For those who like a thrashy 1983 sound, check out Shockwave (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euuKjkWxSyY), by Black Tide. (This is the clean version.) These kids are from 15 to 20 years old, which means they weren't even alive when this kind of music first came out.

And as long as we're mentioning obscure early-to-mid 80s metal: Nuclear Assault (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWFhlYfqj4Q), Overkill (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQiSkLugQPE), Armored Saint (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgGlzIB4a40), Die Kreuzen (OK they're supposedly punk, but just listen to that 5h!7; I wish I could find a video for Man in the Trees or All White) and Maiden with Paul DiAnno (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaS9swmiamg) (on Harvest, same label as Floyd, no less) or UFO w/Michael Schenker (Rock Bottom (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0SyKM6PDAM) LIVE!), FTW!!!

Also, Pink Floyd had some very metal songs: check out The Nile Song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sup-MP4HuaU).

By Rocinante's definition of metal, my fave five bands would be early Rush (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQtF85Y2YtA), Yes w/ Patrick Moraz (Relayer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AozwHCEKp6A)), early Queen (Brighton Rock (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sbr7N_-rSz0)), Zep (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2uSn3Y_doY) & Deep Purple (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwoTaisFMIE) MKII (or possibly the Ronnie James Dio/Ritchie Blackmore/Cozy Powell/Jimmy Bain version of Rainbow - see the albums Live! and Rising (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnyoy2w9atg); or maybe some Steve Hackett-era Genesis, like Dance on a Volcano/Los Endos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcH6U7RZAng)).

Please note that many of you have mentioned bands that wouldn't fit into my personal top five, but who are also awesome, like Manowar, Megadeth, Pantera & Dragonforce (what no Anthrax, Slayer, Testament or Celtic Frost?). P.S. While AC/DC is a very metal band, actually they are just playing loud fast Chuck Berry music.

Not sure if these guys count but Demons and Wizards are pretty good, and I assume they fall into the metal category(not heavy though)

They are built up of some members from two other bands.  I believe its the drummer from Iced Earth and the Lead Guitarist/Vocalists from Blind Guardian.  Don't hold my word for it.


Couldn't find a good video of it, just a shitty quality(the show itself is good, just not the recording) live version and this amv.

So if you don't like amv's just minimize it.

Thats pretty much the only metalish type band I listen to. :/

Although I do like Marilyn Manson's The Nobodies and Disposable Teens.  (even if he his a psycho creep)

I used to listen to Led Zepplin a lot, then I listened to older rock & roll, blues, and jazz and it got to a point where I couldn't listen to Led Zepplin anymore, I'd hear something like Whole Lotta Love and have to think to my self "damn...that sounds like they just ripped it off of such-and-such tin pan alley band".
That's why I don't listen to most older rock/metal-ish stuff, I can't listen to it and not think about how white culture has taken so much from black culture only to give back so little.

If you need me, I'll be listening to Straight-Edge, Hardcore, Punk, Indie, and "DC Emo". If you want to rip on the emo part, let me clarify this - emo to me is Mineral, Rights of Spring, Lifetime, Texas is The Reason, Fugazi, Sunny Day Real Estate, Cap'n Jazz, etc. (mostly defunkt 90's bands) It's not My Chemical Romance, Fall out Boy, Hawthorne Heights, etc. Those are alternative rock, post-hardcore, and "pop punk" whatever the hell that means.

P.S. I'm not Caucasian so don't let this offend you if you are and happen to listen to music that was taken from black culture.

I leave you with the lyrics of this song by Minor Threat, a great band. The song is "Guilty of Being White", you've probably heard the cover of it by Slayer that goes "Guilty of Being Right".
It's an anti-racism song, although it might seem the opposite. Ian MacKaye wrote the song when he was a minority at his high school of 70% blacks and he was sick of being picked on for being white and a minority.

