I listen to all kinds of music, but Metal is definitely one of my favorites. Love Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Rush, the Nuge (natch'), Motorhead...the list is pretty long.
I went to reply to the thread and got sucked into youtube videos...
Judas Priest is my favorite, but if it's metal, chances are I'll head-bang to it. There's nothing like being in the middle of a pumped up crowd during a concert.
Count me in and thank God for internet radio... I can't stand what used to be my favorite radio station in the Louisville area anymore now since I'm back from school, they play nothing but the watered down pop/rock now.
Amon Amarth, Hypocrisy, Evergrey, The Black Dahlia Murder, Slayer, Testament, Exodus, Impaled Nazarene, Cannibal Corpse, Agalloch, Megadeth, Edguy, Kalmah, Insomnium, old In Flames, Soilwork, Dark Tranquility, Iron Maiden, Machinehead, Meshuggah, Motorhead, Protest The Hero, Avenged Sevenfold, Shadows Fall, Children of Bodom, Dragonforce, Into Eternity, Opeth...
I have been a Maiden fan since 1980.
But mostly listen to Type O Negative these days.
Not metal IMHO but they get classed as such, are heavy in a different way and very good.
With these vids I am shivering in anticipation of the rep landslide
One of my all time favorites, musically it IMHO is fantastic (and yeah, I was an art major, understand music theory and other, so stand very firm in my assessments). Not saying folks have to like technical high end stuff, ya like what ya like, make no apologies for that! But when people claim a band to be superior, or a song, and it's some crap a 5th grader with 2 months of garage time can pull off..............it might well be a great song but it isn't a friggin' masterpiece
Somebody did this cover of it..............brings me to tears, not sure why but it friggin' just slays me (I should call in to work and stay home and drink)
Decent cover of a cool band/song (love me some Sisters- esp with a spandex chubby hottie doing that hip flip stuff..........if you know, you know but IMHO it should have been heavier....
Same band, different singer..............great metal intro............best when speaker overloads glow like the fires of Hell.........wish it had a different singer, never cared for Alder
Which reminds me.............of when Maiden brought on that turd Blaze. WTF were they thinking??? Hated that era.
Fates Warning fan and coworker and I got to talking back then............what should Maiden have done?
Simple answer: Dio.
Dio up front with Maiden...........that would have been "mighty". Probably would have destroyed all else in their wake. Not sure who should sing this song, maybe not Dio..........dunno. But it hammers and needs a better vocalist.........what a waste of a great intro.........screaming crap just sucks.
