Metal junkies unite!

[Hankomachos]

Hello all! Hank here!

Do you like the metal genre of music? I do! In fact, I worship it. IMO, it's ecstasy to the ears; it's icing on the cake, it's coca cola. It's awesome.

Eh?!

To all the metal heads of this forum, who is your favourite metal band(s)?

All sub-genres of metal are permitted: Nu metal, thrash metal, etc.

I'll start: Metallica (of course!)

PS: I like metal.

Hey Hank. Not trashing the thread or anything, just discussing .

IMHO, metal is not even music, it's just distrubing and irritating noise.

Listening to metal is like a torture to me. I can't understand when there are people on a bus with headphones blasting, listening to these fast drums and all hahah.

Funny how everyone has different taste in music. Unreal.

Here is what i consider the ecsasy to the ears.

Meshuggah, Norma Jean, Between the Buried and Me (because of how they incorporate piano into their songs, and it's still so sick), Converge, Dillinger Escape Plan, Hank Williams III (yeah, he does metal too.), I'll think of some others. Oh yeah, if you like death metal check out Amon Amarth's first couple albums.

If I'm gonna listen to any soundtrack it's gonna be the one from doom. The game for pc, not that lame *** movie.

Does it it matter what movie it is? I'm talking about the music...

I was talkin about the doom movie bud, not your naruto show.

[Blind]

Edited, my bad, misunderstood haha

[Artentreri]

It's all good man, I've actually never even watched that show. But, back on topic, if you're lookin for more hardcore metal or whatever, Bring Me the Horizon, Job For a Cowboy, and Miss May I are pretty good. I Hate Sally is a pretty sick band with a girl singer too, and she shreds.

[adidaman]

Metal can be compared to rap, as in they're both genres that people believe to be music. Metal seems to be a bunch of guys slamming guitars and drums, and someone hoarsely screaming into the microphone, believing that they sound good. Then again, to each his own.

[Hankomachos]

Hey guys, I respect your opinions, but this thread was directed towards those who like metal, not what those think of it.

To all the metal heads of this forum, who is your favourite metal band(s)?

Thanks

There was a time in my high school days where I really got into metal, mainly for its sick guitar riffs.
I think i listened to a couple of Japanese heavy metal as well lol.
This is how my music time line went:
Punk rock-> funk rock (rhcp ftw!) r&b-> heavy metal-> oldies (queen, Beatles, etc)-> electro synthpop (owl city, swiming with dolphins, <- something bout their music makes me happy all the time) ->alt. Rock (coldplay,muse)
Man, that made me reminisce back to the old days, I can appreciate any type of music ,
course the main stream 'music' these days are alright as well I guess. .__.

[Ardon]

Metal was my first music love lol

I love me some Iron Maiden, Racer X, Coheed and Cambria, bullet for my valentine, and august burns red.

Though, right now I listen to more soloist instrumentals like Joe Satriani, Buckethead, Paul Gilbert, Steve vai, and Jeff Loomis.

Ever listen to Takaru or Funeral Diner? I know that Funeral Diner toured Japan some.

Iron maiden, tool, queens of stone age, guitar wolf, melvins, iggy and the stooges, slayer,Jesus lizard, and of corse the almighty Motörhead.
Anyone that likes metal should get a cheap guitar and amp and learn a couple power chords, and joyfully annoy their neighbors.

[RedRyder]

Metallica. That is all.
My first guitar was a KH-606, Kirk Hammetts signature guitar.

[saool]

Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, Apocalyptica (metal cellists), The Black Dahlia Murder, Cannibal Corpse, Satyricon, Divine Heresy, Michael Romeo, Michael Angelo, Primus (not metal but tell me Les Claypool isn't sick), Morbid Angel, Children of Bodom, Trivium, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Arch Enemy, Otep (female vocalist that easily out does some guys), Lamb of God, Behemoth, Moonspell, Old Man's Child, Deicide, and many more lol I play bass ftw so I love me some metal.

These are the bands I was heavily influenced by when I played my bass. I should get back into it lol, the hardest thing I know how to play now is "Fugue in D minor" (on bass it is all tap) I tap on bass mostly and play with picks when it comes to faster songs everything else is done with finger strumming.

Have you ever gone to a tool show? Absolutely amazing. I can't say exactly what kind of fun I had, but their light show and visuals blew my mind. That and Maynard comes out in skin tight jeans and a cowboy hat, it was awesome seeing as they let Isis open up for them. No clue why, they were terrible, but that just made seeing tool even better.

Wait. For those who say that Metal is not music:

You have to realize that metal encompasses several different bands and genres. From bands like Iron Maiden all the way to Scepultura and everything in between. You cannot just throw everything away because it's called Metal!