Quote
I'm sorry
For something I didn't do
Lynched somebody
But I don't know who
You blame me for slavery
A hundred years before I was born

Guilty of being white

I'm a convict
Of a racist crime
I've only served
19 years of my time
Guilty of being white

Well, in all honesty at the time it wasn't something you really did.  Now, you can't take a tiny sample from a song and include it in your own without all kinds of notifications about where it originated, but when Zeppelin recorded "Whole Lotta Love" there was no real protocol for giving credit to Willie Dixon.

kozak6: Awesome comic!

I would say that the major thrash bands were Anthrax, Slayer, Megadeth and Metallica, but one could easily include Overkill, Testament, Exodus, Flotsam & Jetsam, Kreator, Dark Angel, Nuclear Assault, SOD/MOD and possibly even some material from bands as diverse as Voivod, Suicidal Tendencies and Helloween. For a nice summation of the entire sound and era, I highly recommend the new Black Tide album. These bands were all influenced by the progenitors like Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Deep Purple and Queen, as well as such NWOBHM stalwarts as Diamond Head, Motorhead, King Diamond, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Saxon, Tank, Raven, Venom and even bands like Tygers of Pan Tang (as well as such American shredders as Riot, The Rods, Y&T and Queensrhyce). [What no umlaut?!? <.< Sacrilege!] Also, although they came later, Sepultura is considered a major thrash act.

I also recommend you check out the Milwaukee-based hardcore punk band Die Kreuzen (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzUVBuZqrLM), who quite excellently and clearly demonstrate the extreme crossover between thrash metal and hardcore punk during the early-to-mid-80s era, when it was considered cool to like the Misfits and Minor Threat as well as Nuclear Assault and Anthrax, a condition that only lasted a few years, until metal went all LA-glam. As I said above, two of Die Kreuzen's best songs were "All White" and "Man in the Trees" ("Cool Breeze" the video linked to above, is also a great song); unfortunately, I can't find videos of either song. I recommend their October File (http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Vine/3258/discog.html) CD, which includes their first two "full-length" albums: Die Kreuzen (1984) and October File (1986). Also, note that the band's name may often appear as Die Kreutzen.

Have fun with your research.

Cheers!

Discussions about musical genres are a never-ending road that only leads to everlasting stupidity. Musical genres are invented by the media, so they can easily classify the shit you listen to. Joining the media in this nonsense of labelling everything for ease of disgestion shows a lack of actual respect for people who make music, even if it is as shitty as metal.

For me you cannot have a better representation of grindcore than Pig Destroyer for older grindcore, Gutted With Broken Glass for new grindcore.

I seriously doubt that wikipedia is the final word on any subject. That link was provided for the benefit of another poster who asked about a particular variety of metal. I personally could care less who the good grindcore bands are, we were actually discussing thrash. Many of the bands of that era wholeheartedly embraced labels like speed metal and thrash, to distinguish themselves from other bands and sell more records, T-shirts and concert tickets. I simply gave TinMan the chance to further develop his statement with some examples, as this is a common courtesy in polite conversation. Nice troll, Lava, I'd expect no less than your usual condescending attitude. Please refrain from trying so hard to be insulting, it's really quite beneath you.

Sometimes I wonder if your smart moments are the exceptions, or your retarded moments. That was not a troll, it was merely a remark about how bitching about what belongs to a certain kind of genre and what does not is an utter waste of time. The fact that what I posted is not something you agree with does not automagically make it a troll, so please stop being so overly emotional about it, geez.

Again, another nice try, but you fail as a troll. Also please refrain from using terms like "retarded" constantly. It really is beneath you.

It's always good to tell people to stop telling you what do, only to tell those same people what to do a few sentences later.
Makes you look really, really smart.

Again, I merely stated that a discussion about what band belongs to a certain genre and what band does not will lead to nothing and nowhere. If you consider that to be a troll, well, I don't really have any reply for you than: 'Haha!'

I wouldn't classify Tool as metal. Nu-Metal at the least, but that doesn't count.

I would also like to point out that Tool are a good band, and I will listen to them happily.

