Any good rock band recommendations?

Hey there. I've always been really into rock music that features heavy guitar solos, you know? Stuff like Guns N' Roses, Uriah Heep, or Hall & Oates... even Satriani. If anyone knows any other good bands like that, let me know. Just a heads up, I'm looking for pure ROCK, so please don't hit me up with metal recommendations.

Well, my friend, if you're really into rock music packed with massive, soaring guitar solos, then there's really only one or two bands left to consider; ;)

Pearl Jam (I highly recommend you start by checking out their track "Alive"—it’s a perfect match for your handle! ;))—you'll be hooked instantly!

Alice in Chains - "Nutshell"

The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Rainbow, Scorpions, Dire Straits, Jimi Hendrix, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen (not exactly rock, but damn)—Bad Company...

I guess Pearl Jam isn't exactly the kind of pure rock you're hunting for, since they're more about that classic Seattle grunge sound.
If you happen to be looking for a solid rock band, maybe give Gotthard a listen.

You’ve got Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath... I mean, there are a million bands out there.

Queensrÿche

I’d throw in some Thin Lizzy and AC/DC too...

Look, I know this isn't strictly rock, but you seriously need to check out Muse🙏 they’re absolute legends
You should also give those beatmakers from Germany a listen🙂 they've got a show coming up this Wednesday at the local club, and I am definitely hitting that up
Anyway, just my two cents: ROCK IS DEAD!!! There's no real rock left out there, just a bunch of fakes and cheap copies

I guess you're right about rock being dead, and if you ask me, the main reason is metal. I don't have anything against metal personally, but when I hear people listening to nothing but pure screaming and screeching... man, forget it.
