Hello...
 

Hello, I was just wonderin if anybody knew any good acoustic instrumental bands? Rock or easy melodies?

Some really good acoustic bands would probably like Slayer, Cannibal Corpse, Decapitated, Fear Factory. there all pretty good acoustic.

Uhmm, no.

I don't know of any totally acoustic bands, but I like most of Steve Vai's acoustic work, in particular, Brandon's Costumes (Gentle Ways). Great acoustic instrumental song.

Also some Slipknot, Korn, Arch Enemy, Sepultera, Hatebreed, 6 feet under, lamb of God, Shadows Fall,... all really god acoustic

While not an instrumental band, it would be worth your while to check out Jim's Big Ego.

It's simply, fun stuff with some fairly witty lyrics and all of it works in an acoustic format, even if it's not all recorded that way.

We got some killswitch, some Meshuggah, Metallica, Ministry, Morbid Angel, Mudvayne, NMSO4, Pantera, Possessed, Voivoid, Pentagram, Rammstien, Stone Sour, Superjoint Ritual, Testament, Venom, And Zombie

no offense but they are not ACOUSTIC bands. They are metal bands or what have you. As I do listen to those bands and like them, there are seldom times that acoustics are tied in with their music. Hopefully you wert'y being a "weisenhimer."

Livlove,Even though they are not instrumental her are a couple good bands: eagles has some goot acoustics hits ie. hotel california, other bands are Firefall, Jim Croce, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartny and Wings, George Harrison, Mama's and the Papa's, Paul Simon, John Denver. That should get you started. If you're a beginner I could tab you up a couple good acoustic melodies that are fun to play that are instrumental. Just e-mail me or send me a pm. Gl.

hmm, yeah... no! I like alot of those bands that you named, but they definately are not acoustic... they are death metal, nu-metal, thrash metal, Hard rock, etc. you better watch it chris! I've seen some replys you've made on other posts, you keep it up and you'll get deleted.

I think that Anal **** would be my favorite acoustic rock group. I further edit this post to learn from Chris' mistake and say that The Gathering used to be a good gothic metal band but they went acoustic. Might like them. Their first CD is metal, but after that I don't know what happened. Of course I prefer their first CD, but if you're asking for acoustic stuff then give their later stuff a looksee. No promises though, I've only heard a few tracks of their later stuff.

How is it not obvious that i was totally kidding around - of course ther not acoustic, ther the heaviest of heavy metal bands out ther and besides i'm just havin fun - u gotta mess around every now and then - i chose today

don't see me as some prick with no sense of humor. I just hate it when people purposely answer a question with crap, what if this guy didn't know you were joking?

(btw, you forgot sevendust, drowning pool, and godsmack! :D)

Not to big of a fan sevendust but drowning pool and GODSMACK FUR SHIZZEL

and also calm down don't let it ruin yer life buddy

And i'm sure they knew i was kidding - ther are some popular non-acoustic bands in ther that everyone shud know about

I wasn't... I guess I came off as being angry, I'm not, I'm just saying that when I've had questions and people came in with a response like that it usually pisses me off.

btw, you also forgot disturbed

yep fergot that too oh well i was probably gunna get those in my next answer lol - i was listing off the most hardcore ones first though

ALSO APOSTASY ..isn't hardcore... but THER AWSOME if yu'v ever herd of em

For Wishes is my friends' brother-in-laws' band. Good stuff!

no, I've actually never heard of them

i know cuz it's my band :cool:

Just thought of this... you might want to check out Kaki King's stuff. She does some very inventive acoustic guitar work.


You may also want to check out The Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution. They're more on the complicated side of things in terms of composition and they have lyrics on most of their songs (OUTSTANDING lyrics at that), but it's great stuff to listen to.

NOTE: BotAR are hosting their entire EP on their website as they are no longer making the CDs... I highly recommend that anybody here download their stuff and give it a good listen.

Clapton does some very cool acoustic stuff.
my 2 cents
