Got damn... Mike could do N E fukking genre of music he wanted.

Judging from what looks like Slash on stage with Mike, I want to say Guns n Roses, but not really... not until the solo at the end. But for real it's a couple genres flowing here; grunge, hair band, metal, alternative, even a little country.

Check out a band called "Live"... kinda gives me this vibe.

OP wants to listen to post-punk and goth rock.

Try Siouxsie and the Banshees. Tinderbox is a good album. Tell me if this matches the vibe you're going for.


Really love their final two albums. They actually caught my ear after John McGeoch left.
Tinderbox is the album I think they wanted to make for a long time, everything after that had that sound I associate with Siouxsie and the Banshees.
...think Siouxsie and the Banshees laid claim to the post-punk crown and took it to completion.
Another good one:

Yupp, that's it !!! Closest to what I was talking about. I'll look into their albums :ehh:

Funny I just realized I'm actually a huge fan of Coldplay, and they sound similar to this




Now I want to ask, would you call this type of music a new age Psychedelic Rock, or is it something different?
And, are there any artists/albums similar to Siouxsie & the Banshees and Coldplay?

Coldplay? I call that alternative rock, but issa sliding scale 'cause what was alternative rock thirty years ago is probably called rock now 'cause of cultural shifts where the underground gets accepted by the mainstream retrospectively. I hear bands who probably didn't have play back in the day on modern rock stations here and there...