Fine... "Progressive Rock"

It's still labeled as Metal, when imported into iTunes. :P

Personally I like all my metal to be in one category, since I'm only a general listener.

iTunes is dumb about that stuff.
My music doesn't have genre tags and I don't use iTunes, most artists don't fall into clean lines of genres so I don't follow the genres anyways.

Amorphis
Threatre of Tragedy
Tristania
Therion
Tiamat

Most bands got softer on their newer albums, I usually liked
the older harder work more. This doesn't mean I feel confided to metal,
I can enjoy Armin Van Buuren or Mozart just as easy.

Nice!

If you also like Bach, you may enjoy this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lw5qwqtqzAM). Watch who plays what, and when they switch parts. I'd like to see a metal band cover this piece or some of the stuff from The Art of Fugue.
Title: Re: Your Top 5 Metal Bands of All Time.
Post by: Kaleo on July 12, 2008, 07:50:21 am
I would like to see metal covers of a lot of classical pieces, the key is an issue in a lot of pieces however. Needs to be all in minors in order to get the full effect.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hgk8pO7mIbs&feature=related

That is some cool stuff. I would like to see Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King (Slayer) do some classical covers.
Unfortunatly a YouTube search of "Slayer classical" only comes up with Raining Blood.

EDIT: You might want to take a listen to this (http://youtube.com/watch?v=TE5LJOOqIy8) as well.

In that case, I think some of the Bach Violin Concertos would be appropriate. Check out this violinist: Kyung Wha Chung - Bach - Violin Concerto - Amin - Allegro: link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qo-fN7Qs_nM)

Children of Bodom - Vivaldi - Summer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hgk8pO7mIbs&feature=related) That is some cool stuff.

I thought you might like that. I just discovered a new metal band to enjoy. I found that just by u-tubing "Vivaldi"+"metal", because, as you said, Vivaldi is very metal. I think that Baroque composers in general are.

I would say the Top Five Metal Baroque Composers would include:

Vivaldi
Bach
Scarlatti (the son)
OK, Scarlatti (the father) too
Buxtehude or Sweelink or Frescobaldi or Froberger

That is, if you like keyboards in your metal (like overwhelming church-organ sheer sonic spaciousness or intricately contrived clavi- or harpsichord barroca pearls of freakishly formed formal beauty). :)

I would like to see Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King (Slayer) do some classical covers.
Unfortunatly a YouTube search of "Slayer classical" only comes up with Raining Blood.

I lol'd at the second sentence. Slayer is indeed classic.

Violin concertos can be "metalized" (lets coin that, shall we?) easily. Screaming guitar shreds over that would be mind blasting.

And yes, lets all salute the Gods Of Thash. Slayer.

Hmmz, so I guess that would be:

Iron Maiden
Sepultura + Soulfly (I count those as one :P)
Slayer
Black Sabbath
Judas Priest

Then would probably go Metallica with their very first albums.

(In that list I didn't count any hardcore/metalcore. If I had counted them (though it would be impossible to make top 5 then), I'd add these:
Caliban
Heaven Shall Burn
Killswitch Engage
Poison The Well
L'Esprit Du Clan
Arkangel
Faust Again)

Not a big fan of metal, though the five metal bands I like are: Metallica, Rage against the Machine, Linkin Park, System of a Down and Fighstar (for lack of a better band to choose). Other than that I like all kinds of rock, including post-hardcore, mainly pop-punk, indie etc.

You had better not be suggesting that Stinking Fark is metal.

If you do think Linkin Park is metal, go get some balls and buy a Slayer album.

Ooh! A topic I can really sink my teeth into.

    • First off is Headshot. Chances are you've never heard of them, unless you're German, or at least European. Mad Thrash Metal band with heavy Slayer influences, which brings me to my second band.
    • Slayer. Only two words are required to describe slayer; FUCKING SLAYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • Then Megadeth, because they are awsome.
    • Then Black Sabbath, but only the Dio years. Ozzy is crap.
    • And finally... I dunno. A cross betwixt Helloween, Amon Amarth, Rammstein and Sepultura I guess.

Update: Venom are equal to Megadeth now.
