-=The All-Purpose METAL Thread=-

I thought this was a metal thread...

[Man In Black]

I thought this was a metal thread...

what exactly does that mean? we've talked about metallica, Slayer, Mastodon, Iron Maiden and a bunch of others.....none of those are metal?

As far as Iron Maiden day, I don't have any full albums, but Im adding the trooper and run to the hills to my playlist as I type. :D

[Deathstroke]

Don't worry, I'm sure there will be more Iron Maiden days to come.

[Arrjay]

So, let's discuss Metallica...

Okay.

What are your thoughts on the new album?

Not sure yet.

Did you like their last album (St. Anger)?

.
Nope. It was shit.

What's your favorite Metallica song?

Enter Sandman. Or One.

Do you subscribe to the school of "Metallica sold out"?

Most bands that circulate their music like Metallica have.

Do you prefer new or old Metallica?

Old. Definitely.

Which bassist was best, Cliff, Jason or Rob?

Cliff.

[Man In Black]

Don't worry, I'm sure there will be more Iron Maiden days to come.

What's their overall best album, would you say? I want to get a playlist of nothing but their best songs...I know about The Trooper and Run to the Hills, other than those im completely in the dark on maiden.

TheLazy is right about Mastodon being the new face of metal. They are different from Metallica in many ways, but they remind me of Metallica's passion and innovation during the 1980s.

Indeed.

These guys came to our town recently and they were freaking terrifying.

[Man In Black]

Indeed.

These guys came to our town recently and they were freaking terrifying.

As I said earlier, I'd call trivium or MachineHead the new face of metal before mastodon

imo, the new face of metal has to be somewhat marketable to a mass audience....and Mastodon just plain isnt

[Brad Barton]

He does infrequent updates, which I find to be a little bit difficult to follow, as I don't often frequent the Music forum (or didn't, I'm trying to keep up with it).

Wait, is the beetheb actually banned right now?

Yup, got my ass slapped with a 24 hour ban...though I probably deserved it, sometimes I spew first and think about it later. ;)

And his Hard Rock/Heavy metal Thread is already waaaay in, so we'll leave em separate....

[Brad Barton]

Oh hell yeah! the best just got better!

So as it stands, next Sunday I will be at wembley watching Mastodon, Metallica and Machine Head. and some crappy band called Him <3 that suck

This is going to be the metal event of the century. So who wants to start taking bets, they start with Imperium or Clenching Fists of Dissent

Actually, I'm more wondering if Tallica are going to bust out any new songs.....and dude, you've GOT to bring us some pics for the thread, that'd be awesome.

BTW: I had no idea Mastodon was supporting Metallica anywhere on this tour, I could've sworn they said Apocalyptica were supporting them

[Deathstroke]

What's their overall best album, would you say? I want to get a playlist of nothing but their best songs...I know about The Trooper and Run to the Hills, other than those im completely in the dark on maiden.

That's a very interesting question. I'll have to give it some thought. However, any discussion of great Maiden albums has to include Somewhere In Time.

Damn straight we'll leave them separate.

This is a discussion thread. Mine is a news reporting thread.

Anyone like Dream Theater? They have a new album out, but I'm reticent about buying it since Octavarium was their worst and Train of Thought had more than a few problems. Hopefully, the record will hearken back to stuff like Images and Words, Awake, Scenes from a Memory, and Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence.

[Arrjay]

I really dig Cradle Of Filth, Theatre Of Tragedy, Dimmu Borgir and Opeth.

Anyone else with me on any of those bands?

[leonaozaki]

That's a very interesting question. I'll have to give it some thought. However, any discussion of great Maiden albums has to include Somewhere In Time.

I'll get back to the playlist question later, but from the first seven Maiden albums I would probably pick Seventh Son of a Seventh Son as my favorite, followed by Piece of Mind and The Number of the Beast.

I would also recommend Live after Death because it has an awful lot of great Maiden songs in one place and you get to hear Bruce Dickinson sing on Paul Di'anno songs.

Wow we have drastically different opinons about Train of Thought and Octavarium. I thought both were excellent. I have yet to hear Systematic Chaos though.
