There seem to be quite a few members here that like Heavy Metal so I wondered about starting up a thread devoted to my favourite music.
Apart from MT’s my biggest and longest running passion is music and HM in particular.
I’ve been listening to HM for about 40 years now – I was working my way through my parents singles collection (Elvis, Beatles, Rolling Stones) when I came across ‘All Day and All of the Night’ by the Kinks. It was such an exciting riff – I was hooked immediately. Luckily there was also a copy of ‘You Really Got Me’ too. That was the extent of my parents hard rock collection.
Next was the Top of the Pops version of ‘Whole Lotta Love’ by Led Zep, and ‘Black Betty’ by Ram Jam, ‘The Boys are Back in Town’ by Thin Lizzy, ‘Ace of Spades’ by Motorhead and ‘Blockbuster’ by Sweet. As soon as I got a tape recorder I would put it as close to the radio as I could and tape my favourite songs in complete silence.
What really opened my eyes was my school exchange trip to France where I was introduced to AC/DC, Deep Purple, Jimi Hendrix and Iron Maiden.
That was it! Between the ages of 13 and 29 (when my daughter was born) I spent all my spare cash on music and gigs.
What I love about Metal is that it is constantly evolving, challenging and progressing. My favourite bands today are different from when I was 13 but I still love to listen to the bands I first heard.
I could list a couple of hundred bands that I regularly listen to and feel excited by but for the moment my favourite bands are:
Tool
Opeth
Black Sabbath
Mastodon
A Perfect Circle
So, here’s the Heavy Metal club – all inclusive, if you don’t like Metal feel free to say so, but if you do, and I know you do, let rip here. And if you say it’s Metal, it’s Metal..

Normally called the zeibekiko not metallico of Eudokia, it is an improvised solo dance like the soldier on the second video is dancing. The music was written for the film Eudokia and is nowadays one of the most easily reckognisable tracks.

I think my "awakiening" was Guns N Roses Appetite for Destruction in `87, I tracked their roots back and found some Nice bands on the way.
I do enjoy a wide spectrum from Aerosmith to ZZ Top, including Motörhead, Miedival inspired bands like In extremo, Glam Rock like Motley Crue, Punk inspired ones like the Ramones, others like The Backyard Babies, Hellacopters, sometimes a little less loud like the Quireboys, even some Kid Rock now and then, and classics like AC / DC, Metallica, Judas Priest...

So much goodness to listen to! So much variety - something for everyone.
My first girlfriend was into hair metal and dressed like it and was digusted with me because I was going through a proggy stage with my 'Fish from Marillion' haircuit and combat jacket. We didn't last long........

Not into Heavy Metal per se... more into the melodic bit: Symphonic Metal, Power Metal, Doom Metal, Gothic Metal, Industrial Metal etc.

I love Rammstein - the whole family does (but melodic?) and I've been listening to tons of Nightwish. So glad Floor is singing for them now - great voice. I will check out Nekrogoblin just for the name.
Zed, I am a huge ABBA fan too and love Sweet Caroline - you're correct the man has chops.
When I was playing in bands it was a recurring idea to play Abba songs in a Black Sabbath style and call ourselves Black Sabba. I think we'd have been hit with lawsuits before the first doom laden chords of 'Take a Chance on Me' faded

It's quite a wide range, but like I said we don't tend to play too much of the classics (plenty of other shows cover that already...)
Post by: Grant Lamontagne on April 23, 2015, 02:12:27 PM
I'm also a fan of 70's style punk/metal like the Runaways. I love Lita Ford and Joan Jett.
And, if I never hear Sweet Caroline again it'll be too soon. That and Brown Eyed Girl was performed by every band that played every bar I ever worked in, every night they were there. I am sick of those two songs like you wouldn't believe.

I used to be into heavy metal but almost exclusively listen symphonic metal now. I've seen Lacuna Coil, Delain, Within Temptation and will be seeing Nightwish in concert in December :)
Mike, where are you seeing Nightwish? I may try and get tickets to take my daughter.
It's amazing how many niches Metal occupies - from the last few posts we have Classic, Hair, Symphonic, Death, Thrash, there's Industrial, Doom, Grindcore, Math etc etc etc.
One of the reasons I love it is that it's so inclusive and I'm especially heartened nowadays to see as many females as males attending gigs. When I was young it was totally male dominated but when I took my daughter to see Opeth last October there was a massive cross section of people there.
Can you really hear 'Sweet Caroline' too many times? I think not!
Post by: magentus on April 23, 2015, 03:06:05 PM
While I consider myself a metal fan, most of what I listen to is in the Death, Melodic Death, Thrash and the more modern metal ranges. Very little classic metal gets played in this house. If you want to hear what the wife and I enjoy you can check out her radio show on demand: https://www.mixcloud.com/sexto9/
It's quite a wide range, but like I said we don't tend to play too much of the classics (plenty of other shows cover that already...)
Whoey - I love Opeth - hands down (apart from Tool) my fave band at the moment. Who would you recommend I listen to in the same vein?
I will check out her show when I get my new works laptop tomorrow as I can't access it on my desktop pc.

I really dig Riverside, they have some groovy stuff a bit like Opeth, for example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5whn4_-0j0s
Have you ever listened to Katatonia (the lead Jonas is good friends with Mikael of Opeth) and they are similar mellow side:

There's also Dan Swano (Edge of Sanity, and several other bands) side project Nightingale:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6PhV4JyVw4
Also maybe check out some Stephen Wilson stuff, Porcupine Tree etc. He worked with Opeth producing several of their albums:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y77CN0Xrubo
That's probably more than enough to get you started. I'm finding Opeth a bit samey these days, I liked them a lot better when they mixed more harsh and mellow... Still great, and we've seen them live countless times, interviewed them loads of times.

