Any metalheads here listen to Volbeat?

[ShadezMcgee]

Been listening to their latest album today. Something I found interesting about metal bands in Europe is that regardless if it is power metal or more mainstream metal, they like delving into history and cultures telling stories of certain individuals, events or places.

Volbeat has done tributes to Doc Holliday, Black Bart, the Temple of Ekur, Lola Montez, A Warrior's Call (for Danish boxer Mikkel Keesler).

VOLBEAT?

I'm not into metal. Closest band I liked like that was Killswitch Engage and that was 2007 me. This sounds like a question for @420Rachel, though. That girl loves this kind of sh*t.

Funny thing is that the picture here is what popped into my head when I first heard about them too. Understandable. I am in the minority when it comes to metalheads on the site here. I would be surprised if @420Rachel heard about them, but she listens to heavier shit

I worked two Volbeat concerts in the USA. I'd say they were "light" heavy metal, and a lot more melodic than most metal bands, especially the really dark, hell noise satanic ones. They actually did a Johnny Cash song - it was very cool.

Nice. I only got a chance to see them live once, but I enjoyed them. I think they are categorized as heavy metal, groove and light

i really like lola montez,

[ShadezMcgee]

That is one of my favorites from Outlaws and Shay Ladies. Up there with The Hangman's Body Count, Doc Holliday, Cape of Our Hero

I also like their songs Still Counting and Marie Laveau but I'll be honest, thats sort of the only one's I've listened to from them. I'll have to take a listen to their other stuff :D

[ShadezMcgee]

Yup, Still Counting was the first one I ever heard from them.

I will have to check them out

Not my style.
