Any metal Heads out there?

[Slade]

Manowar

I've always found "Orion" "Battery" and "Disposable Heroes" by Metallica great for furballing   

Check out their "Through the Never" live album.  There's a nice live version of Orion on there.

Flotsam and Jetsam
Judas Priest

See I'm almost the complete opposite.  Yes I like the early stuff, specifically Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets.  I do however enjoy parts of the Black Album and I really enjoy Reload. 

Since you prefer the earlier stuff, what did you think about Death Magnetic?

I am lean more towards hard rock myself, Guns N Roses, Aerosmith, ect and only occasionally lean towards heavy metal. That probably explains why I like Load and Reload.  Personal preference.  I seem to be in the minority when it comes to load and Reload I have noticed.

My father took me to 4 aerosmith concerts growing
Up. Their 9 lives tours and album were just fantastic. I have much respect for stephen Tyler and Joe Perry.

Would have loved to see Iron Maiden and Pink Floyd live in their time.

Opeth is a band that has captured my respect for heavy metal and for songs that really encorporate a lot of dark emotions and then a mastery of tranquility all in one. The band just has brilliant musicianship.

Load and Reload have some great songs on them.  They just don't have the same sound as the previous albums, and its a small pool of people indeed who like the early ones, the Black album, and Load and Reload.  And people have accused Metallica of selling out since the Justice days, that didn't start with the Black album or Load. 

IMO they just made what they wanted to make and if it was popular, fine.  I see no evidence of them selling out when they're still making half of their songs five minutes too long to be played on the radio.

they definitely went a different route after black...I do say after Black...because I love "one" but much more of a fan of the Garage days Metallica....

ever give a listen to Flotsam and Jetsam?

you like Maiden and Priest..... Flots is insanely good along those two bands style....(I have heard they are dicks in the real world...but I dont care cant help but Love their music)

I say even better...except the Priest song "Blood red skies" is my anthem....describes me to a tee
