I tried to set this up so that you can pick yor 5 faves, but it probably won't work.

If you pick "Other", say who it is, please.

Hey, it worked, it let me pick 5.

Maiden
Slayer
Kiss
Venom
Celtic Frost

Just picked my 5: Black Sabbath and four other pretenders :)

ACFUCKINGDC, KISS, Sabbath, Priest, Motorhead, Purple (? Where are they)
Selected tracks from each, but when they rocked, they fucking ROCKED!!!!!!!

Hang on...
You missed off ACFUCKINGDC!!!!!!!!!!

I was going to vote for motley crew but couldnt decide which of the two motley crews to vot for.
All the heavy metal action I need is found on the Brilliant Fall Heads Roll album.
Use to listen to a bit of black sabbath and Judas priest back in the day

:applaud:

I don't listen to Heavy Metal at all. The little I have heard doesn't really do anything for me.
I voted Sabbath, though...a couple of good songs (that someone played me on the song-chain thing...) :beer:

system of a down

Quite an oversight there. :ohdear:

you didn't vote for them

Went for Sabbath, Metallica, Motorhead, Napalm Death and Other. All the actual picks are very conditional though. I don't think there is a metal band out there that I like consistently, it's usually a few albums.

Metallica - Kill Em All, Justice, Ride The Lightning
Sabbath - Early stuff
Napalm Death - Scum
Motorhead - We are the road crew, ya bastards.

Bugger, didn't see System Of A Down! First album is sublime.

If we are ignoring the irritating sub genre shite:

Carcass - Necrotism: Descanting The Insalubrious (probably got the title wrong!)
Entombed - To Ride, Shoot Straight And Speak The Truth
Machine Head - Burn My Eyes

I'll add more at some point.

Voted for Motorhead and Other (Meshuggah). Could have gone for System of a Down or Black Sabbath for their good stuff, but with each of those I dislike more of the music than I like.

Not a great metal fan per se...I like 80s US hardcore... and elements of HM in bands like Boredoms/ Earth.... erm.... Naked City were good. Napalm Death. Megadeth... I had an album years back ... had good guitar solos on it. I'd like to hear a metal album with vicious tape edits/ treated vocals / chaotic fx / science fiction lyrics ... etc.... oh.. that is Chrome - Half Machine Lip Moves.... that is like metal at points.Are there any more up to date metal bands... doing.... stuff like that? I wonder.

slayer, black sabbath, death, venom & napalm death

in personal chronological order:

napalm death - for sheer aggression, but i was disappointed with harmony corruption and everything that came after.
death - for ultimately, all things considered being the best death metal band
slayer - for reign in blood and that semi-slow one
venom - for all the wrong reasons
black sabbath - for their earliest albums up to and including the excellent Sabotage.

Discovering black sabbath largely closed my metal explorations, since I somehow realized they had everything covered. Lots of bands in this list bring back fond memories though.

I never found any real use for judas priest or iron maiden or any of that NWOBHM stuff, i listened to american hardcore or death metal instead. That said, I don't despise NWBOHM either.

Pantera on the other hand ("ooh the agggresion!", "the special power chords") - what a tub of wankers!! Their first album made me see through their posing pansy asses and Exhorder did it first fifty times better. I also hate ACDC and Manowar with a vengeance so I'm mighty glad they're not even on here :applaud: , but i might have picked Deep Purple if it was.

I'm also glad the whole pre-nu-metal, rap-hardcore-metal crossover garbage is forgotten. now for the world to forget nu metal.

You've just described Led Zeppelin's "When The Levee Breaks", my man. :)

Well... in a way.

While I'm thinking about this, do Neurosis count? Isis? Earth? Om?

Voted for Motorhead, before realising I had five votes! :grrr:

But, the again I hate Metal, so I doubt I'd use all five votes anyway! :lol:

Maiden
Metallica
Slayer
Motörhead
Mayhem (allthough Satyricon or Darkthrone are my favourite Norwegian black metal bands)

Metal was more a teenage thing for me, still give it a listen once in a while.

You don't like this?

It's like Metal, but for, like, men.
Grrr!

all are metal bands!

MOSS

I'd count them all.

What u need is the Touch Sensitive bootleg box. Bad heavy metal? I love it.

Seconded.
I'm so "bad", I've just been told to go and eat me dinner.
Breakin' the law, breakin' the law!
See you in a bit...

After reading about these on here, I checked out some of their stuff and it's fucking great. Are they metal, though?

Yes, and before anyone starts, I know chrome is a metal...ha bloody ha... :D

First half: Excellent.
Second bit: Bit "Meh".

I've voted for Judas Priest and Manowar.

I don't like their music - but, just for the way they dress.

No idea. :confused:

In that case, I'll definitely have Neurosis as my favourite HM band. It used to be Celtic Frost*, right up until Through Silver in Blood, but after that Neurosis owned me and still do, even though Celtic Frost made a spirited attempt at wresting me back with Monotheist. Honourable runners-up, Isis, Aereogramme, Electric Wizard, Sleep, Cult of Luna, Pelican and Ufomammut.

Favourite DM band would be Death, with honourable mentions for Carcass and Deicide.

*Am I the only person who always mispronounces Celtic? I bet I am.

THE FIRST HALF OF THE LIST WAS EXCELLENT, BK.
THE SECOND BIT WAS SHIT.
Anything else?

soz...thought u was replying to my post.

Did I star in this for nothing????

Before I watch, you don't get your cock out again do you? We've all seen quite enough of that thank you....
Also, is Stewart Home in it at any point...?

Look and learn.
And, indeed, rock!

I just don't get anything from that sort of music.
