CALLING ALL METALHEADS!

Thrash, Doom, Speed, Stoner, Black, I don't care! (Thrash is my favourite, though) I've been listening to AC/DC since I was four and I wanna see how many other girls here rock out every f***ing day!

 Oh, and let's try and keep band dissing to a minimum. Nobody has PERFECT taste in music because musical quality is subjective. There can be friendly debates or "Really? Band A? I think Band B is better."

Favourite hard rock/ metal bands? Recommendations for new bands? Whatever you'd like.

Japanese - Dir en grey, D'espairs Ray, Mucc

Other - Otep, Kidney Theieves, Deftones, Opeth, Nightwish, coal chamber, dimmu bogir, korn, rammstein

As for fave metal band, Pantera will always have my heart.

And not for nothin: but how great is it that Megadeth got better as Metallica got worse?

I guess I should name some bands I enjoy

Guns and roses

Dream Theater

Rage against the machine

System of a down

Velvet Revolver

Incubus Science album was pretty heavy

A few more but I can't think of them. I can't the metal that's out today. It's all about screaming and growling not into that.  I like the older stuff.

Emmure is the second closest to perfect like All Shall Perish

Suicide Silence

Sky Eays Airplane

BMTH is ok and soo is TDWP

If anyone here is a Lamb of God fan, what do you think about the Wrath album in comparison to the others?

More metalheads than I thought :D

Re: Shortypants, If you hear "Death Magnetic", then maybe you'll have a change of heart. Sorry, it's just that James Hetfield is one of the only guys I'm still really attracted to. (My sig is comprised of two of his quotes :] )

Lemme see if I can give a good list of favourites. Oh, and don't kill me if I name hard rock or regular rock instead of metal, I'm evolving outside of labels. I'll try not to name the obviously not METAL bands.

Metallica
System of a Down
Stone Temple Pilots
Rage Against the Machine 
Nine Inch Nails
Alice in Chains
BLACK SABBATH
Megadeth
Mindless Self-Indulgence
OTEP
Ozzy Osbourne
Queens of the Stone Age
Scars on Broadway
The Sword
Tool
Voivod

I think that covers it :]

OHH yeah

Pantera love that band! Old metallica was awesome. I was in a crappy metal band we we're known for being horrible when I was younger. Man, I blew out ear drums, and tried to do shredding solos at the same time. Good Times :) I'm still a metalhead at heart. I just hate the new metal bands that are out. I'm old school.

Indeed.

It seems to me like a lot of new metal bands are just stereotypical robotic drumming and screeching horribly. Classic metal is amazing.

New metal?

Anybody have any good new metal bands? (Not nu-metal, lol)

 Fair to Midland is a band I love that can be considered metal, if not just hard rock. I'm also getting into those classic horror punks The Misfits. Or abstract metal like Kayo Dot

I certainly prefer doom & stoner, but I like metal in general.

Some bands I like: My Dying Bride (the Peaceville Three were the revelation that really got me hooked to metal), Saint Vitus, Electric Wizard, Reverend Bizarre, Cathedral, Candlemass, Baroness, Black Sabbath (Ozzy period mainly), Led Zeppelin, Down, Corrosion of Conformity, Motörhead, Girlschool, Arch Enemy, Vreid, Notre Dame, Machine Head, Opeth, Tool (Puscifer and A Perfect Circle too), Devin Townsend, Epica, Gojira, Pain Of Salvation, Shining, Moonspell, Type O Negative, Tiamat, Deftones...

Went to Hellfest (France) and Wacken this year! Both festivals were great!

 

Korpiklaani's fun, I've had so many missed opportunities to see them live I should be ashamed.

I don't know if it's the same outside France, but here all the metalheads talk about it:

Slipknot - Wait & Bleeed (Disney version) This one's funny!

Beyonce - Halo (Gothic Metal version) The guy did a great job on this one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRkoiaUxZF0

Find also some Lamb Of God songs and a Jonas Brothers song. I didn't know this last band and when I read "Paranoid (Death Metal Version)" I was all giggling, thinking it was a Black Sabbath cover. :/
