Metal

[Kris P Lettus]

I have just recently gotten into Mastodon but really other than that most of my likes come from "back in the day"..

Pantera
Alice in Chains
Sabbath
(old) Metallica
Soundgarden
Rage
Slayer
Body Count
Down
Deathklok
GWAR

ETC

So are there any newer metal band I am missing out on?? I like some of Cage the Elephants heavier stuff too..

[Sixx]

If you like AC/DC (which I have no idea if you do), you should check out Airbourne.

[Kris P Lettus]

Never really been a big AC/DC fan.. I respect them as a musical act and they have some timeless songs but they are not near the top of my list..

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

If you have pair of balls you will like the following bands:

Converge
Pig Destroyer
Meshuggah

[The Destroyer]

Based on the stuff already listed I'd wager he'll hate all three of them.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Then is "man card" is permanently rescinded.

[The Condor]

How is Danzig not on your list? One of the best of metal's golden era.

[The Condor]

Sabaton is fantastic, and not the growling incoherent type of metal. Check them out, they will get your blood pumping. Also, if you want to have fun with your metal, check out Powerglove. They do metal versions of 80's and 90's nintendo games and even do a sweet rendition of the Power Rangers theme. Saw both live and they were awesome. Another band, if you're into the newer brand of American metal, is Skeletonwitch. They opened for GWAR once when I saw them and I liked these guys enough to see them opening for Danzig a few months later.

[drave]

Machine Head is always good.

If you like Dethklok, you should check out Brendon Small's solo album, Galaktikon. It's kinda like Dethklok - growling.

[drave]

And FUCKING SLAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEERRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

[Skippord]

Fermenting Trauma Ft. Mike O' Hara by Curb Stomp Disseverment

[FakeLaser]

yeah, lots of good stuff in here http://tpww.net/forums/showthread.php?t=116669

[dronepool]

Type O Negative
Nevermore
Danzig

Try those out.

[Kris P Lettus]

I like Danzig but hate Glen Danzig as a person.. Misfits are aiight too..

[The Condor]

Danzig is an angry midget, but essentially thats the essensce of his greatness. His Napoleon complex(and philiosophy) make for great music.

[Kris P Lettus]

loved when that fat bald guy ko'ed him

[dronepool]

Yeah, I don't really care for the person, don't keep up with news.. ect but I like the Misfits and really like the first 3 or 4 Danzig albums.

[Fignuts]

I like Motorhead.

[The Condor]

Yeah, I don't really care for the person, don't keep up with news.. ect but I like the Misfits and really like the first 3 or 4 Danzig albums.

After Chuck Biscuits and Johnny Christ left Danzig he went through a very crappy NiN phase. He's got some of the old magic back with the last 1-2 albums but it's just not nearly as good. Also, the video of him getting KO'ed is hilarious due to the fact that a 5'4" man in his mid-50's acts like such a badass.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

We seem to have bunch of pussies in this thread.

Metal would be better if they actually sang instead of just screaming into the mic incoherently

[The Destroyer]

Except for all those metal bands with singers who actually do sing, you mean?

[Kris P Lettus]

What does that even mean??

[Rammsteinmad]

I don't like PrettyCool's new "your mom" gimmick. He should go back to being a whiney bitch.

[Rammsteinmad]

However, I agree with his statement about metal. Meshuggah are great musicians, but generally as a band I find them to be so overated.

[Rammsteinmad]

I, however, have recently stepped away from my Progressive/Power/Symphonic/Goth metal/rock background, and am really digging Stuck Mojo at the moment.

[Dragon BSP]

I love metal.

Lately I've been into the slower doom stuff like Electric Wizard. Sunn O))) is pretty awesome too.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Electric Wizard's Dopethrone album is a fuckin' epic album. Love that shit.

[The Destroyer]

Could never get into Sunn0))) at all, far too droney for my tastes.

You are focusing on a sub-genre. Heavy Metal singers are among the best around.

- Judas Priest: Luciano Pavarotti was known to praise Judas Priest vocalist Rob Halford for Rob's abilities.
- Scorpions: Klaus Meine is in his 60's, can still sing as well as he did 30 years ago.
- Accept
- Saxon
- Dio: at the time of his death (around 65 years old) the man could still sing like he did 30 years ago.
- Black Sabbath's various singers
- Queensryche
- Iron Maiden

[The Condor]

Zombie is great, saw him live 2 years ago and he totally surprised me with how off the charts his set was.

