These are a few songs I'm into right now, and I was wondering if anyone knew anything I might also like that is similar; it can be by the same bands except in a couple of cases (where I already know a lot of their music).

Room 409 - Bullet For My Valentine

I already know most of Bullet's stuff, so other bands would be great.

Mr Brightside - Killers

If it's another song by them, something other than on Hot Fuss preferably.

You Give Love A Bad Name - Bon Jovi

Similar to above, I already have Slippery When Wet, but am not too knowledgeable about their other music.

Poles Apart / A Great Day For Freedom / High Hopes - Pink Floyd

Huge fan of this band, but only recently properly getting into Division Bell. Unless there's something from their back catalouge or something that is similar to any of these songs, I'd prefer something by a different band.

Aesthetics of Hate - Machine Head

Welcome to suggestions from either the same band or others, but this song is just pure awesome.



I might think of more soon, but that's it for now. I would be very grateful if anyone suggested something; thanks in advance.

EDIT: Just remembered another one - 86 - Green Day.

I don't know a lot of other Bon Jovi stuff, but if you are looking for more of an Arena/Glam/Hair Metal & Rock band, then there are a lot of bands or songs that you would like:

Round & Round - Ratt
Metal Health - Quiet Riot
We're Not Gonna Take It - Twisted Sister
I Wanna Rock - Twisted Sister
Turn Up The Radio - Autograph
Rock The Night - Europe
Madalaine - Winger

I could go on, but those are some of the best. Also if you want the big choruses and great guitar solos of Hair Metal but with a more Heavy Metal attitude I would check out Skid Row. Any songs from their first two albums are really good.

*notices songs from GH:80s* :P

I'll check out the last three, though; Skid Row sounds like the sort of thing I'd like as well, thanks. :)

Hehe, well I actually discovered all of those songs/bands before that game, but then I saw the setlist and now I'm disappointed that I didn't have a chance to play it. It had an amazing setlist.

Back on topic though, I know you'll like Skid Row. Check out 18 & life, Youth Gone Wild, The Threat, and In A Darkened Room.

They have some really good ballad stuff, but then they have some good heavy songs.
