    I'm not into metal, but I am into heavy music! Hardcore, deathcore, grind, post hardcore, melodic hardcore - I LOVE it.

    I've been a huge fan of Rush since the 70s.

    I also enjoy: Maiden, Queensryche, Porcupine Tree, Twisted Sister, Ozzy, old school Metallica, Opeth, Dio and I've been recently re-acquainting myself with the old school Black Sabbath.

    Love metal!! Lately I have been fixated on Oceano, Beneath the Sky, Pantera, White Chapel, Cannibal Corpse, Disfiguring the Goddess and generally anything else with growling vocals.

    Yes. Blind guardian, in flames, dark tranquility, nightwish, children of Bodom, Eluviette, and so on.

    I do not like ridiculousness like cannibal corpse, dying fetus, immortal and so on.


    Although, I'm a huge fan of visual kei, and crust punk as well. :O

    Oh, oh, oh! Your taste is so on (though I enjoy some 'ridiculousness myself')!

    Can we be friends? Lol!

    Thank God no one has said, "ASKING ALEXANDRIAAAAA"... At least if they have I haven't seen it.. Until I just said it.. But you know.

    Hahaha. I've already rolled my eyes at a lot of these "metal bands". Not to say the majority of the bands mentioned in this thread aren't excellent, but I definitely think some have confused metal with hard rock.

    I wonder what a real metalhead would think of me. I listen to a ton of different music, most of it popular. I'm way into jazz, crooners, bluegrass, rock, hip-hop, and pop music in general. Some of my favorite acts (right now) are Steely Dan, Chet Baker, Elvis Costello, Supertramp, Pink Floyd, Gorillaz, The Clash, the list goes on. Now, I do like some heavy metal, especially classics like Judas Priest (with Rob Halford), some Iron Maiden, Van Halen, Thin Lizzy, even a smattering of Slayer and Pantera.

    But the nerdy side of me is totally taken by acts like Blind Guardian (especially Nightfall), Symphony X (The Odyssey), Hammers of Misfortune (Locust Years, August Engine), and my absolute favorite band right now is The Lord Weird Slough Feg. If you haven't checked out Slough Feg, I'd very seriously recommend listening to Traveler, Atavism, Hardworlder, Down Among the Deadmen, and Twilight of the Idols, in that order. Who's with me?!

    I grew up on it. AC/DC, Def Leppard, Tesla, Queensryche, Dokken, Metallica, Megadeth, Pantera, Guns and Roses, Skid Row, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden.

    Started moving away from it in the 90's into alternative. Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Green Day, Rage Against the Machine, Tool, Primus, Nine inch Nails

    Now listen to a mixture of all but have branched out some electronic music, some more mainstream stuff like Coldplay and even some of the top 40/dance stuff but I always will hold old school metal close to my heart.

    For me, the heavier the better. \m/ :glasses:

    Since I am an '80's kid, I prefer the older stuff. Def Leppard, Queensryche, ACDC, Ozzy, Metallica, Rush (though they are probably more progressive rock) . That's about as heavy as I can take it.

    I love all of those bands with the exception of Rush. I don't like Geddy Lee's voice. But Neil Peart is an amazing drummer.

    Agree,All but Rush.Love Metallica
