best heavy metal band

[tadpoleboyy]

is it even heavy metal anymore? Isnt the new thing nu-metal or whatever? I liked slipknot and mudvayne when the were newer and more raw, but arent they catagorized as nu-metal ? They softened up a bit, however

Nice,post on one of my oldest thread.

I agree and i like all old school metal but i love HATEBREED !! "Live For This" is the best song IMO

[ClubberLangsUncle]

Tool, is kinda like progressive metal, but no one can touch their lyrics. Maiden is amazing, even old Manson is good. Pantra is kinda repetative in there sound, and the lyrics could have been thought up by a 10 year old, but there decent. Slayer would have to be up there on the list. I have sceen Tool, Slayer, Iron Maiden, Pantera, Ozzy, System of a Down, WASP, Cannibal Corpse, White Zombie, Mettalica, and a bunch of others, nothin was as Good as Tool was live. Although the first time i saw Maiden it was close.

I like slayer riffs and their drummer, but kerry king as a soloist is just awful..

Jeff Hanneman definitely smokes him.

[WOLFCRAFT]

It WAS "nu-metal" now it's "metal-core".
Who gives a ****, the new Cannibal Corpse comes out Feb 3rd. That's all that matters.

Anyone ever listen to sugar rays first two albums? They were kind of heavy. dont think it counts as metal though, maybe a few songs. Ever other album went soft

[RATTLEHEAD]

all i know about sugar ray is that they're l.a. guns fans... that's almost cool i guess. i can't even imagine them being heavy though lol. oh, and btw... ALICE IN CHAINS!!!

[WOLFCRAFT]

Sugar GAY!!

Sorry. Had to be said.

[IronReload04]

the best 3 metal bands ever? for me

1. Iron maiden
2. black sabbath ties with megadeth

thats the best that I can narrow it down to. metallica would be 4 probably




WASP is great, love listening to them too. to whoever said they saw them live

[WOLFCRAFT]

Top 3 from Sabbath would be the first 3.

The first 5 are all killers.

I'll pass on Never Say Die and any of the post-Ozzy stuff.

[joiningthedarkside]

kill switch engaged!!!!!!!!! what wrong with u people! panteras good too

[IronReload04]

kill switch engaged!!!!!!!!! what wrong with u people! panteras good too

killswitch engage sucks.


they have some good songs that are fun to listen too, but any band that screams and growls besides maybe pantera are just posers and lacking in talent. THey dont have guitar solos for christs sakes. I do like their choruses though, but the trendy growling and screaming is a result of the quality of singing and guitar playing going down. (dave mustaine)

[joiningthedarkside]

come on now! just because ur into the whole fruity, lollipop, john mayer, men in too toos crap doesnt meen u have to bash the hard core stuff!

[IronReload04]

dude, like the guy below me said, but in my own words....belching/growling/screaming is ****ing gay and takes no talent. its not understandable, it lacks melody, and overall just sounds like repetitive bullshit. lets talk about how bad life sucks and lets whine, thats ****en cool.


I dont think megadeth, sabbath, pantera, metallica etc etc are lollipop.

[tadpoleboyy]

i like heavy metal, and anything fast. But i cant stand metal bands whose lead singer sounds like hes belching the whole time. It doesnt even sound like vocals or words, just belching. I remember hearing song by cradle of filth sounding like that.

[Brown Ninja]

down, guns n roses, acdc, and of course metallica

[IronReload04]

lol if you could get guns to show up to a concert.......I love guns and roses......aweseome ownage band. if you like gnR, you might like skid row too

[Brown Ninja]

skid row is decent but sebastian Bach seems like such an Axl rip off

[IronReload04]

skid row is decent but sebastian Bach seems like such an Axl rip off

they make some good music that is awesome to listen to, but I would not in any way say they are at the same level of GNR.

[Brown Ninja]

any one check out the new GnR cd?

[Darksyde]

megadeth, before dave started getting all emotional and stuff.

[Brown Ninja]

mastadon

[WOLFCRAFT]

mastadon

Yep.
Best new metal band of the last ten years.

[Flagg]

Mastadon ive had the pleasure of seeing live, and yes...one of the best metal bands to emerge in recent years.

Think im gonna listen to their Leviathon album now as a matter of fact.

[WOLFCRAFT]

Killswitch Engage sucks.
So does Atreyu, Bullet for my Valentine, As I Lay Dying, and all this other new polished, formulaic, "metal-core" bullshit.

Hot Topic metal.

Fleetwood Mac

[WOLFCRAFT]

Fleetwood Mastodon

[RATTLEHEAD]

yes, the new GnR album is absolutely ridiculous. the technicality, fusion of styles, musical complexity, and of course vocals are all absolutely unreal. Buckethead and Bumblefoot. PERIOD. The guitar work is mind blowing.

[RATTLEHEAD]

btw, i'm impressed with you guys. i don't see people who listen to real metal/rock very often. everyone is a bunch of vagina's these days, with absolutely no appreciation for talent. hence, RAP. lol.

[Brown Ninja]

Backstreet Boy and NSYNC

[warchild]

rap sux.
