Rammstein
Metallica
Nirvana
Alice in Chains
Pearl Jam
Led Zep
Pink Floyd
Thin Lizzy
The Doors
Type O Negative

It's a rare mix of favourite bands we share, Gualot, are you sure you're not just some sock puppet I'm using to bolster my reputation on the R&M forum?

Aye, ASIWYFA are a national treasure, seems like they're only getting better as well!

I love ASIWYFA. They make basic riffs sound so good. Set Guitars to Kill is a tune and a half.

They're in my top ten! I've got one shared spot for Soilwork/Dark Tranquillity/Scar Symmetry. Love me some melodic death. I actually saw DT in June at Metaltown, they put on one hell of a show.

Yeah, that'd be my favourite by them. Takes a lot to make instrumental music as interesting as theirs is.

You should check out a German band called Long Distance Calling. I don't know if we're allowed to link videos on this thread but look up the song Into The Black Wide Open or The Nearing Grave.

Wow, yeah I'm just listening to them now, this is excellent. It's a lot more textured and ambient than ASIWYFA but I see where you're coming from. Thanks a million for the referral :pac:

1. System of a Down
2. Tool
3. Metallica
4. Smashing Pumpkins
5. Nirvana
6. Slipknot
7. Queens of the Stone Age
8. And so I watch you from Afar
9. Thin Lizzy
10. Rage against the Machine

By the way, could anyone recommend any really really class band/album that I should be listening to? As you can see most of the bands I listen to are from prior to early naughties, 90's and 80's.

The only really class mind blowing band I've stumbled across the last 7 years is "And so I watch you from afar"

Surely metal hasnt died a complete death?

Spurs are incredibly lucky here. AVB did not announce his arrival, as the commentator said, United should have scored at least one in the last 30 mins. Gifted the opening half by an awful team choice from Fergie.

Fergie deserves the defeat, though. Ridiculous team to start. Giggs may need to pull a Neville at this stage and take himself out of the equation. He is offering nothing other than giving Fergie hope that he can still play at the highest level.

1.U2-Grew up with them, great songwriters
2.The Beatles-Brought rock 'n roll into the popular music scene
3.Blink-182-Soundtrack to my teenage years, who cares if they write three chord songs, I sure don't
4.Third Eye Blind-Songs contain a lot of emotion.
5.Thin Lizzy-The band who's singer was "the only black man in Ireland" with a guitarist just as unique
6.Green Day-Gone a tad of "off the rails" today, but their old stuff is gold
7.Arctic Monkeys-Alex Turners sheffield accent proved you don't have to croon to make the girls swoon.
8.Bloc Party-There fans are douchebags(myself included) but their guitar riffs kept the instrument alive in the 00's
9.Coldplay-Like a collagen shot to the aging face of rock n' roll
10Kings Of Leon- Incredible live band and not too bad in the recording studio either:)

Cannibal Corpse
Misery Index
Dying Fetus
Anaal Nathrakh
Children of Bodom
Cattle Decapitation
Napalm Death
Type O Negative

Seems about right, though the grind bands do have a bit of an advantage by virtue of having shorter songs, so they tend to fit more onto an album.
