Any metalheads in here? (Slipknotfags, you don't count. Sorry!)

[Demon Soul]

I am just wondering if anyone here likes to listen to real metal? If so, what bands? I listen to all these bands and even more:

Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Death, Exodus, Symphony X, Opeth, Diablo Swing Orchestra, Incubus/Opprobrium, Butcherpriest, King Diamond/Merciful Fate, Evile, HellHammer/Celtic Frost, Venom, Warbringer, Early Man, The Saviours, Graveland, As Long As People Die, Decrepit Birth, Archaic Winter, Mortician, Cattle Decapitation, Behemoth, Arch Enemy, Trivium, Kreator, Mayhem, Sadus, Grave Digger, Doom, Anal Cunt.

Some of those bands are quite obsecure (or shortlived), but who cares? They all make great music. I recommend them all to metalheads.

I like black, thrash, and death metal. I dislike core and Nu crap. Anyone else?

[animex09]

why don't slipknot fans count? they're like the only metal band I like......

Not all that bands make GREAT music. Some of them sucks HARD.
Morbid Angel is the case. You may like it, I'm not saying it's wrong, but it is NOT great music. Symphony X is great music.. Dream Theater is.. Scar Symmetry is... and a giant etc.

I pretty much recommend you to listen to:
[You probably know this one, but if not.. you're gonna love it] Job for a Cowboy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVzyT-gWQjc

Zimmers Hole: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpAA-NBUqYk&feature=channel

Strapping Young Lad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeG-6bpeUkA&feature=fvst

And if I remember more I'll add them. Tell me if you liked them ;D

[suigintou]

I'm not much of a "metalhead," but I do enjoy some metal. Metallica, Mastodon, Iron Maiden, Dream Theater, Megadeth, a very small amount of Slayer and Opeth...I guess that's mostly it.

Instrumental metal, like from those guys that do the metal Metroid covers, is also awesome.

[Demon Soul]

Slipknot is way too overrated. Their music is lame. I just got sick of listening to them and besides, I don't want to be known as a "maggot".

I copied that list from my YouTube profile which has my favorite bands and forgot to erase "Anal Cunt" from there. I don't think AC makes good music, just stupid music that makes me laugh. Most of those bands still make great music yeah.

Job For A Cowboy, Zimmer's Hole, and Strapping Young Lad are pretty good.

I love instrumental and video game metal. I can only think of the band Powerglove right now, but they are pretty much one of the best.

[suune]

I'm more of a Metallica fan...

[Salt]

Haven't heard of most of those bands, Demon. :( Certain areas of my metal exposure are deficient, as yet--I went in other directions, but I'd certainly like to broaden my knowledge, and your list might be a good place to start!

By "video game metal," can I assume you mean bands like Dragonforce? They're pretty sweet, but once you've heard two or three good songs you've heard their whole album. Granted, I've only heard one album of theirs (Inhuman Rampage was it?), but I think my point remains. Any others you know of, Demon?

As far as hard/metal stuff goes, I love bands like As I Lay Dying and August Burns Red. Oh, Sleeper, as well as Blessthefall, are also great. Bring Me The Horizon is good. One band you mentioned, Arch Enemy, is solid, but I prefer -->this band (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZo4bOZf3B4&feature=related)<--. Bullet For My Valentine is always a fun time too.

I listen to a fair amount of hardcore/screamo stuff, but I wouldn't put it all into the "metal" category. The above names are good samples, though.

And sometimes, the indy or lesser-known stuff is where the great music is at, Demon. /hi5 I love going on Myspace and finding less popular bands, kids just starting out, who can rock it in their own unique and throat-shredding ways. Like these guys. (http://www.myspace.com/ANDREAGALEROCK) Or these dudes. (http://www.myspace.com/settlethesky) This band (http://www.myspace.com/thecrimsonarmada) also has some talent.

Makes me happy. ^_^

[soulten]

So you don't consider or let slipknot fans "maggots"(wtf?) in cause you don't like the band? Sorry, seems a little stupid to me.

[Salt]

On the one hand, it *is* his thread, so he has the right to define what metal specifically he wants to talk about. Despite however right you might be in your assessment of Slipknot's metal status, I think you should respect his authorship of the intent of the thread.

On the other hand, Demon should always be aware that musical opinion is just that--opinion. Musical taste is always relative, man. ^_^

[soulten]

Well in all honesty I bet Slipknot would not have been mentioned if he hadn't titled it so. I just don't like the title choice you made, sorry.

