[QUOTE="Mark Hope, post: 2817756, member: 27051"] [b]Bang that head that doesn't bang[/b] Mmmmm.... metal.... I have a pretty diverse taste in music but metal is my first love. You really can't beat loud guitars, crushing bass and a thundering beat. I discovered hard rock and metal back in 1982 with [I]Dirty Deeds[/I] by AC/DC and [I]Number of the Beast[/I] by Iron Maiden. I was heavily into Maiden, Judas Priest, Saxon and other British metal back in those days. From there I developed a real taste for Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Testament, Metal Church, Exodus and Slayer - the gods of thrash. Other faves from this time are Queensryche, Sabbat, Skyclad and Living Colour. I'm also quite fond of the classics like Led Zeppelin, Rush, Black Sabbath and the like, but never bought loads of their stuff. Van Halen and early Motley Crue were kinda cool too, but they were about as far as I went with that kind of softer stuff. In the early 90s I was in a doom metal band called Creepmime. We recorded a couple of cds, toured quite a bit in Europe and then disappeared in a blaze of obscurity. Good times, though, especially playing with genre-masters Death on our third or fourth show and doing a mini-tour with Cynic. Since then I have gotten heavily into Tool (haven't bought the new album yet - gonna treat myself to it when I go on vacation to the USA next week), Perfect Circle, Opeth and Static-X. Disturbed are pretty damn cool as well. I gotta say, though, that nu-metal doesn't really do anything for me. I just don't feel that fire when I listen to it. Oh well.
