heavy metal rules



i cum blood

Soft ballad metal is where it's at. Tawny Kitaen inspired Whitesnake.

No idea if I participated before, but...

1) Sabbath through Vol. IV (Master of Reality is my fave though)
2) Most Motorhead up to Orgasmatron, but of course first and foremost Ace of Fucking Spades!
3) Priest up to and massively culminating in Unleashed in the East
4) Maiden's first two
5) Metallica through Garage Days Re-revisited
6) All Melvins that crosses the line, and tons of shit does, but you figure it out!
7) Roots by Sepultura
8) Dictators - Go Girl Crazy (yeah I know it's also proto-pop punk, but it's fucking metal up your ass too, better than Manowar ever was)
9) UFO - Flying (like Hawkwind with less brain cells, if that's possible!)
10) Air Supply's Greatest Hits

I'm sure something has happened in the last 25 years, but honestly, I can't really tell Slipknot from Gorgoroth when push comes to shove...

Fuck. YES.

I can feel this shit in my dick!!!

That's very poetic. Whitesnake really is like shitting from a dick.

You. Me. Poetry book. What do you say? I think it'll sell in the German market.

Is that a German farmers' market?

Mastodon are the greatest metal band of today.

Isis rock too, but calling them "metal" doesn't quite feel right.

Pantera are the standard by which I measure all metal. If Dimebag hadn't been killed, Damageplan might replace Mastodon in the first sentence of this post.

Neurosis & Electric Wizard & Morbid Angel

Isis is easily the best band making music today. Wavering Radiant is an amazing album.

Mastodon is certainly interesting (and Blood Mountain was epic), but Crack the Skye was a little weak.

does Lightning Bolt qualify as metal?

no.

Most of what I listen to now is metal. I'm a black metaller, I've dabbled in other metal subgenres - thrash, doom, death - but black metal is what I'm most interested in.

Mastodon is the only thing I have heard in a while that is decent metal.

Is this answer pedictable? " I like Metallica." seriously I do....I even did my 8th grade project on them.

I love metal!

favorite metal bands:

NOFX
Whitesnake
Candlebox
The Jesus & Mary Chain

Mainly into (some of the usual) black metal stuff like Burzum, Darkthrone, Bathory, Drudkh, Windir, (early) Ulver, Wolves in the Throne Room, Empyrium, Alcest, Blut Aus Nord, Darkspace, Paysage d'Hiver, etc.

I am an old reformed metalhead.

I still dig it, but these are my fave fave

Metallica - Ride the Lightning (fight fire with fire is a fabulous opener)
Megadeth - Peace Sells, and Rust In Peace. Rust In Peace has some wicked wicked riffs. Holy Wars is fucking awesome.
I love all OZZY era Black Sabbath. children of the Grave at 2:23, so heavy, so heavy.
anyone else love Terrorizer? so fast! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2KgenV8drw