Anyway, metal is low on my music list, always found it to just be a general "meh" across the board.

...same here!,.i guess,.it's unfair for those metal heads but like the slipknot cool!,.and i think some songs of slipknots are cool!,.huh!,.

well,.i listen to metal too,.death,.black,.name it!,.

but i'm not particular with the bands,.whatever,.as long as the music's good,.

i'm not like oh-it's-a-song-from-fucking-retards-i'll-listen-to-this type!,.

i'm more on i-like-this-song and just wait until my brother tells me who the bands are!,.

that's it!,.♥

I would've been provoked to beat the crap out of you if you said to my face that metal was "meh"!

Anyways, I put that anti-Slipknot thing in the title of my thread so that there wouldn't be people going "yeah I'm a metal head Slipknot rules!".

Oh and Raining Blood by Slayer would have gone great with the first episode of Elfen Lied.

Oh yes, beating each other up because of differing musical opinions, now we're conversing intelligently.

You're not a tough guy on the internet, remember? You're just a nerd, like the rest of us.

And personally, the absolutely dreadful end of "Raining Blood" makes it hard to enjoy the decent first half of it.

[BoneTosser]

You didn't mention Cradle of Filth or Killswitch Engaged. And what about Clutch or Mushroomhead?

[Aizen-Sama]

What about Metallica &Hollywood Undead

[-.Shiki.-]

What music do you listen to? I can respect all genres except techno. Techno is NOT music.

BTW I think Slipknot is "Nu Metal" and the one who made the thread claims to hate Nu metal, so it sounds pretty reasonable for me..

By the way..@Demon Soul: Divine Heresy is a balanced combination of utter brutality and great music. Search it ;)

EDIT: I forgot about Throwdown. It may not be of the greatest, but still cool.

[Salt]

I'd probably agree with you on the title choice, but it's his call. In my somewhat limited experience, metal and hard music fans are a rowdy, opinionated, and discriminating crowd. What can you do? ^_^

*throws up the horns*


EDIT: Eh, this was meant as a reply to Soulten's post. Stupid forum brought me to the immediate post after my last one, and not the end of the thread. I suppose I should try to be smarter than the forum. XD

EDIT x2: Don't get too bent out of shape, Sui. Demon's a metal head. It's what they do. It's silly, but again, what can ya do? :P *huggles*

EDIT x3: There's some hint of negativity here. Let's remember this thread had a very specific purpose: the glorification and discussion of metal. If you're not into metal, awesome, but try to keep the opposing viewpoints and comments to a minimum. Yub, yub.

...i love that one!,.♥

[Demon Soul]

Uh I'm sure the title of this thread didn't say "Slipknotfags" when I made this. It said "Slipknot fans". Oh well...

You still haven't told me a band I haven't heard yet. Divine Heresy and Clutch are good, but I don't really like Killswitch Engaged.

...owwww!,.you just edited the title!,.

try reding soem post and you'll see the others are giving band names!,.♥

[wilsonx94]

I'd listen to incubus. idk if you would call marylin manson metal, but if you do, i'll liten to them. slipknot wouldn't be under the title "metal", but more under the line of hard rock.

got a question, would you consider atreyu metal??

[mikesword]

I listen to Killswitch Engaged and some Metallica.

[wilsonx94]

metallica is pretty good. i like most of the older songs though...::D:

[carolyn07]

i'm a metal Fan and i like listening to Slipknot. They have great workout music especially their earlier stuff. Why so much hatred towards them dude. Like the music for what it is not the band or the man behind it. i personally hate Metalica but i would not say their musics sucks its actually really instrumentally good and they have alot of great songs.

QFT. It's always good to separate being a fan of a particular band from simply appreciating the skill in their craft. :)

there are times that,.we don't seem to like a particular song,.though same genre or band name!,.♥

*Unrelated question: Y'know, Carolyn, I've always wondered about the tendency of your posts to be unable to decide between using periods or commas. What's the deal there? :P

[Sakura123]

I enjoy metal, but European metal. It sounds like crap here in America.

I like...

TÝR
Finntroll
Myrkgrav
TrollfesT
Norther
Amon Amarath

just to name a few of my favorites.


One American metal band I don't mind (since they don't sound like fags) is Children of Bodom.


Ah, and I hate Metallica as well. All of their music sounds the same to me.

[mikesword]

I just downloaded a few albums of Metallica and its actually ok.

[mikesword]

I now have downloaded 5 albums of Metallica.
