Metalhead my entire life. Way to long of a list of favorite metal bands. Obviously listen to music other then metal (name probably gave that away) but metal will always be #1.

Big metal head too from way back. I grew up at a time and place where metal was really big but rap was also something I got into early. My first 2 tapes were RUN-DMC and Kill 'Em All; this was like 1985 and I was in 1st grade. Metal will always be #1 for me though.

I really don't listen to much rap anymore, at least not much made after about 2000 and to be honest I'm both unfamiliar and not into some of the "newer" metal bands. Too much of it is too death metal-ish for me (which to me was a quickly passing phase for about a year in 7th grade) or too radio friendly.

I know what I like and I stick to mostly the older stuff from the 80s and early 90s. Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth, Pantera, Dio, Judas Priest, etc. are what I'm really into. That said I DO try to find newer bands or bands I might have missed and every now and then I find some I really enjoy like Demons and Wizards, Hammerfall, and some others I can't think of right now.

Here's a Japanese metal band I learned of not long ago; they've been around since the 80s and they are really talented:
YouTube - ‪Anthem - Insomnia‬‎

I see Prada and MMI live all the time. I actually met all the dudes from Prada and theyre pretty cool. And I hung out with Levi Benton of MMI for like 30 mins after a show, he's probably the nicest dude out there.

Helloween
Gamma Ray
Judas Priest
Ozzy Osbourne (mostly the solo stuff)
Iron Maiden
KISS
Alice Cooper

Twisted Sister
Quiet Riot
Nazareth
Lordi
The Who
UFO

The list could go on and on but i'll just stop here

 

[Pigusmaximus]

Massive Sepultura fan myself, i love everything by them!!

 

[KonaZXIII]

I was in High School in the mid/late 80s.

Most of my friends/peers used to make fun of me because I was always jamming Metallica in my (cassette) Walkman. They'd walk around me sometimes mocking a head-bang/mosh pit and singing "Battery, battery, battery!"

Later in life, one of those same people came up to me and said, "Hey! Have you heard Metallica's new album- Load? It's awesome!"

By then, of course, Metallica had entered it's darkest days from which (IMO) it will never return- pussies.

Honestly there's nothing wrong with an artist wanting to try something new. Metallica converted to more of a Hard Rock feel starting with The Black Album. I, personally, enjoyed Load and Reload for the style of music they were i.e. not metal. You can shout whatever lame attempts at making you feel superior at me you want for liking those two albums, but it won't change the fact that I could care less and I still listen to those albums.

 

[KonaZXIII]

That's fine. I just can't do both. Metallica's roots are based in metal. That's what they'll always be to me. It's as if some other band made all those foofy albums.

When these guys started suing their own fans they died in my eyes...I have to say Eff 'em.

Well, technically, it was Lars who campaigned that whole Napster thing. He's probably the one member I don't like of Metallica. His drum sound is just terrible now.

 

[KeltikCanuk]

Just sitting around listening to some old school metal on Last.fm. Wondering, how many others here like to throw up the horns and headbang. Share metal stories, fav bands, albums, songs, etc.

To sum, this could be the official heavy metal android thread!

\m/

"Metal: A Headbanger's Journey" and "Global Metal" are both MUST SEE movies for you then...
