^_^ I'm still all for steady pace rock'n'roll. AC/DC and the Ramones are still among my fav bands. Don't listen to metal that much, a bit of old Iron Maiden, Sabbath... I gave the BM a go, but I found it too pointless :huh:

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(DeathDude @ Sep 12 2006, 03:27 AM) [snapback]254528[/snapback]</div>I loved the Elton John cover they did on the A Change Of Seasons CD.

I heard a while back that a couple of those full-album covers that they did at gigs are bootlegged.. I would love to hear them to The Number Of The Beast ^_^

I heard one song they did from the Number Of The Beast album, and it was Children Of The Damned, not a bad cover have to say, here's master of puppets they did when they were doing the entire Master Of Puppets album.

As for the albums, ya can get them off their own label YtseJam Records, here.

So let me get this straight, Iron Maiden's "Number of the Beast" and Metallica's "Master of Puppets" are pretty much Slayer's "Reign In Blood"? (That being their most appraised album)

Well for Metallica that is probably their generally regarded best album. Iron Maiden that's debateable although The Number Of The Beast is generally regarded as their best, there is a lot of praise for Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son, and Powerslave as well, those two are regarded just as high.

Hmm...

What's your least favorite metal band? Mine would probably have to be...I dunno, what i've heard of Arch Enemy is pretty crappy...

No waii!? There old stuff may be crap but there newest album (Doomsday machine) is very good IMO.

EDIT

I think Dir En Grey is the crappest band i've heard. I saw them at Family Values Tour yesterday, and there terriable. I enjoy bands that sing in different languages but Japanesse just isn't good for heavy metal.

Dir en grey are one of my favourite bands ever! There is so much variety to their music, so many different influences from punk rock, metalcore, electronic, there's even a few piano ballads. Their vocalist has one of the best voices ever, he can do so many different styles, from singing to screaming. And the interplay between the two guitarists is incredible, they are almost never playing the same thing, sometimes playing completely different things, but it always sounds beautiful. The lyrics are also very good, if you can find translations of them, they are very cryptic at times and sometimes have several different meanings for one song.

Anyways if you were expecting a metal band you probably would hate them, cos.. what can I say? They're not a metal band. Their recent stuff is somewhat metalcore influenced, but they still are very hard to pin down into one genre.



EDIT

As for metal bands that I don't really like.

Hmm.

Metallica for one. Although their older stuff is decent-ish.

I don't like new In Flames much, although their old stuff is ok.

Trivium are awful.

Exodus are pretty awful too from what I've heard.

Yeah new Metallica since Load has stunk and agree with new In Flames, their older stuff is much much better, although Come Clarity their last album was decent not superb but decent, my least fav band though right now, Dragonforce cause of their awful vocalist bleh.
