Metal and Blues?

[mrdevious]

I'm just sitting here rather high, listening to some music, and I got thinking something.... I've been wanting to find some good mellow music, but it seems the only bands that give that to me are metal bands. Like not dramaticly soft crap, but just softer cords. Then I realized a lot of those chords that I like in soft songs from metal bands are similar to blues. So I'm thinking, are there any bands that do a blues type of music but more like a metal band would do it? Not like that tap your feet to a beat type blues that's more fun than blues, but like more lounge/electric guitar type blues (B.B. king did some of this, I think Eric Clapton did too but I haven't heard a lot of his stuff. Though I think he's awsome from what I've heard). I hope that all makes sense, but if you know what I mean and know a good band that would be awsome.

i really don't know hwat you're talking about, but when i think softer chords i think of some of stone sour's songs, or some of the songs off of slipknot's vol. 3 album, best i can think of? lol...

Maybe check out Down, and Corrosion of Conformity. They have a Southern heavy rock sound to them. You might like them.

definitely check out some more clapton. i saw him in concert recently with robert cray and derek trucks and it was the best concert of my life. also check out hendrix's Blues album. if you like this you should also check out stevie ray vaughan.

Led Zeppelin. and definently stevie ray vaughan.

Bob Dylan looks like a scrotum.
