Hmm, nice. Metallica owns, and Megadeth is pretty sweet. I'm new to metal though (Started listening to metal about a month ago.) So I still got lots to listen to. Heh.

[Kaiser]

Metallica and Megadeth arn't metal....

[wethepeople]

>_> The definition of Metal has changed a lot. I consider Metallica Metal (At least their older albums like Black or Justice for All) but Megadeth really is an odd one. I can't label them.

[Kaiser]

Well to me Metal are bands like Trivium and Children of Bodom. I think Metallica and Megadeth are more rockish.

[wethepeople]

Yeah, its really up to what the individual considers metal. Personally I have no problem calling them Hard rock or Alt, its the band that matters. Genres are as changeable as the person singing in them. One day Rock could be Beatles, then its Finger eleven or something. Always changes.

[Kaiser]

I agree totally.

[wethepeople]

Plus genre's are getting WAY out of hand. There are like... millions of them. Alt metal, alt rock, speed metal, slow metal, hard rock/soft rock, post rock post grunge, rapcore... MAN, can't they make it simpler? There's more genres then bands out there.

I'm pretty new to it myself, and depends on the person. I've considered Metallica rock, Megadeath/Slipknot metal, but it doesn't really matter to me.

I lol'd when Itunes had evanescence under Metal

[wethepeople]

Evanesence as metal? Now there's a good joke.

[bioakky]

The instruments in Evanescence sound "metal," but Evanescence actually has...you know, a good vocalist.

[smeeth]

I wouldn't go that far.

I'm not too familiar with Trivium a whole lot, but I'd classify CoB as Death Metal myself.

A lot of bands are metal. Technically, Cinderella is metal, but they're hair metal.

Anyways, for WeThePeople, if you're new to Metal, here are a few suggestions.

IRON Maiden
Nightwish
Grim Reaper
Tesla
Dragonforce
Hammerfall
Blind Guardian
Bruce Dickinson
Iced Earth
Epica
Kamelot
Judas Priest
Rebel Meets Rebel
Rob Rock
Helloween
Yngwie Malmsteen (his older stuff - the newer stuff isn't as good in my opinion)
Rhapsody
Dio
Thunderstone
Dokken

A lot of variety for you.

[wethepeople]

Nice, thanks! I'll check those bands out.

^this, sooo this. I love her voice, and if you;ve ever listened to the singer in Lacuna Coil, they sound the same a little


vgmmaster - I knew Iron Maiden would be first on your list

You should hear the former lead singer of Nightwish (in all albums except for the newest - Dark Passion Play). Her voice is really good as well, and while their new lead singer is also good, she's on a completely different level.

And yes, seeing how IRON Maiden was the first metal band I ever listened to, it's only appropriate that they're the first on my list.

[Mr_Cynic]

I'd classify Megadeth under "fucking awesome."  My top five are fairly easy; in order:
1. Dropkick Murphys
2. Battlefield Band (traditional Celtic)
3. Pink Floyd
4. Megadeth
5. Queen

Depends what you consider metal.. Some thing SOAD is, and Skipknot. They'd be my first two with Iron Maiden coming 3rd ;P

And coolness, I'll check them out

[wethepeople]

Slipknot is alright to me. I can't understand one word from them. Though I am fond of the opening to their song Liberate ("Hands in the air.. jump!") etc. All their other songs are just ok to me.

[Kaiser]

My favorite bands would probable be.

1. Iced Earth
2. Megadeth
3. Avenged Sevenfold.
4. No clue

Vermilion, The Nameless, Duality. Classic songs. That whole CD was killer
