Looking for some new groups to look into.
Grown a bit stagnant in my collection.

Particularly fond of bands that still believe in guitar solos.

Can you give me some examples of bands that you currently listen to? I'm a metal head myself and can makes lots of suggestions, but they could be way off base. Most of my metal bands though don't tend to have runaway guitar solos though :)

I'm pretty flexible really
anything from more 'classic' hard rock
i.e. ac/dc

To more recent progressive metal
i.e. anterior
