Ed Who? Edguy. That's who!

Looking for something new and rockin’ – Edguy is the ticket. I say new, as in new to probably a lot of North Americans. These guys are huge in their homeland of Germany and other parts, and should be all over the world. Although most definitely fitting the classification of a metal band, they fit the hard rock category too, if you care to make that distinction. Their songs pound through clever, often humorous and tongue in cheek lyrics that lead up to a catchy sing along huge chorus. They are the type of band metalheads can listen to, yet so could fans of such acts as Van Halen, Motley Crue and the even softer Bon Jovi and Def Leppard. If you want to make comparisons to other artists you may hear elements of Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Queen – all in one song. They are the best find for me in the last ten years bar none.

I have no one album to recommend to start with, but check out songs such as Judas at the Opera, Superheroes, Lavatory Love Machine, Spooks in the Attic, and the Piper Never Dies, just to get going. If you’re a fan of hard guitar driven rock and roll that is melodic in nature, you won’t be disappointed with Edguy. Check them out!
