Metal fans, come share in the love!

Sevendust gets a bit of airplay at Freq 107 here in Winnipeg (it's an alt. rock station), but I'll be sure and DL those songs and a couple by Ra too. If I like it, you may have just helped them pay the electricity bill

Cool, let us know what you think.

Sevendust has 4-5 albums, although from what I hear their newest album ("Next") isn't all that great. Ra has two ablums out so far: "From One" and "Duality". I don't like "Duality" much, but their first album is great.

For sure, I'll just ahve to see how hard they are to find

Thanks for the opinions

I also LOVE power metal! Sonata Arctica, Nightwish, Stratovarius, etc.

I also am loving Power Metal, and introduced my players to it during a D&D game. I now have a ravid following of Rhapsody in my group and in my highschool

Children of Bodom, being a Melodic Black/Power Metal hybrid, is also really, really awesome. 'Follow the Reaper' is an amazing song, FYI.

and shadowbane2, does deep purple count as metal? that really surprises me, it seems more like, uhm, early rock

Metal is easily identified by two charictaristics:

1. Guitar Power Cords

2. Heavy emphasis on drums

Deep Purple was one of the first bands to feature both of these.

Just listen too the following albums:
Machine Head
Fireball
In Rock

Early Rock: Elvis, Beetles, Rolling Stones. Not Deep Purple.

lol, so we both gree then that there wasnt anything worthwhile in the '80s, right?

More or less. Early Metallica is good. I think Slayer might have been the 80s too. I guess what I meant was that good rock/metal isn't quite as consistant after "Moving Pictures" (1981)

My metal tastes run the gamut from classic (Black Sabbath, Ozzy, old-school Metallica, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden), 80s hair (Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Poison), 90s grunge (new Metallica, Nirvana, Offspring), and some of the turn-of-the-century stuff such as Disturbed, Rammstein (Du Hast and Feuer Frei are my favorites from that band), System of a Down and others.

My Internet experience has also introduced me to Power Metal, with such acts as Blind Guardian, Nightwish, Manowar and Dragonforce.

I'm a bit old school (born in 69 ) I grew up on AC / DC and got into GNR and the Crew. Some Skid Row also.

Recently I have been listening to a lot of Drowning pool. Got hooked into them through movie soundtracks and of all things- wrestling soundtracks. :\

I also love Rammstein Personally, my absolute favourites at: Mein Hertz Brent, Feuer Frei!, Moskau, Stein Um Stein, Rosenrot, Spring, Engel and Spiel Mit Mirr. I find their slower songs are some of their better ones, but I like all of their styles. So good all-around though

However, some really messed up lyrics (I'll let some of you more adventurous ones figure out the translations for Spiel Mit Mirr or Zwitter)

P.S. 'The Gods Made Heavy Metal' is the only Manowar song I like, but damned if it isn't awesome

 

[John Q. Mayhem]

Weisses Fliesch is worse

And I'll pit "So What?" against any Rammstein for crazy vileness. But Rammstein's still darn vile.

EDIT: I love 'em anyways

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

[megamania]

I saw Faster Pussycat at concert 2-3 years ago. Not sure what to make of them.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Faster Pussycat of 2-3 years ago is NOTHING compared to Faster Pussycat of 17 or so years ago.

Then, they were playing a festival show in San Antonio on the second stage, and motivated the crowd to get just rowdy enough to make the cops shut 'em down. (In all honesty, the cops overreacted, but still...)
