LOL.

I'm more into hard rock, classic rock and punkrock than metal.
It's more fun and less serious. I like that.

AC/DC (Bon Scott), Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, Buckcherry, Creedence, Dead Boys, Guns N' Roses, Motorhead, Oasis, Riot (Guy Speranza), Ramones, Rose Tattoo, Sex Pistols, UFO, Van Halen (David Lee Roth), Zodiac Mindwarp,...

The few metal bands that I like are Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Danzig and Dissection. There might be others but I can't recall them right now.

The fist 4 albums are freakin' awesome.
But it's the kind of music you have to listen to a couple of times before you really appreciate it. And you have to be in the right mood.
I don't play them often but I love them.

Same with me.

I'm not sure if you consider them metal or not but I really enjoy Deftones.

Correct about their first few albums. Mainly i am targeting their later songs. At least when I when i went to one of their concerts two years ago they played their early stuff. Mostly they played stuff from when they were called the misfits. They even had Doyle back with them.

My Favorite heavy metal bands?

Kinda difficult to separate "metal" from hard rock & nu metal. Like Baron Von Marlon said, I'm more into hard rock & classic rock than "metal".

Favs would be: AC/DC, Def Leppard & Mastedon (not Mastodon)

Other "metal" groups with some good music: Ozzy, Sabbath, Priest, Scorpions, Van Hallen, Motley Crue, Kingsx, Metallica, If you want to call them metal: Deep Purple/Rainbow, Rage Against the Machine, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Blue Oyster Cult

adding to list
Bolt Thrower
Sabaton
AC/DC


Didn't even know that this thread was still around.

I listen to Five Finger Death Punch like my life depends on it... ::devil::


(That's where the quote in my sig came from in case anyone wondered.)

There's actually a band called that?
Would you believe that there is a band called Trippple nippple?

They are actually quite famous, playing as headliners on some festivals. FFDP I mean, not Tripple nipple xD Don't dig them though.

Hellva list there. Bravo. I like all types of metal black, thrash and death metal mostly. Favs would be Slayer #1 for me, Death, Mayhem, Emperor, Cannibal Corpse, Suffocation and Sepultura to name a few. Obviously love the classics Metallica, Maiden, Priest etc.

I guess my top list would be...

Arkona
Forever Slave
Rhapsody of Fire
Manowar
Skyforest

Elsewhere no other group really produces more than a good album.

And my guilty pleasure Blind Guardian and Dragonforce but I wouldn't admit that if this wasn't anonymous!

I am currently very into Butcher Babies...I also love Cradle of Filth, I play them often and Dawn of Ashes is also a favorite of mine....That is all for now..::sad::

Iron maiden
Death
Behemoth

I was more into progressive and classic rock than metal. And don't listen to much of it these days, haven't kept up. But listening to the beginning of this local metal show, I know there's a lot of really good new metal. Old 'metal' I used to like was Def Leppard (Pyro), Rush, Priest, White Snake and really just a lot of metal songs, not really into the albums/bands.

Yeet!

Burzum
Immortal
Amon Amarth
