Post Reply New Topic

i dont listen to many metal bands, but when i do they are gems

megadeth
metallica
slayer
anthrax
mastodon
pantera

i listen to a wide range of musical styles, but i connect mostly with hardcore/punk sorts

the first ones that comes to my mind

rammstein
metallica
slayer
iron maiden
system of a down
korpiklaani
dimmu borgir

and i could go on

Trivium (The Crusade)
Dragonforce
System of a Down
Megadeth
Killswitch Engage (Yes, I prefer some screamo metal but I actually understand the words when he screaming)
Godsmack

i call Judas priest and maiden british steel and motley crue and styx and guns also def leppard are the best.

Who believes the hype that Bullet for My Valentine is going to be the next Iron Maiden?

Never heard them how good are they?

BFMV are pretty good. They only have one full length album so far. Metallica, more specifically Lars Ulrich considers BFMV one of his influences. The two new metallica songs on youtube that are supposed to be on the new metallica album, whenever that gets released, has a new drumming style. Lars drumming style for those two songs are similar to BMFV's drumming style.


Here are a couple BFMV songs.

I don't particularly like BFMV. They're okay, but nowhere near as good as maiden. I mean, they don't even compare. Another annoying thing is that all the little emo scene kiddies absolutely adore them, which kinda puts me off a bit.

does anyone like GNR cuz most of the members (other than AXL and Izzy) Formed velvet revolver really cool! How bout any zeppelin fans in the house cuz i saw Jason Bonam (zeppelins' drummers son) at a foreigner concert live when i saw def leppard and styx they did covers.

Well, I'm not gunna list my whole collection or anything like the majority appear to be doing, just a couple of my faves

Agalloch
Blind Guardian
Slayer
Darkthrone
Iced Earth
Dream Theater
Metallica
Nightwish
Nile
Behemoth
Symphony X
Burzum

Killswitch Engage
Shadows Fall
All That Remains
Element Eighty
Metallica
Hatebreed
Abigail Williams

That is about it.

I just recently got into Shadows Fall and bought a CD Lot for them, very cool band with very consistent quality (although The war Within is really forced with the heaviness; I love the AR of Balance though.)

Element Eighty is really forgotten yet I enjoy everything they've put out, which is rare for me. Even RUbbertooth gets some attention. What era do you like most? I love Mercuric often.

Iron Maiden
Blind Guardian
DragonForce
Nightwish
Disturbed
System of a Down

I like my metal to be melodic.

Disturd isn't heavy enough vocally to be metal though. They are definitely hard rock but Indestructible and The Sickness were definitely heavier overall.

Oh STFU! The vocals do not need to be heavy for something to be metal. Why don't you go beat on Nightwish, they have freaking Operatic Vocals! Disturbed is probably the most vocally heavy band that I listed. Why does everyone pick on Disturbed?

I love DIsturbed, I just never really considered them metal. The guitarist is heavily influenced by Iron Maiden though, so they get credit for that.
