| Nik Olaz User Info... | Wow I can't believe someone else has heard of Maudlin of the Well. Kayo Dot is so good too fyi. Also, i've never considered bands like Poison or whatever "heavy metal". They're more of hair rock. I'm pretty sure heavy metal is supposed to be evil... - Fri, 1 Sep 2006 12:41am | ||
| ROSS B AY User Info... | Says who? RATT are/were one of the toughest, hairdest bands ever. - Fri, 1 Sep 2006 4:29am | ||

| The Grand Poo-Bah User Info... | Oh cheese louise how could I forget Pantera, my bad. - Fri, 1 Sep 2006 1:10pm | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | They'd probably be well received with a lot of crowds. Also...maybe Toby Driver could do some solo stuff? Have you heard "In The L...L...Library Loft"? I also wouldn't put this band anywhere near metal, as we're dealing with a group that's "open minded". - Fri, 1 Sep 2006 2:47pm | ||

(Non-Local) Sepultura, (old school) Metallica, Megadeth, Lamb of God, Obituary, Six Feet Under, Lowbrow, Sacriledge B.C., Sacrifice (Soldiers of MISFORTUNE!!!), Nailbomb, etc. - Tue, 5 Sep 2006 12:47pm | ||
| Tyler User Info... | hahahahahaha...wow. anyway on topic, my favourite metal band is that one nobody's heard of.. you know.. they have that logo that looks like it's made of white veins or lightning or something.. you can't really see it though? yeah! that band is rad. also I like saying I listen to 40 different genres which all happen to end with the word metal. and I really like blood and gore and goo and all that other stuff because it fits with my metal image. but fuck that screamo/emo bullshit, even though the true stuff can be way more dissonant and chaotic than metal, because I can't afford to be associated with something people would call me a pussy for! and metalcore sucks, only because it's cool to hate hardcore, right? - Tue, 5 Sep 2006 2:02pm Edited: Tue, 5 Sep 2006 2:08pm | ||
| Tyler User Info... | where the fuck is the flamewar? GOD - Sat, 9 Sep 2006 3:31am | ||
| KnifeGhost User Info... | They can smell the bait, and are too smart to bite. - Sat, 9 Sep 2006 5:58pm | ||
| Sedlec User Info... | Hmm, there's too many good metal bands. Maybe if we narrowed down to genre? Lets try. BLACK METAL: Kvist POWER METAL: Blind Guardian GRIND: Nasum (thats easy listening in my opinion compared to some other grind) DOOM: Saint Vitus DEATH METAL: for not a big death metal fan, thats a hard one. I will post this later. - Mon, 11 Sep 2006 10:24am | ||

| Gabri~hell User Info... | "Do the Melvins cunt." I thought this was some new dance move, and trevorcorey was just rudely demanding someone entertain him. Happily, I now know what he meant. They count. They were pretty fucking incredible last week with Big Business at the Commodore, too. As for this list, Kyuss & Opeth are my contributions. And the Melvins & Big Business. And their new collaborative album coming out in October. Et Cetera.... - Thu, 21 Sep 2006 8:15pm | ||

| Nik Olaz User Info... | Nerd alert: Zippgunn, Coalesce isn't metal. They're hardcore. - Thu, 5 Oct 2006 1:35pm | ||
| Spinvis User Info... | what a know-it-all - Thu, 5 Oct 2006 2:03pm | ||

