My favorite metal band is probably Volbeat, although they're not really 'pure' metal but rather a combination of metal and rock n roll.

 

I knew I had forgotten to reply to someone in here.

I like some Volbeat songs. And I recall hearing the first song you posted from their latest album, but I haven't come around to listen to it yet.

I recall reading that James from Metallica was influenced by Volbeat's vocalist in the way he sings now, never got around to check how much true that was though and I am way too lazy to do it right now. xD

Yeah I know. It was a partial joke, but also I would argue that LP's first two albums are metal anyways. That is definitely one of the poppier songs though

 

Lol , Hybrid Theory was my "first heavy metal" album

Lots of people mistake Hard Rock with Metal so it felt like plausible mistake, to make the joke more apparent next time you could call Numb an example of Gothic Grindcore or something. :P

Hybrid Theory was my first heavy album too. I stole my brother's discman to jam that shit on the busride to elementary school

Nu-metal is shit on a lot even though it was the entry point for a lot of metalheads. Oh well, in the end it doesn't really matter

I started with Korn.

I remember listening to my walkman (mainly Sepultura's Arise)and CDs during a school trip and my friends told me because I was hooked to that walkman most of the drive: why don't you give the bus driver a CD of what you are listening to (he was taking requests and CDs) and I was like: fuck no!

Then a friend said fuck it and decided to disrupt a whole trip of nothing but Rap/Reggaeton requests and gave up his copy of Hybrid Theory. The driver put the album, the students in the front heard a few seconds, moaned and bitched about it, and screamed: "pull that shit off!" and the driver did and somehow my friend's album was never seen again!

Arguably one of the best heavy metal songs ever

Who cares if it's basic bitch

This is too basic to deserve a reply :P
