[GenuineImitation]

I have to pick one from that list?

No. There's going to be more polls like the ones we just had.

If you already knew this, then, well ignore this post :p

As much as you dont like them. You cant deny their impact on many metal bands.

Slayer maybe, considering they invented Thrash.

Metallica, no. I would rather be stabbed through the stomach with a butter knife.

Just kidding...or am I?

Solid list, my prediction: Opeth will win.

Its not that they havent heard of them. Its just that they arent crazy about them. I dont think there are many ATG fans here. Im one though, but will probably vote Dream Theater.

[Catmandoo]

At the Gates made metalcore :D

[GenuineImitation]

At the Gates made metalcore :D

No. They made the form of Gothenburg Death Metal (a form of melodic death metal) metal popular. Many of the metalcore bands took their sound and added more "chuggas" and breakdowns to the music.

I almost moved to Fort Myers. My grandmother live in Bonita Springs.

My approved list, although I hope Opeth, CoB or Iron Maiden don't win.

[lightningmetal666]

Slayer maybe, considering they invented Thrash.

Metallica, no. I would rather be stabbed through the stomach with a butter knife.

I'm a bigger Slayer fan than Metallica, but Metallica started thrash. They started out in 1980, and Slayer started out in 1982. However, Slayer improved upon thrash.

Death ftw hands down. Chuck is f*cking crazy on a guitar.

[superpeer]

Death is on the list.

[Stormrider]

There are the ones I approve of.

Emperor is in that list...didn't you hate them ?

[Kage]

Emperor is probably the only black metal band I like.

I don't listen to them as often as I once did though. In fact, it's really rare.

[Catmandoo]

its a shithole :[ I only go to college here

[Stormrider]

Ah, my bad then. I just remember a comment from you saying you starting BM at Anthems... and that it was also where it stopped :p

Thought that meant you didn't like it.

To Kage.

[TojesDolan]

Actually out that list I just don't know a thing about Manowar, Dark Angel and Neurosis, but I'd approve them if I listened to them.

[Angmar]

Good list I would go for Opeth.

[metallicaman8]

Pretty solid list.

[Apocalypticon]

Pretty solid list.

Yes it is. I don't think there is a single band on there that I really passionately feel shouldn't be there.

Children of Bodom, Iced Earth, Nile and Liquid Tension Experiment.

[Apocalypticon]

Children of Bodom, Iced Earth, Nile and Liquid Tension Experiment.

Liquid Tension Experiment and Nile maybe. But I enjoy both CoB and Iced Earth even if they are abit overrated.

[Sleepy]

There are the ones I approve of.

:eek:

Kage likes the mettle?!?!

You betray Robert Fripp!

[Kage]

Man Robert Fripp is so much heavier and more evil than metal.

[Sleepy]

Man Robert Fripp is so much heavier and more evil than metal.

Actually true, in most cases. Ah, irony.

Yeah, exactly. It's so true it hurts.

Children of Bodom, Iced Earth, Nile and Liquid Tension Experiment.


Wtf man !:mad:

What have you heard from them ?!

[Cocaine]

Burnt Offerings.

They're decent, I guess. I just don't think they're anywhere close to being top anything.

[Stormrider]

Hmm. Burnt Offerings is up there with my favorites, top 3 actually. But if you want to just check out ATLEAST one more album, get Night of the Stormrider, which is my favorite, or Horror Show. Which excells in the vocal department and just owns overall.

Please check them out. :p

I just might hurt you if you son't like the title track on Burnt Offerings.

[Cocaine]

It's not that I dont like them, I just think they're average.

[Stormrider]

Yes, I know. But if you ever feel like checking more out...get those 2.

[Apocalypticon]

I think there are alot of average bands on that list and Iced Earth definately surpass them.

[Acidicity]

Children Of Bodom
Manowar
In Flames
Sonata Arctica
Iron Maiden
Kalmah
Wintersun
Blind Guardian

These are the only real travesties on here. The inclusion of Ulver, Cynic, Death, and Agalloch has me excited, although the exclusion of Gorguts makes me pissed.

:eek: you sir are silly, those are two of the best bands invloved in this here contest.

[Kage]

I wish people would stop the whole "you, sir..." thing.

[TojesDolan]

you sir, are completely wrong and that was a pretentios comment

[actionfan32]

Opeth
Strapping Young Lad
In Flames
Behemoth
Sonata Arctica
Death
Metallica
Mastodon
Megadeth
Nevermore
Pantera
Black Sabbath
Iced Earth


Those would have to be my favorite bands in this. The only thing that bothered me was that Ozzy Osbourne beat My Dying Bride by one vote, but other than that I don't have any complaints.

[Riva]

:eek: you sir are silly, those are two of the best bands invloved in this here contest.

He doesn't like Power Metal would be my guess.

[rhcp pman]

Emperor is probably the only black metal band I like.

I don't listen to them as often as I once did though. In fact, it's really rare.
I think you should give Drudkh a listen - they're quite atmospheric and I think you might like them.

And Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss is an essential, but I'm guessing you've already heard it (and didn't like it).

[halfdeadhippo]

I'm a bigger Slayer fan than Metallica, but Metallica started thrash. They started out in 1980, and Slayer started out in 1982. However, Slayer improved upon thrash.

Death ftw hands down. Chuck is f*cking crazy on a guitar.
On M-A, it's got Metallica listed as having formed in 1981, and Overkill as having started in 1980. If this is true, then that would make Overkill the first thrash metal band as far as I can tell. The only problem is that if there was another thrash metal band that formed before Overkill, but never got really popular, then we'll never really know.

[Kage]

I think you should give Drudkh a listen - they're quite atmospheric and I think you might like them.

Yeah, I want to, actually. I've heard Songs Of Grief and Solitude, which obviously isn't their black metal side, but I well liked it enough and with all the love they get around here I want to see what they're all about.


Do they use a drum machine?

[Apocalypticon]

Do they use a drum machine?

Nope real drummer.

[Kage]

It sounds like a drum machine in Autumn Aurora. Either way the drums sound shitty.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Drum machines are annoying, especially when they're overused like they are with so many one-man Black Metal projects. At least Varg went to the effort of playing drums on Burzum albums.

[Tillius]

Why the hell has Pantera made this list?

[Apocalypticon]

It sounds like a drum machine in Autumn Aurora. Either way the drums sound shitty.

The drums on all Drudkh albums are pretty repetative and basic, but they get the job done and fit the repetative guitar style.

[Kage]

Their drummer is really really sucky. He's got absolutely no feeling in his playing. I'm still not even convinced this isn't a drum machine. He's one of the worst drummers I've ever heard.
