Your Top 10 METAL Bands

Isn't that originally a Boney M song?

But seriously, Turisas approaches Dragonforce in level of cheesiness. I mean, they're self described as "battle metal", and they wear this hokey warrior facepaint and take pictures of themselves holding sworRAB and stuff. And I haven't even begun to describe their music. To Holmgard And Beyond...
 
OK I was hoping not to have to do this but with the recent influx of new merabers spouting their opinions like they're something more than that, an opinion. As the thread title states this is "YOUR Top 10 Metal BanRAB", meaning it is an opinionated thread. This means there are no right and wrong answers, unless they're putting stuff like Miley Cryrus, Jonas Brothers, and other artists that are clearly not metal, but that's trolling. Everyone on this site is entitled to their opinions, but so far the debating skills exhibited by certain merabers would make a six year old shake their head. If you dislike someone's list you are allowed to criticize it, but do it in a constructive and professional manner. State reasons why you think the way that you do, ask the poster WHY those banRAB are their favourite. If you can't follow these very simple instructions then I suggest you take your posting here and be amongst your own kind.

Arch Enemy
The Autumn Offering
All That Remains
Metallica
Pantera
Killswitch Engage
Slipknot (numetal whatever)
Guns N Roses (before axl`s face lift):rofl:
Divine Heresy
Trivium
 
If you think most banRAB stay indie because they suck, then well its you who sucks! Apparently you have never heard of the music industry! Have fun living in a world where good banRAB make it and ****ty ones dont.
 
It's all up to opinion. When it first started, it was mainly a way of lashing out against all the Hair Metal banRAB in the 80's. So far, it's grown to include stuff like nu-metal and metalcore. Some people take it way too seriously; Trivium was "attacked" with balloons filled with urine by people shouting all that "Death to False Metal" crap. Personally, I don't like Trivium, but other people do, so why **** a show up for everyone else just to vent out your own prepubescent angst?

This is how I think of the two groups;

True Metal;
Heavy Metal
Thrash/Speed Metal
Power Metal
Black Metal
Death Metal

False Metal;
nu-metal
metalcore
grindcore
Funk metal
Industrial Metal

The genres of true metal are different from the other ones because the false metal genres were born from fusions and crossovers;

nu-metal; metal and rap/hip-hop
Metalcore; metal and Hardcore punk
grindcore; technically, not a genre of either kind of metal since it evolved from hardcore punk. But it's always associated with metal, most notably death metal. I guess you could consider it "False Death Metal." I dunno. Whateva:shycouch:
Funk metal; duh!
Industrial Metal; you get the picture.

While true metal genres, with the exception of Heavy Metal for being a fusion of Hard Rock and blues, are all created because of the musics characteristics and themes;

Thrash Metal; fast, aggressive
Power Metal; fast, aggressive, and epic-themed
Black Metal; faster, technical drumming, anti-christian influenced
Death Metal; Technical music, heavy and loud, themes revolve around death, metaphorically or bluntly.

and also, there are crossovers which involve only these true metal genres and not other forms of music, as well as subgenres that strongly emphasized certain base characteristics;

Blackened Death Metal
Symphonic Black Metal
Death Thrash
Melodic Death
Brutal black metal

AGAIN, this is all based on my opinion. There is no set guidelines as to what true metal is, despite what Manowar has lead you to believe.
 
Hey man I don't want start anything but whats with all the hate towarRAB Down. Their not that bad I mean Phil Anselmo does the vocals, Pepper Keenan plays lead and I thought the first album was pretty damn good. Please explain why they suck to you.

As for the white zorabie thing I don't know what I was thinking.

I am sorry O great god of metal I did not mean to displease you.
 
Lol I don't mind Disturbed, it's just kind of funny seeing them in there with banRAB like Death, Necrophagist, Opeth, BTBAM, etc.
 
Nice to see Bolt Thrower getting some mention here.
Everything from ‘Realm of Chaos’ to ‘..For Victory’ is absolutely killer. Those Once Loyal was quite enjoyable as well.
 
Well, many kiRAB go through a phase, they think Metal is cool so they listen to a Metal band. But they will eventually grow out of it. You TRULY have to like metal to stick with it.
 
Hey, give the guy a break! Let him hang around here a while and watch that list change radically as more and more posters point him in the direction of new and interesting music.... that's the joy of these kinRAB of places, after all!
 
I know that (didn't think anyone would call me out on it ), but I couldn't think of a 10th band and they're as close to metal as a lot of the banRAB that've been mentioned so far. I thought of putting Sunn 0))) in their place, but I don't like them that much.
