(and so cringy from my ace point of view) normally i pay more attention to the music tho. Ooh sounds difficult! I have an agreement with my other half when we go to gigs together - 50/50, 50% of time at back with him in the 'quiet' area and 50% in a pit or some bit of the crowd where people are moving around - I get so restless sometimes at the back. I enjoy moshpit more with age too - weird isn't it! Agreed it is most enjoyable if you know the band well. haha glad it is not just me - sometimes I wonder what the f*ck I'm doing listening to those lyrics but then I get caught by a riff again and just don't care. There is one Pantera song I cannot listen to though, the lyrics are tooo explicit. Rammstein 'pussy' is a bit borderline but the cannon is fun at the shows. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've just found another for Stein um Stein and that well, I'm stumped. I prefer the original but this quite cool too. One of my fav rammstein tracks for atmosphere is Amour, I bet her voice would sound good for that one too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Here are some of my favorites: While I wouldn’t consider Soundgarden to be metal overall, I think the song should in Badmotorfinger could be considered? (but go listen to Superunknown because it’s awesome, even if it isn’t mostly metal). Love the riff in Outshined, used to be able to play this, not sure if I can still remember how. RIP Chris, gone too young Quote Tool is just awesome. My favourite track on 10,000 days (well that and Lost Keys - so funny!) They were awesome headliners at DL this year. Quote Really, the whole album is worth a listen. Metropolis pt 2 is similar to Pink Floyd’s The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon, so I’d definitely recommend it if you like Pink Floyd, but also wouldn’t mind something heavier. here’s some other things, but just leaving them as links.

Guest Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 @thequietplace I think you have to put the spaces in my name. It should automatically suggest names as you start typing. Watch this video. This is the Mac Sabbath answer to Electric Funeral. They take Black Sabbath instrumentals and change the lyrics. This is probably what would happen if Ronald McDonald snorted a big line of blow and listened to some Black Sabbath albums. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Their metal status is also quite controversial, though I'm not sure how they fit into the categories you mentioned. i think it was amaranthe who supported babymetal in london recently? i really liked them. @A Grey So Dark is your avatar one of the BMTH album covers? looks familiar..

Guest Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) @thequietplace When I listen to metal I feel comforted by the idea that music comes in as many different forms as people do. @fooledbysecrecy You have a good eye. That is the album cover for Sempiternal. I truly enjoyed that album. I enjoyed That's the Spirit and Amo as well. Can you guess what my username is from?

Guest Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 @fooledbysecrecy You were right. That was Amaranthe that supported Babymetal recently. I don't keep up with concerts very well. My city is not that great for music unless the genre is country. Living in the middle of Kansas doesn't help with concerts. I think that Oklahoma and Missouri get quite a few good one. The only big ones I remember wanting to go to were Motley Crue/Alice Cooper back when they were doing the final four and Volbeat/Five Finger Death Punch/Hellyeah/Nothing more about five years ago. The rest of the local ones didn't sound as interesting. I did want to see Bullet for My Valentine a while ago. That one was one a night I had a college class that wasn't scheduled. It was a day that the college was supposed to be closed but the teacher was new and he didn't know that when he planned everything out. He was about 26 so we let it slide. The building was closed so the class met at the Applebee's down the street. That was actually kind of interesting. I would have gone to the concert if I hadn't had such a good time.

