does anyone here listen to METAL ?, if so whats your favorite sub genre? Personally mines alternative metal and NU metal but I listen to groove and industrial sometimes whats your favorite metal sub genre.

I don't know, but seeing this got me to throw on some Hatebreed and Ringworm albums this morning. I think I'm going to skew a little older and throw on some Leeway - Born to Expire next!

I grew up on Blue Oyster Cult, Thin Lizzy, Black Sabbath - still listen to the old metal quite often

 

Lately, however, I've been more into Symphonic Metal - Within Temptation, Nightwish, Xandria (all European groups)...closest American group in that style would be Evanescence.

I am a very big fan of Tool/Perfect Circle/Puscifer.  Not sure what genre they fall into but for Metal they do it for me.

Currently, Gojira, Be'lakor, old 3 Inches of Blood, old Arch Enemy. In general, death, thrash, new wave British, and folk/fantasy.

 

Also, being from Detroit, I am obligated to own a Black Dahlia Murder shirt.

ALSO THIS

 

 

Tool is awesome. I love metallica despite some of the poor choices they have made musically and regarding how they treat fans. I'm also finally giving megadeth a chance and like them. Also I've always loved Black Sabbath with or without Ozzy. Dio did a great job after him.

I also listen to a little Tool and Hatebreed, but I will listen to anything from Limp Bizkit to Static X to Pantera to System of a Down to a bunch of underground Alt/Nu Metal bands.

Type O Negative is my favorite metal band. Would this be "Goth Metal"?

Ya - TON is Goth - others in the same vein would be New Order/Joy Division, Sisters of Mercy and The Damned.

The only metal bands I really like are Black Sabbath and Sleep, and/or bands that sound very close to either of them. I don’t like yelling or growling, so that kills most metal for me. 

I would say progressive, thrash and NWOBHM would be my favorites, more or less in that order followed by Doom, Death and Power metal. Never really been a fan of the numetal or rap metal thing personally.

I grew up on Black Sabbath. Everything else is...well...

All metal!  Actually, I really get into progressive stuff.  Between The Buried and Me are my favorite.  I do get into a few classics from time to time, especially Maiden, and Pantera are one of my all-time favs.

 

I don't really like the sub-genre labeling.  It seems too snobby for metal and if it's good, it's good, I don't care what you call it.  That said, I like a huge variety: Black Dahlia Murder, Revocation, Mastodon, Tool, Scale the Summit, Baroness, Killswitch Engage, Lamb of God, Intronaut, The Sword...I could go on and on.

Holy Wars is such a good song.

Megadeth has came out with some pretty solid stuff over the years. If you dig the thrash metal, Testament is my favorite of the thrash bands and have put out several quality albums over the years, same with Nevermore and Exodus. Heathen's The Evolution of Chaos, Death Angel's The Dream Calls For Blood and Annihilator's Alice in Hell and King of the Kill are also must own thrash albums imo

I’ve got Sirusxm in my truck and always have it on the octane channel that plays all kinds of metal. Then I have all the stuff I’ve got from iTunes that I’m always cranking up. No particular order but some of my favorite bands littering my play lists Red, Killswitch engage, Slipknot, tool, Nonpoint, Sixx a.m., the offspring, seven dust

The offspring are probably one of my all time favorite bands I’d love to see them in concert

From Sabbath to Iron Maiden to Damage plan. And everything in between.

I love playing this video for people just to watch their reactions. "Oh this is really nice, what a beautiful voice....OH MY GOD IS THAT REAL!?!"   

After the shock factor wears off Tatiana is a very talented vocalist and they are a really good band.

i like the doom stuff, sabbath, monster magnet, etc.  i like 80's metal (true metal, i dont care what anyone says)

but at my core, i'm just a rocker. i like meat & potatoes.  ac/dc,  hardbone, thundermother, bullet, texas hippie coalition, that sort of stuff. 

 

but since the topic of music came up, i want to complain a little.  when i lived in toronto, they had a great music scene.  for $80 i could rent a fully equipped  rehearsal studio for 3 hours.  i mean everything.  high quality amps, pa & mics, drums, a couch and a fridge, soundproof room.  every friday nite each band member showed up and paid $20, and for 3 hours we could play and write original music on the cheap.  not counting bass fishing, it was the most fun you could have with your clothes on.

now i live in delaware, and it's a musical black hole.  there are no rehearsal studios at all.  no one wants to jam or write original music. if you're not interested in playing brown eyed girl to a bunch of drunks, no one has any interest. i sold my strat yesterday to fund more fishing gear. i did keep my les paul though.  playing to mp3s in my living room is boring as hell anymore. 

actually, this state sucks donkey balls.   unless you own a boat and want to drive 80+ miles, all you're going to catch is dinks. almost all the ponds in new castle county are posted no trespassing, and the ones that aren't are over fished, or filled with snot grass. if my grand kids didn't live here, i wouldn't either