[drave]

I think Rob Zombie's best work was with White Zombie. Not that his solo act is bad or anything, I just prefer the sound with White Zombie instead.

Disturbed has come a long way. They used to be awful live when they first hit it big, but the band as a whole is pretty damn good. I own all their albums except their latest release.

Drowning Pool, for me, was a one hit wonder. Bodies was great and the rest of their songs are pretty forgettable.

[Heisenberg]

Got to bask in the glory that is Dethklok last year on December 2nd in Austin, Texas.

One of the bands that played that night was All That Remains. They are worth a mention.

Lamb of God is also worthy of a listen or two.

[The Condor]

Saw Lamb of God about 5 years ago and was pumped but they were absolutely wretched. Same thing happened with Mastodon opening for Dragonforce and Slayer. Just disappointing for me because I was looking for a good show and they shit the bed.

Damn, I'm sorry to hear about that. Some bands that I've seen in concert recently that sounded great live were Trivium, Killswitch Engage, Dethklok(best), and Slayer.

I also had to sit through bands that were talked up by surrounding individuals in attendance and after the sets I would question their sanity and taste in music.

I'm going to the Mayhem Festival this year for the sole reason of seeing him for the first time. They are slow on confirming all of the bands, but he will suffice.

haven't had a chance to see the greatness of Dethklok yet. BTW love the avatar. Breaking Bad should have a Dethklok theme for the next season :yes:
Saw Lamb of God open for Metallica 3 years ago and was blown away. They are my 3rd fav band, even their stuff from "Burn The Priest" days is awesome.

Shitty man. I saw Mastodon, Killswitch, Sevendust AND Slayer at one of the many Jagermeister shows years back. All were solid, especially Killswitch. I think Mastodon's music, as great as it is, just doesn't translate well live. With some tuning though and less distortion, it could work.

Best band I have ever seen live, show wise, was Rammstein. They tore the fucking roof off.

[The Condor]

Best show I've seen has been Iron Maiden, followed by Metallica, GWAR and Danzig. A lot of the old guys are still able to bring it and I can only hope the new generation is able to do the same in the coming years.

I've seen Mastodon twice, thought they were pretty good both times. Also seen Rammstein twice and they are absolutely bloody fantastic. :y:

[Malfeitor]

Municipal Waste is awesome. If you are into 80's thrash (Slayer, Anthrax, Metallica etc.) with a modern twist then you should be into them. Check out S.O.D. as well, if you haven't heard them already.

Not really "metal" but I've been listening to alot of the Black Keys..

[Heisenberg]

anything to note from them? always lookin' for new music to put in the ol' database

[Kris P Lettus]

Well I absolutely adore "Baddest Man Alive" w/ RZA but I generally listen to them on pandora, so nothing particular..

[PrettyCool]

Korn is still the best metal band

[Shisen Kopf]

Korn is still the best metal band

Their best CD was "on the kob"

Had a few good songs on it, if you have an eclectic ear :)

I enjoy Ice Cube too, and to hear them do a couple songs together was great.

Ice Cube had Korn on his War & Peace Album too, called "Fuck Dyin'" another good one.


the only things to please my earholes as of late consists of Lamb of God, Dethklok, Machine Head, Mastodon and of course Pantera.

I saw Machine Head perform, they have a rabid fan base, they were one of the openers back in December for the Dethklok show.

War & Peace is a fuckin' good Ice Cube album.

Drag The Waters has to be put in every playlist I have, or else I'm not doing my job in keeping Pantera alive.

I'm a huge fanboy of 90's rap/rock.. Specially the earlier shit like Public Enemy and Anthrax or Onyx and Biohazard..

Loud Rocks and the Judgement Night Soundtrack are both MUST HAVES for anyone who digs that type of music..

Everybody Loves Sabbath.

Everyone should love the Ozzy and Dio eras of Sabbath, anyway.