Cheers Whoey - I will investigate. If I'm honest, while I like the newer stuff I prefer the older material because it has more to it. I love it that you cannot predict where the song is going to go next.
What were they like to interview? They are astonishingly good musicians - I was amazed when I saw them, and we regularly watch the live DVD's - breathtaking. Thanks again!
Post by: Whoey on April 23, 2015, 04:07:53 PM
They are quite mellow humble guys. It's always been a pleasure to speak with them both on and off mic. One time we showed up at the label office to do an interview with them, and they said "What Maria again?" when they told them the interview was with Totalrock... back then we were one of the few who cared about them... and look at them now!
I've always thought they were amazing musicians, and they tend to be more of a musician appreciated band, the people who appreciated the concerts back then were mostly musicians themselves!
Most of those examples are quite mellow/accessible to all. Some of the bands have a similar range to Opeth, depending on which album/era you listen to. That's something I love about some bands, they play both harsh and mellow sides, just showing how open minded they are when it comes to music!

We were still in the UK when they filmed the Lamentations DVD at Shepard's Bush Empire, in fact it was the last concert in London before we left, we are somewhere in the upper gallery...

This is great! Thanks for telling me. I've asked for the Lamentations DVD for my birthday next month, and the CD's that I don't have already - Damnation, My Arms Your Hearse, Still Life and the Albert Hall DVD.
I haven't felt like this about a band since first hearing Tool many years ago. Another good thing about Opeth is that they are a lot more prolific than Tool!
I bet it's great to have a hand in the success of a band you really like.

I don't tend to listen to as much metal as I used to but here is what I tend to gravitate towards:

Musically I love Dream Theatre but I wish they'd get a new singer - He's not bad at all, but his voice seems at odds with the music.
Tool are my most favourite band - they seem to be on a different plane to everyone else - can't describe it.
I will check out Russian Circles and Ruby the Hatchet - There are quite a few bands with the Sabbath sound (The Sword, Orange Goblin etc) but none quite capture the sheer primevel awe of a Tony Iommi riff - blindingly simple and obvious but but but....... 'Into the Void' once it kicks in, is Tony at his best I think - so simple but only Tony thought of it.

One of several for us. Lacuna Coil, In Flames were also bands we championed back 12-13 years ago, and both of those have also grown to a massive fan base... In fact, back then my wife had a reputation of being "the girl who plays In Flames" on the radio... and just to annoy Mike here's the photo of my wife and Cristina from Lacuna Coil a bunch of years back (I've posted it on here before, but it never gets old :P)We were still in the UK when they filmed the Lamentations DVD at Shepard's Bush Empire, in fact it was the last concert in London before we left, we are somewhere in the upper gallery...

I kinda jumped ship from Dream Theater around 2005 after Train of Thought (still one of the best shows i've ever seen). DT were on point the most around Awake. Falling Into Infinity and Scenes From a Memory are still great albums. I tend to stick more with Liquid Tension Experiment more than Dream Theater these days..
Russian Circles have a heavier sound but are more instrumental than metal.

The more I read from you, the more I think we´d have a great time together, Paul. Although we might have to argue about tea or coffee is the right drink to start a day. :tu: and I have this feeling with many of teh members here. I only fear no city would survive a complete MTO meet.
I think I need to listen to some old records I still not have on CD this weekend. Those crackling when the needle hits the record... sweet memories.

Two years ago I got the chance to finally see my biggest idol through the years King Diamond Live at the Copenhell Festival and just after getting my two girls that was one of the most fantastic experiences so far..!! Throwing horns, knowing all the lyrics and constantly having goose bumps for two hours.. :D :D

My question to you all is:
What riff do you have playing in your head when you're doing something cool?
If I'm doing something cool and fast (running away from/chasing Ninjas etc) I have (currently) 'Kickstart my Heart' by Motley Crue
If I'm doing something slower (stalking Ninja's/making an omelette/shaving) I have 'Into the Void' by the mighty Sabs

And where would we be without the mighty Ritchie Blackmore? I was lucky enough to see the reformed Mk2 lineup at Brixton Acadamy for the 'Slaves and Masters' tour and Ritchie blew my mind. The whole band was excellent but he was something else.
I wish I'd been able to see Rainbow with Dio singing - Heaven!

Richie plays very differently now (what is it, Celtic music or something?) but if he is happy it doesn't matter. Most quitarists of today owe to him, Jimmy Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page (honourable mention Tonny Iomi).

Ok Metallers, we've all introduced ourselves. We all have metal running through our veins. We are, as Manowar would say, a Brotherhood of Metal.
My question to you all is:
What riff do you have playing in your head when you're doing something cool?
If I'm doing something cool and fast (running away from/chasing Ninjas etc) I have (currently) 'Kickstart my Heart' by Motley Crue

Most of the time it's something classical like Motorhead although BLS often comes in too. But there are those special moments when Montley Crue's Dr Feelgood has to step in. And I've got a rated M story about using that pseudonym ;) :whistle:

my favourites have changed many time, but never forgotten. I have allways listened to Metallica, Guns'n Roses, Billy Idol, Amorphis, Megadeth, Sonata Arctica, Slipknot, etc. Anything from hardcore to classic metal, to melodic metal. Usually what i listen, changes by the mood i am at.
And hey, i am from Finland. :D
Post by: magentus on April 27, 2015, 02:46:24 PM
Whoey - I really enjoyed 'Fear of a Blank Planet' by Porcupine Tree. Great lyrics too.
I would recommend Opeth's 'Harlequin Forest' - mucho Death Prog, and '46 & 2' by the mighty Tool. I can't add links to these as I'm at work, but will if I have time later.

