Speed metal is if you're trying to annoy the landlord by banging on your pots and pans screaming at the top of your lungs. [/notalent]

That's probably the most ignorant thing I have read on here.  Congrats.

Indeed. There's a lot of bands in this list that I really like. I've been a metalhead since I was a kid, having grown up listening to old Metallica, Megadeth, and Maiden back in the 80s.

Yeah, I've been a metalhead for about 20 years. Started off with the classics like Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, etc, and moved on to where today I listen to everything from thrash, death, black, power, NWOBHM, etc.

I do kind of have a problem with the whole "speed metal" category though. I find its lines blur too much with power metal, NWOBHM, and maybe thrash.  And you can have fast metal that's not speed metal.  So I tend not to use it.

I would consider Blind Guardian to be power metal.
