1) Guns N' Roses - Chinese Democracy - YES, A HUGE RELEASE

6) Pearl Jam - Pearl Jam - PEARL JAM IS CONSIDERED A GRUNGE BAND, BUT THEY OFTEN PLAY LIKE A ROCK BAND

7) Black Light Burns - Cruel Melody (Wes Borland's new project, album is finished and due this year) - WHO THE FUCK IS THAT?

LOL, so out of all those bands Guns are the only ones who qualify as a rock band??? Me thinks not!
Go over to www.thepanicchannel.com and listen to the song 'Go On' it rocks!!

Oh and 'Contraband' doesn't sound like 'Grunge' to me. What makes you say that? Is it cos Scott's singing and he's from STP who a lot of people considered grunge? (But I don't, their rock to me too)

Mate, you need to broaden your musical horizons, "grunge" is just a stupid made-up word by the media to lump all those bands together when really they were just a new spin on rock n roll. And yes I'd consider all these upcoming releases "rock"

[metallex78]

I'll add these to that list of rock albums to look forward to in 2006!

Audioslave: Revelations - Due out in June

The Screaming Jets - The band have been debuting their entire new, (as of yet untitled), unreleased album at recent shows in Australia and it sounds killer! Aussie rock at it's best.

The Butterfly Effect: IMAGO - Another great Australian band, currently working on their second album with producer Joe Barresi (Tool). Their first album was like a mix of Tool, Deftones and Perfect Circle and is one of the best debut albums I own. The second album is said to be even better!

Metallica - Currently working on their follow up to St Anger with producer Rick Rubin. Lars has said that they're back to working how they did previously to St Anger, where him & James would go through riff tapes to come up with songs. Apparently 6 songs are completed (without vocals) and the album is due out late this year or early next.

grunge is basically rock without the blues...you take away the blues and you're left with dull, depressing music with no melody.

some of contraband isn't grunge...but a lot of it is...weiland's not the best at writing melody...not much personality to his voice...too bland.

No, "grunge" is a stupid made-up word to label a bunch of bands that came from the Seattle music scene but aside from that, sound nothing alike. There are so many great rock bands out there, stop limiting yourself with labels, do yourself a favour and go find them

As for STP and Pearl Jam having no melody? You must be listening to different bands to me...

[Hammy]

Metallica - New album is meant to have an old school flavour, i'll believe it when i see it, still if it does this album could be fantastic....
Monster Magnet - Stoner Rock Gods had a new album nearly finished before Wyndorf overdosed, still it should be out this year.....
Pearl Jam - Out soon (Already leaked...), Can't wait, i've loved pretty much all their stuff....
Roadstar - Formely Hurricane Party, only released an EP so far, great young rock act with obvious Aerosmith influences, seen 'em live 3 times this album should be great...
Guns N' Roses - Chinese Democracy?
Skid Row - New album, hopefully a tour, i am one of the fans on this new incarnation of the band, last album was damn solid, hopefully this will build on it......
Sebastian Bach - Former Skid Row frontman, who still maintains that wonderful voice should be getting an album out with his new band this year as well as the one he's in on that VH1 show....
Warrant - Good, solid album, nothing amazing but it's very enjoyable and 'safe'.  Only trouble with it is it sounds nothing like the Warrant we know and love....
Backyard Babies - People Like People Like People Like Us, already got this album, damn good effort not as good as previous albums IMHO, can't wait to see 'em at Download.....
Silvertide - Another fantastic newish band, loved Show & Tell and can't wait for the follow-up...

[Mr. Dick Purple]

There not that big over here.  That's why they are on the smallest stage at Download which is cool means less security, can get closer to the band and all.  I discovered them through this board actually, awesome band and this will be my first time seeing 'em....
