bluesy metal bands?

[joseph]

can anyone steer me towards some good metal bands that sort of have a bluesy guitar style in them? i have been listening to a lot of down and maylene and the sons of disaster and am looking for similar stuff. already got pantera, hellyeah and rebel meets rebel.

[Steve Ignorant]

The Gun Club has all kinds of blues going on, badass rockabilly kinda group. That song is insanely cool, check it out.

EDIT : ####, I love that video. It ####### EXPLODES at 3:14, in that area.

Clutch

Electric Worry is an awesome song

[HerBDerb]

Danzig.
Well, only the first two or three albums...

[roflsore]

The number 12 looks like you. Listen to the song "Like a Cat"

[anastasi0]

Goatsnake


The Obsessed (or any one of Wino's bands)

Sleep

Kyuss
Pentagram
Acid King

[streetheap]

Cream
Early Fleetwood Mac (Peter Green)
Zeppelin
Black Sabbath
Motorhead
Totimoshi
Diamond Head
Metallica KIll 'em All
Angel Witch
Scorpions (Blackout era and earlier)
Paul Di'anno era Iron Maiden
Corrosion of Conformity from 1994 on
Nebula
The Sword

Not all of these are necessarily 4, 8, or 12 bar blues formula, but it's all blues based.

[David H]

larval's got a bluesy-post rock feel to it. pelican is a little more metal based, but you can hear the blues.

Alarum.......

[Jemwielder]

Black Label Society has some great bluesy guitar and heavy riffs.

[thebassman]

The obvious led zeppelin.

[msk]

Anything by Whitesnake from the mid 70s through early 80s (when the band was half ex-Deep Purple members)

[bccarlso]

Gunna second Clutch.

[Steve D.]

Opeth!

+1 to all the bands Anastasio said.
+2 for Opeth, hands down one of the most talented, well-constructed, intelligent, original bands out there, and definetely on my top 5 list of the greatest bands of all time.

I'm also gonna add Down, specifically their first album "NOLA". If Down isnt blues-metal, then i dont know what is.
