Gypsy Ram Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 So, enough being ostracized ... name your top 5 metal bands and why:1. Metalica. Only up until and justice. They shaped metal core and what came after. 2. Rage. Missed the onlLondon show. But man they innovated and had a political message. 3. Priest. Okay, there isn't a better band to do devils horns to.4. Maiden. Met the guys twice as a journo in Dubai. You can't get more metal, be down to earth and rock.5. Protest the hero. Well it's between them and between (this will get confusing) between the buried and me. Just because they haven't sold out yet.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuff264 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 ooo now this is a question that could take hours of thinking, but just quickly and in no particular order...1. Sabaton - Loved em for nearly two years and not had a chance to see them, missed there last tour and didnt bother with Bloodstock. Touring again next year though!2. Rammstein - Not had the chance to see them either, one of the bands that really got me into Metal with there amazing live shows3. Skindred - Saw them play last year, fantastic live and going again later this year4. Turisas - A smaller band, sort of Folk Metal kind of thing. Seen them play three times, always a great show5. Lordi - The greatest Eurovision winners, seen them live twice. Second time was a tad dissapointing as the crowd was just not up for it.Honourable mentions to; Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, A7X, Slipknot, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Killswitch Engage, Halestorm, Gwar, Ghost and Alestorm.I could name even more bands as well but I dont have all day....

RicME85 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Skindred Slipknot - Amazing live, such energy. Korn - Seen them several times, every time as good as the last and no difference between live and recorded which isnt always the case with live acts. SOiL - Another great live act, even with the changing lineup Dragonforce - Amazing live and the guitar play Trivium Notable mentions: System of a Down, Bullet for My Valentine, In Flames, Killswitch Engage, Lacuna Coil, InMe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite bands change all the time but InMe have sat top of the pile for a number of years, if you can call them metal really... I don't know...

RicME85 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I suppose they were for Overgrown Eden and some of White Butterfly but since then its definitely drifted away from that heavier sound.I took my uncle to see them at Manchester Uni after Overgrown Eden came out as he had taken me to see Korn and he wasnt expecting much, when walking out all he said was 'bloody hell they can make a lot of noise'.Dave's side project seems to have had a big impact on the stuff InMe are producing these days.

Dale The Ram Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 This is from a 17 year old so it'll give you an idea who have stood the test of time, reasons are easy.They aren't all thrash metal but metal none the less Black Sabbath - Ozzy Iomi and GeezerLed Zeppelin - John Bonham, JPJ, Robert Plant and Jimmy PageMetallica - Cliff Burton, Robert Trujilo, Hammet, Hetfield, UlrichMotorhead - MR LEMMY KILLMISTERSlipknot - Unique sound and loved them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave's side project seems to have had a big impact on the stuff InMe are producing these days. I do much prefer their new stuff to be honest, it's very melodic. The Pride and Trilogy: Dawn. I think Dave's solo career has taken a dive though, it was good at the start, now he's just recycling melodies and writing the same songs over and over. Have you heard the other side project, Centiment? That's much 'metalier'. 3 members of InMe and 2 other members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gypsy Ram Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 I carefully didn't go into obscure metal and hard-core. But if I did easily then old killswitch will be in there. As would btbam, lamb of god,as I lay dying and sick of it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
