Seems like Metal Heads on OT are popping up everywhere, so for curiosity, I'm going to put a bunch of big metal genres up, and you can vote on your favorite. If you don't find Death/Glam/Prog with a twist of Industrial metal or something like that as a choice, choose the most similar genre on the list or "other" and name it in the thread. To make it easier to vote, I've put some examples up from each genre. 80's metal/Heavy Metal (early metal): Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple. Extreme Metal (Black/Death/Thrash and all inbetween): Cannibal Corpse, Emperor, Slayer, Metallica, Dimmu Borgir, In Flames, Dark Tranquillity Nu/Industrial/Gothic Metal: Slipknot, Rammstein, Nightwish, Gothminister Prog/Folk/Viking/Power: Dream Theater, Rush, Amon Amarth, Symphony X, Dragonforce, Ensiferum Other: Anything that makes my head bang.
I like em all except nu-metal, most industrial metal, and gothic metal. As for Prog, Folk, Pagan, Viking and Power they are good.Except what the hell is Pagan metal??? never heard it. Could it be realated with another type of metal??? Black Metal??

Oh, sorry about that. Pagan is pretty much the same as Folk, only with pagan lyrics.
Thrash metal ownes all. Metallica is the best band ever. aaaaarrrrggggg
yup
And as for the new wave of British metal all it is is just emo with heavy guitars and half assed riffs take Bullet For My Valentine for example they're crap.

Actually there are many Thrash metal bands better then Metallica. As for back in the 80's. Yes they were awesome. Exodus is damn good though. We all have our opinions, mine is that Metallica is the best band ever.
The best metal is the original metal. Black Sabbath FTW.
Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Ozzy Osbourne and Bill Ward FTW!
[Ronny James Dio is not bad either] foxhound_fox
I read in a Guitar Player magazine (I think it was) and there was a little article in it about metal. It said something to the affect of... Black Sabbath invented metal, and Metallica perfected it.

If you like the music... who gives a rats ass?

I would fully agree with that. Although I prefer listening to Sabbath... because I can actually play along with my guitar... >_>

If you like the music... who gives a rats ass? I can tell if i like a band generally by how many of their songs i like. If i enjoy more songs of a band, i can probably assume that i like the band more.
hey crucifine, do you like stuff from Cattle Decapitation, and Dying Fetus??? As for you aaaaarrrrggggg, yes that is your opinion. and I agree, they are one of the best. But I respect your opinion. What do you think of the St. Anger stuff???
What do you think of the St. Anger stuff??? sprint_car_fan2
I prefer Metallica's older songs from the Master of Puppets era, they've lost their touch since the Black Album though. Their songs don't seem as unique anymore.
Yeah, I agree, I liked everything up to St.Anger, St. Anger just sucked. Yes old metallica is the best. Does anyone here like the band Vital Remains???

After you perfect Metal, where else is there to go? ;)
It seems to me they just went with what worked instead of trying to make new things. "Master of Puppets" is an amazing album. "Battery" is probably one of the best album starters I have heard. :D

I thought it was a breath of fresh air for Metallica. Lighter songs... a little less noise soundings. I don't know. I just really enjoy that album as much as I enjoy Ride The Lightning or Reload.

Lighter songs? Which album did you say you listened to? Because St. Anger is stodgy and noisy.

I have not really got around to listening to Metallica's new stuff. But I highly doubt that it is as "bad" as some people make it out to be. They are great musicians.

They aren't super fast and uber-overdriven like some of their other albums. *shrugs* One of my favorite songs of theirs of all time is Low Mans Lyric. I *LOVE* that song. And The Unnamed Feeling!
Oh Symphony X is good. They are Progressive Power Metal, and man does it sound good. Yeah I have some Vital Remains songs on my computer. The drumming sounds ok. Do you like Mercyful Fate?
