Make some suggestions for us to listen to, I'm always ready for some more metal!

Okay. From the groups I mentioned...

Tyr (A Faroe Islands Metal Band with sound like mid-late 80's Metallica, and many viking themes)
For Instance... "Hold the Heathen Hammer High"...

Within Temptation, a sort of Symphonic sound, similar in many ways to Nightwish and Evanescence. Here's one which includes Howard Jones (former front for Killswitch Engage)

Godsmack. I'm not sure how anyone could have missed these guys, along with the next group I'm going to list, but... Here's a sample...

Disturbed and/or Device. The lead singer of Disturbed did a separate project under the group title 'Device'. Both groups are pretty awesome.

Something I hadn't previously mentioned. There's this... REALLY weird fusion of metal/dubstep. Lzzy Hale, front for Halestorm provides vocals for Lindsey Sterling, a dubstep violinist (no, really), in her first song with actual lyrics, and while it sounds insane, it works great.

Now, put Device together with Lzzy Hale, in this cover of 'Close Your Eyes Forever'.

While his fame has mostly come and gone, Marilyn Manson is surprisingly hard for all the makeup and theatrics. (WARNING, the lyrics in this version have been 'cleaned up', a practice I abhor).

Here's a single from a band that I have an eye on, Like A Storm. This is the only one I've heard from them, but it's pretty awesome.

Thanks Lynn. Food for thought, grist for the mill. I will have a good listen.

Are you frustrated Whoey, or just headbanging there?

You went where I didn't dare to go ToolJoe

Any hopes I had of getting into BOC have been wrecked by Will Ferrell

Oh! There's a cure for that. Try the ORIGINAL BOC!

Hot rails to Hell.

yeah some youtube policy has changed from v2 to v3 or something... I need to look at the autoembed mod, and will probably have to replace it. No time to deal with it right now.

About to crank up Metallica.

Lynn LeFey · **Reply #130 on:** May 12, 2015, 03:10:21 AM

I've had 'Damage Incorporated' running through my head lately.

Rock never dies, why should the thread?

kkokkolis · **Reply #132 on:** May 15, 2015, 10:49:26 AM

I love die hard rockers!

What's your Judas Priest favourite? A great HM group. I particularly like Rob Halford's high pitch voice which was a trend in the '80s (together with Bruce Dickinson, Udo Dirkschneider, Brian Johnson etc), but they made great music and songs that are equally catching when sung by a complete different style singer. Hear my favourite, Breaking the Law, by Motorhead!

Nice topic - great band, and what a singer! Very brave too, coming out in the macho world of metal.

My personal favourite is 'Electric Eye' but as with all great bands there are so many to choose from.

A VIP of blues and metal alike in Europe, almost unknown in the US, Gary Moore. What's your favorite Moore song? Mine is Out in the fields but I love the Shapes of things cover too.
RIP Gary Moore
RIP Phil Lynnot

Along with Eric Bell,one of Belfast's guitar greats! I'd plum for Over The Hills

Great player! More suited to Metal than blues IMO - Listening to him twiddling that overdriven Peter Green Les Paul while Albert Collins and Albert King do their subtle thing was like watching a 3 year old trying to impress its dad.

I have to plum for the triumverate of 'Out in the Fields', 'Shapes of Things' and 'Over the Hills'.

AlephZero · **Reply #139 on:** June 05, 2015, 07:29:46 PM

Is this more for the old school metal or maybe for all of it?

In any case, I bring you:

ah yeah, also this:

magentus · **Reply #141 on:** June 05, 2015, 10:07:02 PM

Nice choices Aleph, and to answer your question, it's the whole brilliant rainbow of metal - all of it.

AlephZero · **Reply #142 on:** June 06, 2015, 06:04:22 AM

Hey thanks

I've been leaning lately towards progressive metal, but I still love every part of it

magentus · **Reply #143 on:** June 06, 2015, 09:58:40 AM

There's so much to love! I'm so deep into Opeth at the moment it's difficult to listen to anything else! What a band.

a friend of mine posted this on Facebook a while back. This was the last concert my wife and I attended before we left London:

They really are something else.
