Hey ya’ll,
 

My playlist is Judas Priest, Metallica, Black Sabbath, Pantera, Rammstein, TOOL, Slipknot, Slayer, and I enjoy many others. 
 

Genuinely like all music though. Grew up listening to Country

Symphonic Metal is my game

Delain, Epica, Nightwish, Within Temptation and Xandria are my main groups...but there's others out there.

 

Closest any popular group in the US gets to that is Evanescence...who toured with Within Temptation on their European leg in 2021...and Amy Lee has done duets with Sharon den Adel (WT's singer) a couple times.

Looks like a good list to me. I also enjoy Korn, Godsmack, Disturbed, Stoned Sour, Chevelle, several others. 

Back in the 90's I loved Pantera, also really like Sepultura, NIN, Megadeath, White Zombie, Anthrax and possibly more that I can't think of off the top of my head. While maybe not on the "metal" level, I also enjoyed me some Soundgarden, Nirvana, AIC, STP, Pearl Jam, Metallica, and I'm sure I missed some there as well.

 

The only time I listen to music these days is on long car rides and 99% of the time I am with the family so it's usually something we can all agree on, which isn't heavy metal.

 

Every now and again if I'm on the couch by myself I will pull up some stuff on Youtube and reminisce about the good ol days.

Know these and like their stuff ??.  Afraid I don’t know the others, I’ll have to look.

Soundgarden

Used to LOVE soundgarden. Still listen to them sometimes. Chris Cornell was an amazing singer, RIP.

I think some people could argue that some of the bands I listed are not quite metal either

 

I enjoy a lot of metal, but my tastes demand melody and 'singing' and reject screaming, growling, yelling, etc.  I enjoy quite a bit of the classic metal and nu-netal bands mentioned above.  I am a sucker for some of the best  vocalists....Dickinson, Dio, Halford...could sing Julie Andrews covers and I'd listen to them

 

I can be snobbish about my tastes... also contradicting and illogical...but I am always correct...LOL

All these ladies have incredible voices...rarely is there growling male vocals and even then it's more add-on or backing rather than up front.

 

Sharon den Adel - Within Temptation

Charlotte Wessels - Delain

Tarja Turunan - Nightwish (first vocalist)

Floor Jansen - Nightwish (current vocalist)

Cousin Eddie is a metal head. Me, not so much.

 

 

Back in my day ?

 

Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Kiss, & The Motor City Madman.

 

Just an aside - Within Temptation is currently touring with Iron Maiden

 

I got my ticket for the October 4th concert in Minneapolis...unfortunately it's one of the dates that IM won't be with them. (sighs)

Oh boy….

 

That would be a good one. Iron Maiden is another great. “Fear of the Dark” was like one of the introductory metal songs for me.

Closest they get to MO is Tulsa, OK on Sept 15

No WT on that one...Trivium (heavy metal band out of Florida) is with them

 

Though a longer trip - Oct 3 in Sioux Falls, SD, it's IM and WT

Good mix of hard rock, classic rock and alternative on this thread.

Mastodon, Meshuggah, The Locust are few I currently listen to. Sabbath, Maiden, and Judas Priest are groups I've really liked. I wouldn't consider myself a metal head though. The first track off Black Sabbath's first album might be the most metal thing I ever heard. 

 

As a kid I listened to Cream, Hendrix, some Sabbath. Not much now.

No, it’s just downright spooky. I feel like wherever I am, lights need to be on or the sun needs to be out when I listen to it. That should go on the “What are you scared of?” Thread

"Beaker Street," hosted by Clyde Clifford, will air from 9 p.m.-midnight Littlerock Arkansas!

 

i blame my hearing (or lack of) on a Metallica concert.

 

maybe Gun/Roses.  i love the stuff of my youth.  i do however wish i had the foresight to stuff hearing plugs in my ears.  i remember concerts being very inexpensive.  but the cost to my hearing might not be worth the cost of admission.  i didnt do myself any favors.

I'm chalking mine up to the November 1981 Foghat/Blue Oyster Cult concert I attended...I was in 'The Pit' for the whole thing.

I used to be a big metalhead. My general rule was if it doesn't raise demons from hell, it's probably not for me. I still play some time to time. You may find bands like Testament, Exodus, Megadeth, Slayer, Death Angel, Heathen, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Dio, Fates Warning in my playlist time to time as well as many of the older metal bands like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple etc who generally classify as rock these days.

 

I play more prog and jazz and some blues these days.

Still have a chance - even though 3 of the original members aren't with them anymore (keyboardist Al Lanier died in 2013, the Bouchard brothers left the end of 81) - as long as Eric and 'Buck' are still there, it's still BOC.
