Most Skilled Modern Band EVAR??

[OhaiReapd]

I think it's Dream Theater. Discuss here.

[KillerWhale]

Dream Theater is shit.

All Shall Perish is better in every manner.

We Versus The Shark is better if you're going for pure technical skill.

[Edit: I forgot Chotto Ghetto too. ]

Back in topic ;
The Dillinger Escape Plan, not really my taste, but people say they are skilled. meh.
Protest the Hero, more accessible.
And search for bands labeled as math- if you want skilled bands.

Also, Aphex Twin (proof), Sonic Youth (inb4 modern band), God is an Astronaut...

PS: You are free to flame my musical tastes.

LOL @ pics, found a DEATH METAL band that has a very talented "screamoist" (? idk what you would call it) They're called Into Eternity, to understand how talented it is, watch the Music Videos. Not really my "taste" but its "good" i guess you could call it. And Dream Theater is still tops. The EARLY Dream Theater when they were very progressive, with all of their album long songs and intricate works (of art). o.-

Troo there.
If you want technical skill I recommend Here Comes The Kraken and Nile.
If you want music skill, metalcore would be the place to go. Technicality combined with musicality and metal.
All That Remains, Lamb of God, As I Lay Dying.
As far as musical talent goes, none other than Bach, that man will take you on a journey.

Worst band ever.

But it's a party in the USA.

Woohoo Miley Cyrus.

Technical skill? Tough to tell, really. Sevendust has got a full set of very talented and experienced members.

Modern can be interpreted in many ways....

Dream Theater? Now they I would say are Iron Maiden and Def Leppard rip offs...

Many modern bands are just ripping off sounds PERFECTED years ago... By the greats like, Metallica, Godsmack, Black Sabbath, Pantera, Slayer, Anthrax, etc..

So in answer to your quetion... The best modern band is Metallica, as they brought what these young punks have been destroying to life and mainstream in the 80's..

After reading your message, I think you are obviously a troll who just seek hating from the others.

Old bands are old bands. Saying that many modern bands are rip off of older bands is like saying that Tremulous is a bad rip off of Gloom.
Young Punks have destroyed life and mainstream music in the 80's ? Yeah, and that's why good (off course it depends of the pov) bands like Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, Kraftwerk and Joy Division have post-punk influences.

Metallica best band ever ->  . Everybody knows it's Miley Cyrus.

There your wonderful grammar.
And sorry for answering the thread... You wanna hate me for stating an opinion about music that is your maturity level... After all, what do people expect in a thread about music? Just lauds about Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Dweebs My Chemical whoever...

Please learn to read... I said and I quote"

Let me break this down for you Cyrus fans...
I said..
  1> The best Modern band is Metallica
  2> They brought what these young punks are destroying TO LIFE AND MAINSTREAM IN THE 80's
Which means = Metallica brought this type of music (grunge, thrash, heavy metal, whatever you wanna label it as) to life and mainstream success in the 1980's. And these new geek bands are destroying it.. Misquoting me to prove your point only makes you look stupid... No offense..

Yeah, and that's why good (off course it depends of the pov) bands like Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, Kraftwerk and Joy Division have post-punk influences.

Sorry but your little bands there have got nothing... Metallica put out another album just last year, And they still outsold them. Death Magnetic... You kids need to look this type of thing up, maybe listen to some of these 'older' bands you say are so terribly old and see how these 'modern' dweebs took their sounds from the real bands back in the good ol'days.
