just to name a few ...

I think it is mostly the humor factor.

I can't believe I forgot Pestilence. Consuming Impulse if one of my favorite metal albums ever. They should actually be first on my list of obscure bands that never made it bigtime.

Possessed is also great. Their guitar player is in Primus now.

anyone remember voodoocult?

Not me...

i remember them from the mid 90s trash/hard core era

Music is cool. Singing is kinda weak.

Iron Maiden should have made the cut! Early DiAnno fuckin rocked, even Bruce in the early years could rip!

Thankfully I'm not a "real" metalhead ...

They did. :)

Damn! i've seen some good good recommendations in this thread, there's Spanish and Argentinian Heavy Metal wich i love the most (native language) here's some:






























:2 cents: Spanish Heavy Metal always around too :)

Try Corrosion of conformity. always love to crank them.

some good bands but what about godsmack???

some stuff i've been digging on

forgot about sacrifice. first exodus was the best ....

Therion is a lesser known but extremely talented group as well.

I was never a metalhead, always more of a ska/punk kid with some locale based ghetto influences... but growing up all my best friends were, and I ended up engaged to one. It's had a slight influence over time.


Some of my favorite metal fusions over the years. (Definitely not for the purists)

Steel Panther

Skindred

Pitchshifter

H-BlockX (also one of the first metal bands I was ever exposed too, later got to work on 2 records and this music vid with them.)

Guano Apes

Nonpoint

(hed) p.e.

Anthrax feat. Public Enemy

Chevelle


Less fusion... more semi-precious ore related grit I've been dragged and beaten into eventually loving.

Fear Factory

Snot

Texas Hippie Coalition

(i have no idea how to embed youtube videos)

I like Celine Dion.

Solid list there.

:thumbsup

I agree Maiden should definitely be in there. What about Suicidal Tendencies? One of my favorites along with a bunch of "Hair Metal" shit that I am still a fan of Like Crue or W.A.S.P.

I am a glam rock poser that's going to Bon Jovi tonite in Toronto.

My buddy's Clutch cover band.

I guess Suicidal is metalish, but its mostly punk.

If you haven't been turned onto The Sword yet, do yourself a favor and grab any of their three discs. Top Notch Stoner Metal.

Did you check out that link I sent you brother?

Sinclair

Justin Bieber!!!!!!!!

Metal flows through my veins. I've been listening to a lot of Maiden lately.

metal forever, but never was big on death or black metal.

I like more MegaDeth, Metallica, Testament, Sepultura, godsmack, korn, creed, maybe you can say thrash metal.

I need to check them out more. I know they were opening for metallica and then just kinda fell off.

my brothers band

I am real! Fuck!

ST is pure thrash...

Yeah, only the first album was punk / hardcore.

It's the one I like the most by ST tho.