Inspired by this thread I added ~ 120 new songs, mostly Dio, Megadeth, Anthrax, Halloween, Venom, Twisted Sister etc.
Those bands are my teenage years right there! I remember seeing Venom at the Hammersmith Odeon (half empty!), Dio twice on 2 consecutive nights and breaking up with my girlfriend on the 2nd night (can't remember why), Singing 'we're not gonna take it' while standing on the seats at a Twisted Sister gig and being told to get of the seats by the security, going to see Anthrax and leaving after Living Colour (support band) had been on as there was no way Anthrax were going to top them!

Actually that's my poor design/implementation. The whole thing is made up of prefinished/laminated boards... none of them are the same spacing just roughly the height of a cd case vertical (they're longer than tall) to allow for some of the special box editions that are weird heights. Also when I built it I didn't have hardly any tools available... and it was a bit of a rush job so I roughly measured it out instead of making a jig that would have had it perfect. Also the shelves that aren't sagging is because those are the ones with L brackets attached to the wall... in retrospect I wish I had used shorted length, or cut some spacers to build a central column to give it more structural integrity...I have a couple Metallica albums on vinyl...

Dio, Malmsteen and a classic

The Dio fronted Heaven and Hell album is, to me, the quintessential old school metal album - 'Die Young' being the song that encapsulates everything good about Metal.

and 46 & 2 by the mighty Tool:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8aT9oRp95A
I would wholeheartedly recommend both these bands- fiercely intelligent, complex music that takes metal high above the caveman stereotype and soars through the cosmos of higher consciousness. Or something........
Post by: kkokkolis on April 27, 2015, 11:24:42 PM
OK, Led Zeppelin inspired Heart and Dread Zeppelin and some AC-DC. They are great too at their time but they had almost nothing to do with Dio.
Post by: magentus on April 27, 2015, 11:42:26 PM
Yes. I always liked the way Black Sabbath and Deep Purple where interconnected and Dio was the bridge between them. Gillan has a very "Blues" voice and didn't suit their sound but Dio was equally great in Rainbow (Deep Purple's natural successor) and Black Sabbath and even better in his own scheme, were he played the highest quality Heavy Metal after studying in those two great schools. Many people cite Led Zeppelin as the greatest but they didn't give life to other groups and they didn't evolve further (some brief Coverdale and Page and Page and Plant collaborations are exceptions), Yardbirds were much more inspiring (one could claim that LZ were "unique" of course) but consider the groups that started from these two, Ozzy Osbourne, Heaven and Hell, Rainbow, Ian Gillan Band, Whitesnake, PAL (OK, and Blackmore's Night) the continued Black Sabbath and Deep Purple after 1986, the new wave of HM groups that stepped on their sounds and themes like Iron Maiden, the connections with other groups like Rob Halford and Judas Priest, the immitators, the musicians that were shared, such as Cozy Powel, Don Airy, Glenn Hughes, Bob Daisley, the collaborations of Butterfly Ball and the second Concerto for Group and Orchestra etc. Their influence goes down to any modern HM group and to any boy that scratches his quitar, from Randy Rhoades to Curt Cobain and from Joe Satriani to Yngwie Malmsteen.
OK, Led Zeppelin inspired Heart and Dread Zeppelin and some AC-DC. They are great too at their time but they had almost nothing to do with Dio.
Totally agree. While I love Zep and even more the direction that Robert Plant has taken lately, Ronnie was always my man. He put his mark on every band he was in and then released the incredible Holy Diver - a perfect debut - Best since Boston arrived fully formed.
Another point I love about Ronnie is that, as a shy and nervous teenager his lyrics reached out to me. Not nihilistic lyrics but of acceptance and hope. The brilliant ' wishing well' from heaven and hell with its ' I'll give you a star, so you'll know just where you are' to 'rainbow in the dark' from holy diver.
And don't get me started on Richie Blackmore!

Just wondering if you head-banger people (hey, I do it, too) :D are going to start :pommel: if I say that there are some very heavy metal tunes in early Queen sound.
Like in Ogre Battle, Sheer Heart Attack, The Seven Seas of Rhye, Mustapha, Stone Cold Crazy, maybe The Prophet's Song and possibly other tracks eluding me right now?
And please allow a mini-rant (can't burn a heretic if they're not a believer, can you now?) :D, the two things I don't like about metal are, first that I can't understand all the labelling, Thrash, Death, Core, Glitter :P and I_don't_know_what Metal and then, how defined of a sound metal music (as my ears perceive it) is, it seems, against variation. :shrug:
Then again I didn't know Tool and Led Zep are classed as metal. I like them both, though.
Post by: magentus on April 28, 2015, 12:14:18 AM
:think:Hey firiki I agree about Queen. Very heavy first couple of albums. I think the labelling you dislike just serves as a shortcut - I call it all metal as an umbrella term for my own benefit but it is useful to be able to differentiate between bands like say Whitesnake and Venom, or Slipknot. All very different sounding bands.

