grahamH Posted January 13, 2012 at 11:24 PM Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 at 11:24 PM I asked for some reccomendations for Chinese rock on Lang-8 and got some good suggestions like 许巍, which was a bit softer than I was looking for and 扭曲的机器 which was a bit too heavy. I know, I'm like a rock 'n' roll Goldilocks... Does anyone have any good suggestions for Chinese rock music, not exactly like but in a similar vein as Guns n Roses, Black Sabbath, Van Halen and so on. Both Mandarin and Cantonese suggestions welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gato Posted January 14, 2012 at 03:20 AM Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 at 03:20 AM Death metal seem to be more prevalent than G 'n R and Black Sabbath in the Chinese metal scene (I'd like to hear a Chinese version of "War Pigs"). If you would be interested in some alternative rock, there are some choices. I like these groups: The Gar (嘎调): http://site.douban.com/thegar/ Bidstriking: http://site.douban.com/birdstriking/ Mr. Graceless: http://site.douban.com/mrgraceless/ Carsick Cars: http://site.douban.com/carsickcars/ Joyside: http://site.douban.com/joyside/ Also check out these threads: http://www.chinese-f...nd-death-metal/ Black metal and death metal http://www.chinese-f...lia-indie-rock/ Neo-psychedelia, Indie rock http://www.chinese-f...-to-you-by-d22/ chinese punk, rock, indie, noise brought to you by D22! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamH Posted January 14, 2012 at 12:32 PM Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 at 12:32 PM Cheers Gato! I love Carsick Cars's sound, very cool. I've just listened to Magpie by Birdstriking and hoping that is only the tip of the iceberg, man, they knocked that track out of the park! I've been a fan of Joyside for a while, I love there punk album. Anyway I gush over good music all day, but I won't, thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
