ehh? since when have the Floyd been metal? :smile:

gotta start with the oldschool stuff i guess .... Slayer, Sepultura, Pantera, Metallica. Slayer especially

Also i dont mind a bit of Shihad, Sunk Loto, Superheist

Does hair metal count!?!? I dont mind a bit of Def Lep, Guns n Roses and even a bit of Motley Crue

Fear Factory, Biohazard, Ministry ...

Death metal? Hard to go past Cannibal Corpse, Carcass, Obituary

Black metal ... Diabolical Masquerade, Opeth, Nagflar (as u can tell i prefer black metal with more melodic aspects - i love it when it drops off to accoustic guitar for example before blasting back with powerchords), Satyricon, Kreator

A couple of Aussie metal acts i like include Blood Duster, DamageD, Armoured Angel, Abramelin and Alchemist

i play Fender Stratocaster and Ibanez RG 2550 Prestige and use Double Bass Mania 2 for all my metal drum loops *drool* 8)

You must be old then. grin

Sabbath and Venom and all that are too old to be considered oldschool now, they get elevated to 'pioneer' status now ;)

Oh man. I stopped listening to metal in my teens after I discovered groups like Sonic Youth and now I mostly stick to post rock - bands like Godspeed You Black Emeror. :rasta:

but...

My all time favourite metal band was Nuclear Assault. They made one of the greatest thrash/speed metal songs of all time, Brainwashed. Killer stuff.
 
Best metal band ever? Spinal Tap

oh yea motorhead, "who would win in a fight, Lemmie or god" "ummm Lemmie" " trick question, Lemmie is god" that ****ing growth on his cheek is even bigger in person that it is in any picture i've seen, but they were the orginal speed metal, and really a precursor to punk

Pink Floyd and Neil Young hardly count as metal, great music though.

Favourite metal bands for me right now, probably Electric Wizard, Darkthrone, Scepticism. Gloomy stuff for gloomy season.

edit: Oh yeah, some one mentioned CARCASS... They are doing reunion gig next summer, can't wait. Really hope they play some old grind stuff from Reek of the Putrefaction and Symphonies of Sickness, though they probably won't.

Ruosk,

That was me motherfo :p

The guitarwork of Carcass is exceptional and very unique as you know - as soon as you hear one riff you know it's Carcass ... :)
Guitarist Michael Amott is currently with Arch Enemy (who've got female Angela Gossow on death vocals!), i haven't heard much of them yet but I love his guitarwork in 'We Will Rise'
