This is a collection of all that is Metal, may favorites and maybe some of yours, this is the gamut of what i belive to be the best there is out there in the sounds that i call HOME, this is what i love and what i need to get me through the day.. this is:
M E T AL
In Flames - My Sweet Shadow
God Forbid - The End Of The World
Lamb of God - Walk with me in HELL
Trivium-Ember to Inferno
Arch Enemy - My Apocalypse
Mnemic - Deathbox
As I Lay Dying - Confined
Children of Bodom - Everytime I Die
SHADOWS FALL - In Effigy
lastly its not Metal But.... ITS PURE ASSKICKING GOODNESS!
Besides the point is to show all the forms of Metal from Speed, Melodic, thrash.. etc.. i have Death so i didnt include it.. ANYONE can growl like an idiot.. not everyone can sing! :)
Sorry dude, I'm not much one to post - but that stuff isn't metal. 4 years ago Lamb of God used to be metal - now they're frigg'n glam with a ton of money behind them. (My apologies to Lamb of God I once called them the next Pantera .... wow was I wrong. They use to know how to kick ass but the almighty $ really ate into their writing).
Anyway, I know it's all about opinions, but it's time for you to hear what I might consider to be real metal: It's not all blast beats, and it's not black metal, it's metal.
Go listen to the three B's
Botch
Burnt By the Sun
Between the Buried and Me
(and you can even try Coalesce they aren't really all that Metal ... but they are nice and grindy ..:)
AND IF YOU WANT A LAUGH WITH YOUR METAL GO LISTEN TO
CROTCHDUSTER ^_^ They fuck'n rule - actually, come to think of it I think CROTCHDUSTER would make an excelent addition to the destructoid family!
Your saying LoG's new album isnt as heavy as there previous work?
They didn't even remotley sound like pantera 4 years ago, there new album sounds like pantera, there old stuff was heavy too, but sacrament is by far the best record they have put out better vocals, more solos.
And your idea of them having money, trust me if they were rich they wouldn't do an assload of tours in clubs, they've been on tour for more than a year now.
Bands like metallica that only play arenas everyonce in awhile, now those bands are rich.
Oh and between the buried and me, shitty ass vocals hardcore shit...that band sucks, and I'm pretty sure they were on fuckin warped tour at one time. Warped tour is the fuckin' definition of un-metal. And there guitar work, HAHA, a three year old could strum that shit out, it's all dropped tunings. Between the buried and me is not metal, there hardcore, plain and simple.
Needs real metal. All this new mumbo-jumbo metal is for little girls. Bathory, Borknagar, Windir etc. are pure win. Also more classics like Metallica, Pantera, Megadeth and such is needed.
Since I'm at work... the youtubes (?) don't show up for me (lame!) - but maybe once I'm home I'll check back in.
Just be careful, these days a lot of things pass of as 'metal' when they're just pop rock and you'll get a LOT of haters from the days of old pointing it out. But they DO have a point.
Here's hoping they share THEIR metal, and it best be BRUTAL.
I'm sure I'm going to get yelled at and told that these are not metal bands but, I enjoy Dragonforce, Kittie, Avenged Sevenfold, Strapping Young Lad, and a few others. Maybe they're not metal, but they're the metal-est I go... so far.
A7X and Strapping kick ass... infact Strapping did an ode to Evil Dead in one of there videos making them Just that much more kick ASS, Dragonforce aswell are very nice.. sound like your into the Melodic on the fringe of Core.. good bands!

Whoa whoa, As I lay dying? Hhaha, that bands not metal at all.
Also, how is this about games?
HAHA, and thats not god forbid, ITS FUCKIN LAMB OF GOD!!
Nah dude, this is metal!
Note: not really
that sucks....
Wheres teh Dragonforce???
How is As I Lay Dying not metal? Unless you want to call them Metalcore.
Oh and Mnemic is more Nu-Metal...
Celldweller is awesome, metal or not!
DRAG"queen'FORCE SUCKS TOO!
hahah, he fixed the lamb of god video.
already edited the post and changed their name i screwed up on a paste...
i know why you dont consider As I metal.. and i fear your mistaken
Kreator and Venom
oh and Motorhead
the three most important metal bands of all time.
Besides the point is to show all the forms of Metal from Speed, Melodic, thrash.. etc.. i have Death so i didnt include it.. ANYONE can growl like an idiot.. not everyone can sing! :)
Just wanted to add a couple of my fav's.
NEEDS MOAR DRAGONFORCE
let the flames begin
wow, I wasn't expecting to see Celldweller in there. "One Good Reason" is as a better "metal" track.
If you want metal from Klayton, find Circle of Dust's "Brainchild" album.
EMO
All that shit's emo.
And Blindside, I've listened to your iPod, and you have dozens of CD's on there but I don't think alot of it was metal.
dvd knows metal.
you sir, just posted videos.
HAHAA!! dvd broke your blog. Now that's metal.
Also,
WE ARE MOTORHEADDD!
I've seen motorhead live, and they are the metal band to rule all metal bands, there the rolling stones of metal.
Pat Boone is the definition of metal
good taste in music
I like Folk Metal.
Sorry dude, I'm not much one to post - but that stuff isn't metal. 4 years ago Lamb of God used to be metal - now they're frigg'n glam with a ton of money behind them.

Do I notice some Metal-elitism in this thread :O
I dig the selection you have there, but where is the Pantera? Metallca? Iron Maiden?
Oh...i've just listed the classic "Big Three" of Metal...and they all rock!
All except anything by 'tallica since Newsted left :arms:w
Does Green Day count?
@taxial

LOL I love how you think all this bullshit music is metal
Sabbath, Pantera, Metallica (before the hair cut), and Iron Maiden.
/thread
See this is Between the buried and me...they are not metal...those hair cuts=epic metal fail.
no cannibal corpse? Immortal? cradle of filth? dimmu borgir? no *insert a dozen Finnish and Icelandic metal bands*

And since noone else has brought it up....
Pantera wins.
Gah, listen to pre-whorecle In Flames a and you might find some metal.
I do not approve of this list.
Pretty much the only metal I listen to is Dream Theater and Static-X. Both great bands.
Since you asked on my profile..
I do listen to some metal.. but not much.
I'm sure I'm going to get yelled at and told that these are not metal bands but, I enjoy Dragonforce, Kittie, Avenged Sevenfold, Strapping Young Lad, and a few others. Maybe they're not metal, but they're the metal-est I go... so far.
