Poll: A poll for all the headbangers out there!!!

[MMMowman]

Disturbed really? Wow, I always found them kind of soft.

Have you listen to the outro to Get Down with the Sickness?

I admit it's a hard choice to mix between Death Metal, Poodle Rock, Glam Rock and the like, but Heavy Metal is usually defined as strong bass and drums, dark lyrics and the lead guitar/lyricist duelling.

But if you're looking at Kashmir (match against G&R November Rain or Paranoid) and The Immigrant Song (match against Maiden's Run To The Hills) then you can put them as metal, Stairway matches to Bohemian Rhapsody (And Queen so are metal) but how would you define the difference between Rock and Heavy Metal?

You know what? I have no idea and it could be metal but since it doesn't have that certain dark sound metal usually has I usually refer to it as hard rock instead.

I will ask a friend of mine who knows this stuff and share his opinion with you if you want.

Is rage against the machine metal? I've never heard any one like them.

I guess they're considered rap-metal, though I view them as more of a hard rock band.

 

[Estelindis]

Nightwish

Amazing music, extraordinary lyrics, and the whole band are just really lovely people.

Sounds cool, I'll ask some of mine as well as I don't know if bands like Sisters of Mercy would be that, Gothrock or something else?

 

[snoopy7393]

Rage Against The Machine
Out of the options above probably Korn though, and why is there no Metallica choice? I've never even heard of Strapping Young Lad

haha, they are the best (and maybe the only =/ ) Canadian Extreme Metal band =0

I found out their is no way of knowing what genre they are and it is all an opinion so you are right. This is why Black Sabbath make it onto hard rock and metal lists because it is their opinion and thats it. Alot of people even say Metallica is a hard rock band as crazy as that sounds, but guess what? You can't prove them wrong!

Similar here. With Death Metal, Thrash Metal etc. there's very little way of telling anything apart from their similarity to Black Sabbath. Maiden is most definitely metal though.

Agreed. Iron Maiden are probably the best example of great metal and set the standard, even more than Judas Priest.

 

[Slayer6666]

and a few more where are

Exodus?
Overkill?
Exhorder?
testament
kreator

 

[LoopyDood]

See avatar. I'm waiting to see if anyone knows what band it is.
