So, who likes their heavy metal bands on here? New stuff, old stuff, a mix of both?

 

Its hard to know what is construed as 'Heavy Metal' these days, but not so many decent up and coming bands coming through. Melodic Rock is a decent enough site for listening to newer bands, but find many just try to copy other bands, rather than be innovative.

 

Massive GNR and Metallica fan myself... will hopefully see GNR in Europe next year, with the original line up or close to it anyway 

I'm assuming these are all bands.

Fuck me I'm getting auld 

 

Never heard of one of them.

 

 

You're probably right, Al. Fucking tremendous live band as well we all know but as less will admit. But the funny thing is that back in 2001 whilst Yellow was being over-played I was, along with many of the lads in this thread, listening to the same metal (as well as Hip Hop and Nu-metal) and I strongly disliked Coldplay (and the song Yellow) until I saw them (and the song) play(ed) live. Been hooked ever since. 

 

A lot of good bands being mentioned here. I like a few Sepultura songs (as well as Soulfly). Had a mate who listened to them a lot. Kerrang of the late 90s/early 00s was excellent.
