The SRP Heavy Metal thread

Lamb of God is my favorite band at the moment. I saw them at ozzfest last year and they were amazing.

I'm in the milder group I think.

Iron Maiden... offcourse, classic stuff.

If I'm in a hyperactive mood I'll listen to Dragonforce a lot. (LOVE their newest album) and Emigrate rocks my boat as well.

Fear Factory is excellent as well.

I'm the boring old git here then
Black Sabbath
Motorhead up to about 1983
QoSA
Taste

QoSA and nine inch nails members are in town tomorrow night

I thought this thread was gonna be about wedges.

I should add that I'm a huge fan of Amon Amarth as well, and I support their viking lifestyle.

Obviously, Iron maiden is at the very, very top of my list. I was there for the Somewhere Back in Time in Cleveland, OH...wonderful

I also like Judas Priest, and have enjoyed their new Nostradamus album.

Motorhead rounds out my top 3, but I've been a little disappointed in some of their recent efforts.

Manowar I like, Danzig is a classic, and Black sabbath is okay, but poor Ozzy is just getting old.

So much of the new stuff I just can't get into....Killswitch Engage, Mastodon, they all sound very much, if not exactly alike....therefore it becomes unmemorable.

But, overall, I've listened to Maiden since I was a kid....it is comfort music to me, and it seems like they're hitting their second wind with their recent albums which have been outstanding....can't wait for the next one. It's a shame more of the heavy metal genre never got the air play in the US which it deserved...instead, our radios over here get bombarded with bubble gum, hip-hop and country rubbish...

MANOWAR is obviously a great band but MANILLA ROAD is certainly 10,000 times a musically better act!

Vocalists like Dio or Rob Halford have managed to keep quality while getting old. The problem with Ozzy is probably the excess of drug consumption.

In my day lad, Ozzy was a lightweight as far as drug consumption is concerned - If you didn't die your heart wasn't in it !
He should take a sweet leaf out of Bill Wards book.

That and his Parkinson's disease.