Yes, I'm not saying they're all the same nor am I bashing anything here. I haven't ventured into metal, really not my kind of music, I just wanted to share a couple of impressions from a bystander's perspective. >:D
Post by: Monrogue on April 28, 2015, 04:23:13 AM
I also got into Korn bigtime, as well as some Limp Bizkit. Not sure if they're metal exactly. Like firiki, I'm not familiar with all the sub genres within the metal family. I also like Disturbed and a large variety from the 90's and millennium on, but with no access to any of it currently, I can't think of many other bands off the top of my head. I do also like Motley as well (mags mentioned "Kickstart my Heart" which I always enjoy when it comes on the radio). I wish I could think of more. I do enjoy Tool some as well.
I've slowed on the acquisition/discovery of much new metal in the last decade though. I hear stuff on the rock station that I like, but I'm not familiar with many of the bands. Although I do like Hailstorm I think it is. The female vocalist is really great and has a set of lungs from what I've heard. I really like their song "Love Bites". Very energetic and thrashy song. Bits and pieces keep coming to me ;) Anyway, I may think of more later.

Hey magentus, may I join? :pok: While I was a kid in the 80's, my interest in music really kicked in during the 90's. I honestly don't remember what bands I really got into early on, but I know I ended up backtracking to the 80's with Metallica and Guns n Roses in particular. I had a friend I met in 8th grade who was a metal fan and he helped shape my tastes in music, with one major band he was the biggest fan of-Pantera. We went and saw them, along with many other bands like Fear Factory (another one that stuck out to me) at Ozzfest '97. I'll have to look up who else played there (obviously Ozzy and Black Sabbath). That was my first concert and overwhelming for a young me at the time ;)

I started listening to metal when I was nine. It started with Iron Maiden and Metallica, then Pantera came, then heavier stuff came (death, black, etc.).
When I was 11, I discovered the old In Flames (Clayman was their last masterpiece IMO) and strongly fell in love with their sound. I was blown away by their combination of melodies, heaviness and awesome lyrics. The old IF sound was my musical favorite for many years. I accepted the fact that they have changed their sound a lot and I respect their decision - bands have every right to do whatever they want with their music. But their newer albums are not as interesting to me as their older albums, simple as that.
After the long period of preferring of Gothenburg melodeath sound (DT, Soilwork, AE, ATG, AMS, etc.), now I prefer the Finnish sound (mostly melodeath - Insomnium, Before the dawn, Amorphis, etc.). Currently Insomnium is my favorite band, followed by Amorphis and BTD.
What annoys me about music these days (including metal, too, definitely) is that there are a lot of boring copycats, repeating the same musical phrases and lyrics over and over... Plus, I'm not a fan of trivial and retarded teenage-angst lyrics. I prefer the music with lyrical and musical depth and passion, whatever the genre. As I grow older, more and more I want the music to have that certain vibe, something I can individually resonate to. One day I will turn up Tori Amos, the next day it will be Mastodon or Jakob, the next day Blotted Science... It doesn't have to have the yet-unseen 100000000 BPM tempo or 232-minute-super-duper-phrygian-dominant-scale solo for me to resonate... it's all about my current feeling and thoughts. For me, music should be all about the acoustic freedom, the remnants of a certain state of human mind, present somewhere in time and space.

Nice post. I agree with the freedom for bands to do what they want and it's a truely great band that will deviate from the successful path to experiment. Record companies hate it and some fans want to same music repeated ad infinitum.
I love Tori Amos for her willingness to explore, as well as Tool and Opeth. Mastodon too are masters of beginning a song in one direction and then swerving all over the place until arriving somewhere south of the destination you expected, in a completely different vehicle. They are the Frank Zappa of Metal I think.

I respect a band who takes a shot and tries out a new sound sometimes. I know this might be an unpopular view that I have but I applaud Metallica for taking a direction change that they did with Load/Reload/St. Anger. ...And Justice turned a little bit away from the thrash of Kill em, Lighting and Puppets and then they went for the more groove oriented stuff a la Pantera on the Black Album.I didn't mind this either. I actually enjoyed their change and have liked all their albums.

Everyone seems to like Maiden.
My favourite of theirs is 'Hallowed Be Thy Name'.
Through 23 years and countless listens, it's still exciting and monumental.
Beginning quietly with a gentle riff, Bruce Dickinson (at his finest) singing Steve Harris' lyrics (best ever IMO) becomes the condemned man, waiting for his own execution. The song slowly builds with Bruce and the guitars taking it in turns to raise the tension. The song explodes into an amazing crescendo of dual guitars and soloing that still sends shivers up my spine.
If you haven't heard it already - what are you waiting for?
What's your favourite Maiden song?

2 Minutes to Midnight. I'm not sure what it is about the song but everything clicks on the whole.
From Wiki:
The song title references the Doomsday Clock, the symbolic clock used by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, which represents a countdown to potential global catastrophe. In September 1953 the clock reached 2 Minutes to Midnight, the closest it ever got to midnight, when the United States and Soviet Union tested H-bombs within nine months of one another. According to Dickinson, the song critically addresses "the romance of war" in general rather than the Cold War in particular.
Great choice BTW :salute:

I have to go with the obvious 'Ace of Spades' but it's got everything that makes Motorhead so great. Monster bass riff, dangerous lyrics delivered at breakneck speed while straddling the borders between punk, metal and rock n roll, all sat astride the Tyrannosaurus roar of Lemmys vocals
It's like a dinosaur with a mohican riding a souped up lawnmower over a cliff while on fire.

I would like to hear Motorhead without the guitars, just Lemmy's bass, because I think they could get away with it. A sort of reverse White Stripes.
Lemmy and Geddy Lee made the Rickenbacker bass a thing of beauty.

Good vid!
I was watching a live performance of 'Hallowed Be Thy Name a couple of nights ago, and re-appreciating Steve Harris' contribution to the Maiden sound. It's a solid bedrock for the guitars to jump from.
Geezer Butler is another great - the only song where he's allowed full flight is 'Wishing Well' from the brilliant 'Heaven and Hell' album. An underrated song IMO, but if you listen to his basslines they are magical.

