Airut, it doesn't matter whether you know finnish or not (in fact, it helps me to enjoy it), they're a great metal band.

I bought a cd with Hammerfall a couple of years ago, because the cover resembled the style of Manowar. On I was a song called renegade. When I listened to it, I found out that it was actually a song about the tv show, renegade. That's right people, the one with Lorenzo Llamas. Right then, I lost all respect for Hammerfall, and can no longer stand to listen to any of their music. :)

See, I don't mind that bands write songs about books, supreheroes, films, or even tv shows. But if they do a song about a tv show, at least chose a tv show that isn't one of the crappiest ever made. LOL

Well, there are all sorts of different metal categories (and ofcourse most of them just aren't "true" <_< :yawn:), but this is what I like:

- NiN (duh)
- Pitchshifter

and less frequently:
- Fear Factory
- Pantera
- Meshuggah
- Alice in Chains (perhaps not really metal, but still I like it)
- Laberinto

Well, I like Ronnie James Dio's stuff the most.

For those who don't know, he's ex Black Sabbath. Rainbow and Elf vocalist.

As for other bands, I also like Guns'n'Roses (even though they can be classified as hard rock) and Iron Maiden.

A listen too all kind of metal, from heavy to black. My favourite bands are Iron Maiden, Helloween, Mayhem, Opeth, Hunter, Slayer, Kat and much more. I don't like those metal-like bands like SOAD, LP, Korn.

Nightwish (Amazing vocals and great atmospheric sound)
Metallica (Mostly the pre-Load stuff, but some of the newer stuff is good as well)
Children Of Bodom (Amazing instruments and great vocal talent)
Demons & Wizards (A project between Blind Guardian and Iced Earth, both bands are good, but their collaboration kicks arse)
Within Temptation
Judas Priest
Mudvayne
System of a Down

oo mine...

Metallica
Megadeth
Slayer
Dragonforce
Lorenguard
Queens of the stone age


I've never understood the problem between punk and metal fans I like them both really.

yeah well punks are against everything (especially against generalisations) :P

There's an amazing track on The Faint's last album called "Dropkick the Punks" - the vocals are a brilliant mick-take of Sid Vicious. Awesome.

I like Guns And Roses best. :band:

I must be one of the few people to still believe they will release a new album (the infamous Chinese Democracy).


I also like Sisters Of Mercy, The Mission, and Muse. LOL
