Whats your favorite metal band? :)
Mine is Cradle Of Filth :]

[jakieboi]

AVENGED SEVENFOLD TILL I DIE BABY!!!! wooo

[Triceratops]

I have too many ^__^
but I'll name a few

Disturbed - their lyrics guide me through a lot of situations and they're meaningful.
Slipknot - forever and ever and ever!<3
Killswitch Engage - their lyrics are good and on a whole they're awesome.

Well, the bands I listed would fall into Alternative Metal mostly (my favourite kind). As I'm not really into death metal, black metal, thrash metal etc.

[sabotaged111]

Disturbed - their lyrics guide me through a lot of situations and they're meaningful.

Nicely said, i agree. Also, megadeth are damn good

[DaretoFallup]

Disturbed a metal band????

if so then yeah disturbed

[paintballer42]

Slipknot

[theOperaGhost]

Disturbed is good, but I have to say Metallica, since they basically created metal.

Metallica FTW!!!!

[xGreenling]

Helloween, baby. :D Alestorm, Moonsorrow, Dir en Grey (J-rock can be metal, right?), System of a Down...

And Nightwish if they count. But I don't really like the new girl - old singer was better, IMHO. Or rather, I preferred her style of singing.

[george]

Yeah the old singer was a lot better, had a more operatic voice that went better with the sound of the band.

[DarkWingedAngel]

umm less see
Slipknot
Disturbed
and
Metallica

[Sage]

Daaaamn. There's too many. Rep to anybody who has heard of at least five of these...

Blind Guardian, Demons and Wizards, Dezperadoz, Green Carnation, Dark Moor, Apocalyptica (sort-of?), Therion, Thaurorod, Pyramaze, Orphaned Land, Lake of Tears, Silentium, Madder Mortem, At Vance...

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

And Nightwish if they count. But I don't really like the new girl - old singer was better, IMHO. Or rather, I preferred her style of singing.

Yes, xGreenling, Nightwish counts. It's symphonic metal. Look up all the subgenres of metal, there are a lot. ^^

I've heard of Dark Moor, Therion, Silentium, Apocalyptica. Ahh that's 4 bands :P lol
I've never actually listened to any of their music though, (I've heard like one of Apocalptica's songs). I've only heard them being mentioned on peoples myspace profiles as such.
What sort of metal actually are they?

aha thank you :)
i was guessing they would be along the lines of that sort of metal
i don't like gothic/power/black metal though
but wow you know your music well :)


OMG i totally forgot one of my other fave metal bands

Rammstein!!! i think they would be classed as metal anyway, idk.
But they're awesome :D

[Θάνατος]

I personally like Dragon Force, but if you look at some of the original metal bands I like KISS.

[Sage]

Gothic is okay if you get past the sappy lyrics. Power metal is awesome but I can't blame those who don't like it... As for black metal, I have to agree with you, it's horrible. : <

...And to be honest, I had to look half of them up, because I couldn't classify them myself. xD

[japanman]

DIR EN GREY :D

[Neverender]

http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq120/Akairein/Diru.jpg

DIR EN GREY :D

Pope Sweet Jesus. thats shocking.




i love metallica. they're the best. and dragonforce is alright (seeings as they have 11 guitarists), but once you've heard 1 of their songs you've heard them all. they're all the same.

[Triceratops]

I love Dir En Grey :O

Oh and also, has anyone heard of Children Of Bodom?
Like when I was going through this heavy metal stage, they were all that I would listen to. As well as Trivium, but they kinda suck ¬__¬ But at that time my favorite band was H.I.M. and I still like them but personally I would never consider them metal at all, even though some people do.

I actually used to listen to a lot of good metal bands. I've heard of most of them as well.

[Raynes]

Disturbed no longer considered themselves metal, they are Hard Rock now. However, it's the closest thing to metal I care for, so Disturbed.

[Jean Poutine]

Does NDH (Neue Deutsche Härte) counts? If yes...

-Eisbrecher
-Megaherz
-Oomph!
-Rammstein
-Unheilig

I don't really like more North American metal, to be honest...I understand German quite well so lyrics aren't generally a problem for me, so NDH is very enjoyable...I just like how the Germans do it better :P

Most jrock make my ear bleed. What's with the Japanese and nasal vocals?

