The official heavy metal thread

[Steel]

Grave Digger anyone?

Just picked up Fear Factory's new album today, and while its no Demanufacture(best FF album EVAR!) pretty good stuff. Got sick of listening to it though, now listening to Soul Of A New Machine.
Picked up Tool's Undertow on vinyl too, odd thing is, for a record, it's lacking in bass, completely. Like less than the CD. Very very weird, I'd have expected more from a 2 album set. Oh, well.
I'm not really up on alot of new bands, find most of it rather boring. If I am in the mood for some good metal I pop in the old faithfuls "...And Justice For All" or "Master of Puppets".
Yes, some girls do listen to metal.

[shadowboy]

ahhh... metal


don't get me started, i have been listening to metal since the late 80s

some of my favs:
metallica (puppets & justice)
slayer (seasons & reign in blood)
death (symbolic and human)
cynic (focus.... one of my top 3 favorite albums of ALL TIME... GO GET IT!!!)
morbid angel (dominate, covenant & alter of madness)
megadeth (rust in peace)
tool (undertow)
dream theater (images & words / metropolis pt 2)
the list goes on...


i really, really, really, really recommend anyone even REMOTELY into metal check out that cynic album i mentioned. it is INSANELY good (it may strike you as odd on first listen... it takes some getting used to).

Limp Bizkit sucks & POD are more of a funk rock-rap band.

What Misundaztood said.

And Cradle of Filth has to be some of the worst shit that's ever abused my eardrums.

[-Davo]

Limp Bizkit kick ass....If you like shitty music

[Misundaztood]

Limp Bizkit shouldn't even be mentioned in a metal thread. Just IMHO.

[RallyRaider]

Only Limp Bizkit song I've heard is their cover of the Who's Behind Blue Eyes. Takes talent to pull off a classic, ominous, tormented and angry song like that. They failed.

Bwahahahahahahahaha


agreed.

[IntegraBoy2003]

TOOL!!!! undertoe is great,best songs on that album is Prison sex, great riff and Danny Carey is such a great drummer..Older Metallica shit is hotttt, but St Anger is a disgrace to metal

[Funkdoc]

Ok,let's see...
no particular order here
In Flames of course(my god,I LOVE only for the weak,best song evar)
Soilwork
Children of Bodom
SLAYEEEEEER!
Barathrum
a bit dimmu
Metallica
Passenger
Norther
and so on.....way too much more to write them down here

[MBTN]

Finally! Someone else who likes Soilwork and COB, let alone heard of them!

[Spyke^]

Isn't P.O.D. a religious rock band? Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Has anyone heard the new ( well new to me) Godsmack tune Straight Out of Line? New drummer, Shannon Larkin, from what I heard. He abuses the sh*t out of his kit, in a good way.
I wonder why Tommy Stewart left as he was excellent too.
I have the Ozzfest err, dammit! I forget what year it is now, it's the last year that Godsmack played. To watch Tommy play was just amazing. He's so fluid and powerful.
Tunes like Alive ( or Awake depending on who you ask LMAO) to see him effortlessly pounding the ride. Awesome.
Tool, what can I say. Tool, IMO, is one of the best most talented bands that has come along in a long time. Whatever instrument you're into, drums, guitar,bass, and let's not forget "the voice" they really have a wicked way of putting it together.
I'm going to go through this thread and start downloading some of the tunes mentioned and see what else is out there.
Limp? Except for My Generation, I could take or leave it.

This thread is all about discussing metal.

A small, incomplete, in no particular order or genre list of my favorites;

Metallica(their first five albums at least)
Megadeth
Iron Maiden
Motorhead
Guns N' Roses
AC/DC
Led Zeppelin
Pantera
Ozzy Ozbourne
Hatebreed
Disturbed
Rob Zombie
Type 'O Negative
Godsmack


...many others but I listed what most of you are familiar ith. I like alot of underground stuff but in my area it's hard to come by. We do have this local band Kritikill who are awesome. Kinda a mix of thrash & death.

...and yes I'm aware some of what I posted is nu-metal but I like alot of that as well. So sue me.

I agree 100%, but, what about Slayer???

These days I'm into Progressive Metal - Dream Theater, Pain of Salvation, Arena, Andromeda, Devin Townsend and a whole bunch more.

I always loved Ygwie Malmsteen. But, where the hell is he when we need him??? Also, Suicidal Tendencies. It's hard to find any of their old stuff anymore.
