Metal and other types of music

[Kane Gunlock]

I'm new here and I was wondering if any one else is in to Heavy metal or music like that here are some of my fav's

3 Inches of Blood

Tool

Pink Floyd

megadeth

gorillaz

[Paladin]

I'm into Dragonforce and a few other like that. Mostly though I like all kinds of music except for rap. I consider it Crap without the C.

[Kane Gunlock]

I agree for the most part but early rap ain't bad run DMC public enemy and tupac weren't bad hell anthrax did a cover of bring the noise with Public Enemy it was alright but for the most part yea pretty much

do you listen to Dethklok at all ?

[Chevalier des Poissons]

You like metal? Then have some metal:

ANGRA - Carry On

[HairyHeretic]

I prefer older stuff myself. Late 70s into the 80s, and sporadic bits and pieces from there onwards. My current playlist includes Guns N Roses, Steppenwolf, Led Zepplin, WASP, Ramones, Pantera, Manowar, Black Sabbath, Lordi, ZZ Top and AC/DC. My tastes are somewhat varied.

[Kane Gunlock]

not really in to the whole 80's hair metal thing

[Serephino]

I like a bit of everything; not a huge fan of heavy metal though.  I like gothic metal bands like Evanescence and Within Temptation. 

[Kane Gunlock]

try melodic deth metal thats some awesome stuff great instrumentals

[Kane Gunlock]

Death - Cosmic Sea really good instrumental

[Lilias]

I like a lot of the metal spectrum, and about as much that may or may not be considered metal, depending on who you ask. My teens were defined by the hair metal explosion of the 80s; although I still have a soft spot for acts like Whitesnake, Def Leppard, Winger etc, I have gravitated to more epic/symphonic (Blind Guardian, Apocalyptica, Sonata Arctica) and gothic (The Mission, Paradise Lost, Anathema) flavours. Over the last few years, I've found my niche in FFM - female fronted metal; bands like Nightwish, Epica, Lacuna Coil, Within Temptation, After Forever, Delain...

[Kane Gunlock]

will if your in to that stuff your A GNR Fan right ?

[Nico]

It really, really depends on my mood. I'm generally more a Techno and Trance guy, but now and then, some Metal isn't bad.

Tool is great, no doubt, and I really like the 80th stuff too. Led Zepplin, AC/CD.

I can't stomach Death Metal, though.

[Darkcide]

I'm into Dragonforce and a few other like that. Mostly though I like all kinds of music except for rap. I consider it Crap without the C.

I take it you don't listen to a lot of rap. I don't mean to pick, but people who try to degrade rap/hip hop as a genre off of the stuff they might hear on the radio without giving the serious artists a try tend to get under my skin. I ask you to listen to any number of these songs and tell me if rap is still crap. There are a lot of brilliant artists who feel passionately about their art. What turns you off about it? Can't relate? The presentation? The language?

However to stay on topic, I'm a huge metal head and working on starting my own band. My favorite band currently is Mastodon.

[Darkcide]

Oh and speaking of metal. I recently got tickets to see Megadeth/Slayer next month. This is so big for me, I think for most of my life the two groups have hated one another especially Kerry King and Dave Mustaine. So to see them touring is an awesome sign, maybe Dave is mellowing out. Since he squashed the beef with Metallica. I think Testament is supposed to be opening.

[Kane Gunlock]

some awesome shit here

[Paradox]

Although some of the bands that Hairy mentioned did indeed have rather extravagant hair, they don't really epitomize the hair bands of the 80's. You're thinking more along the lines of KISS.

Like Hairy, I prefer older metal. Give me Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Megadeth, or Metallica any day.

[Kane Gunlock]

indeed

[Mr Self Destruct]

My Top Ten:

Nine Inch Nails, Tool/A Perfect Circle/Puscifer (grouped together because its all Maynard the Man), Pantera, Fear Factory, Dethklok, Deftones, Five Finger Death Punch, Amon Amarth, Cradle of Filth, and System of a Down.

They're most common on my playlists on my mp3 player, computer, CD player, etc.

I'm also into Foo Fighters, Alice in Chains, more melodic grunge from my high school days.  Smashing Pumpkins is a big one, as is Primus and Nirvana.  There are just too many to list, really. lol

[Samael]

Sure am:

Northern Kings (Mostly do covers of other songs)
Northern Kings - Kiss From A Rose

Within Temptation:
Within Temptation- Angels español

Evanescence:
Gargoyles - Bring me to Life

Nightwish
Lineage II, nightwish End of all hope

Dream Evil
Dream Evil - The Chosen One

[Wyrd]

Mt top 10 would be

-Blind Guardian
-Elvenking
-Wintersun
-Ensiferum
-Dissection
-Falconer
-Dimmu Borgir
