jr_rocker Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Hey. I've been filling up my mp3 player with all kinds of music that I like and I had no idea I liked metal until I heard a few Metallica songs. So far I have downloaded...legally, of course...Metallica, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, & a couple of songs from Slayer. What I dislike about Slayer is that they have too much devil/666/fire stuff for me. I was listening to them and the ground began to open up, but anyways, could you guys give me some suggestions for any metal bands I might like? So far I have(everything listed are songs): Metallica: For Whom the Bell Tolls Hit the lights Pulling Teeth Master of Puppets Creeping Death Iron Maiden: 2 Minutews To Midnight Number of The Beast Run To The Hills Hallowed Be Thy Name Rime of the Ancient Mariner Megadeth: Trust Sweating Bullets Symphony of Descrution Skin O' My Teeth Wake Up Dead Holy Wars Hangar 18 Slayer: Angel Of Death Raining Blood -Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katie_sane Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 'One' by Metallica is one of my favourite songs of all time. If you like Metallica, you'll love this song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blind-fitter Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 MOTORHEAD Get a "Best of..." compilation. You shouldn't be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 good beginner songs for the best heavy metal bands Judas Priest: Exciter (which I think is their best!) Jack the Ripper Breaking the Law Hell Bent For Leather Saints in Hell Iron Maiden: (five good beginner ones you don't appear to have) Invaders 22 Acacia Avenue Die With Your Boots On Black Sabbath: Iron Man Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath Sweet Leaf Children of the Grave Black Sabbath Electric Funeral Hole in the Sky Supernaut Snowblind War Pigs Wheels of Confusion Under the Sun Laguna Sunrise (not a metal song, but it's great!) After Forever Rainbow: Man on the Silver Mountain Kill The King Catch The Rainbow (not very metal, but great guitar) Stargazer Starstruck Deep Purple: Smoke on the Water Highway Star Hush ...And the Address Speed King The Mule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jman14141414 Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 As for albums I would recommend these.... Deep Purple-Machine Head(even though I don't really classify it as "metal" though) Iron Maiden-Number Of The Beast Iron Maiden-Edward The Great, Greatest Hits Judas Priest-Metal Works 73-93(good starting point for new listeners) Megadeth-Rust In Peace Megadeth-Peace Sells...But Who's Buying? Metallica-First Four Albums Black Sabbath, start off with Paranoid, then get their first six albums Motorhead-Best Of Anthrax-Return Of The Killer A's Anthrax-Attack Of The Killer B's I think that should be good for now.

johnnyguitar Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Although Metal purists will baulk at the idea, sell your grandmother for a copy of Rock Bottom by UFO :guitar: :guitar: :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiggsUK Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Thinking back to my long-haired funky-moped riding youth, I would suggest Tokyo Tapes by Scorpions, and the double live LP by UFO, the name of which escapes me. I am a bit confused by the gendre now though, as to me 'metal' means Anthrax, Metallica and the like, and most of the older bands no longer fit the description.

I'm a bit confused too....Saxon, Iron Maiden and their ilk were once NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) according to 'Sounds' magazine...which implies an 'old wave' somewhere down the line which was probably sprung from Purple, Zep and the like but there's the doomy gloomy aspect from Sabbath and even more so from long forgotton heroes such as Atomic Rooster (heavy or what). Personally I think Metallica...and especially Megadeath are more the offspring of the bunch of spandex clad, poodle haired pansies (with the odd very dodgy moustache) that knocked out bad Slade covers in the late 80's. Metallica are a bunch of po-faced poseurs. And if anyone says Kiss are Heavy Metal I'll know I've lost the plot...they're The Sweet meets the Rocky Horror Show...and that ain't metal...it's more like marshmallow (and I like the Sweet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
