Metal thread

I agree completely, i honestly can't see what the fuss is about. Same for Slayer and Dream Theater.

lol and just as quickly we must disagree, you mentioned two bands i would give the "fuckin a" medal to, especially dream theatre solely on account of john petrucci an extremely technical guitarist

See, i know he's amazing, but technical skill alone cannot make me like a band. Their music just seems to be them jumping up and down saying 'look at what we can do, we're so talented.' There doesn't seem to be any real substance to their music. I'd take Machine Head over them anyday.

This is Equilibrium. They are my favorite band. =D

I'm huge into prog stuff, like Between the Buried And Me and Dream Theater.
I also love GWAR and Alice Cooper. [top 5 in that order]

I'm surprised to see a lot of nu-metal lovers. I personally think that nu-metal serves only as a precursor to the heavier stuff. But because metal is such a broad genre of music, the fact that there's something for everbody.

That's dragonforce. Dream Theater is just a band that plays really well together. John Myung is probably my favorite bass player. And the drummer is one of the best I've seen. It's not just petrucci, it's the band being an amazing lineup.

O man! They are really quite good. Reminds me a hell of a lot of Ensiferum and Wintersun. Love the part in the video where the amp is bleeding. So so metal. ^^

Name ONE metal band you don't think anyone has heard of, and I have probably heard of them in some way, shape, or form.

Dimmu Borgir?

I really only listen to their "Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropy" record, but they are extremely good.

Anybody who listens to black metal has heard of Dimmu Borgir. I dont even like black metal and ive heard of them.
Anyone heard of Fuck... Im Dead? Autralian grindcore.

FUCKIN' SLAYER!!!

Pantera were a bit hit a miss but Cowboys and Vulgar were superb. Their albums do contain more filler than people will admit to, though.

Far Beyond Driven and The Great Southern Trendkill are fucking amazing too. Mostly because of a few songs, like War Nerve on Trendkill and Im Broken and 5 Minutes Alone on Driven, but even without those songs, they are still brilliant albums.

Don't forget Floods. Never forget Floods.

And to bring the thread back into focus, am I the only one who was impressed with "Death Magnetic"?

Quite possibly. I liked it, there were some good riffs and few things beat having a good run with That Was Just Your Life blasting into your ears, but it was pretty repetitive, especially the first three tracks. Still, it's a massive improvement on St Anger. There's life in the old dog yet.

Touche. One of the best songs to get stoned to. Especially the end when its just the rain and the guitar. So fucking cool. Even without that song, great album.

And to that I concour . Although Stink fist by Tool and the whole Fu Manchu album California Crossing (especially Squash that Fly) can be added to the stoned music list.

Oh right not metal, editing. It has some metal elements though.

Everything is an improvement on St Anger.

Metallica is still popular and I hate to say this Bullet For My Valentine made metal a bit more famous in europe. Of course I could mention Disturbed but I don't think that Disturbed is metal (I still like the band).

Metal is not even close to death.

In my opinion you have some researching to do mate. So much amazing stuff has come out this decade. Lamb of God getting the recognition they deserve for one, as well as the evolution of a lot of great bands.
