5 pages in and we havent had a row, sarky remark or the :rolleyes:, what a pleasant bunch we are
I think it's because we just appreciate the music, without getting hung up about who is out-selling who or who is the bigger name etc.
Listening to your first link now - Walk Away. Like it
Less keen on the second one & unfortunately, I couldn't get past THIS
My teenage metal head has informed me that FFDP are kiddie pop . Melodic Metal Core or something. How many flipping metal sub genres are there ffs? :eek:

How on earth have I only just discovered this thread?? :eek:
Anyway, good evening all. Has anyone on here heard of Opeth? Will certainly not be to everyone's taste as there are growled vocals, but clean ones as well. Their music is best described as 'progressive death metal.' This is, IMO, their best album:
Some will like it, some won't. Oh, and apologies if already raised - I haven't read the entire thread. Looking forward to some intelligent discussion about great music!

Really enjoyed the music, but as you say the vocals arent for everyone

Not my thing, sorry. Maybe my ears need tuning but to me, all the growlers sound the same. I like distinctive voices. The music's ok though.
Oh wait, he's started singing. Or is it someone else? Unfortunately the singing is unremarkable. Preferable to the growling though.

Same bloke - Mikael Akerfeldt - and IMO he's a great singer but death growls are extremely subjective - it took me quite some time to get used to them. The musicianship is magnificent.

I did try but had to turn off after about six minutes because I was bored. Imo, that's about the worst thing music can do to me - bore me.
Iron Maiden was the first music t-shirt i ever bought, used to be a stall in Manchester Arndale Market that used to do those ironed on transfers, i thought i was the dogs doo-dahs. The actual t-shirt it was pressed onto was of questionable quality because after about 3 washes it either shrunk or went right out of shape:mad:

Found the first one a bit dull but the Machine Head track grew on me as it went on. I'm usually not keen on harsh vocals but that was ok.
Having said that, I do have a fondness for this
Amon Amarth - Twilight Of The Thunder God
Not heard that one before

Actually, Opeth's most recent album,- Heritage (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t8fl96HPQI) has no death growls at all, just clean vocals, so you may enjoy that one.

I like Iron Maiden. They have great taste in support acts. :cool:
In fact, I like them so much I'll throw in a bonus track
Fear Of The Dark
Bullet for my valentine
Breaking Benjamin
Alterbridge
Buckecherry
Favourite songs by Breaking Benjamin has to be Breath & Diary of Jane.
And Favourite song by Buckcherry has to be Crazy B*
There is an uncensored video of Crazy B on youtube, which is very very nice, but cannot post for obvious reasons.
I've never liked Slipknot but I do really rate Sone Sour. I've seen them twice and they are very, very, impressive.
MC5 - Kick out the Jams:

I've loved that tune for as long as I can remember.
I see you & raise you Iggy & The Stooges - Search & Destroy :cool:
