HI to all just thought i would start a metal thread to see who likes what and why.hopefully people will be able to post and chat about bands some guys have never heard of.ok i will start the thread best album for me has to be

IRON MAIDEN= POWERSLAVE
every track on that cd is awesome,i started to listen to these guys when i was 10 and they are still going pure class MAIDEN

6061

whatever happened to MMC? They were once the next big thing?

chat about bands some guys have never heard of

iron maiden?

Janes Addiction was the closest I ever got to metal…

Cathedral:

groovey doom

just Doom

M6 into some nice alu does it for moi.

It's all about Steel, it's real you know.

But seriously Slayer are an awesome metal band and Cult is just about the angriest song ever.

Threads have to be metal, I find I'm too ham-fisted for plastic threads.

Helloween keeper of the keys part 2

quality album. Maiden rock, Metal is awesome…. Trance and Hard house are way better though 😉

rocket dog i did not mean maiden,everybody heard of them you tool

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH

Victorian grindcore via the men that will not be blamed for nothing:

stephenson a song about the 3 great victorians called stephenson, historically correct and yet so mental:

the most metal band EVER though are without doubt the british band Bolt thrower

something a bit more niche

optimum wound profile

extreme noise terror and the KLF (Live at the brits causing chaos)

^ boltthrower. Not heard of them since I accidentally taped a session off John Peel. What a load of old shite. Same for GD & Napalm Jeff.

THE CULT LOVE CD

Boltthrower seem to have improved since I saw them at uni ~1990. What album should I get?

for those once loyal is rather good BT album.

love- was the cult's last good goth album before they became a bog standard rock band 😉

Opeth

a bit of dirty old industrial/metal

Pitchshifter- deconstruction
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_bN0vbw5zo&feature=related

Godflesh- streetcleaner
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naj0hmlDM6s&feature=related

and a bit of blackmetal: Darkthrone doing a cover of the banshees "love in a void" 😆
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ytsf9baNU-s

Mastodon – Cut You Up With a Linoleum Knife (youtube)

😆

high on fire are bloomin good even if they do sound a bit "motorhead"

Voivod- Tribal convictions

and for any oldskool thrash heads out there

Sacred reich- surf nicaragua

Not sure exactly what I listen to could be classed as metal, quite a broad range though:

Fear Factory – Demanufacture

Machine Head – Davidian

Slapshock – Carino Brutal

Dethklok – Hatredy

Mnemic – Deathbox

Meshuggah – Bleed

Otep – Battle Ready

Pain – Im Going In

Thats the kind of stuff floating around in my iTunes library. Also other stuff by the likes of Marilyn Manson, 36 Crazyfists and Killswitch Engage. I class it all as metal, but then Im not one for genre arguing anyway…if its harder than rock stuff, doesnt have some 15 year old screaming while wearing his sisters jeans* then its metal in my book 😆

*then again I dont mind a little screamo/emo now and then

TAZZYMTB you are the metal man

Ah, back in the day I used to listen to bands like:

Sepultura
Nuclear Assault
Metallica (before they started releasing crap)
Testament
Pantera
Rolllins Band
Danzig

Rainbow's Rising and Onstage are the two finest albums ever made

Sabbath's Heaven and Hell isn't far behind though.

OK, it's gonna be an unpopular choice, but I'm getting a lot of kicks from this at the moment:

I'm one of the minority of old Electric Wizard fans who loved Witchcult Today.
First four Sabbath albums are frigging awesome.
Japanese band Boris are great as are Spanish band Orthodox.
Do High on Fire count as metal? Like them. Sendelica and the Heads too.
Om can do wrong by me either.

Generals gathered in their masses,
just like witches at black masses.
Evil minds that plot destruction,
sorcerers of death's construction.
In the fields the bodies burning,
as the war machine keeps turning.
Death and hatred to mankind,
poisoning their brainwashed minds.
Oh lord, yeah!

Hurrah Torpedo!!!!

I have Bruce Dickinsons autograph from when he was in Samson, pre. Iron Maiden (it's on the bottom of a Samson group picture, all the other band members have signed it aswell). Will it be worth anything?.

I'm also partial to a bit of this thrash/death

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07B42TVgmyQ

and Kyuss (brilliant until they turned in queens of the stone age and became corporate poo)

TAZZYMTB you are the metal man

no, but I do have a lot of piercings if that counts? (I'm an old goth really, just liked a bit of rawk now and then)

Mental for like!

I also have close up photo pics (taken by my older sister) of Michael Schenker (black leathers, flying V) and Richie Blackmore (I think that's who it is).

not sure what this classifies as other than **** ace

Tool- Vicarious

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUXBCdt5IPg

tazzymtb that kyuss is awesome man love that

they did a couple of fantastic albums that you can get cheap from amazon and the like these days

In the spirit of the OP, is it just me that thinks Iron Maiden: Iron Maiden is one of the most underrated albums ever?

Seventh Son was their finest moment though.

<pops head round door>
Electro Hippies
<gets coat>

killers was great, iron maiden was a classic, for me stranger in strange land was my favorite.

I'm really liking October file at the moment They sound a lot like killing joke
