Does anyone rate Saxon? A NWOBHM band. I wanna know before I blow 50cents on a cd of theirs.

I like them quite a bit, a few other people said they did in the thread on them, by a few I mean urban..=/. Still good stuff though.

Well one song

But 747 Strangers In The Night is a bloody good song

I dislike a huge margin of metal... Because a lot of it just seems like the most unappealing form of music imaginable... However exceptions are.

Black Sabbath
Iron Maiden
Van Halen
Metallica
Slayer
Pantera

And if proto metal counts.

Jethro Tull
Funkadelic (you heard me right)
Uriah Heep
Thin Lizzy

I have a hard time defining metal...I watched a VH1 show listing the 20 best metal bands and didn't agree that some of the 20 bands were metal. I like a lot of metal bands (Megadeth, Pantera, Testament, Slayer, etc.) and a lot of rock bands as well. I consider bands like Def Leppard, Van Halen and G N' R (old band) to be rock, not really metal. However, my favorite band is Aerosmith even though I listen to a lot of heavy stuff. I guess good music is just good music, and doesn't really need to be labeled...lol.

boo boo it's spelled Sunn O))) :p:

Sunn O))) are not metal!

theyre great though. hmmm...

i actually dislike most metal, though i would like to add Khanate, Neurosis, and Sika Redem to this thread.

Sunn O))) are like...doom metal.
And they suck hard.

RATM is like Rapcore, not metal.

Funk metal.

No they don't.

Rapcore is a lame term, even so it's considered a part of metal.

I consider RATM funk metal, or alt metal.

Yeah they do.
Is it not opinion boo boo?

How can you tell me they don't suck, when I think they do.
I respect the fact that you like them. I think they suck.
Don't argue with me like you are going to prove me wrong.

I have never heard RATM be considered to be metal. Whatever, its just opions.

Flotsam and Jetsam

Yes, he's great and so is SYL, but incase you haven't heard, there has been a rumor that SYL is done for good and that this will be their last album.Either way, I can expect to hear some more good stuff from Devin whether it's solo or otherwise.Do you think that SYL is done for good though?I'm just wondering what another SYL fan might think/know.

i agree, they really don't suck, and they are amazing live

:whythis: Wow, I guess you're one of those long time fans of MEGADETH just like I am, huh?:rolleyes:

lol.

I have heard that rumour...I dunno. It's hard to know what Devin's thinking about, he seemed to be enjoying himself at Donnington. The new album is ment to be along the same lines as the "Heavy as a Really Heavy Thing" album, which for most people is their worst album as a band, but I quite liked it, "S.Y.L" is a great song off that album. Their newer stuff is my prefered work, but that's just me. If it the end of SYL then i'll be upset, but hopefully he'll do more solo work...So I don't know much more than you mate...

wow, do you feel better now

Well, I guess I should be since I corrected a mistake that only a "metal idiot" could make in the metal community/society on a thread specifically dedicated to Heavy Mother F'n Metal!!!Oh yes, I feel damn good now.Dave Mustaine and the rest of MEGADETH would be quite damn proud!!!

Obviously it's up to him and the rest of S.Y.L., but if he does go back to the solo route, I hope it's also towards the heavy side like S.Y.L. is.For Devin Townsend band songs I really like the song Irish Maiden, so when I burnt myself a disc of Devin Townsend classics, I included that as the 1st song.I also included songs such as these if you know any of them:

-Hide Nowhere.
-Traveller.
-Suicide.
-Earth Day.
-The Sinner (live).
-Seventh Wave.
-Depth Charge.
-Triumph.
-War.
-Storm.

I've already heard some of the album by successfully downloading most of the songs, although I haven't heard all of each song because I didn't burn them yet, ya see?The new album is called The New Black and I have all songs downloaded and stored except for Hope and You Suck.Each disc I have is 80 minutes so I also will include other songs on this disc such as A.A.A., All Hail The New Flesh, Home Nucleonics, Detox and Underneath The Waves, among others to complete the full 80 minute disc.From what I've heard (listened to, not critics articles) The New Black is pretty heavy, with many fast paced and insane beats, so I can't wait till I finally get it all downloaded and burned already!!!I'm new to downloading and all that nonsense so I actually do own the store purchased discs Alien an