[Kris P Lettus]

as they should

[Kris P Lettus]

Ozzy Sabbath>Dio Sabbath

Dio solo>Dio Sabbath

Ozzy solo>Dio solo

:(

[The Destroyer]

I would honestly disagree. I prefer the Dio fronted Sabbath stuff to either his own or Ozzy's solo stuff.

[Kris P Lettus]

Dio Sabbath is good but I loved the campiness of Dio solo..

I am a huge Ozzy mark..

FTL has a couple really cool tracks IMO. - It's On, Dead Bodies Everywhere, BBK, Pretty, Seed..

A friend of mine mentioned this but I don't follow LoG so I'm not sure what the deal is.

[drave]

He was accused of manslaughter after pushing a fan off stage. When the dude went down he cracked his head on the concrete and "got himself perished" (good quote there, you know which movie?)

He deserves a TON of respect for going through and dealing with the trial, whereas most people in his situation would have sent some super lawyers to do it for them.

uber metal of him to murder a fan at a show though

Reminds me of the Metalocalypse episode where they had a health inspector check out Mordhaus. The part that sticks out to me the most is when they were in the lower sections and it went osmething like:

Inspector: You LITERALLY have one of your employees dissolving into your drain, is that metal too?


Nathan Explosion: "Yea, that's pretty metal" followed by consensus from the rest of the band.

Funny shit.

That was my entrance music when I did wrestle, a few years ago. :y:

[ron the dial]

why the fuck didn't somebody tell me about ulver a long time ago?

[The Destroyer]

Which era of Ulver though? They're pretty all over the place musically, depending which album you're listening to.

Been a fan of theirs for years.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I've got some time to kill. Gonna play my favourite game "Search for related artists of metal bands on spotify and laugh at the stupid names".

Gonna use "Ulver" as a starting point.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Okay, there wasn't much here, a few Norwegian names and a few standard metal bands. Was quite disappointed until the very last band... "Crippled Black Phoenix"

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Bit disappointed in this game overall so far. Went with "And So I Watch You From Afar". Not much from there though, will have to pick a band randomly to take this further.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Okay I started heading into indie territory. Game over.

Went back though and managed to hook myself up with "Deathspell Omega", got a good feeling on this route.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

From there "Secrets of the Moon" which then led me to a brilliant "Totalselfhatred" and then into "Diabolical Masquerade"

[Corporate CockSnogger]

"Daylight Dies" and "Novembers Doom" sound like cheery fellows.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Okay, really getting somewhere now, not sure which route to take. I'm on the band "Hate", simple but effective. From there I could go with "Torture Killer", "Defleshed", "Necrophobic", "Necrophagia", "Septic Flesh" or "Goatwhore"

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Oh actually "Torture Division". Are they a really aggressive Joy Divison tribute act?

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Go listen to some Pig Destroyer. That will put some hair on mardy scouse chest.

[CSL]

you should look for song names from bands like Prostitute Disfigurement, Fucksaw, Cock and Ball Torture etc ;)

[CSL]

for example, currently listening to "When Girls Learn To Piss On Command" by Cock and Ball Torture. It sounds like somebody rhythmically sucking the last bits of the milkshake from the Maccies cup, burping and a drain emptying. Shit is hilarious

[Corporate CockSnogger]

@ both of you, I tried listening to Pig Destroyer when you mentioned them in 100,000 replies and it felt like I was being injected with the plague. I do occasionally listen to the random bands as well just to see what disgusting things go on in the minds of metalheads. Not really in the mood for it now though.

[CSL]

pffft well fine, Rotting Away Is Better Than Being Gay and Kamikazee Incest will still be there tomorrow

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Can't for the life of me remember what those bands were called that I was listening to the other week. I chronicled it in 100k replies but I can't be arsed searching for them.

[Triple Naitch]

Should look up some Anal Cunt tracks as a start.

[ron the dial]

Which era of Ulver though? They're pretty all over the place musically, depending which album you're listening to.

Been a fan of theirs for years.
the early black metal stuff. haven't moved into other stuff yet. looking forward to it.

[ron the dial]

their first album specifically. love the clean vocals and acoustic guitar mixed into the black metal.

[The Destroyer]

Going to get a lot more diverse from there. :y:

And don't be a fool Iggy, Crippled Black Phoenix aren't a metal band, so they don't count.