| Curmudgeon Rocker User Info... | Well just don't go getting any Agoraphopic Nosebleed from that, Sati! For the reason below, I think Stryper may be the "new pug": (from stryper.com) The Stryper Church Tour: Added: Wednesday Dec 29, 2005 We are in the process of organizing a tour that will take place in 2006 and be a first for Stryper, on multiple levels. Stryper will be doing a rare acoustic-style tour of churches across America. Interested in making sure Stryper plays your church? Here's what you do: Go to your music director, youth pastor, pastor, or organizer of concerts in your church and ask if they would be interested in learning more about this very rare Stryper tour. We will be playing churches that can hold at least 750 people. If they would like to learn more about The Stryper Church Tour, please have them email Stryper's manager, Dave at DeepSouthEntertainment.com. /I hope that church across from the Y is into it. /750 people? Aiming high, aren't they? - Sun, 8 Oct 2006 2:10pm Edited: Sun, 8 Oct 2006 2:25pm | ||
| jay brown User Info... | 99% of what people call hardcore nowadays is just metal anyways. It's just getting lumped into one of the four billion sub-genres. - Mon, 9 Oct 2006 8:25am | ||
| ROSS B AY User Info... | That's true. I can't keep up with the labels anymore, so fuck it. - Mon, 9 Oct 2006 8:26am | ||
| Sati User Info... | The New Pug! Curmudgeon I love you! I'd totally pay to see Stryper at a church, would you??? That'd be awesome. To Hell with the Devil!!! And if they threw out bibles I'd seriously take out other people to git one. Hell.. I mean heck, I'd even grab a couple friends and try to get backstage! Oh oh oh, pick me! OMG (oops), I'm excited.. that'd be such a killer time. I'm giddy already.. anyone with me? STRYYYYPER!!! - Mon, 9 Oct 2006 5:37pm | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | NO COMPROMISE!!!! - Tue, 10 Oct 2006 4:44pm | ||
| T. Depression User Info... | I don't listen to alot of metal anymore, but when I pull some out, it's this stuff: Kreator - (up to and including "Coma Of Souls") Sacrifice Autopsy - (first LP and "Retribution For The Dead") Slayer - (everything before but NOT including "Reign In Blood") Death - first 3 Lp's Morgoth - First Lp and Ep Death Angel - first 3 Lp's Testament - The Legacy - Wed, 11 Oct 2006 7:45am | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | NOT including Reign in Blood? Sir, the hall has asked you to leave. - Wed, 11 Oct 2006 6:22pm | ||
| T. Depression User Info... | I think Reign In Blood" is the most overated album they ever did...boring as shit (but still pretty goood compared to the absolute shit that followed). Show No Mercy and Hell Awaits are absolutely killer though. - Thu, 12 Oct 2006 8:28am | ||
| Timo User Info... | IRON MAIDEN (I know certain people don't consider them metal any more, but most of these people are mallgoth/nu-metal kids and therefore they don't have valid opinions and are not considered people) Some of my personal favorites that are not necessarly classics: Blind Guardian ЭПИДЕМИЯ - (Russian Power Metal) Galneryus - (Japan) Rhapsody Sonata Arctica I only wish that power metal contained more evil (I'm working on it... mighty dragons raping entire kingdoms and ejaculating on crouds of wounded peasents with acidic phallic discharges). - Fri, 13 Oct 2006 9:02pm Edited: Fri, 13 Oct 2006 9:02pm | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | I've never heard someone refer to Iron Maiden as "not metal". Ever. - Sat, 14 Oct 2006 12:59am | ||
| Timo User Info... | Good, that's the way it should be. - Sat, 14 Oct 2006 1:46am Edited: Sat, 14 Oct 2006 1:46am | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | Maiden are metal, but they also bore me. That Bruce kid needs to put a sock in it and that Harris player guy should use an E string once in a while. Hey Timo. Are you related to that other Timo...Timo Tissari? That guy got harrassed big time and ended up with nothing but a divorce and a debt. - Sat, 14 Oct 2006 2:33am | ||
| Timo User Info... | I know no Timo Tissari, and my last name is not Finnish as my father is from Nova Scotia. Also, what do you mean by harrassed... abused by his wife? - Mon, 30 Oct 2006 8:41am | ||

| mindlesssexmagik User Info... | 1. Pantera 2. Unearth 3. Fear Factory 4. Shadows Fall 5. Dry Kill Logic 6. Through the Eyes of The Dead 7. LAMB OF GOD! 8. Meshuggah i would put Deftones, Korn and all that crapp but thats not considered metal anymore, but i'll probably get ragged on anyways just for my list anyways....Atleast i dont like DragonForce.. i might aswell go and listen to QueensRyche or dream theatre...and the only thing that really bugs me about those bands at the friggin insane keyboards and the singers. I'll bag myself now cuz i'll get it later - Tue, 31 Oct 2006 3:11pm Edited: Tue, 31 Oct 2006 3:19pm | ||

