody took notice of them.

Highly recommended for people who like Coroner, Toxik, Mekong Delta etc.