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"...
https://youtube.com/devicesupport (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKY3scPIMd8#ws)
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)
https://youtube.com/devicesupport (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKY3scPIMd8#ws)
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...
https://youtube.com/devicesupport (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKY3scPIMd8#ws)
Disturbed and/or Device. The lead singer of Disturbed did a separate project under the group title 'Device'. Both groups are pretty awesome.
https://youtube.com/devicesupport (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKY3scPIMd8#ws)
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.
https://youtube.com/devicesupport (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKY3scPIMd8#ws)
Now, put Device together with Lzzy Hale, in this cover of 'Close Your Eyes Forever'.
https://youtube.com/devicesupport (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKY3scPIMd8#ws)
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).
https://youtube.com/devicesupport (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKY3scPIMd8#ws)
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.

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!

Loved this. I checked out a couple others from them. 'King' had too much 'cookie Monster' crappy vocals. 'Call of the Mountains' was pretty excellent.
The mix of female vocalist lead with a secondary 'counterpoint', I guess, of male deathmetal vocals reminds me of Leaves Eyes, a band I'd LOVE if they'd rein in the cookie monster crappy vocals. This one by them has just a tad too much for me, but mostly tolerable.

I was born in May 1968.
Since I can remember (2-4 years old) there were rock sounds all around (and hairs, sideburns, bell pants, hippie culture that came in Greece with a delay because we had a military Junta then).
When I was 8-10 years old the older guys (teenagers) wore safety pins and funny clothes and listened to some Sex Pistols. A bit later it was confusing. Some listened to Disco, some Pin Floyd ad nauseum and there was a new thing called Heavy Metal, started from a band with an uggly mascot and a 666 album (666 was first used in "Aphrodite's Child" 1972 album of the same name (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcAnMTHuNNk), with the greats Vangelis, Demis Roussos, Yannis, Tsarouchis, Irene Pappas, Kostas Ferris etc, but I didn't know it then).
I was a bit conservative as a youngster but in my teens I rediscovered the sounds of my childhood, first Hard Rock with Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and the rest and shortly afterwards the Heavy Metal sounds of Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Scorpions (girls loved it, you had to have a couple of LPs as conversation starters), Blue Oyster Cult, Motorhead and the rest.
I followed with the newer wave throughout the 80s. Accept, Manowar, G&R. And then, in 1993 I got married.
That was it. After 1993 I am a rock iliterate. It was classical music or nothing. I mean I don't even know most of the groups ypu are talking about.
Now my kids are 21 and 18, legally adults. I hope I'll catch up. Although I lost a lot of headbanging potential in the process of growing them up.

Nice post Lynn - the global input is amazing. Growing up in the UK I guess I've always been spoiled for music and listened to loads of UK and US bands, but Europe has REALLY opened my eyes to metal. The scandinavians especially have taken up the ball and run riot with it introducing all sorts of influences my younger self would have baulked at.
I know I keep going on about Opeth, but they are one of those bands that really do defy description and have evolved from album to album, and quite often from the beginning to the end of a song. They are ridiculously talented people.
I'm on my work pc at the moment which doesn't allow me access to youtube, but check out 'Harlequin forest', 'Deliverence' and 'Hope Leaves' and tell me ABBA didn't start a Death Jazz band.

I prefered Coverdale's macho and blues voice over Hughe's high pitch and soul in the '70s, but now that he aged he got much better.
I thought the two of them worked well together on Burn. Two or more vocalists is a real bonus for me - Mastodon use it well.
I remember seeing a funny interview with Jon Lord talking about his days in Whitesnake, laughing about David Coverdale singing these raunchy, sexy, hard rock songs to a 15 year old male audience. :facepalm:

Nice one Joe - that is a ridiculously talented supergroup!
Last I checked, they are no more. I read an interview and Joe said hes moved on from the whole band thing. He got burned out by the way b.c.c. toured:

Foo Fighters are more Hard Rock than Heavy Metal, but this is a very 'metal' thing to do.
Dave Grohl breaks his leg mid-performance, then comes back an hour later to finish the set.
http://digg.com/video/dave-grohl-breaks-his-leg-mid-performance-returns-to-finish-the-show?utm_source=digg&utm_medium=facebook
Why does this matter to me? Because in 1992, during a stadium tour of Metallica and Guns N' Roses, James Hetfield stepped in front of a pyrotechnic effect, and caught it in the face and arm. he had to be rushed to the hospital. Guns N' Roses COULD have stepped in, jammed with Metallica, then done their own set, and saved the day. Instead, Axl (waste-of-human-flesh) Rose didn't even finish GNR's set. This led to riots. I don't blame Hetfield. You get burned that bad, you're in need of serious medical attention. I DO blame Rose. Could have been a hero, instead, showed what an a-hole he is. I will never forgive that. I have a lot of words I'd use to describe Axl Rose. All of them are on the filter list. Smurfing Smurfhole. :D
Grohl breaks his f-ing leg, gets treated, and finishes the set. THAT is metal. That shows a dedication to your job, and to your fans.
Mr. Grohl... :hatsoff:

There's a group called Steel Panther, a parody/homage 80's metal hair band. Their stuff is ... uhh... raunchy.
Seriously raunchy.
If you are 'easily offended', as in, have ANY taste whatsoever, I suggest you skip this one.