[The Destroyer]

for example, currently listening to "When Girls Learn To Piss On Command" by Cock and Ball Torture. It sounds like somebody rhythmically sucking the last bits of the milkshake from the Maccies cup, burping and a drain emptying. Shit is hilarious
Amazing, the vocals really do sound exactly like that.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Should look up some Anal Cunt tracks as a start.

This sounds right up my street. Gonna give these a listen now, starting with the track "Hitler was a sensitive man"

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Well, 50 seconds later and that song's over. Time for the next track "I Just Saw The Gayest Guy On Earth"

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Some quite beautiful harmonies on that track, it must be said.

[The Destroyer]

I've never actually heard Anal Cunt, oddly. Not really in any rush to either.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

They were shite.

[CSL]

I just saw the gayest guy on earth
I just saw the gayest guy on earth

Besides Rob Zombie, the Mayhem Festival looks tainted. Not a fan of Five Finger Death Punch.

[Asmo]

Started watching the Metal Evolution series by Sam Dunn. Anyone seen it in entirety?

[The Condor]

For the first time in a few years, probably will not be attending Mayhem. 5 Finger Death Punch was ok a few years back but they have Disturbed syndrome: you've seen them once and there is no need to see them again.

[Heisenberg]

I left a concert they headlined after they came on and did 2 songs, wasn't into them.

Leaning on a way to just see Zombie at Mayhem, my friend is forcing me into going. He was under the impression though of Slayer being there, and I informed him that he was looking at another lineup from the past.

[The Condor]

The year Slayer played was headlined by, I think Korn. Left after Slayer who I also had the privilege of seeing at the Big 4 Yankees Stadium show with Anthrax, Megadeth and 'Tallica. Damn they were awesome.

[Heisenberg]

Slayer main staged in 2009 with Manson for Mayhem. It was brutal and everything I imagined it would be.

When I saw Dethklok last December, I witnessed some awesome shit there too. Guy coming out of the pile all fucked up, people carrying him to get patched up. He seemed to be more sorry than the ppl that moshed him rough.

[Asmo]

Been on an Iron Maiden binge since the last week. Fuck. I love this band. Allow me to indulge. Getting a tad nostalgic.

"Alright kids, let me tell you about the time i had dinner with Iron Maiden..."

I started listening to metal via Metallica and Megadeth, but the band that really got me in to the genre was Iron Maiden. Brave New World to be precise, and everything off The Best Of The Beast. The guys who got me in to metal gave me access to a VCD of Rock In Rio, and that was my first taste of what a Maiden gig was like. I wanted in. This was around 2003, i think.

I gave up my first chance to catch the band live when they played Bangalore in 2007. My parents didn’t let me travel to another city to watch them, and in retaliation, i locked myself in my room for a day playing Maiden tunes on the guitar, and whining. Like any teenage situation that doesn’t work for you, this was the end of my world.

Anyways, i got out of the slump and continued the Maiden worship. Cue September 2007: Maiden confirm another gig in India in Feb 2008, and this time, they play the city i live in, Bombay. So while that news had me ecstatic and bouncing around like the energizer bunny, it got me to think of a way to meet the band.

I joined a local newspaper as a freelance music correspondent the very next day, and worked hard enough to get the editor to grant me complete freedom on what i wrote about. The purpose – meet Adrian Smith and Steve Harris. But being a small local paper, labels and concert organisers rarely sent out material or invites to us. As the day of the concert came closer, i tried all that i could to setup an interview with the band, but to no avail. Disappointment was an understatement.

The band would play Bombay on Feb 1, and word got around that they would arrive two days earlier. I missed their arrival, but got wind of a ‘press conference’ the same evening. After haggling with the PR team to recognize me as ‘legit’, and forcing the editor to give me a press id (which was only meant for employees), i managed to smuggle inside the small conference room at the Marriot.

All my “journalistic behaviour” was thrown out of the window as soon as the six walked in two hours later. The first thing i did was pull out the CDs i bought along and a marker, while the other grizzled reporters took out notepads and pens. The next hour and a half went by in a blur. Not only did i get the chance to meet, get pictures and autographs with all of them (except Dave, who disappeared as soon as the conference ended), i also interviewed Adrian, dined with Steve and Janick, and to round it all of, met Sam Dunn as well.

