Can I get away with a post about southern rock on here?

Speaking of Skynyrd...

Not a fan at all.Only Heavy Metal for me.

All of the mentioned above. May i add Marshall Tucker Band, Black Oak Arkansas and Drvin and Cryin to that list.

black oak arkansas is great. its a shame they were not bigger as david lee roth and jesse james dupree basically ripped off the stage persona of black oak arkansas' frontman

Jim Dandy to the rescue!

So I've been getting into a bit of southern rock lately (38 special, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Outlaws) Anyone have an opinion on this genre and any suggestions for other bands in the same vein please and thank you

BLACKFOOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also BLACK OAK ARKANSAS should be heard

The guy from Brother Cane wrote for Skid Row and Queensryche, so he's good people in my book.

I'm late to the party on this thread - but if you want a kick ass Southern Rock band check out Blackberry Smoke. I recently got into these guys via Zac Brown Band (same label).

REALLY good stuff. Start with the new one The Whippoorwill then move on to A Little Piece of Dixie. Both are excellent releases.

He was also the guitarist for some guy named Alice Cooper.

You should check out Creedence Clearwater Revival. But yeah, you can get away with it.

I can't honestly say that I am a ig fan of Kid Rock, but his latest song really kicks ass !! This is 2012 Southern Rock !!

I'm throw out David Allan Coe. It does not get much more "Southern" than Him (in attitude AND music). I'll also add Pantera, Damage plan, and Hellyeah if you want to keep the metal flowing......

the 2 heaviest southern rock bands are BLACKFOOT and MOLLY HATCHET. check them out

Fucking love Molly Hatchet. My guitar teacher let me borrow a compilation album of theirs. I would reccomend them to a metalhead who has gotten into southern rock.

Dude !! That is honestly one of my top twenty songs of all-time. No other Southern rock Song comes close. In fact, remove Boston and AC/DC from the mix and everything else in my top 20 is metal. Awesome song !!

Diary of a Working Man is also badass, though it takes a bit to warm up.

Molly Hatchet is pretty heavy

Blackfoot is sweet, I love the song 'Train, Train'

Also Clutch, I guess they could be more stoner rock but I've heard them referred to as southern.

I am proudly a metal-head. I have been for over 30 years. Will always be. However, this Southern Rock stuff can eat shit and fucking die !!!

Well, maybe not....... I have been a metal-head for over 30 years. 95% of what I listen to is metal. 27 years ago 95% of what I listened to was metal as well. I am a proud metal-head, but am just as proud of the other 5% music I listen to.
