Hey all,

I'm looking for some bands preferably from the US to listen to to broaden my music library so can anyone please help me out?

Here are some bands that I like, maybe you can recommend "similar" ones or maybe introduce me to a new sound?

Avenged Sevenfold
Guns n Roses (before Slash left!)
Metallica (not St Anger though!)
Rancid
Trivium
Alexisonfire
Green Day (early releases)
+44
Bullet for my Valentine
In Flames
The Offspring
Blink 182

etc.

I'm not a fan of emo music though!

Thanks in advance :)
