Good Hard Rock bands for workouts

**Dusty1** · 03-15-2012, 05:17 AM

I like listening to Nine Inch Nails, Die Krupps, and of course NPR.

Old school still works for me.
Certain selections from:

Prince
J.Geils (Live is best)
Poison
Night Ranger
REM
Molly Hatchett
Lynerd Skynerd

Of course there is lots more................

Man, I can't believe I whiffed on Motorhead too. Crucial.

OK, for hard rocking dance/workout music, my mind went to an English band from the 90s. I give you Prodigy...

Yea man, got to love Nightwish. I like the old better than the newer stuff, but I definitely still listen to the newer stuff too. And you cant overlook Epica. I feel like they're more hit and miss, but I prefer them when they hit.

I forgot to add Volbeat to my first post, I've been listening to them a good bit lately. They've got a nice rockabilly element to them. As you can tell, I like a lot of scandinavian metal and rock.

Checked out a couple of Nightwish tracks...not too shabby

Hellacopters another of my faves that a lot of folks here in the States miss.

I'm going to assume you're talking Hank III metal? I love his country stuff too

Hank III
Some Chavelle stuff

**Super Speed** · 03-15-2012, 11:05 AM

These may not qualify as heavy duty hard rock... but...

I would personally have some Tool on my work out play list.

And for some retro, some Mötley Crüe, and Van Halen songs fit the bill as pump up music.

Just my 2¢...

**urr-lord** · 03-15-2012, 11:54 AM

megadeth -cryptic writings
rammstein

Haha, I didn't think anyone else still listened to that! Good choice.

My workout music is usually one of the following:

Avenged Sevenfold
Atreyu (old Atreyu)
Powerglove
Protest the Hero
Thrice
Dragonforce

Might be a little harsh on some of your guys' ears, but it's fast-paced and really gets me pumped.

**gorgehiker** · 03-15-2012, 11:55 AM

First thing in my head was:
Prodigy

Followed by this little list
Volbeat
Tool
Lamb of god
My darkest days
Rammstein!
The crystal method
deadmous5
NIN
The Union Underground
Probot (dave grohl, lemmy)
Godsmack(old stuff)
Deftones
Manson
That is all for now....

**tvldatsi** · 03-15-2012, 06:13 PM

Sonata Arctica and Mastodon. Also most everything Mike Patton has done

**Timmy Dee** · 03-15-2012, 06:55 PM

So many great bands being listed here (and Creed).

Continuing on the hardcore line, though, is Biohazard. That is one band that will always be in my workout mix.

Breakdown, Last Man Standing, Switchback, Chamber Spins Three and Down For Life are the five that get my pulse up, but hell, they're aggressive and high-tempo, so any track will do.

Mike Patton is an underrated rock genius.

Anyway, has Soulfly been mentioned yet?

**orchestrion** · 03-15-2012, 07:28 PM

Might not be your thing, but Bane and Comeback Kid are two in-your-face bands. "Some Came Running" by Bane is especially energetic. Good to see some Protest the Hero fans here!
