Since I moved to NH just weeks ago I've noticed something. People here have no taste in music! My god it's like everyone is tone deaf. Now I see why good bands aren't created in New England. However if you are a typical wanna be cool college kid who's into ska and crap like that then its a good place to be.
Well my fav song today is Closer to the Edge by 30 Seconds to Mars.
Listen. Rock it. Love it.
Peace

So let's see....
Today the most common pop stars I saw on tv today were Lady Gaga, Justin Beiber, and Katy Perry. Personally I don't care about any of them, I think they're only in the business for the nice clothes and the thought that their faces get plastered all over the world. Not my idea of "music".
It's not everyday a band makes an album in which the fans voices and battle cries are heard in every song, or has fans faces plastered on every album in the world, all while dealing with a pretty hefty lawsuit. But 30 Seconds to Mars did it and after one large successful tour they are doing another round of national shows right now.
My point is, the music world needs to open their eyes a little more. See the great bands who are right here right now.
So to start off my top picks. I'm only going to let you know one right now because I'm pretty tired and this band, song, and video kicks ass.
Just months ago Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan was found dead in his home. The Rev was the drummer for the rock/metal band Avenged Sevenfold. A couple years ago I was lucky enough to see them in concert and the power that man created was phenomenal. The whole room changed when he started the song. After he died the band decided not to change the new album because The Rev had put a lot of ideas and work into the album and they felt it wouldn't be the same changing it. When the first single, Nightmare, was released just weeks ago fans went crazy with all the music video teasers only 30 seconds long. The video finally came out and when i saw it I kept saying to myself, who's the new drummer? Why aren't they showing the drummer? The video takes us through a mental hospital full of psychotic patients including band members hitting their heads against walls and well, acting crazy as M. Shadows is rushed down the hall on a gurney. At the very end when I thuoght the drummer would never be seen and remain a mystery, I saw it. The very last image you see is the Rev's drum set, empty on a dimly lit stage. Since he had recorded the song with them they felt it was best to honor his work.
As far as new drummer goes, I've heard rumor of the drummer from Dreamtheater. I'll look into that ASAP.