As you probably know Lemmy Kilmister sadly passed away due to agressive cancer the 28. december, just 4 days after his 70 birthday.. :( Eventhough I've been a fan for over 25 years, I've never seen MÖTORHEAD live, but until a few days ago I was certain that it would happen some day.. But R.I.P. Lemmy and this documentary is worth spending a few hours on.. :salute: :salute:

Well Rammstein can be included to the list. But they are not my beer, actually. It seems to be always the same - no real variation in their songs. The lyrics are a little strange, specially for german ears. Oomph is a good band. I like 'em.
Tool and Opeth are nice to listen to. A little bit experimental though.
Well, you could try Megaherz or Eisregen if you like german lyrics.
Another great band, noneheless is Amon Amarth. I´ve also seem them several times. Their early albums are just great. I recommend anyone listen to "Once Sent From The Golden Hall" or "The Avenger" . Great stuff!
For sure all those old guys are just plain awesome ... Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden (the old albums), Metallica (the first three albums), Kreator, Sodom, Venom ... the list goes on and on. If I would be 10 years younger ... sigh :dd: :twak:
Sometimes bands like Dropkick Murphys or Dead Kennedys are also great to listen to... not really metal, but well made punk rock.

While tracks like 'Links' are very interesting to dissect lyrically, my favourite track 'Ich tu dir weh' (I hurt you, or, I do you woe') is uncomfortable listening knowing the translation, so I have given up looking at the english translations.

I'm impressed with the Lindemann album. Very adult lyrics! I'm kind of glad that Rammsteins lyrics are in German because I don't have to think too much about the subject matter. :facepalm:Yeah, Till is a character. Honestly Rammstein would not have the following if they sang exclusively in English. The Germans stereotypically have unusual taste in their adult entertainment, much if which is extremly taboo in the English speaking world. Rammsteins lyrics certainly reflect the darker side of human desires and thoughts.

I saw them live on the Reise Reise tour and we were sat next to a cordoned off area. It was a 'safety zone' because of the amount of pyro the band threw out. Apart from Tool and Opeth both of which border on a religious experience for me, Rammstein is the best live band I've seen.

Rammstein's live shows are something else. I remember being so excited when their decade long ban from the US was lifted, I bought a ticket that day! I agree that its a shame so many bands are pressured to sing in English, especially when the songs dont translate well (Du Hast is an especially good example of losing meaning in the English version. No more ambiguity with the homophones "hast" and "hasst").Lol out loud! Us too!

We interviewed them so much back in London that one time they were at the label HQ doing press and when they told them next was an interview with Totalrock they said "what, Maria again?" :P It's like seeing old friends every time now... (which can be dangerous if Maria drops a question that they might not normally answer to press)They seem like pretty chill people - Mikael seems particularly down to Earth for someone with his abilities - He doesn't come across like a Ritchie Blackmore.

Also, I spontaneously narrowed down my taste in metal - not every band or song sounds good to me just because they're metal. For example, I just can't resonate with the "most modern" metal bands like The Unguided or Sonic Syndicate. It just sounds too shallow and modernly wanna-be-hardcore-and-spectacular to me. It's like their songs don't differ at all and try too hard to incorporate completely different atmospheres, even when it sounds clumsy. First they have the wanna-be-brutal-and-dark-death metal verses, with the vocals sounding like a kid trying too hard to sound like a death metal beast, only to be followed by a cheerful poppy chorus with completely clean vocals without any relation to the aforementioned verses. Don't get me wrong, I love blending different styles and emotions, as long as it is done with a taste and congruity, but 80% of this modern metal sounds just plain artificial and boring.
Even the old "players" can become dull and not interesting anymore - for example, I have a lot of respect for Peter Tägtgren, but his last 3 PAIN albums sounds exactly the same - a bit too boring- you hear those songs twice and you've had enough.
Fortunately, metal never stops evolving. Bands come and go, there is a constant flow of new and interesting bands that are waiting to be discovered.

I love the melodic and melancholic sound of certain Finnish metal bands like Insomnium, Sentenced, Before the dawn / Wolfheart / Black sun aeon (hats off to mr. Tuomas Saukkonen), Amorphis (all their eras),...Plenty of names there that are regularly spun on the wife's radio show and in this house.
Also, I spontaneously narrowed down my taste in metal - not every band or song sounds good to me just because they're metal. For example, I just can't resonate with the "most modern" metal bands like The Unguided or Sonic Syndicate. It just sounds too shallow and modernly wanna-be-hardcore-and-spectacular to me.

I don't mind the way Pain hasn't changed. He has Hypocrisy for a different outlet. That being said I find that happy/easy going Pain type tracks have a better chance of ending up in the car/driving mixes than other harder stuff that I do like. That being said, there's usually a standout track or two on each Pain album that is a tad better than the rest.

Insomnium - Winter's gate
They went for a change. Concept album (similar to Edge of Sanity's Crimson, for example), single 40 minutes long song. They kept some part of their typical Finnish melancholic melodeath sound, yet they added some almost-melodic-black sound and something else, I am not sure how to describe it, it may be even called a bit more progressive. The album is full of firm blastbeats - their most fierce drumwork ever. Niilo's growls never sounded so brutal. The heavy parts are divided by the proggy, dreamy acoustic passages. The atmosphere is quite cold, wintery. Their albums always had dreamy or melancholic sound (Since the day it all came down was their most wintery album up to date IMO), but this sounds even colder than most of the Norwegian '90s black metal.
Here is the beginning of the story behind the album (the sequels are on the "related videos" list):

I am and have been a big fan of EoS and the Crimson album. They did some really good stuff long before anyone else and the sound still stands up strong all these years later.
A lot of new releases have fallen a bit short for me lately and the album that has my attention mostly at the moment is Oracles "Miserycorde", here's a track:

Not bad, interesting mix of sounds/styles (in some parts it even sounds like crushingly, like old-school Aborted)!
I agree, EoS were indeed innovators (lots of respect for Dan Swano) and Crimson is a very interesting album. Few weeks ago I was listening to their "Purgatory Afterglow". Those riffs, that sharp old school Swedish DM guitar sound! That was a proper (melodic/progressive) death metal sound.

