Heavy metal

[wilson_sri]

Any proper metal fans on here? Im talking about old skool pantera, metallica, slayer stuff.

[Saloony]

Yeah go on.. what of it... your heading to an anti-climax lol

[Nick]

yesssss.. amongst lots of other music.

Plenty of perfectly viable "proper" stuff nowadays though, Meshuggah for example.

[Jim Mcrae]

Yeah, nothing like rocking out at the traffic lights lol

[NOVA_LEE]

im proper into metallica, looks odd tho when you can hear rock music comin from a nova lol

[wilson_sri]

Good to see a few! Not really typical of a nova owner though lol

Yeh got to admit Nick there are a good few bands out there. Trivium and shadows fall are pretty good.

Im going to see Down next month in Glasgow, not seen Phil Anselmo live since a pantera gig back in 2000. Guys a legend!

[Saloony]

Rock/metal coming from any car looks strange nowadays, but **** em...

Down, quality, ill have a look to see if there down this way. Recently seen Avenge Sevenfold.

[Alex.]

I do like a bit of the ol' Metallica, Guns n Roses and Motorhead:p

[wilson_sri]

Saloony heres the tour dates

http://www.down-nola.com/tour.htm

What were avenged sevenfold like live?

[BIGS]

depends what sort of music it is. cant stand all that shouting and screaming rubbish

[novautd]

yer, pantera is :thumb: i also didnt think there would be anyone on here that was into heavy metal

[AlexW]

depends what sort of music it is. cant stand all that shouting and screaming rubbish

Same but most of the time im forced to listen to Trivium and avenged sevenfold because of my girlfriends taste in music...

[Nick]

I've forgotten what it's called, but theres a documetary where some guy goes through the "family tree" of Rock/metal music , it's pretty interesting.

LOL @ metallica/Pantera being heavy metal.

[wilson_sri]

What do you consider heavy metal then?

[mowgli]

I once saw whitesnake at Derby Assembly rooms (3 years ago)
the highlight of the evening was the curry afterwards, the band were crap..

many years back when grunge was about, me & a mate followed a band in Oxford called Squid, who for about a year were nearly the next big thing. regularly we would cross paths with other local bands. there was a heavy heavy heavy metal band called sevenchurch....the noise could only be replicated by chainsawing a barrel of sh1t.... but they had fans

[Saloony]

Avenge Sevenfold were quality, really true to life but better than that, seen lacuna coil too, excellent, going to seen Queensryche this june sort of a cross between Rush and Bruce Dickinson. Im really into rock music in a big way, my collection is huge and covers a large range, but i draw the line at the comercialised ****e that Green Day have become... then MCR and other tripe like that.

The whole metal genre now takes many forms, there is no clear cut view to it.. i mean christ go to HMV and Nickelback are in the metal section, but by todays stands anything that has an inkling of a guitar chord in it is classed as rock now.

Well in my opinion, definetly not Pantera or metallica ! Pantera were originally a Glam/Hair metal band lol, they quickly buried that look and started making their Power Groove/Thrash metal they're known for. But they're also a slighltly odd one, their riff structure is often like the classic thrash structure, but it's pretty unique ! Metallica were just plain Thrash (bay area).. then they turned to more standardised Hard Rock . It's hard to categorise something specifically as heavy metal - But i'd say Sepultura is an example of the top of my head.

As you can tell, it's a pet hate of mine ! It's the thing i HATE about people's preconceptions towards Metal music, i often instantly get frowned upon for liking "heavy metal"... when it's really a hugely diverse category.

Of course, all in my opinion !

Gothenburg for the win :thumb:

[wilson_sri]

[ade]

lol I love the old Hair metal bands from the 70's /80's

Cannae beat a bit of Iron Maiden (the Bruce Dickinson years), Scorpions, Alice Cooper, Deep Purple, Ozzy, Guns n Roses etc...

The current stuff is all screaming down a mic until your voicebox explodes...

[ade]

Was listering to rain of blood by slayer in my van earlyer..

[Dar]

I like loads of bands. I don't know if these qualify as 'heavy metal' but I like them.

Tool - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hglVqACd1C8
A Perfect Circle - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23eZMdixAuk
Type O Negative - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuLt243AUKM
Babes in toyland - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5P6vRPuh50
Rob Zombie - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCVTbOISv1w
Korn - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvb_IkMmYFY

Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne, Megadeth, Marilyn Manson etc all go without saying really. I never go to see bands live thought since I don't like crowds. People annoy me:wtf:

[Benn]

Dragula is a great song.
Korn's older stuff is great, then new stuff is a bit weak now its just the 3 of them..

[R1CH]

Wouldn't say that i'm into 'Heavey Metal' but bought a few albums in the past ... Metalica, Slipknot, Disturbed, Murderdolls, Mudvayne, StoneSour, Drwning Pool, Iron Maiden, Ramstein, System of a Down ... seen Slipknot, Slayer, Ramstein, System of a Down before, looking forward to seeing Metalica at Leeds Festival at the end of August. Rock on !!
lol

[large_steve182]

im really getting into em.
stabby rib stab stab
system of an up
sliprope
dead featus

[Lauren]

I love a bit of metal. Slayer, Machine Head, Disturbed, Stone Sour, Korn, the lot. I like a bit of the mellow stuff as well, Incubus, lost prophets (mind you, only their first album), and you can't beat some of the old stuff, Metallica, Guns n' Roses, Alice Cooper, etc.
But then I also love a bit of dance and drum n' base. :)

Anyone gone to any festivals this year?

[Ash]

Years and years ago I used to be a massive metal fan, kinda grown out of it now... the mension of 'tool' tho has bought back memories and is currently playing at 11 :)

[Benn]

Awaiting metallicas new album, thoughtit would be here today... :mad:

[Ash]

Back in the day, when I used to help my Dad out on gigs (he's a sound engineer) I saw loads of bands, earthtone 9 rings a bell as does pitchshifter (I was at their 3 from last gig in swindon) I can't remember many now - used to do 5-a-nite every other weekend in one place and numberous other all over the country.

[Benn]

Pitchshifter where great, at a gig in pompey i met and bought the sing a drink..

[wilson_sri]

yeh the new slipknot one isnt there heaviest but im sure i read somewhere that corey taylor damaged his vocal cords while recording there last album, so struggles to roar as much as he used to! i still think ìts am outstanding album. can really see how they have matured as musicions and as a band over the years

[boyle_46]

hugh cornwall is playing very soon here in belfast , im into old stuff like T-REX , ZZ top , stranglers and that wouldnt think it for a 19 yo nova owner lol
