[QUOTE="Hockey_Slayer"][QUOTE="KHAndAnime"]Glad to see so many people enjoy Iron MaidenRikardur

But seriously though, if any band had to represent metal, it would be Iron Maiden.

[QUOTE="Rikardur"][QUOTE="Hockey_Slayer"] Really though how can you hate a band like that? If you do you just really don't like metal.SF_KiLLaMaN

[QUOTE="PernicioEnigma"][QUOTE="SF_KiLLaMaN"] Well, I guess you need to start looking at other genres, because metal is clearly not for you. :D

4. Calico System.
5. The Devil Wears Prada.

Hardcore and Screamo are not sub genres of metal and even if you do pick some metalcore bands you'll still get flamed. :P All the people picking BMTH are making me sad. :(

Uhhh I don't know where that came from. I generally enjoy most forms of music and metal. I, actually like a few metalcore bands (e.g Parkway Drive, All that Remains) sure it's not a sub genre I follow whole heartedly but I get an occasionaly kick out of it. I was just saying generally if you post any form of Metalcore band you will get hated on, I'm not the one doing the hating.

Oh and I do hate BMTH. They're pretty much the only band I hate with a fiery passion and the fact that some of my friends eye hump that talentless hack Ollie Sykes just takes the cake.

I've always wondered what people consider A7X nowadays. They were metalcore but after the jump in musical direction I've got no idea.

I hate them too.

And I know many girls that like him as well.

[QUOTE="Iceozo"]

[QUOTE="frostybanana"] Metal encompasses a vast amount of music. If you're upset because people are lumping metalcore into that, well try and define your specific taste in metal and stick with it. If you're into 80s thrash, stick with that. No ones going to lump metalcore into that category and the problem is solved. I love all types of metal. I would say I'm a legitimate fan of the metal genre as a whole. But what I've noticed about a good amount of the other fans is that a lot of them are intolerant of other kinds of music and carry around this elitist attitude that, quite frankly, gives all metal fans a bad name. There's no reason to look down on someone because they like a specific kind of music, no matter how reprehensible that style of music may be to you. If you're that annoyed about something as insignificant as lumping a bunch of bands you don't like into a large primary genre that you tend to enjoy, then narrow your definitions. It's not hard, instead of saying "I like metal", say "I like 80s thrash". Problem solved.frostybanana

Fair enough.

I'm not just talking about the girls either unfortunatly -_-. They were doing a free show in my town and a few of my friends asked me to go, I gotta admit I did laugh hard when I heard they were doing a free show to pull people in.

Edge of Sanity
Atheist
Anaal Nathrakh
Destroyer 666
Drowning The Light

2-5 are always changing, this is only currently.

1. Agalloch

2. Iron Maiden

3. Black Sabbath

4. Nevermore

5. Judas Priest

I don't really listen to much Metal these days. If you asked me my favorite Metal bands two years ago, it would have been a very different list. :P

Sonata Arctica

Theocracy

Blind Gaurdian

Gravedigger

Van Canto

[QUOTE="ToastRider11"]

1: Avenged Sevenfold

2: Iron Maiden

3: Slipknot

4: Bullet for My Valentine

5: Disturbed

Hockey_Slayer

Those are rock.

I'd consider them a mix. Depends on what you listen to from them. I thought they were metal the first time I heard them, then I listened to some of their other stuff and it sounded more like hard rock.

My tastes change all the time, but my top 5 are:

1. Metallica

2. Deftones (probably more Rock than Metal though)

3. Black Label Society

4. Fear Factory

5. Slipknot

I must be falling behind the times in Metal, because I've no idea who 90% of the bands you guys are listing are :lol: . I've Youtubed a few but it's all that generic screaming crap that seems to be sucking the life out of Metal nowadays. Where is the originality?

KlepticGrooves

As of right now

• Hail of Bullets
• Evocation
• Hooded Menace
• Spawn of Possession
• Ulcerate

Black Sabbath
Iron Maiden
Megadeth
Judas Priest
Slayer

Those are really the only metal bands that I listen to. I'd love to get into more metal, though it's hard to find where to start.

I like Sonata Arctica :)

At least their earlier stuff. Wolf & Raven and The Cage are still two of my favorite songs even if I don't listen to much Power Metal (Or ever did really).

Just found the band Dragged into Sunlight it's freaking awesome at least itunes is good for something :P