Exactly!
In 1994, In Flames and Dark Tranquillity were nowhere near the self-confidence of Dan Swano & EoS or Carcass&Heartwork (although they were developing rapidly as musicians). He (Dan Swano) was one of the pioneers of the melodeath sound, the post-1994 Gothenburg scene further developed the sound.

My faves were Rogue Trooper, Dredd, Ace Garp, Armoured Gideon, Slaine, ABC Warriors, Nemesis, Strontium Dog, Ballad of Halo Jones and DR and Quinch (probably loads more but that's off the top of my head).
There's a Strontium Dog fan film coming out soon. Here's a link to the trailer:

Sam Slade was very much in the Clint Eastwood mould, i think Dredd was a Clint Eastwood/James Coburn cross over and Major Eazy was all James Coburn!

I'm not sure if you knew this, but my wife's radio show was sandwiched between Krusher (Noisy Mothers/Kerrang) and Tommy Vance back in the golden era at Totalrock Radio. She considers Tommy to be her mentor when it comes to being on radio. In the beginning he was helping her do some demo tapes for adverts (she was doing them in Spanish) and he uttered: "I don't know what you're selling but I'm buying it." She later got him to record it in studio and uses it during her show as a sound bite.And some primodial metal, straight from the '68.Love it - That riff is so HEAVY!

The good news about 2016. The Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame honoured itself -with a 20+ year delay- by inducting the divine Deep Purple.
For once more, they didn't do it right. They forgot many members, such as Airey, Morse, Bolin, Satriani and Simper. What do you expect from those that can't tell RnR from Madonna and DMC.

Blackmore didn't go, perhaps because Gillan insisted that only current members (the first three with Airey and Morse) would play. Coverdale and Hughes didn't play with Deep Purple but with Cheap Trick.
Blackmore was always proud, peculiar and a bit autistic, as most really great artists. As his wife said, you can't get more black than Blackmore!

The whole group made a great impact. Just think of their affiliations.The Maze, Episode Six, Rainbow, Blackmore's Night, Paice Ashton Lord, Whitesnake, Black Sabbath, Ian Gillan Band, Gillan & Glover, Hughes Turner Project, Dio, Butterfly Ball, Living Loud, Rock Aid Armenia, WhoCares, Trapeze, Hughes/Thrall, Black Country Communion, Gillan, Ozzy Osbourne, Led Zeppelin, Coverdale/Page, Nazareth.

Richie also had the courage to pick and choose what he got involved in too. Always on his own terms - Other members made questionable choices........
I saw DP mk2 at Brixton academy on the 'Battle Rages On' tour. They were all great but as the only time seeing Richie live, I was utterly transfixed. He did his usual reworking of everything (he was clearly bored). He was like the genius kid in school who acts up in class because he is way ahead of everyone, including the teacher.
I think he walked out during that tour :facepalm:

Just found about the Swedish band Ghost. Interesting tunes they have.+1 - Do you think they are some sort of disguised supergroup? They seemed to arrive fully formed, and with their costumes they can swap members at will. I'm really enjoying them at the moment too. Great tunes, great presence and Papa Emeritus III is a hoot. Oh, and love those Gibsons!
Here's some for the uninitiated:

Sorry G-Unit, but in which universe is it normal to go two whole weeks without mentioning you went to see the band that started Heavy Metal, the most important music in the Galaxy? :facepalm:

I was still in a delirium of bliss?
Just a fantastic gig. None of them seem to have lost anything in terms of performance and the energy they put into it would put a lot of younger bands to shame. My only slight complaint was the excessively long drum solo, though I suspect they needed the time to let Ozzy take on some oxygen. ;)

So, I am asking, are there newer songs that have a legendary/cult/artistic status similar to that of the classics like Smoke on the Water, Ace of Spades, Black Dog, Godzilla, The Number of the Beast, Breaking the Law, Back to Black, Rock you like a Hurricane and so on? Could you provide a list or links to make contact with the more recent evolution of this great music?
Mind that I prefer (a bit) Hard Rock to Heavy Metal, Hammond use, power and operatic vocals than brutal, art and virtuosity over sonic attacks (classical, jazzy and ethnic influences welcomed), but I love string riffs and solos and a nice epic/hymn tone, even punk. Am I too old fashioned (or just plainly too old)?
Post by: Whoey on February 24, 2017, 05:22:15 PM
These days I tend to favour harsh over clean vocals, but more and more bands are doing a mix which is fine too.
Post by: WolfyW on February 26, 2017, 03:22:46 AM
I became a hard rock and heavy metal fan during the '80s, in my teens. I heard most of the relative material from the Rock n' Roll era up to the start of the '90s, but medical school, marriage and kids prevented me from knowledge of the later years, say 1990 up to today. 1990-2010 I was fixed on classical music, with occassional sessions of older rock material. Rock was out of fashion, just Metallica and grunge here and there, and all my music money went for classical CDs. I had the opportunity to see Deep Purple and Blue Oyster Cult at least. But I don't know most of the newer metal groups and songs.