| Goddess User Info... |  And Sati, I'd totally take you on in a bible-grabbing contest, but only if I can hurl them at people's heads afterwards. Maybe I'd even bid on a show. Brings new meaning to GODdess Productions. Your post made me laugh out loud! Oh lordy lordy girl you surprise me! - Sat, 4 Nov 2006 4:12pm | ||
| Sati User Info... | I don't really have anything against Christians though. I just think it'd be fun to smack out other people for bibles Though I'd totally wanna get backstage with my friends, to find out how big....................... their love for jesus is. :) - Sat, 4 Nov 2006 4:31pm Edited: Sat, 4 Nov 2006 4:33pm | ||
| Curmudgeon Rocker User Info... | I take it, Sati, you mean "how big STRYPER's love for jesus is." Mine is already HUGE for'im. AND for the band. /Paul from Peruke, btw, has a wooden, varnished Stryper clock, with the band posing on it. Don't even try giving an offer - this man does not have a price. - Sun, 5 Nov 2006 5:51pm Edited: Sun, 5 Nov 2006 6:01pm | ||

| Mass Hypnosis User Info... | I would say that Mercyful Fate is more classic BM, simply because it was the NewWaveOfBRITISHHeavyMetal... Venom gets to be in both. :) My faves? Venom, Slayer, Morbid Angel, Anacrusis, Sacrifice, First 4 Metallica, Anthrax, Testament, Destruction, Kreator, Sodom, Early Grave Digger, Napalm Death, Vio-lence, Overkill, Fates Warning, Annihilator, Razor, Nasum, At The Gates, Entombed, Dismember, Pungent Stench, Repulsion, Cannibal Corpse, Death, Flotsam & Jetsam, Kataklysm, Voivod, Exciter, Maiden, Priest, Meatlocker Seven, Eidolon, Metal Church, The Haunted, Brutal Truth, Crumbsuckers, Scatterbrain, Celtic Frost, Early Helloween, Early Sepultura (pre-roots), Carcass, Exodus, Dark Funeral, Mayhem, Strapping Young Lad... I could list 100 more I'm sure... - Sat, 25 Nov 2006 1:55pm | ||

| Owen Larwood User Info... | Definetly At The Gates. and Bodom. Bodom kicks ass - Mon, 4 Dec 2006 8:59am | ||
| Nothingface User Info... | Mass Hypnosis pretty much has it covered. Sounds like you and I grew up listening to the exact same things. Oh and Mr and Mrs Hell. The Melvins are NOT a metal band. I dont think that there is actually a genre for that low of quality of sound and noise! - Mon, 4 Dec 2006 12:04pm | ||
| metalqueen User Info... | Obituary and Malevolent Creation - Mon, 4 Dec 2006 3:12pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | Bram, perhaps you have never heard The Bit, or Honeybucket, or The Bloated Pope, or most of their new album or countless other excellent heavy songs from them? Their noisy, low-fi material is a bore, I agree. - Mon, 4 Dec 2006 7:19pm | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | Thats why I asked if they cunted. - Mon, 4 Dec 2006 7:39pm | ||
| MassHypnosis User Info... | no, the melvins are not metal... but damn honeybucket just rocks - Tue, 5 Dec 2006 8:26pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | I gotta ask why this is thought to be true. Their metallic material is as metal as a lot of the bands on here. Of course not all their material is heavy, riff oriented music but much of it is as crushing as early Venom and Black Sabbath as well as some material by many of the bands listed on here. Besides elitism, stubborness and The Melvins themselves claiming to not have a metal bone in their bodies, gimme some reasons or even one reason why they aren't considered metal by some of you? Kent, man. Honey bucket is as heavy as a third of the bands you have on your list. Why does it only rock? I am dying to know. - Tue, 5 Dec 2006 9:40pm | ||
| Mass Hypnosis User Info... | it's their association with those dinks from nirvana... and it only rocks because I said so. heh. - Wed, 6 Dec 2006 6:11pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | Aah. Same reason as Bram. Flimsy. - Wed, 6 Dec 2006 6:16pm | ||
| Mass hypnosis User Info... | pfft... flimsy nothin. they metal bash far too much. I can appreciate them, but jeez... the whole "you're metal so you're stoopid" thing... meh - Thu, 7 Dec 2006 6:03am | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | There is nothing more metal than calling metalheads stupid. - Thu, 7 Dec 2006 5:51pm | ||
| Mass Hypnosis User Info... | Now you're just being stupid... :) - Thu, 7 Dec 2006 8:00pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | That's so metal. You must be into the Melvins. - Thu, 7 Dec 2006 9:36pm | ||
| dumpstermesh User Info... | Ouch!! I like the Melvins!!! But if I had to pick a favorite metal band it would have to be Sepultura. I still live for Beneath the Remains. If we're talking Death Metal it's gotta be Carcass. - Fri, 8 Dec 2006 1:33am | ||
