I like the bolded bands on this list. I'm really picky when it comes to music though, and everything else. But espcially music.

Top 3 bands are, and in this order
Dark Tranquility, Arch Enemy, and Children Of Bodom

Favorite song, The Lesser Faith- Dark Tranquillity

Is that the album with "Vanishing Light"? That's the only song of theirs I've liked off the past I think 3 CDs they've done. Well liked alot I mean some stuff on "Soundtrack To Your Escape" was alright but I don't listen to it nearly as much as say "Clayman" or "Colony".

Yeah. I don't think they released anything else past Come Clarity. Their older stuff is good, too. I wish I had their discography on my laptop.

You would probably like Faithful Darkness, too. But since they're a local band my guess is you haven't heard them x)

Excuse me? Darkest Hour are the biggest In Flames rip off of the century. Their also a Dimension Zero rip-off, another band Jesper is in.

MMMmmm.... no. I'm an In Flames fan too and I love those guys, but I'm going to have to respectfully disagree. Besides, even the biggest metal fan has to admit that there's just not that much difference between alot of these bands. Just about anyone can accuse someone else of being a rip off. Metallica is just a Motorhead ripoff and Motorhead is just a Black Sabbath rip off and so on and so forth.

Darkest Hour rocks out hardcore and at the end of the day that's all that matters.

HAHAHA... okay I've been warned. I'm seriously not looking to start anything, especially with someone more metal than me. I'm just an innocent little geek. I'm sorry Spitfire, please don't eat my family. Also, I've never heard of Dimension Zero, so thanks for pointing them out. I love to hear new stuff.

That is true, but there's influence and then there's down right copying a riff from another band. And Darkest Hour copies alot of In Flames riffs. In fact every song of theirs I've heard has had riffs copied from either In Flames or Dimension Zero. That's why I mentioned it. What I said was rude though I'm sorry, I just didn't find that I was missing out or that they were that great. Hell one of my favorite bands copies riffs from Megadeth sometimes.

I noticed crap like this because I'm a huge nerd. Metal does not all sound the same. There are bands that stand out and those are the ones I like. There is no other metal band on the planet that sounds anything like Dark Tranquillity. Then you have bands like Bodom and Arch Enemy who are just the best at what they do and that's what makes them good.

Honestly I hate to call myself a metal fan because I don't like most metal bands but as far as music fan naming goes I have nothing else to call myself because most of the bands I like are metal.

Lol I'm not going to eat anyones family, and I don't like to argue about the subject but I love discussing it. It's hard to find a person to discuss metal with who has an idea of what's up because most people who like metal just like everything and that just doesn't suit me.

Since when? :P

I'm the only person I know who loves everything metal.

Everything from the old stuff like Black Sabbath to newer bands like Dead By April.

Everything from commercial bands like Linkin Park to extreme bands like Mayhem or Nasum.

I even like stuff that totally contradict what I believe in. Like, I'm very anti-religious (I don't wanna start a fight, I'm just stating that I am...) but still listen to bands like P.O.D. or Thousand Foot Krutch.

Isn't Metal frowned upon in Turkey? I'm asking because I once read an article about Turkish Metal bands and how they had a very hard time to get any recognition.

junkboy
09-23-2007, 05:47 AM
No , there is no such thing that i know.
Of course in Turkey there are ppl who does not like metal, or its followers. ( as there are in every country )
but the problems the metal bands here in Turkey face are not very much different from the ones any other band would face in another not so big country.
I can say that there are really good bands here espacially following 70s rock spirit ( which i am not a huge fan of ) and also a really really huge crowd of death metal.

Heh sure...
but probably it is cause that i have grown with the EU metal other than big american bands.
I cannot find the melody which is present in european metal in american music.
But of course no offense intended. Also i do not know very much american bands. If i listen and search more ofc i will find my types and things i will like in them too.
Btw, by american meant US based. I am quite a fan of south american power metal :)

I saw Finnish bands among few lists! Cool. :tthumbsu:

I'm more into '70, '80 and '90 heavy and metal (like W.A.S.P., Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Ocean Born & Wishmaster related Nightwish, old Amorphis, Children of Bodom, Barathrum etc.) rather than the current metal scene. Although I'm keeping an eye of the local underground bands ('cause I'm organizing gigs and interested in new bands). Some of are pretty good and few of them might end up being something big on someday.

Opeth and System of a Down are giving kicks to me though. I did lost my appetite for Korn after the Tomb Raider -soundtrack they made.

My favorites at the moment are Fall Out boy, Gorillaz, Green Day, HelloGoodbye, Linkin Park, Muse, Panic!at the Disco, Paolo Nutini, Paramore and Snow Patrol.

Pretty much modern-ish, but a wee mixture of genres.

I will sometimes listen to older stuff like the Doors, AC/DC The Who, Frank Sinatra and Elvis though.

I just discovered Horse the Band and I can't help but like them. Say what you will about metal bands with keyboards but I'm down for it. These guys like to have fun.

There's a high-larious feature on them in this months (new and revamped) Metal Edge, and it only made them more interesting. I was a little ticked that it's supposed to be continued on the Metal Edge website but there's just a blank page where it's supposed to be :x

My favourite band by far is McLusky, shame they only released the 4 albums before they ended it all.

Overall i'm into a variety of different artists, the dandy warhols, Nine inch nails, Machine gun fellatio, OOMPH!, Johnny Cash and Smashing pumpkins being amongst my favourites, and oddly enough none of those bands sound anything alike.

I'm also into Rammstein, Muse, The White Stripes, Gorrilaz, System of a Down, The Strokes, Everclear, Eagles of Death Metal, Queens of the stone age, Marcy Playground, Filter, Regurgitator, Porno for Pyros, Janes Addiction, Rage against the Machine, Placebo, Nirvana, Pearl jam, beastie boys, Simon and garfunkel, Violent Femmes, the hilltop Hoods, Franz ferdinand, Irish rovers, DDkrank, Winterrun, Dope, L7, Live, Stone temple pilots, Puddle of Mud and there are probably about another 30 bands I'm into, many of which are small independant bands yet to release an album.
