So here is a list of bands I like, and these are bands are pretty much side with a lot, I tend to like 1-2 songs from some other bands...and thats about it, they rarely click. I am more of American Rock/Metal fan (very specific metal too, no clue what its called music isn't a huge FORTE of mine) and don't really like country/trance/rap/WHATEVER THE FUCK ELSE

so yeah:
kiss
ac/dc
alice cooper
kamelot
sabaton
van halen
Iron Maiden
Johnny Cash
Rolling Stones
Blue Oyster Cult

theres more but I can't really name them all, but I think you get the gist of it.

I find myself liking videogame/foreign (I love Basshunter/Vitas, and I don't even speak those languages at all) music more than anything I hear on the radio thats new, but maybe I'm not looking in the right places.

Why? I have a bunch of music groups who's average songs are like over 10 minutes long. Long songs can be EPIC!

It's not normal song length, but it's no big deal either.

I'll second the recommendation for X Japan. Also, Dark Tranquillity, Iced Earth and Devin Townsend.

Stratovarius

I'll not TAKE ANYTHING you write like this seriously because it looks dumb

You seem to like some "classic" 80-90's metal/rock (that's my favourite stuff too)
Maybe..
-Skid Row
-Helloween (the origin of power metal since you have Kamelot on your list..)
-Stratovarius (next step of power metal)
-Loudness (with Mike Vescera - also the best guitarist to ever exist, Akira Takasaki, here)
-X Japan (It's ~38 minutes in Live

)
-Hanoi Rocks

Actually only Skid Row is American, but others are mostly with english vocals so no worries.

Alright thanks for the suggestions so far and I'll check these guys out and maybe tell you if I like them or not

i need something more than what I got, cause while 70s/80s/very early 90s are A++, I also feel like its starting to get boring just listening to it all the time

yo I'm going to do you a favor and tell you half the shit recommended here is not at all what you are looking for.

try out www.pandora.com or listen to last.fm radio. GW seems to be obsessed with turning you towards their tastes as opposed to adding to your preexisting genre. I kind of wish Kaworu was here because he was the expert on this but if you ever want to feel like you gotta crush a baby, listen to some Slayer.

Why not try something a bit different?

Bauhaus are pretty cool and heavy-ish, or perhaps Nick Cave.
If you want I can megaupload a Nick Cave compilation.

Listen to Dethklok, all that "virtual band" might be silly but musically it's OK, rather generic but OK

What genre does both Johnny Cash and KISS belong too? Just take a listen.
You can try http://hypem.com and search for artists so you can hear like one song of each.
