I’m surprised nobody has mentioned Killswitch Engage yet. I guess you might call them “metalcore”, but they’re pretty fucking bad-ass. “Rose of Sharyn” and “A Bid Farewell” are awesome songs.
my fav bands
metallica
iron maiden
iced earth
iron savior
hammerfall
edguy
megadeth
blind guardian
dream theater
guns n roses
probly some of those you guys havent heard of
In the words of GG Alin, “Heavy metal is lame.”
Check out The Red Chord, Converge, Pig Destroyer, Mastodon, Regurgitate, Last Days of Humanity, old 18 Visions, old Poison the Well, The Black Dahlia Murder, Psyopus, Dillinger Escape Plan, Walls of Jericho, Face Down in Shit, Kill the Client, Fuck the Facts, Brujeria. I can’t think of any more.
Oh yeah, there is some pretty good hardcore/screamo stuff like Rise Against, Alexisonfire and With Honor.

I posted a link to one of their songs on a previous page. They definitely belong here.
Black Sabbath rule, Fairies wear boots is the greatest song ever.
Got every Metallica album, prefer RTL to MOP which has gotten me in a few arguments over the years.
Megadeth - Younthansia
Slayer - South of heaven
Iron Maiden - Powerslave
And of course anything by AC/DC is awesome

Sigh
Hah, GG Allin and all his disciples are… interesting. allmusic.com him (or Wikipedia, but allmusic is better for music).
go heavy and Mike, the whole thing between “real metal” and nu-metal comes mainly from hardcore metal fans, who don’t like having their style of music corrupted by attaching “metal” to a genre of music that they feel is not metal at all (bands like Slipknot, Korn, Static X, Linkin Park, etc.)
I guess it’s hard to understand unless you’re a staunch musician. I don’t care either way, but I do see their point.
Thanks for the interpretation. I don’t like GG or his music (I think he is a turd), I just find his quote interesting and funny. I think that is important for everyone to see the difference between “hardcore” and “mainstream” when it comes to issues. This is obviously a huge topic that would take a thesis to discuss, but it kinda goes like this:
Weightlifting: Us T-Men don’t like guido’s or abercrombie models “poluting” our idealistic version of lifting (i.e. deadlifts, olympic lifts, deep squats, etc).
Music: Us “Rockers” don’t like bands like Ra, or Seether, or Slipknot trying to “polute” our idealistic version of hardcore music (i.e. grind, industrial, hardcore, black metal, death metal, post rock, etc).
I don’t care what you listen to, just as I don’t care how you lift. Just don’t confuse hardcore and mainstream.
I should just add, try some of the bands I put up- you just may like them. Dillinger Escape Plan’s song 43% burnt was playing for me during my deadlift attempts at my first competition (sniff sniff- what a day).

Dillinger is pretty badass but I can only take them for a certain amount of time before my head starts to explode. They do have some amazing musicians though.

“hardcore & mainstream” C’MON! you guys are all so full of shit! not you personally dead_lifter5000, but the whole Label Society Douchebags who don’t know that their dicks are really just a pussy turned inside out… think about it (for those of you that don’t know anatomy and biology… you just said… huh?)
LAbels labels LaBeLs LABELS… its all the same shit and comes from the same roots.
First off all ‘real musicians’ know that all these knew genre were just created in the last 50 or 60 years compared to genre’s that lasted century’s and even for thousands of years. “Classical” is really all they had and some Gregorians and a baroque term to mix it up a little.
Some where along the lines “country” came and there you have it. Metal comes from Rock and both come from country.
Hell, if we were as pinheaded as these non-musicians who don’t even play an instrument, they just like labels and trends, we could create 50 more labels of music today just by the different rhythmic sounds we hear.
Music is music.
Kinda like Christianity. Basicly it was either a Catholic or a Jew back in the day. Then Martin Luther came alomg and fucked shit up and said “hey, I don’t want to be labled catholic, I wan’t to start my own fuckin’ religion” DUMBFUCK! so he did
…and he segregated from the Catholic church and started the protestant/Lutheran religion… whatever you want to label it and now you got 50 more disections of that goddam religion because of all the pinheads wanting to start new labels.
hold up… wait a sec, make that 52 new religions. Two new ones were just created as I was typing this thread.
I’m ruthless… I know, just go with it.
Go heavy, metal comes from rock and blues. And rock itself started as rhythm and blues. It all goes back to the blues.

Where do you think classic rock got its roots from? country and classical
Metal from rock from country from classical
Metallica = Metal
Mozart = Classical
Listen to Orion and see if you can draw a conclusion. Hetfield used a ton of classical lines in his music.
R&B & Jazz are all from country the same with rock and metal
country is the grandfather… long before blues
classical is the God
Go heavy- Just so you know, I’m not trying to be a punk about all this shit.
Go heavy, you’ve got it mixed up man. Do you have something against black people? This is a simple matter of history. Even country lists blues as one of its precursors. Blues originated with African slaves here in the US, and many elements of blues were taken directly from the music of Africa, including blue notes which you brought up for no apparent reason. But you’ll probably tell me that the Africans were listening to their radio down on the Niger River when they heard Hank Williams and were suddenly inspired to create the blues.
The “classic” in “classic rock” has nothing to do with classical music. You’re just making this shit up as you go along. It’s pretty obvious.
