Metal Help...

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey guys, just a question for you metal-heads...

I've been listening to Metallica for a long time now, and I just recently started listening to Iron Maiden, and I really like them too. I also like quite a few songs from Black Sabbath and one song from Megadeth (I think it's called 'Reckoning Day'). Lately I've been thinking I should listen to more metal bands so I don't get bored of the ones I listen to now. So could some of you metal fans suggest some bands that play Metallica and Maiden type of stuff? Thanks a lot.

Peace,
Graeme

Bored of Maiden? I dont think thats possible!

I also dig Ronnie James Dio alot...or just "DIO" and Motorhead.
Danzig is another fave of mine. A few others are as follows:

-Prong
-Slayer
-Sepultura
-Celtic Frost
-Black Label Society
-Rob Halford
-Judas Priest
-Saxon
-Twisted Sister
-Testament

Pantera - start with: Vulgar Display of Power / Cowboys from Hell / maybe The Great Southern Trend Kill

Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss (my fav) or maybe Raining Blood (my 2nd fav)

Motley Crue - decade of Decadence (a greatest hits compilation) ...this is everything that was good about the 80's LA Glam scene.

I don't mean basslines to learn, because like B'Aces high said, it would be pretty hard to get bored of Maiden lines. I just mean new music to just listen to. But I have heard a lot about this Opeth band, would you mind naming some of their better songs? And I forgot to say, I also like Exodus. Thanks for the responses guys, I really appreciate it. Keep 'em comin'!

Peace,
Graeme

Wow, I just listened to Dio... it's awesome! I like Anthrax and Judas Priest too, although Slayer didn't really do it for me. I can't stand the guy's voice, and all the songs sound the same. Thanks a lot guys.

Peace,
Graeme

To which I add:

Acid Bath
Emperor
Satyricon
Crowbar
Soilent Green
Gorgoroth
Nile
Morbid Angel
Brodequin
Liturgy

Note that none of these are really in the same vein as Metallica or Iron Maiden (never really was much a maiden fan, honestly); but they're all really, really good metal.

I forgot about Type O, and I'm not a huge fan of Dimmu. I never really was exposed to their stuff, so I withheld comment.

From Type O Negative, Bloody Kisses is a great record.

I think you guys covered most of the good bands.

Try Rainbow,Whitesnake,Dokken,Kiss,Manowar and Deep Purple(though some of these bands arn't metal) as well.

If you like Dio get Dehumaniser by Black Sabbath.He does vocals on that.

Geezer is inhuman on that album.

Check out Control Denied too.Digiorgio on the fretless .

But you can never get tired of Harris' lines especially his 80's lines

Heaven and Hell has Dio singing for Sabbath as well and is my fav Sabbath album.
And IMO Dio was always the better singer for Sabbath.

Children Of Bodom are really good too.

Think 80's glam rock, but death metal.

A little OT, but my friend Joe finds it funny how the only lyrics to Dimmu Borgir I know, and understand are "The battle raged on and on..."
