One word: Dragonforce.

I went to Mayhem Festival over the summer, and I saw them. Their first song was kind of interesting, their second song was... just like the first song.

By the time they got to the third song, I was done with them. they're undeniably talented, but they do one thing well, and do it to death.

OTOH, I saw a young Australian band called Airbourne that knocked my socks off. They rip AC/DC off big time, but they were really good at it.

Oh, and Mastodon, while they don't solo a whole lot, are tone gods. I remain floored.
