Ok, i've looked all over for any info about Chinese rock bands, and the only one i've come up with is Silver Ash. I've looked over a lot of Chinese music websites, but the fact that most are in Chinese and i can't read Chinese doesn't help me much. So, can anyone suggest any good C-rock bands? Could be Canto, Mando, doesn't matter. Thanks in advance. (IMG:http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/icon_wink.gif)

i'm sure you've heard of 'wu yue tian' ('mayday' is more commonly used) right?? i like their music, sorta rock, but i would classify it more under pop/rock - they sing in mandarin. there's also a cantonese band called 'beyond'. i only heard one of their songs, but forgot what it sounded like coz i deleted it ages ago (i think they are also pop/rock). hope this helps... and if it doesn't... then...uhhh... good luck.

LMF is just dissing stuff, i have never ever EVER heard any canto rock in my life, but iv heard rap, and iv came to a conclusion that chinese ppl where made for rapping :genius: so i dont think they'd have any luck with ROCK! please dont ruin the rock scene

LMF is not just about dissing stuff. just about 80% of their songs have a moral to them. name any song and i can probably point out a "lesson" that people can't seem to grasp

a few of the ex-LMF members are planning to regroup with the guitarist from Lam Kee, which should be quite interesting
