Black Sabbath is the most boring live act I've ever seen. I love their music, but that was the first time I was ever bored at a concert. |

After hearing their last album, I am scared to listen to this. I saw a video from the last one and they were in Los Angeles cruising in lowriders....

Some of the metal these days is good and hard, right up until the bowel sounds/oral wet runny farts that the frontmen try to pass off as "vocals".
I could shit on a microphone and make as much fucking sense. SG |

I saw Sabbath's "live evil" tour - probably around 1981 or something? - and I thought it was a great show. No fancy-schmancy effects or lasers or anything, but just awesome music. |

You must go to 93.3 the bone, they are out of Dallas, you can get it through your puter, but they have so really great music.

I saw them the same time. 1982 Phili Spectrum. I was in shock. One of the first concerts I'ld been to. Shortly after that I saw Judas Priest Defenders tour at MSG in NYC. The energy destroyed anything Sabbath could have done. Fast foward....1984? Black Flag. Fuck me! I haven't been to an arena concert since. Club shows of the 80's killed! |

Ah.. The Classics  Highway to Hell Get it Hot If you want Blood Walk All Over You Shot Down in Flames Hell's Bells Whole Lotta Rosie Shook Me All Night Long Have a Drink on Me What do you do for Money Honey Back in Black For those about to Rock Thunderstruck Money Talks AC/DC is one of those rare bands with a LOT of decent material... Agreed that there is a lot of garbage coming out these days... When I was kid, listening to this stuff... Kids were commiting suicide, not shooting up schools... The holy rolers all blamed the metal bands.... AC/DC supposedly meant Anti Christ/ Devil's Child... The lead singer said the band was named after the plate on the back of his sewing machine motor. Those were the days...  |

not trying to start anything just remembering good old days when they did not sound like they do now. We would call the radio stations and request any metal band and they would laugh at us. Its so much better now music wise, more choices.

Check out Trivium. They are amazing and clean. |

Oh, hell no!! Corprorations may have killed mainstream music but there is still a demand for real Metal and Progressive. I am not a Death or Speed Metal freak, I prefer traditional Heavy Metal...and there are bands that are still doing it...you just won't hear it on the shitbag Clear Channel Communications stations ( or Sandusky or any of the other Corp.ses out there ) that have demolished private radio. For all of you old school fans Maiden is still doing traditional Metal and my personal favorite is HELLOWEEN. There's quite a few bands out there doing it but I need my old roomie to list them all. I have been out of the music scene for years. He's pretty much an authority on Metal and Punk. I also have a buddy at work ( a black guy, believe it or not ) who could write a dictionary on 70s 80s and 90's metal. |

I guess i am having trouble deciding whether my tastes have changed or the new musack that is marketed as metal sucks.
The old stuff I listened o as a kid still play in rotation and it still rocks, but I just can't get into KSE, fear Factory, Korn, SlipKnot, or any of the other newer bands, and I am really tired of having to listen to every song a band puts out to weed out one or two worth listening too. |

Most of them just degenerate into thrashing and screaming in order to be 'heavy'.

I'm more of an Awaken the Guardian type... I'd have liked it more if Ray Adler did that on instead of John Arch. I've got all 10 FW albums, yes, there are 10. I was listening to a little Savatage earlier tonight... |

Well, I just picked up a free copy of Numbers form the Beast, a Tribute to Iron Maiden, and must say that plain ol heavy metal is still the best.
I never understood the facination with bands like Pantera. Couldn't understand a single thing that was being said because the singer tried to growl the verses. Same with Slayer, Morbid Angel, and all the other 'death metal'. Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Sabbath, RJD, Ozzy.. THAT is Heavy Metal. Music you could understand, but was still heavy. One band that had a really good song was Laaz Rocket, the song The Omen. Heavy, but very melodic. |

I love In Flames, maybe because im half Swed....
however, the hardest song I can still make out the lyrics to is "My Own Summer" by the Deftones...God I love the Deftones! Nuke Blast records has a ton of heavy hitters on there label, cant remember any of my favs off the top but below is a few of my other hard favs. Atreyu "Right Side of the bed" and "The Crimson" OH DAMN SO GOOD Sub Dub Micromachine is Anvil heavy metal! Holotype "Shadowbox" Killswitch Engage is pretty heavy too. Has anyone on here listened to Chronix Aggression on iTunes under the metal section of the internet radio. Those guys get great new stuff from bands way before they make it big, and alot of it is HEAVY. I wont even listen to the crappy "rock" stations in the area I am in anymore, it is just pathetic. |

I'd love to see some links to these Metal bands. Lamb of God is one I can offer. I especially like "Laid to Rest" from Ashes of the Wake, selection 3 on their online Radio. I'm a drummer (was, anyway, haven't played for real in decades) and I like the drummer in this band. Very tight, aggressive and exact. For some really intense stuff - I don't listen to it, but have it bookmarked - check out Black Metal Radio.
If you think current Metal is intense, look into Free Jazz. This stuff began in the 1960s when Rock was tame and just discovering hard edges. I've got to mention John Coltrane. Check him out. He got very extreme at the end of his life. There are many more. Here's a link to streaming or downloadable mp3s by a German sax player, Peter Brotzman. He's still making music as far as I know. Also, check out Ken Vandermark on the same site. Another one to listen to is John Zorn (do a websearch). If you like the aggression and chaos of Metal you owe yourself a listen to Free Jazz. One place to hear it online is at 1dot4.fm. GL |

I don't know about "these days", Emperor hasn't made a decent record since about 1997 (are they even still around?). DB never did anything for me, even in the mid-90's. In Flames is a rock band now, same with Dark Tranquillity.  I haven't kept up with The Haunted or CoB.I love Opeth.
Agreed on Priest. Painkiller is also a classic, IMO. |

Important note. DO NOT THINK OF SINGING GEESE! I know what you mean. I try to keep that image out of my mind, and I really do like the music. It takes some getting used to, but if you get it, you won't hear it like you're hearing it now. GL |

She was/is in a new band called Cadaveria. I have their first album from about 2003, don't know if they made another. I can't think of any other bands with growling chicks. She's pretty unique.

Yes. I've listened to a lot of metal in my day, but the crap that's coming out now is just an arms race of shit. "Oh, they're fast and heavy? Well, I'm gonna tune down to C and play twice as fast. I need forearms like Popeye to play that fast, but that's the price I pay for my art." Metal isn't about being louder, faster, and heavier than the next guy. I guess I'm just getting old but all this shit sounds the same now. I watch a couple of minutes of Uranium on Fuse, and you literally can't pick out the artists, they sound like they're all on the same album. I prefer some melody in my metal. About the hardest I can listen to and still enjoy is In Flames or Killswitch Engage. Metallica did do some interesting stuff early on. They pretty much created the sound, or at least brought it to the surface. Frankly I hated most early Metallica when I first heard it, it was just too hard to listen to. Now I enjoy it, partly because it's an acquired taste and partly because there is so much shit out there now that it actually sounds good. |

Kreator's "Pleasure to Kill" is a thrash classic!

That's Good Enough for Me Cookie Monsters of death-metal music. BY JIM FUSILLI Wednesday, February 1, 2006 12:01 a.m. EST While the extreme branch of heavy-metal music known as death metal is defined in part by often-vile lyrics about violence, catastrophic destruction, nihilism, anarchy and paranoia, its singing style is associated with a beloved goggle-eyed, fuzzy blue puppet. Death-metal vocalizing is also known as Cookie Monster singing, if not in tribute to, at least in acknowledgment of, the "Sesame Street" puppet that blurts in a guttural growl, his words discharged so rapidly that they tend to collide with each other. |
