Favourite Metal Bands

[burngeorgesbush]

don't know if i am in the right place but i was just wondering what ur guys fave metal bands are. i love my thrash metal!

my fave bands are as follows death, exodus, anthrax, slayer, mastodon and finally my fave is megadeth. dave ellefson is a pretty decent bassist but my love of megadeth is cause of dave mustaine's super technical rhythm guitar. i even have a ltd dv-8 sig guitar and it is so damn awesome.

[saxnbass]

Kittie, Cradle of Filth, Slayer, Anthrax, Pantera, Black Label Society (not so heavy), and a lot more. I used to be a metal-head, not so much anymore.

Lamb of god, Megadeth, old Metallica, Slayer, Cannibal Corpse.

All great stuff imo.

In no particular order, Death, Omnium Gatherum, Cradle Of Filth, Bal Sagoth, Cynic, Atheist, Cryptopsy, Pitchshifter, Enslaved, Ministry, Rhapsody, Strapping Young Lad, Devin Townsend, this list could go on for a very long time indeed.

Ha ha...Believe it or not I have a job too, which doesn't involve listening to metal. What job that would be though...I'd be rich!!

Anyway, I was bored the other day and updated my myspace profile, so I just copied and pasted.
