My Preferred Bands of Hard Rock

By Pedro Manuel Paz

When I was 13 years old, I met with my block friends every afternoon. We played soccer and rode bicycle. One day, my friend Angelo said "Come on everybody, I’d like you to listen to this group." He put his cassette in the radio recorder and every body listened quietly and carefully to the song. I had never listened to it before. The drums hit my head and I followed the rhythm with my feet. He said, "It is Hard Rock." Now after many experiences, my preferred groups are Metallica and Aerosmith. I would like to talk about them, and I can say that I will never stop to listening to Hard Rock.

The first time that I listened to his song, "Nothing Else Matters," I can’t believe the incredible sounds of the guitar. Since that moment I knew that Metallica will be one of my preferred groups. This band was formed in 1981 in L.A. by the drummer Lars Ulrich, who posted advertisements in the newspaper and after, he received answers of the members. Metallica has been characterized by its instrumental style and aggressive music. They have 9 studio albums, 22 music videos, 43 singles and they won seven Grammy awards and have 5 consecutive albums debut at number one on the Billboard 200. I won’t forget their concert in Bogota. It was amazing. At the moment I am enjoying their new production issued in 2008.

I am convinced that Aerosmith has much better production of video music. I can see this because they have an excellent thematic, wonderful effects, innovative themes, creative style, and incredible music and lyrics. Aerosmith was created by Steven Tyler 38 years ago, in Sunapee, New Hampspire and still has the same five members. Actually, they have introduced more than 14 productions in the market that won many platinum and gold records. They have had 21 one song chart in the top 40 of the Billboard hot 100. Songs like "Cryin," "Crazy," and "I don’t want to miss a thing," among others. In addition to recording and performing music, Aerosmith has also been involved with film and video games. Aerosmith will be working in the rock scene for many years.

In conclusion, I had listened to many groups and styles of hard rock, such as Bon Jovi, Poison, G&R, and other groups, but I am sure that Metallica and Aerosmith will be in the history of rock like two of the most important bands in the world and they will be recognized like The Beatles or the Rolling Stones in the future.
