yes, I love it!! and I wish prince would jump into hard rock a little.. I would love to hear him play like that!!!!

Good metal and rock has been hard to find since the mid 90's (beginning with the death of Cobain). But I can't ignore Marilyn Manson, Slipknot, Mudvayne, Kittie, System Of A Down, Ozzy, Godhead.

Everyone must experience a good mosh pit.

I like:
-Led Zeppelin,Aerosmith,The Cult...

No, u r not alone...

I listen 2 Marilyn Manson, Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, Deicide, Metallica, ecc.....

I am into Marilyn Manson, HIM, Rammstein (not exactly
heavy metal but i recommend you to listen)

no way i love marylin manson , acdc (early stuff) , iron maiden , black sabbath ( caravan is the most amazing song ever), bring rock back!!!!

i'm all about that stuff.

i've been listening to NIN since i was 10 (1991). also into the new dave navarro album lately (not necessarily heavy metal, but he does a great cover of "venus in furs" by the velvet underground), along with system of a down, tenacious d (acoustic heavy metal?). manson's ok, as long as you realize that its all a character... an actor playing a part.

You're not alone, I LOVE metal. My favorite is Metallica, but I love Korn, Motley Crue (the original), Ozzy, KISS, Creed, STP, and A LOT more.

Redirecting from "General Discussion" forum to "Music: Non-Prince"....

Do I look like a repressed white youth? All kidding aside, I do find myself enjoying a good "metalling" every so often. "Led Zepplin" and "Black Sabbath" are the fore-fathers of the musical genre, and I enjoy them the greatly, if not for their hefty aspirings. Yes, they kick-started a long line of anti-social musical stylings ("Death Metal," "Speed Metal," "Grunge"), but where would we be if it weren't for such guitar virtuosos as James Page?

As for moshing, count me out.

my metal don't get any heavier than LIVING COLOUR. It's still gotta get funy like Kidd Funkadelic makes it.

Would you call Ministry/NIN/Skinny Puppy metal or would you call it industrial? Ugh, I hate labels. Still, if I would have known this music was technically considered METAL, I could have hung out with the stoners when I was in high school instead of getting beat up by 'em. Oh well...

we'd like it to be called "industrial rock", please. those acts are as far removed from metal bands as much as the rolling stones are. altough some al jourgensen's projects have been decidedly very close to metal. well, we do all remember when ministry went metal... the horror. however I still love to raise my fist to "filth pig" when nobody is there to see it...


but where was I? oh, you're the only one? not quite, but very close.

No, you arn't alone! I liketlikeit, special the ballades..., but also harder sometimes

and I LOVE ROCK&ROLL!!!

I don't know if they all can be "categorized" in2 Heavy Metal but i appreciate :
nin, marilyn manson, the cult, deftones, metallica, pearl jam, queens of the stone age, the reverend horton heat, iggy pop, cradle of filth, fight, ratm, led zeppelin, filter ...

Dr. Feelgood!

Don't like the too heavy stuff but really into NIN and Smashing pumpkins and wish Beastie Boys would come back!!

i don't really like 80's metal..i do like a lot of punk stuff..
i like some hard stuff..i actually bought slipknot's 'iowa..' it really depends on my mood...if it's done well, i can appreciate it...
i loved rage against the machine...

For me heavy is; Living Colour, Bad Brains, 24-7 Spyz,Mother Finest,Funkadelic('71-'76),HardCorps,Fishbone get my drift?

They aren't really heavy metal...more rock, But I'm a huge Jane's Addiction fan. I have a very mixed taste in music. Althought I HATE country music with a passion.

I'm with you there FANTOMBOX - Perry rocks. I have to admit I do like some of the skater groups around like Sum41 but they are not as good as Greenday and they are not really Heavy Metal are they?!

Kudos to the guy who mentioned Skinny Puppy...used to be my all time favorite and I actually just saw Ogre at Manray in Boston last year. Good stuff!

Other metal favs:

Genitorturers....don't watch em if you got a queasy stomach

Ozzy...have you SEEN the Osbournes yet?? OMG tooo funny!

Old Ministry...Psalm 69 and Jesus bought my hotrod

Static X...very good live

Ok i'm having a brain fart.....surely I can think of more!!

Ok, just thought of more:

Pigface

And if you count Janes Addiction I have to say them. But I don't really consider them Heavy Metal

I see now that we need to redefine "Heavy Metal". I thought it was heavy guitars that was loud. Am I wrong?
