I thought CG started this thread. I was going to say "What, are we going to post about steel?"

Then I saw it was you, so I figured it out. Carry on lol

Oops. Wrong kind of metal.

I guess I get my music mixed up. Do I like metal if I love AC/DC, Winger, Van Halen, The Scorpions, KISS, Queen and Led Zeppelin? I'm not sure if that's metal, heavy metal, or hard rock. I'm just asking because I wanna make sure I'm posting the right songs.

Xant, you rock for starting this thread! :)

All I have to say, is Lemmy:

Metallica. My all-time favorite band.

I would put heavy metal as a subgenre of metal along with the others I listed above.

This is just my opinion, but AC/DC - Hard Rock. No bueno for this thread.
Winger, Van Halen and KISS - Glam Metal. Awesome.
The Scorpions, Queen, Led Zepplin - Arena Rock. No bueno, for this thread, but still awesome.

Also the band with the 2nd place for my 2010 AOTY that does my state proud: Within the Ruins - Victory

I'm partial to new metal (nu metal?). Modern metal with a lot of grunge influence is more my style (you can tell I'm a child of the 90's), but I'm not a major fan of grunge rock music alone (Nirvana, Pearl Jam). Don't get me wrong, I love everything Metallica, but I've embraced the albums from the Black album to the present, and most "metal heads" haven't.

Some of my favorite modern mainstream metal:

System of a Down:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fd9oh...=TLVPCq0GHbWsk (metal + symphony orchestra = love)

You should check out some symphonic metal bands. Some of them are over the top cheesy, but with the right songs and arrangements, it's one of my favorite genres.

Apocalyptica
Dark Moor
Dragonland
Epica
Fairyland
Kamelot
Luca Turilli
Nightwish
Rhapsody of Fire
ReinXeed
Sonata Arctica
Versailles -Philharmonic Quintet-
Wintersun
Within Temptation
X Japan

I didn't think they counted, but I love both of these, too.

Agreed.

Is RHCP metal? I was never quite sure how to categorize them.

I do like Apocalyptica. Never heard of the others, but will look around for them.

Alternative metal, in my book.

That and/or funk metal. Same goes for RATM.

How could I forget how much I love me some Rage?

I would consider them Alterna-funk. I never got into metal except for a brief minute in HS when I bought this Type O Negative single.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BO9aD...eature=channel

When you start making subgenres of a subgenre of a subgenre I get all confused...as I am now. Its all rock & roll to me, or as they say, the devil's music.

Here's my List of some real serious metal: old and new
Metallica
Megadeth
Killswitch Engage
Arch Enemy
Gojira
Demon Hunter
Otep
Walls of Jericho
Suffocation
Hatebreed
Kataklysm
Static X
Lamb of God
In This Moment
Kittie
Lacuna Coil
Anthrax
Slayer
Living Colour
Pantera
Avenged Sevenfold

I get it all confused, too. It's just music to me. I wouldn't call it "the devil's" music, though, because some of the devil's people/minions listen to Christian music, too.

God is first in my life but....
I can still rock to this :cool::p

Or you know, Christians can play and write metal.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...an_metal_bands

One of my favorite acts, August Burns Red, is Christian.

If you guys want a laugh, check out the differences between black metal and white/unblack metal.

My current list of favorite bands:

Abigail Williams (Symphonic Black)
Act as One (Thrash/Pop Punk)
After the Burial (Technical Metalcore)
The Agonist (Melodic Death)
As I Lay Dying (Metalcore)
At the Throne of Judgement (Deathcore)
August Burns Red (Metalcore)
Between the Buried and Me (Progressive Metalcore)
Brother von Doom (Metalcore/Thrash)
By Blood and Iron (Deathcore)
Conducting from the Grave (Melodic Deathcore)
Dark Moor (Symphonic Power)
Dragonforce (No, really) (Speed/Power)
Equilibrium (Blackened Folk)
The Faceless (Technical Deathcore)
Fleshgod Apocalypse (Technical Death Metal)
I Killed the Prom Queen (Deathcore)
Sea of Treachery (Deathcore)
van Canto (A Cappella/Power)
Wintersun (Blackened Folk/Melodic Death)
Within the Ruins (Melodic Deathcore)

I like As I lay Dying. I heard some of their songs on itunes' radio. I got Dragonforce's CD. it's pretty cool.

AILD's new album blows everything they've done out of the water. As far as Dragonforce is concerned they're very predictable, write music that has to be edited in the studio, and solo in the exact same key, but enjoyable if you turn your brain off. Their first two albums are much better than their last two.

Oh man After the Burial's new album is so gooooooood.

http://i56.tinypic.com/14kk7m1.gif

I might have to buy AILD's lastest CD.

^ Do it. It feels like their earlier albums showed potential, but this new one they actually put their heads down and wrote some great stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLd6h5td8G4

Huge bump, but here is my list for a Best Of 2010

After the Burial - In Dreams
Blind Guardian - At the Edge of Time
Conducting From the Grave - Revenants
Equilibrium - Rekreatur
Galneryus - Resurrection
Mutiny Within - s/t
Pathfinder - Beyond the Space, Beyond the Time
Periphery - s/t
Versailles ~Philharmonic Quintet~ - Jubilee
Within the Ruins - Invade
Wrath and Rapture - s/t

^^

Need some new sXe band recommendations. Putting together a playlist for a youngin' who is new to edge. Have to learn them right.

My fave edge and/or positive hardcore

Have Heart, Casey Jones, Your Demise, Stick to Your Guns, Backbreaker, Evergreen Terrace, Comeback Kid, Close Your Eyes, Good Clean Fun, Cockpunch!, From the Pawn, Liferuiner, Bane, Cruel Hand, In My Eyes, and Champion

There are of course the classics like Minor Threat, SSD, DYS, Slapshot, Black My Heart, Gorilla Biscuits, and Earth Crisis.

Out of the first list Liferuiner and Cockpunch! are more hate-edge, but the guys in Cockpunch! don't take things too seriously
