Favorite Metal band,genre and why?

I've seen many metal bands from Judas Priest through iron maiden and Metallica to machine head, slayer, paradise lost etc.

But I still have a special place in my heart for Heaven & Hell. I saw the original Dio Sabbath tour in 1980 and then again saw their last UK performance before Dio was diagnosed. So that's my favourite metal band.

I have too many favorites to pick one. It just really depends on my mood. Slipknot is always at the top of any list, though.

Metal sucks. Brittany Spears rules

Iron Maiden. Most ‘80s metal bands that are still around today are obscure has-beens. Not Iron Maiden! Still making great music, still topping charts, still winning Grammys, still selling out stadiums, still kicking ass! 🤘

Mine has always been Def Leppard, closely followed by Dan Reed Network...

Not metal per say, although both rock hard when required. One's the classic Brit hard rock band, the other of the funk-rock genre...

So, the Leps. They come from my hometown and, back when they were starting - 1977 - I was a mere 7 year old child and, as I was playing out front awaiting mum calling me for my evening meal, Joe (Elliott) and Steve (Clarke) appeared with a bag of chips (think thick french fries) (there were no trays back in those days!) and we briefly chatted...and I stole some of Steve's chips!

They were impressed that I knew about Queen and Thin Lizzy and they'd recently started up the band..

So, brush with some famous local people...and I've followed them ever since... 'Pyromania' and 'Hysteria'....hitting the heights of classic albums...

Nine Inch Nails and second is Tool. But I absolutely adore SlpiKnot and they are probably third for me.

hmm that is a tough question.
Amon Amarth is a top of mine.
I dont really have a favorite band.

I used to be a big fan of Mudvayne. That is till i met the band and the singer was a absolute piece of shit.
I met Sid From Slipknot also and he was also a piece of shit.
Very rare to actually meet musicians in my experience that are worth actually meeting.
And meeting them just ruins the music for ya and you just end up hating it

It it has to be metal then it has to be Metallica.

I have too many favourites, but the one that stands out the most is Iron Maiden .
Bruce Dickinson's voice is a special voices.
Guns n roses.
Axel Rose has another special voice .
Evanescence is another great band

Many, if I should pick only one, it would be Rammstein because that's the first metal band I liked and the only I ever "loved".

You know some dork on this side is going to say Nickelback is their favorite metal band

Anything hard n fast..
the anti establishment types that didn’t sell out..

AC/DC with Metallica a close second.

Slipknot is a great choice

Gotta love corrosion of conformity. Very chunky southern badass metal. Kinda like Pantera meets Skynyrd. And that southern NOLA sound with acts like Pantera or black label society, crowbar, clutch, ect.....

there are many, I don't want to say which one because there a lot and I will forget some. I can cite Cradle of Filth, Marduk, Death, Kreator, Motorhead, Hecate Enthroned, Emperor, Immortal, Impaled Nazarene....

It's hard to pick a favorite. I like theatricality and humor in my shows, so GWAR is high on my list. Dark Tranquility is awesome. Anthrax is always a good time. I could do this all day, but I'll stop there.

I like Gamma Ray, they really have some amazing material. They are a German band with upbeat metal, and they have lots of addictive musical melodies. Kai Hansen has a very good voice, and at times hits perfect notes. The albums "No World Order, "Power Plant", "Land of the Free", "Somewhere out in Space" are fantastic. Outside of those, their other albums are still excellent with a little editing. I.e. skip / delete occasional bad tracks off "Land of the Free II", "Majestic", and "Heading for Tomorrow". The only albums I'd skip entirely are "Insanity and Genius" (except for the "Lust for Life" track, and "Sigh No More".

Blue Oyster Cult was/is my favorite.
I have seen 4 of their concerts in 74,75,76 and 97. They were the second band after Rush in the first live rock concert show I attended and all five were playing guitar at once!
Also their “Agents of Fortune” tour had to be the trippiest concert I ever saw when they came out with the very first laser light show in 1976. I have stories!😎

My genre taste is more towards progressive metal and that’s long list
Haken is one

I haven’t heard his solo album yet but I like Stone Sour. Shine down is pretty good too

Beast in Black. Sounds like 80s metal mixed with modern day. If you wanna call that metal

Slipknot is definitely up there on the list. I'm also a big fan of Darko US.

Babymetal.

Anthrax is my favorite metal band. Favorite band in general for me though of all time is the Foo Fighters. Second favorite band of all time is probably Red Hot Chili Peppers. I listen to a lot of metal as well, but yeah my favorite band isn't even a metal band lol.

Maudlin of the well. They claimed to write all their songs during lucid dreaming or astral projection. Or could be shrooms

Yeah, people like what they like. That's alright

Curious, did you like Corey Taylor’s solo album or Stone Sour? I liked the solo but it is a pretty big departure from Slipnot.

I like some of the newer bands, Nothing More and Shinedown. But more classic, I grew up on Ozzy.

Black Sabbath...

I'm not a fan of heavy metal unless one counts classic rock bands like Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple as heavy metal. I like those bands, but most heavy metal is... well, well, well …

Tool

Ooh i Love exodus so much!! That band is the reason why i get motivated to do stuff, sing, ect. My fav songs are: Blood in Blood out, The Toxic Waltz and The Fires Of Division. :}

Green day
Dead Sara
Metallica
Heaven's basement.

I have base guitar. I wanted to be a rockstar.

No idea because I'm not sure what exactly is considered metal any more. Always loved BLUE OYSTER CULT, but not sure just what to consider them.

Speed metal. Suicidal tendencies, it's fast and has flow.

Heavy metal. Black Sabbath, simply because.

New metal. ??? Do they still make it?

Too many to name but if i would habe to pick one i would go with in flames but slipknot is always a solid choice

Many...Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, UFO, Scorpions, Metallica just to name a few

My favorite metal band is my Wedding Ring.
LOL! (But it's true!)

Darkthrone is one of my fav's, especially their older stuff.

I am learning to like Metallica and Ozzy but i really like AC/DC

🤘[big]SSSSLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRR[/big]🤘

I love music but not metal. My favourite band are called chvrches.

It's hard pick one because I have never listened to any metal songs.

I rarely listen to metal anymore but ig Powerman 5000

Blaze Bayley is making good stuff these days

Coheed and Cambria. They're prog metal.

I enjoy all the different types and genres. [media=https://youtu.be/iwRwLxDGjdA]

Def Leppard is one of my favorite Heavy Metal bands.

Black Sabbath, Ozzy. I grew up on Sabbath and Ozzy. <3

Narrow it down please there's many types

5 finger death punch mine

Rammstein. Seen them live twice 🙂