Guest Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 @fooledbysecrecy I heard one song from that album that and that was Alligator Blood. I never have heard any of the rest of it. I need to go listen to Suicide Season and Count Your Blessings. I know that even the band says Count Your Blessings was terrible but I almost want to listen to it just out of curiosity. Amo is a very different sound. It's not really metal at all except for Mantra. I did like that Oliver Sykes did a whole concept album about love. I thought mother tongue was really beautiful once I read the story behind it. There was one song that was kind of a weird inclusion. He put an interlude called ouch on the album. That little song was obviously a jab at his ex-wife. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Piotrek Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 @thequietplace That's definitely not what I expected when I saw Skyclad mentioned ;O I know only 2 or 3 of their songs, but they sound worlds apart from this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PieceOfMind Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Great thread! My favorites are Iron Maiden and Nightwish, and I also really like Sabaton, Kamelot, Korpiklaani, and Tyr to name a few. I've been to 2 Iron Maiden concerts (awesome!) and 2 Nightwish concerts which had Kamelot and Sabaton as "openers" (lucky me!). I also enjoy getting other people addicted to Nightwish. Fun story: In college, I had a good friend (who was of the fairly conservative, Christian type) that played the guitar. One of his roommates enjoyed hard rock & metal, but my friend would always complain about the "loud noise" and ask him to switch to something else. One day I convinced my friend to play guitars with me a bit (I play bass). Of course, most of the songs I know are Iron Maiden so.... I forget which song we ended up playing, but it might have been Phantom of the Opera. In any case, by the end of our jam, he had a new appreciation for this type of music. A few days later, I saw his roommate in the cafeteria, and he looked at me and said, "What did you do to Danny?! He asked if we could listen to some Iron Maiden yesterday!" I just laughed. It was great! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hello, fellow Nightwish fan Which albums and songs do you like most? (Mind you, I'd have a serious problem answering that question I really like the Tarja era, although paradoxically, I haven't listened to those songs much in the recent years. ). I've been to a Sabaton show too (with them as a headliner, in a club) although I only know a part of their output. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PieceOfMind Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 @Piotrek Can I have one favorite song per album? Even then, I'm not sure I could choose.... I actually really like The Islander, even though it isn't a typical Nightwish song. Others that I'd put on my frequently played list would be Elan, Alpenglow, Nemo, Gethsemane, Scaretale, Ghost Love Score, Amaranth, Moondance, Dark Chest of Wonders, and so on. (This could become a long list if I keep going.) The album Once has a special place in my heart probably because it was the album that introduced me to Nightwish. I also really like Endless Forms Most Beautiful. What are your favorites (if you dare try to choose)? In my opinion, Sabaton is one of those bands that's better live than on albums, but I like them quite a bit either way. Have you listened to Tuomas Holopainen's Scrooge album? It's not exactly metal, but I really enjoy it. He wanted to write a film score, and I'd say he was pretty successful! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Piotrek Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 @PieceOfMind I don't think I can do one per album Some of my favourites would be, in more of less chronological order: The Forever Moments, Pharaoh Sails to Orion, Devil &The Deep Dark Ocean, Bare Grace Misery, Away, Dead to the World, Dark Chest of Wonders, Ghost Love Score, Planet Hell, 7 Days to the Wolves, I want My Tears Back, Alpenglow, My Walden.

I was introduced to them with the "Nemo", which is also the reason why I don't like it when someone disparages singles. Their role is to be simple (or at least simpler than the main body of the artist's output) and draw a new crowd. Some of those people will appreciate the more complex songs too and then you've got yourself another fan. I have listened to Tuomas's album once I remember thinking that it does sound like something written by him Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll add that as much as I like complex songs, sometimes a simpler one is nice, especially if you're tired and looking to relax a bit. It also gives more variety to the artist's work. I haven't listened as much to old Nightwish, except maybe the Oceanborn album, but now you've given me some motivation to go do so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't gotten into that many female-fronted metal bands in general. I do love the vocals that Christina Scabbia contributed to the duet version of A Tout Le Monde. Floor Jansen has a very powerful voice as does Alissa White-Gluz. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
els1 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Just discovered this thread, cool to see so many ace metalheads (also love the Sempiternal avatar @A Grey So Dark, incredible album). Metalcore is definitely my favourite genre but I listen to a wide variety of stuff within the metal genre. Some of my favourite bands are Architects, Gojira, As I Lay Dying, Silent Planet, Katatonia, Sabaton, and Ice Nine Kills. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
