Just a side note on Iron Maiden: Some also hail "Piece of Mind" (sic) as their greatest album.... I tend to agree :)

It is one of my favourites too. :) But compared to Powerslave and Seventh Son, lot more people like those albums than Piece of Mind unfortunately, (Songs that hurt Piece of mind unfortunately is the too chessy quest for fire and To Tame A Land which isn't that great of an epic compared to other written by Steve Harris) least from many of the posts have seen on different boards, another one that also gets a lot of praise forgot to mention was Somewhere in Time, another stellar album.

So...if I may be so bold as to ask for guidance from all of you: what are some bands slightly reminiscent to Fear Factory, Mudvayne, or Slayer that you think i'd like?

Oh, and I forgot to mention Rammstein as one of my favorites, those guys freaking rock! :w00t:

One of my life's dreams is to go to one of those...

Mine would be to go to an Iron Maiden show, it's breathtaking with the amount of hardcore fans, if only they would visit Western Canada, sigh.

I know this girl who got to see Iron Maiden live...the only reason she really went was because Funeral For A Friend were the support act! It's so unfair! I hate Funeral For A Friend.

It's not much better this tour either, they got Trivium opening for them in Europe and Bullet For My Valentine in North America, bleh on the support bands, but really who goes to see a support band at an Iron Maiden Concert. :P Very few people.

Granted would be nice if they got someone like Megadeth like they did in 98 or even during the Brave New World Tour with Queensryche and Halford.

^_^ 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:

By slowing down, I meant that I have started to listen music that is usually slower, darker, less agressive, moodier. But that's just the top of the iceberg. I listen a lot of music, not just metal.
