-Taake
-Finntroll
-Moonspell
-Iron Maiden
-Katatonia
-The Sword

yawn. snore. Viking metal is the lamest thing that was ever created

Why do "real metal" fans find the need to disparage styles that may actually cause the genre to continue past this generation? Why must it be shoved in a box to wither and die? People like you are killing the music you claim to love. We need to respect all heavy music or else it will die.

when I think industrial metal I think more along the lines of Powerman 5000, ministry, and still life decay.


Yeah that's more industrial metal. Downward Spiral era NIN, and especially Fear Factory.

There is also pirate metal. My main music is metal church, megadeth. Ozzy. Metallica is kind boring to me. Disturbed I used to listen to. But they got really lame and died out. New band that disturbed made was device. My music selection is very basic now. I used to be into tool and speed metal like dragon force but that all died out on me.

Maybe you just need a less conventional delivery method for your metal. I personally love different genres/elements infused into my metal myself.

Wow, how do you figure things like Viking metal are killing metal?....Obviously even you don't go by respecting all heavy music which Viking Metal is very much a part of even if you personally find it boring or lame. People who prefer metal to metalcore are killing the music we claim to love by liking metal more? I don't get it.

In 1986 I was 13 years old and we got MTV. What started as an obsession with 80s rock (seeing Poison, Ratt, Aerosmith, Whitesnake, Skid Row, all those bands live back then) eventually morphed into an obsession with heavy metal music around the time that I was first introduced to Metallica's "Sanitarium" when I was 16 in 1989.

Metallica and Queensryche are two that I've seen live (I saw the tours for both Operation:Mindcrime and Empire, one of which was actually a QR/Metallica tour for And Justice For All if I recall correctly).. between the early 90s and early 00s I got married and had children and tried very hard to play the NT game and let music go (I will never EVER make that mistake again!!).

Then in the early 00s I found Dream Theater, who is still a band I go see live to this day every chance I get (I've met the band and have a pic of my daughter with John Petrucci actually, and pics of myself with most of the band members but they're always terrible pics)... have also taken my 12 year old daughter to see them live, as well as Opeth, Katatonia, Alice Cooper, and KISS, among others (I wanted her to get a good solid foundation for music all set when she was little so we began those concert outings when she was 8 years old)... I've moved on to newer music that she likes at this point which would be considered not metal at all (we went to Van's Warped Tour this summer to see "her" bands, put it that way), and of course my longest standing special interest now is Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree which is also not metal, but heavy metal led me to progressive metal led me to prog rock lead me to prog led me to PT, and I really like it here in progland.

Still, I just went to see Queensryche live a few months ago (took my daughter of course) and we were front row up against the barricade standing in front of the stage and it was FANTASTIC.

So, though my musical interests have continued to evolve as I've grown, I feel like it's safe to post here because I still stay true to my long-term favorites like Dream Theater, Metallica, and Queensryche... I feel like they're old friends.

There's only one. Geoff Tate left and his new band is called "Operation: Mindcrime". He lost the lawsuit.

Queensryche is still all of the original members except Parker and Todd, the new singer, who is FANTASTIC! (IMO, Whip - Michael Wilton - is the man behind the band anyway if I had to choose one member to hang it all on, not Geoff Tate, but that's obviously just my opinion.)

So, I saw the original lineup back in the 80's twice, and Queensryche with Todd La Torre as frontman a few months ago.

I've never seen Geoff Tate's new band, O:M.

Hopefully what happened to Queensryche is not what happens to Immortal.
