Some good heavy metal/hard rock bands?

I got your back, LoL! Like me, you don't dig the growling "Cookie Monster" crap! You like some melody in your hard rock / metal , but you want some bad*** stuff! Check out "Brazen Abbott" - it's actually a few guys from that band "Europe", but with more aggressive guitar and 3 vocalists! Then theres my fav band "TNT" ..and NO it has NOTHING to do with AC/DC. This band is just awesome. They have a huge catalog, and they bring the ROCK!
