God I hate heavy metal! Some of the early 70s stuff wasn't too bad.
Now it's just screaming and repetitive schreeching guitar riffs. Absolute cheese.
Prog metal, on the other hand, can be quite interesting.
Have a listen. There are some free streaming examples, scroll down a bit.
You have Berzerker, Wednesday 13 and Murderdolls, yet to blatantly leave out Machine Head? Are you completely mad?
By the way Machine Head rule.
There is no signature here. Move along.

Although, if I'm listening to hard music, I like it harder than metal (hard trance for the win, kthnx).
Avenge Sevenfold count? Or Aiden, Atreyu?
I think A7X count. I have never heard of the other two.
Owen made this sig. R.I.P.
There are a lot of kick-ass metal bands that are better than some on the current list that didn't even make the list; such as Anthrax, Slayer, and Testament.
I just picked my top three faves on the current list, though.
avenge sevenfold are pretty good...i forgot about them...
Sephiro this here.
Im a girl an even I know the difference.
Heavy metal is traditional metal from 1970s to 1980s.
Heavy metal is formed from slight punk roots, rock and roll, blues and jazz and even psychedelic music.
The closest thing to 'real heavy metal' these days (excluding old HM bands that are still around) in powermetal.
Its sad to think the lyrics to the songs were based from mythical storys, life, sex-drugs-and-rock n roll and love... To slaughtering, raping women and hate.
Traditional heavy metal bands wern't even satanic, the most 'satanic songs' were based from movies or nightmares, the bands made fun of themselves by acting like satanic people. The band these days take the fake label really seriously.
I only really like:
Black Sabbath
Rainbow
Def Leppard
White snake
iron maiden
(early) judas priest
blue oyster cult
etc
Tis my 2 cents, I don't care if you think I am an idiot... but you know that I am right.

Puppy Dog!
Roxy makes some very good points, a lot of metal these days has become the steriotypical image that people placed on it during the 70s and 80s
Hehehe.
Sorta offtopic but:
I don't listen to modern music altogether, its very uninspired.
Notice how all of the 60s,70s,80s rockish bands all sound different?
Now, name more than 2 bands that make music like they used to.
Puppy Dog!
Moonspell!
Metallica, Megadeth, WASP, Slayer and Lordi are my fav metal bands. Most of those options ive never heard of
i think im in love
My favorite form of metal happens to be thrash, but I listen to all kinds of metal. I used to listen to nu-Metal, until I realized just how corny it was. The only 80s "hair metal" band I ever really liked was Motley Crue, and I outgrew that, as well. I listen to a little bit of Black Metal, and a bit of Death Metal, but I don't like those two as much as I like thrash.
