So....what's your favorite genre of heavy metal?
From alternative to speed, there are so many generes of hard rock/heavy metal music. I know there are a plethora of folks on here that are into great, kick ass music and not rap or Justin Beiber shit, so tell me, what's your favorite genre of metal and some of your favorite bands? For me it's the genre that dominated the 80s' and it was Hair Metal. Bands from Bon Jovi, Motley Crue to Poison and White Lion, I fucking love my badass bubble gum pop metal music \m/ \m/ Nov 13 12 09:01 pm Link I am not very good at pinpointing what genre bands belong to really but I think it's groove metal. I like bands like Lamb of God, Machine Head, Law of the Tongue, etc. I like Alice Cooper and Kiss but then I like a lot of different things. I don't just listen to metal. It's my walking somewhere music...

Nov 14 12 05:27 pm Link There was a time when I wouldn't have considered Heavy Metal to be anything other than bands like Cream, Iron Butterfly, maybe some early Black Sabbath. Granted, I was between the ages of 3-6 when these bands were at their creative peak. Then came A.C./D.C., Motorhead and Z..Z. Top but, I was heavy into the Boston Punk Scene in those days and didn't aquire an appreciation until much later on. These days, I suppose N.I.N. (a band I despise BTW) would be in the semi-forefront, maybe Ramstein or even some of the Thrash Bands like Girls Against Boys or whatever they are called? Nov 14 12 05:37 pm Link Country, steel guitar.