As regards the concert, it was everything that i’d hoped for and more. I battled my way to the second row, right in front of Adrian, and screamed and shouted till i lost my voice. Maiden remains one of the best live acts i’ve ever seen, and they didn’t disappoint that night.

TL;DR: Hatched a plan to meet Maiden by gaining media credentials. It worked.

To move this on, which band got you in to metal? And what was it like when you first saw them live? Have you met any of the band members?

[Heisenberg]

Haven't met or saw Maiden live, but I was raised around them. I have different genres I listen to, but Metal is my overall choice.

Got into Slayer in high school, and didn't see them til 2009. I felt like my face was melted off, nothing felt short. I want to drink Jager with Kerry King sometime, probably won't get to, but I can dream.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Going to see Death Plague Vermin Corpse Rape tonight. Should be a great show.

[Heisenberg]

Some kind of demon magic happening, but they are coming to Austin, TX in September. I might have to take in the greatness that is Iron Maiden.

[The Condor]

Please, Heisenberg, see Maiden. Awesome show, they are fantastic

This is the lineup I had when I went to see Dethklok

Thankfully, i got to see Slayer in October last year when they came down to India with Dave Lombardo behind the kit. Surprisingly, they didn't draw a lot of crowd here - i'd peg it to around 2000 tops. Well, whoever missed the gig missed THE tightest METAL show that India's ever been witness to.

Everything was spot on. Slayer played for a good two hours. With just ONE three minute intermission - even then, Araya and Lombardo didn't leave the stage, instead choosing to interact with the audience. Played most of the big singles. And, also played "Hell Awaits", which was the first Slayer song i'd ever heard. So that was special for me.

Also managed to get Araya's plectrum. :cool:

[The Condor]

Choosing between Maiden and Slayer is like choosing between Ditka + God.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Going to see Pigeon Corpse Vaginal Discharge this weekend. Should be a killer. Hope they play most of the "Skullfuck your crippled nephew" album, although I wouldn't be surprised to see a few tracks off of "Ice Cream Van From Hell" thrown into the set.

[Heisenberg]

lol, you are definitely too metal for your own good

Lord of the Rings actor Christopher Lee will release a heavy metal album to mark his 91st birthday.

[Kris P Lettus]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

I look forward to it, not big into Lord of the Rings at all, but wondering how he will pull this off.

[Fignuts]

Oh god, that's what he looks like in real life?

He looks like Gollum.

Sabaton is one of my favorites currently, not the typical metal band.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I went for an hour and 30-min walk whilst listening to Converge's No Heroes album, and then, when I got home, I listened to Coalesce's Ox.

I don't like 5 finger death punch all that much.

just got my Mayhem ticket ordered, 20 bucks for Metal of Honor veteran discount, plus I have to visit the Metal of Honor tent for some other offers and shit, sounds good to me. Hopefully some free Jager at the Jager tent/stage too. That'd be better than paying out the ass for some

Nice, I shoulda joined the army. Get to kill Terrorists and get cheap concert tix? Fuckin A!

Five Finger Death Punch can eat a large phallus

and the first thing I thought of when I saw King Diamond were playing Bloodstock was of Skippordeth. The second was "don't really care about seeing except for that Grandma song" :(

Slayer puts on a great live show, the first time I wasn't upset about neck pain the next day, save your neck and head for them.

Saw Slayer twice and was unable to turn my head the next day both times. Awesome live show

[dronepool]

I saw Slayer twice when Marilyn Manson toured with them, they put on a great show and Kerry King became buddies with MM.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Listening to Cult of Luna's Salvation album, for the first time; first time listening to the band as well. They kind of remind me of Isis and Neurosis.

Whilst I am here, are the bands Rwake and Inter Arma worth checking out?

[The Destroyer]

Cult of Luna aren't bad and you're not far off with the comparisons. Crossing Over on that album is lovely.

Inter Arma I've never heard of but the one Rwake album I can remember (If You Walk Before You Crawl, You Crawl Before You Die) was decent enough.

[Heisenberg]

need to integrate new death metal into my work/commute
