Saw Megadeath for the first time live when "The Big Four" played in my hometown...was pretty much worthless.
Metallica on the other hand... wow what a show.

Anyway I love Iron Maiden.. seen them several time live and listening(and singing) Run to the hills live still gives me the chills



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

IF sucks for a long time now, but CoB fucking killed me.
It used to be my absolute #1 band, I can't even listen to one song from the new album from start to finish.

If looking from an absolute 100% melodic death metal standpoint, inflames sucks I guess. But some stuff they did after Clayman was quite interesting and I liked a lot of it. Last few releases they are almost commercial radio sounding though. Not really down with that...

COB is jsut bland these days. After are you dead yet their songs stopped standing out..

My thoughts exactly on CoB. They sound GENERIC.

Hatebreeder is still a fucking masterpiece, as is HCDR. Their new stuff, I can't even pull a solo I remember off those. InFlames I think was pretty good with Soundtrack to Your Escape, but I don't like stuff past it. That Eraser song is good, but that's about it. If I hear "Take this life" again, I will take theirs.

I still struggle to get passed Mustaine's vocals...but the music itself rules. So does Maiden, on a whole.

In Flames are pretty damn good too, though a different genre.

Vic Rattlehead and Eddie are the 2 best heavy metal band mascots in existence!



RaptorGTA on 17 August 2011

My selection of metal music or RaptorGTA's guide to his musical taste:

DIO: God of metal

Iron Maiden, Megedeth, Manowar, Judas Priest, Metaliica(old): Kings of metal

Sonata Arctica: Metal's version of Emo music. Only darker and not ending well for the girl

COB: Like most of you have said, old stuff was just amazing..new stuff..meh (i feel the same way with In flames)

Rage: 80's to late 90's: ok... 2000 to current: Melodic trash power metal? I dont know what you call it buts its awesome.

Elvenking: Folk power metal with some screaming.

Symphony X: American power metal, also has the best vocalist ever made ( ok maybe in competition with Hansi of Blind Guardian)

Blind Guardian: German power metal..wanted to write the music for the Lord of the Rings lol

Ayreon: progressive folk death metal musical act? Vocalist from other bands join to play as characters in concept albums.

Dream Theater: Progressive metal? Seen them a few times,,recently with Iron Maiden. Personally felt they put on a better show then iron maiden.

Ensiferum: Viking metal. Need a i say more? lol

Edguy: Self proclaim greatest metal band in the world.

 

Ok, I wasted enough time. Agree or dissagree with my little list?

Rage are very very underrated. Especially their 2002 and 2003 Unity and Soundchaser. Great albums. I'd call them just heavy metal or power metal I guess.

I agree with your previous post defining metal as diverse, but I gotta say I really dig InFlames; particularly Clayman, Reroute and Come Clarity.  Truth is, I don't personally consider them Death Metal (melodic or otherwise) at all.  I know people do label them that way though, which is odd to me.  I define Death Metal as something like Cannibal Corpse, which I personally think is terrible music (just my opinion).

Clayman will be my all time favorite but reroute and soundtrack are good as well. Come clarity I liked at first but it was quickly forgotten in my rotation. Seems the more they make music, the more watered down they make it...I blame the guitar players. They need some amazing riffs again. Soilwork did some very impressive guitar work on their latest album, after slacking for a couple of releases...

Agreed!

I especially love the artwork on Maiden's album covers, particularly the ones from Derek Riggs.  My friends and I would always see who could spot his sig (symbol) on the albums first.

Only on Sworn to a Great Divide, I hated it.

Stabbing the Drama is INFECTIOUS. Some songs, like Distance and Distortion Sleep are so good I listened to them for a whole week on loop.

Oh man, how could I forget Soundtrack?  I like it very much, too.
