    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 forgot... i love symphony X. :)

    Symphony X is amazing. I saw them live last year and they're a fantastic live act. Russell Allen has ridiculous charisma.

    My favourite bands are Tool, Nine Inch Nails and Paradise Lost. I've saw load's of bands live including Slipknot, Metallica, Machine Head and Type O Negative. Haven't been to a gig in ages though :(

    How was Type O? I'm sad I'll never meet Pete Steele. :(

    They were amazing. So glad I got to see them. RIP Pete Steele

    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.

    They're one of those bands I love to ignore. Along with a lot of the new screamy bands these days, like wth?

    Man that's such a good list. Some of those bands I haven't seen live but have met. I'm real lazy when it comes to actually attending a concert. People concern me. I have seen Marduk and Behemoth. Behemoth were amazing. Haven't seen Murderdolls or Drag Queens but have saw Wednesday. I've seen Goatwhore, Manson, Danzig, COB and Devil Driver. I did prefer seeing Coal Chamber though. It was like a childhood dream lol. I'm jealous of Suicide Silence =(

    Phew, that list! I've only been to about 3 dozen shows, most of which were local bands. I've met a few good people, though. Coolest musician I met was Chrigel Glanzmann from Eluveitie. I need more time and more money. xD

    Eluviette sadly doesn't sound that great live. 25 people on one stage, sound check never got their instruments within the right balance. You hear drums, herdy gurdy, and yelling. :(

    I've seen a lot f bands live- not to top her list, although a lot of them were punk. ;)

    Also, one of my parts of the metal scene is how chill everyone is. Very few guys too good to chill with you and have a drink at the bar

    Slayer is one of those bands that I really feel I need to see. Who knows when I'll get a chance, though.

    Has anyone else seen a really good show recently? I just saw Varg, Wintersun and Eluveitie in December, and every band seriously killed it! They were all so nice, too. Except for Jari (Wintersun). He wouldn't even give me the time of day. =/
    They come to Albany NY every year. I want to see them again
    Ah, NY is right up my alley! I would think their tickets cost a pretty penny, though, no?
    I think we got them half price because of my bros gf. I think they were still 60 or 80 dollars at half price but every ticket was a floor ticket. Insane mosh pits. Crowd surfing. Beer bottles (plastic) flying every where. I was up in the SOs shoulders so I had a great view. I so want to do it again!

    Too true. I always regret it afterwards. Once I get past the certain type of scene there it's pretty good. I have to say the most chill people I've encountered where at Black Metal concerts. When you start going to gigs where they're mainly core you see the wanks come out. Just stuck up people. Around my area anyway.
