Title: Metal Thread
Post by: Pigslilspaz on April 25, 2012, 01:34:27 AM: Because We need a good Metal Thread.

During Spring Break, I got an album that I had been waiting almost half a year for, Imaginaerum by the Finnish Symphonic Metal band Nightwish.

One of my favorite tracks on it:
Last Ride of the Day (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yE5l1Hz5ig)

The track/music video that made me want to buy this album with the force of a thousand suns:
Storytime (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5g8ykQLYnX0)

Also, I'm going to be seeing Iron Maiden with my old man this summer at Shoreline (Right Across the street from Google HQ, lol)

And before anyone else gets the chance to :neener:

This guy is amazing! Thanks :aok

As for Nightwish, the only one I really like is...

For more mainstream metal, this has got to be my favorite song...

Post by: wil3ur on April 26, 2012, 07:08:33 PM: Pretty Epic...

I also like the Manowar Album: Gods of War, it's a very Wagnerian Metal Opera, my fist stays raised to the sky for that whole album.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qj15NEdwB1c -- Someone needs to do an AH Video to this song... :rock

Also The Varingian Way by Turisas is another great album with a well blended mix of songs that tell a story of a voyage from Finnland through Russia down the Dneiper to the Black Sea and onto the gates of Constantinople. I know I've posted this song in previous metal threads, but this is one of my favorite albums, and definately a wonderful song.

And in celebration, two song's of the day, my favorite songs from Mötley Crüe and KISS

Post by: Butcher on April 29, 2012, 11:19:45 AM: I stick to 80s metal, Iron maiden and Judas priest - not so much death metal, anyone who can't sing can scream into a mic.

Top bands:
Judas Priest
Ozzy Osbourne
Bathory
Slayer
Divine Decay
Megadeth
Metallica before 1986

I tend to lean on NWOBHM and Thrash/Viking.
Title: Re: Metal Thread
Post by: wil3ur on April 29, 2012, 11:26:33 AM: Love me the Pagan/Folk/Viking sub-genre. More than anything I think I just like the instruments they work into their work. This band uses tin whistles, bagpipes, violins, hurdygurdys and all sorts of other stuff and blends it well:

http://youtu.be/84aJoL9IWd0

I liked the Album Spirit, I think they kind of fell off after that... but Spirit was overall a great Folk Metal album.

That being said "night wish", is awesome as is "eyes set to kill", "as I lay dying", and "In this Moment". For Y'all in North Carolina "Waking Tera" is a must see. Ive known Chester (Bassist since he was like 12) Yes its a Shameless plug, but hey its money well spent.

Look at the very first post of the thread. Includes two Nightwish songs (there is supposed to be no space) and I posted Aces High in the OP. Learn to read a whole thread before accusing.

Whoah! if my tone was accusatory- sorry it was NOT meant that way, but rather in a playful jest as far as Iron Maiden's "Aces High". I guess somebody got his prop spun wrong some how?:P Anyway.....maybe I should just use the smiley thingamajig's that are bouncy and all animated like right? *g*
