"True" metal is a sad choice of words...
But right now I'm really into Lamb of God Fear Factory Faithful Darkness (a local band www.myspace.com/faithfulldarkness)

I'm a metalhead. My favorites are (in no particular order):
- Type O Negative - Metallica - Megadeth - Iron Maiden - Fear Factory - G//Z/R - Obituary - Napalm Death - Nightwish - Anthrax - Godsmack - Twisted Sister - Rob Zombie (including White Zombie) - Guns N' Roses There are more, but I can't remember them all right now. Once Spitfire gets here, though, he'll probably mention a few that I like.

Oh boy don't get me started on true metal. I will say any band that plays in drop C and uses constant double bass that has clean vocals is not true metal.
Dark Tranquillity - Favorite band, From Haven - Current only Arch Enemy - From Wages Of Sin -Current only Children Of Bodom - From Hatebreeder - Current only In Flames - From Jester's Race To Clayman only Cradle Of Filth - From Vempire - Current, some CDs I don't like or only like a few songs off of. Dimension Zero - All Nightrage - Descent Into Chaos and a few songs off Sweet Vengence Dimmu Borgir - Enthrone Darkness Triumphant, Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia, Some songs off Death Cult Armageddon Soilwork - Chainheart Machine only Norther - Mirror Of Madness only The Haunted - One Kill Wonder only At The Gates - Slaughter Of The Soul only Therion - Secret Of The Runes and Siruis B only Hellhound - Ice Age Devildriver - Some songs spread out through all their CDs Testament - The Gathering, First Strike Still Deadly only Megadeth - Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good, Peace Sells...But Who's Buying, Rust In Peace, and a few songs off United Abominations Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden, The Number Of The Beast, Somewhere In Time, Powerslave, Brave New World, Dance Of Death, and A Matter of Life And Death Metallica - Kill'em All - Master Of Puppets only Slayer - Show No Mercy, Reign In Blood, Decade Of Aggression only As you can see I'm extremely selective when it comes to music. Even my favorite bands do crap I hate. |

You mean industrial metal like Fear Factory doesn't count? Since industrial is a genre... And Lamb of God doesn't count since they're metalcore? And also, I don't think of rapmetal and numetal as the same genre. Rapmetal is Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park's first and second album and numetal is stuff like Korn-album 1-6 or Slipknot's first (even though it's kinda more experimental than a regular numetal-album) And another thing (omg..  ) I don't see rapmetal as a mix of genres, I see it as metal with influence from rap...Thank you and good night, I have to wake up in four hours... -.- ****ing insomnia...

By hair metal I assume you mean "glam" metal, which is the more respectful term. In that regard:
Def Leppard Autograph Dokken Judas Priest (namely their album Turbo) Van Halen Cinderella Extreme Whitesnake It's basically all I listen to. Last edited by Ecto Jedi; 12-12-2007 at 10:05 PM. |

I enjoy metal, but I don't really listen to it regularly. Theres a lot of stuff I would probably like but have never heard of and don't have the time to find it all.

Alright, I guess because everyone seems to have a problem with my Manowar inspired call for "true metal", just list your favorite metal bands, whatever style of metal it may be. You can even go ahead and list Vanilla Ice as one of your favs, nobody will pick on ya.

Uhh... No... My fav-bands right now are the ones I listed in an above post... Just tried to show that "true metal" is subjective, and there really is no such thing... Uhm... Yeah.. Kind of what I wanted to write.. I'm tired...

Or even metal. I can't remember it have been heavy for...what? Last fives years at least.  There's so much of different types of heavy/metal I see a need for more spesific cathegories. I consider metal as one of the sub genres of heavy music. I usually refer music to metal if it's heavy and somehow emphasized in rhythm and bass section (prolly the same thing you refer to nu-metal. Rap-metal is a term I haven't heard of), such as Korn or System Of A Down for example. 'Hair metal' would prolly consist of genres I call heavy-, glam- or hard rock. I do listen to heavy/metal quite regularly, and when I'm visiting night clubs they are mostly heavy bars. Good bands have been listed here, but I'd like to mention W.A.S.P. My all time favorite.

Let's just say that "true metal (tm)" are bands that f'n kick ass and rock hard. Good grief, I had no idea people would have such a big problem with a stupid saying. Quote:

 I was just amused by the way your definition of the true metal clashed with your own list of bands. Opeth is also a band I've been listening lately. Almost joined to an opeth-styled band as a guitarist, but somehow the whole project died...well, that was over a year ago anyway.

I'm not a "metal head" per say. I'm into a lot of different types of music, but my favorite metal bands would have to be...
Embrace the End Between the Buried and Me and sorry...Slipknot If you have'nt heard the first two bands(assuming moooost of you have heard slipknot) I highly highly reccomend it. Coming from any perspective, they are both super talented bands...whether you like that kinda music or not. |

Metal only gets mixed into different things when jack offs decide to tag things onto the word metal.
Speed metal, Death metal, Power metal, Heavy metal, Black metal Those are the 5 basic types of metal and any band I listen to is one of the 5. Power metal is new, created for bands that are new but stick true to the 80's style, in my opinion they all suck but that's just my opinion. This other crap kids come up with I don't know where the hell it comes from. I had someone tell me Arch Enemy is "Metal-core" I don't know what the hell that means but from my experience anything with "core" tagged onto the end of it is garbage. Being as how Arch Enemy is very technical, full of riffs and solos I'd have to say it doesn't fall into that category. That's just my input. |

Oh I know, like Dragon Force...Arch Enemy happens to be one of my favorite bands. Arch Enemy has classical bits especially on their new CD but I don't see those others things you mentioned, thanks for telling me what it meant cause I had no idea.
