Let's Talk Metal.

The only death metal band i like is Death.

You are so not alone there! I'm a big old school death metal head..but if I had a nickel for every person that told me they don't like Death metal, just Death--I'd be rich.

Death isn't regular death metal. Maybe the 1st few albums..but after that it was like "progressive death metal"...I think everyone should give Symbolic a spin once...then go back to Individual Thought Patterns and even Sound Of Perserverance.

The album titles alone don't even sound typical. "Withought judgement what would we do? Perception would increase a million times"--I always loved Chuck's lyrics.

He is pretty much the Dimebag of Death Metal, and was even mentioned in a hip hop song!......just had to rant. R.I.P Chuck!

[BlackLagoon]

Almost forgot, for everyone that loves Chuck's guitar work but can't get past the screaming and screaching...check out Control Denied.

CD is a band that he wrote all the music in but had clean vocalist come in for. Fans of Iced Earth, Beyond Fear etc, will dig it.

5 finger death punch redid the song bad company.

Its not bad, but I like the original better...not too big on 5 finger, way too "trendy" and Ozzfest sounding for me.

yeh..that's it.. thanks Slayer..

It wasnt as cool as the original, but I still like it..
just like Killswitch engage doing "Holy Diver"...I thought they did a killer job on the song.

Agreed. I'm not a huge Killswitch fan, but Dio is not easy stuff to pull off and they did a fantastic job.

There are plenty of covers I like, and plenty I thought should be left alone.

Six Feet Under is well known for doing covers...The 2nd cover album is actually Back In Black in it's entirerty! I didn't care too much for that....but the 1st one was awesome. And they do a killer cover of KISS' War Machine and Thin Lizzy's Jailbreak back on the Maximum Violence cd.

anybody listen to thrash or early death metal?

Both Lester and I are thrash heads...I lean a bit more to the death metal stuff, though you might catch him with the "early death" metal here and there.

[Wicked Lester]

Actually I prefer speed metal over thrash. As for DM I like the mid paced heavy as hell stuff.

It's all about V E N O M


Venom - Welcome to Hell

[jamesenstein31]

I have a list that got published on the internet about the 666 greatest metal songs of all time. It was a combination of results from multiple polls, as well as several choices from fans and critics worldwide. Sabbath dominated, with Priest and Maiden not far behind. Ample selections from the big four, Testament, Death, Manowar, Motorhead, Opeth and various other classic acts made it. I tried to diversify it as much as I could, while remaining analytical. Metal is so vast and constantly growing, you can imagine how arduous such a task was.

Metal health, my friends. \m/

jamesenstein3, welcome to the Metalist of the METAL!!!!

[jamesenstein31]

YAYYY!!!!!
I didn't even notice the Venom video! Man, I have all the albums they made. Wish they'd come to the states. Next year will be the 30th anniversary of Welcome to Hell. They should tour that. I'd also love to see At War With Satan played in it's entirety. I knew there would be some metallers among the classic horror nuts. I see Chaney playing his organ on the music logo. Think he would have dug the many metal songs about him?

OZZY!

I saw Ozzy for the first time last night and it was a great show. It was a mix of classic Ozzy and Sabbath with one song from his new album "Scream". A metalhead buddy refused to go saying Ozzy was washed up and was terrible live. What I saw last night was a dynamic show from a 60 year old singer. I have been a fan of Ozzy since Blizzard/Diary and it was great to finally see him live.

Metal Madness in Baltimore last night.

His new album was cool, I have 5 songs from it.
