Who here is heavy metal? I'm heavy metal. Are you heavy metal? Heavy heavy heavy.

Anyways.

What bands do you listen to? My favourites at the moment are Testament, some of Metallica's old shtuffs, Manowar and Disturbed (not really HEAVY heavy metal, but meh, Hell is a pretty good song). Minor Judas Priest in the background.

Fan of metllica, korn, soil and disturbed.
Not that heavy, yea, but very nice.

pre-black album, black album, or post-black album? (Apparently that was some sort of turning point.) Personally, I hated the black album (and apparently I'm weird for that). Eh, not a big fan of disturbed or nu-metal. I prefer more classic bands from late 70s/early 80s and such. Judas Priest always has something that I like.

Unfortunately I don't have a lot of exposure to metal bands, so what I know of is quite limited.

Dream Evil, Dragonland, Disturbed (infrequent), HammerFall, Summoning.

If anybody has [___] to some ASP albums... PM me.

Rage mostly. Victor Smolski is God.

Pre and during Black, mostly because of Enter Sandman (that was first on the Black Album, right?). Not a huge fan of their new stuff.

You should check out Testament.



ASP? I have two Testament albums...

I like Slipknot, Mudvayne, Disturbed, Metallica, and Drowning Pool (is that metal?). Yes, I like shitty music. ;o

That's mostly nu-metal and Metallica. ;o

And probably new metallica ;o

Besides the occasianl judas priest links from farty, stratovarious, malmsteen, blah blah there's Dream theater that I really like, not exactly HEAVY metal, though, but it's still awesome and there's also some spanish bands like rata blanca and avalanch

Oh god no. D: Keep it away!

Fucking magnets.

This is so bland it's amazing. Amazingly bad.

So instead listen to TestAmenT yo.

When it comes to Metal, I am mainly a Thrash man. (or Glam) My favorite Metal bands would be: Megadeth, Annihilator, and Iron Maiden.
Testament and Judas Priest are both awesome bands that have put out some great tunes, but I have yet to buy from them.

You wouldn't pay for...


That's pure thrash in my opinion. Striker was alright, although I think the vocals could have been better. Music was tight.

Only good (and only real metal) songs other than Hell by Disturbed I've heard so far...




^This one's pretty damned epic.

I know More Than Meets The Eye and Shout 2000, but Droppin Plates was a new one by me. It was good, but ended so flat.

Since it has been awhile since I have last listened to them, I forgot to mention Black Tide.

Their first album was so flawless, I really have high hopes for their sophomore album.
However, when it comes to second albums from great first albums, you can never really be safe.

Black Tide wasn't my cup of tea. Don't know, they seemed a little... light? I can't really describe it.



This is a great song off of Testament's The Formation of Damnation album (their newest one). Not as heavy as the rest, but it carries real meaning.

lol @ black tide. The only other song I know is Warriors of Time.

Droppin' Plates is annoying, I think ..

... Modern 'metal' (like nu-metal .. like disturbed) isn't nearly as amazing as oldschool metal. D:
