umm....hate to be a bubble burster by the bands first mention are not hard rock. I used to listen to hard rock, im talking like arch enemy, death,cannibal corpse....you know metal, like under ground bands in germany i'm not even gonna try to name. thats hard rock. but i used to listen to Breaking Benjermin, Bullet for My Valentine, 3 Days Grace, My Chemicial Romance...those are more considered modern rock....
