What's Your Favorite Metal Band?

Off Topic
101

unexpect

Cynic

102

Nothing beats good ol’ Metallica

103
104

Iron Maiden. Followed by Megadeth perhaps. But I can’t stand listening to either very much anymore. Got enough during my teens.

105

If you like Unexpect, try Solefald, Vulture Industries, Diablo Swing Orchestra, Borknagar and Arcturs’ the sham mirrors.

I’ve listened to a lot of metal, but the ones I keep coming back to are Opeth and Soulfly:

Such as?

I know I already nominated one band, but I would like to point out Armored Saint. They are vastly underrated. Even though I like Belladonna Anthrax I actually started listening them after John Bush joined. I was probably the only person in the world that became an Anthrax fan because of Armored Saint.

112

I’ve been listening to metal of all sorts for over 30 years, but I have just not ever been able to make the transition to “Cookie Monster Vocal Metal”. I love the instruments and the grooves but convulsing into the mic has just never settled in with me.

I liked the other Anthrax singers, but I really like John B. He makes that band sound full. He has a BIG voice (like Bono, Vedder, Dio, Springsteen) I also like Saint- their new album is good…not great.

I’m still a fan of Dio, Iron Maiden, Priest, Queensryche, Anthrax, Slayer, Metallica, Megadeth…

116

Killswitch Engage covering Holy Diver by Dio = Best song to deadlift to… .ever…

117

Seeing SKELETONWITCH and 1349 tomorrow. Don’t really give a crap about Cannibal Corpse.

118

And some SKELETONWITCH. My favorite band, ever ever ever. Of every time ever.

It was an acquired taste for me. If you listen to it enough you begin to love it. Just gotta get through the initial first stage.