[0=]

Am I gonna be shot for saying Black Sabbath? :P

[Parkway_lover]

Hmm Parkway Drive, IKTPQ im fair sure dying fetus is closing in on death/grindcore actually so is messhuga and amon amarth is confusing but fair fun to listen to.
Although im not particularly educated on genres so forgive me if i completely screw up what i say. Its just my opinion but in the end im just in it for the actual music but ill gladly listen to any advice on categorising bands into genres. Atreyu are pretty sweet *Becoming The Bull* *Doomsday*

[Triceratops]

Hmm Parkway Drive, IKTPQ im fair sure dying fetus is closing in on death/grindcore actually so is messhuga

I actually like that kind of stuff too.
The Bleedout<3 i love. Also Waking The Cadaver, Annotations Of An Autopsy, August Burns Red, Clone The Fragile, Sky Eats Airplane, Born Of Osiris, A Skylit Drive...that kind of stuff really. I could go on :)

[Removed]

Metallica - 4ever <3
SoD - Alxo
G'n'R - luv them more of their songs are rock but
Apocalyptica - My fave classical metal band
Disturbed - <3

AND A LOT MORE ................................

[WEO]

In Flames, Arch Enemy, Norther, Wintersun, Children of Bodom, Amon Amarth, Imperanon, Enslaved, Scar Symmetry, Kalmah, Ensiferum and Aeveron(song: Fallen into Oblivion)

If i have to pick one..well.. probably Norther!

[Triceratops]

I'm listening to Children of Bodom right now ^.^
Smile Pretty for the Devil.

I like a lot of their stuff, but Blooddrunk is immense!

[Viral Death]

Slipknot kicks @$$

[AllThatIsLeft]

Korn ..... i love the singer's voice, orgasmic. and their instrumentals, jeez tooooo good

[Setzer]

Nightwish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :):):)

[HeatherBreannaa]

Helloween, baby. :D Alestorm, Moonsorrow, Dir en Grey (J-rock can be metal, right?), System of a Down...

And Nightwish if they count. But I don't really like the new girl - old singer was better, IMHO. Or rather, I preferred her style of singing.

Moonsorrow is definitely one of the best.

It's very heavy folk metal.

I also really like Korpiklaani, Ajattara, and Ensiferum.


And for those of you who like Dir en Grey, I suggest you see them live. I saw them live in NYC in...2006...I think. They put on a great show even though we couldn't always tell what they were saying and vice versa. It was close to my birthday too so I got VIP seats and an autographed poster by the entire band. =)

Yes, be jealous. =P

[Triceratops]

Korn ..... i love the singer's voice, orgasmic. and their instrumentals, jeez tooooo good

They're freakin awesomeeeee, I love them too [:

[Setzer]

Woot, metal! :wub: Nightwish is by far my favourite, both the with the old and the new singer, then Therion, Arch Enemy, Tristania, In Flames, Rammstein, Moonspell.. I could go on and on. :P

I think that Tarja is better than Anette V.V there's no challenge between the first and the second ù.ù

[Viral Death]

Slipknot all the way

[alsoknownas]

Disturbed is good, but I have to say Metallica, since they basically created metal.

Metallica FTW!!!!

Ooooooh I'd have to go with Metallica, slipnot, and yes, dragonforce (because they play really fast and good melodies and I have a guitar signed by Herman li

[Triceratops]

I don't get the hype with Dragonforce :confused:
They're painful for my ears, it's like too many things going on all at once.

[Rockin Rolla]

Disturbed is good, but I have to say Metallica, since they basically created metal.

Metallica FTW!!!!

im sorry bro, im a die hard rocker, metallica didnt basically create metal.. such an ignorant statement.. what about the bands who inspired them to being rockers? there are several interviews from the early 80s of metallicas band members, and the one band i hear the most from there mouths would be motorhead.. metallicas old shit kicked ass, but they have lost it, and now they are just as pathetic as all these other money hungry bands..

sorry, this is just my opinion..

Megadeth and pantera.. best two bands to ever pollute my mind :D

[Music Lover]

Sonata Arctica!!!

[Wonder.]

If metal includes heavy metal, and that includes screamo, and if that includes scare little children, then my answer would be Otep.