Sounds like you' re in my age group. And your music tastes morphed along a common theme and path. Not unusual at all. I'm fairly out of touch with the latest as well, for similar reasons. Life kind of happens, and we don't spend money and time on music. One day we wake up and look around and realize everything changed. To do well playing heavy music in our day, people were expected to be virtuosos or go home. Then it went the other way for years. It's all coming back somewhat as kids discover their parent's old concert jerseys and wonder who those bands were. Seems it was no problem finding melody along with hard rock and metal back in the '80's.

Dio's lyrics, with their dragons, swords and Elves, were often quite profound beneath the surface. I remember feeling quite lost in my teenage years and heard Ronnie singing 'I'll give you a star, so you'll know just where you are' and feeling so good - I came to realise recently he is a bit of a father figure for me - albeit one I've never met, but all the same. He still means an awful lot to me.

No wonder Dio was fixated on Elves, since he was called the "Pigmy".
But he was a GIANT of music, singing heavenly way before Hard Rock and Heavy Metal were invented.
There is no great genius without a mixture of madness. You tell us!

Aphrodite's Child was a Progressive Rock group 1967-1972.
Group members:
Vangelis (Odysseas Papathanasiou)
Demis Roussos
Loukas Sideras
I guess you know the first two.
666 was their psychedelic concept album with lyrics from the great director Kostas Ferris (of the "Rembetico" film).
Premetal, but cult.

They were opening for Metallica and that looked to me like a double edge sword. They got to play arenas, but the crowd was definitely there to hear speed/thrash as Tate had to be on his toes with people at the stage firing out cigarette butts at him lol.

It's like Nightwish is not Nightwish anymore after Tarja is goneNot a Floor fan then Aleph?
I think she bridges the gap between Tarja and Annette nicely - seems to be able to handle all the vocal gymnastics live very well. Plus she is a lovely tall Viking Princess :D

I'm in the club! I wouldn't call myself a metalhead, it's a bit too restrictive, and funnily enough, if you'd forced me to name my top5 most favorite acts/performers, none of them could be considered metal, but most of my favorite music is (hard) rock and metal.
I've been listening to rock for close to 30 years now, and I love everything from rock'n'roll (Jerry Lee Lewis), R&B (the Stones), glam rock (Bowie, Roxy Music), garage/protopunk the Stooges), early metal (Sabbath), punk (the Misfits), Aerosmith, KISS, Rush, the Cure, Joy Division, Mötley Crüe, Hanoi Rocks, Maiden, Megadeth, 90's Anthrax (I know…!), Skid Row, Love/Hate, Voivod, Hellacopters, Strapping Young Lad, the Wildhearts, Kyuss, Coal Chamber, Machine Head, Deadsy, Spineshank, just to name a few off the top of my head.
My absoulute favorite is GNR, they were my very first "own" favorite band, I grew up at the right time for them.
Over the years I managed to see some of the greatest names like Sabbath (twice), Maiden (twice), Guns, Priest, Alice Cooper, Pantera, Motörhead, Slayer, Faith No More (I'm definitely missing some big bands right now, but whatever) and also gems like Voivod or Kyuss. Still, my very best concert experience was with Amanda Palmer (of Dresden Dolls and nuditiy fame :D)
Anyway, I love rock and metal, and no kidding even songs I've heard a million times can bring tears to my eyes. And not necessarily because of the lyrical/emotional content, but for the sheer love of the music - a good riff, a cool bass line, a nice drum fill, and I'm done. Tears of joy.

Disclaimer: this will definitely be a mixed bag for most metalheads, and I won't include well-known classics as it's unnecessary, and also won't be sharing symphonic and power metal stuff as you have that covered, and not all of these is strictly metal either, but I'm convinced that some of the bands/songs below might appeal to those who love guitar music in general and you might discover something that slipped by you so far.
With that said, enjoy and rock out!

Name your favourite Iron Maiden song:
Everyone seems to like Maiden.
My favourite of theirs is 'Hallowed Be Thy Name'.
Through 23 years and countless listens, it's still exciting and monumental.
Beginning quietly with a gentle riff, Bruce Dickinson (at his finest) singing Steve Harris' lyrics (best ever IMO) becomes the condemned man, waiting for his own execution. The song slowly builds with Bruce and the guitars taking it in turns to raise the tension. The song explodes into an amazing crescendo of dual guitars and soloing that still sends shivers up my spine.
If you haven't heard it already - what are you waiting for?
What's your favourite Maiden song?
Answering way too many years later... Afraid to Shoot Strangers :pok: :D

Then i got into all this Gothic and Gothic metal, yeah, kinda lame today ::)
Then i listened to my first Cradle of Filth cds and went on to Death and Black Metal now.
Like Amon Amarth, Parasite INC, Misery Speaks. Immortal, Burzum, Mayhem, Satyricon
Post by: Argento on June 15, 2020, 07:24:13 PM
I remembered something about getting in all that cradle and Black Metal stuff.
You never guess what kind of guy got me into that.
When i learned my profession, i'm a carpenter/furniture maker. Here in Germany you have to learn that for three years, first year is completely school, two years in the company.
So we had of course normal stuff like Mathematik etc, and we had religion. So i came in the first time and saw that teacher, long hair, listened to musik before class, had Dire Straits on, funny guy, really liked him. And then one time he discussed all that Black metal stuff with us, music lyrics why they paint their face etc.
And he played the music as well.
Like it, stayed with it.
Guess what, the guy who brought me into Black Metal is a Priest :rofl:
Post by: magentus on June 15, 2020, 07:53:52 PM
The Black Metal scene is fascinating. Very exciting and fluid subgenre which constantly seems to be changing and progressing. I'm a big fan of Emporer and Ihsahn in particular - the man is a musical genius.
