So you metalheads here, what's your favorite metal band?

My favorite has to be Metallica, since thrash just makes me go absolutely nuts with my air guitar. I've also been getting into Iron Maiden and im actually going to see them june 20th.

Well I've heard Metallica so far but I guess Dream Theater is way better. I've heard two of their cds I have 'Systematic Chaos' and I've heard over and over again 'Scenes from a Memory' ^^ My bf asked if he'd go to Rock in Rio if I'd go as well to watch Metallica I still don't know but I'd like to ^^

As far as Metal Goes, the only kind I tend to listen to Is Power, and a few others here and there.


HAven't listened to Dream Theater yet though, need to get around to it.

Right now my favorite Power Metal Band would be Kamelot.

Ghost Opera FTW!

Dream Theater are amazingly awesome, and probably deserve the top spot of my all-time favourite band. I had my drumsticks signed by Mike Portnoy (their drummer).
My favourite album from them is Scenes From a Memory, with Images and Words a close second. Octavarium and Systematic Chaos have a very different sound in comparison to their earlier work.

Though my favourite metal band right now is Sonata Arctica, Wintersun and As I Lay Dying come very close.

I'm a lot more into thrash than most other kinds. I like Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax also. Im also getting into Priest, Maiden, and Sabbath.

While not really thrash I'm a huge fan of Machine Head and Pantera. I'm also down with Slayer, Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax.

Maiden probably take it overall for me, but I'm mostly into Black and Folk Metal. Enslaved, Moonsorrow, Ulver, Wintersun, Orphaned Land etc.

Couple of Tech Death/Melodic Death like Lykathea Aflame and Opeth are ones I'm into as well.

And then weird Doom Metal/Stoner Jam mashups like Boris and Orange Goblin. Sigh are also awesome, but they're more Avant Garde Black Metal than anything else.

Also quite like Nile, which is pretty strange 'cause other than that I don't really like Brutal Death Metal at all, but Nile are awesome.

Ayreon are more Opera concept rock than Metal, but they definitely have Metal roots and they kick ass so yeah.

Also, Alcest is fantastic, but it's like Post Black Metal, it's really weird. Hardly metal at all most of the time but you can definitely hear the influences of it.

Priest or Pantera. It changes with my mood.
