Favourite Heavy Metal band?

[The Devil Man]

Hey there. Just curious... what kind of Metal music do you guys like listening too? I am sure there are some Metal fans for sure on this Board.

In the Poll above, please pick 3 (if you have 3 favourites). I've tried to make it a fairly broad selection

My top 3 bands are: SlipKnot (I absolutely love Joey Jordison. Best drummer in the world for me, no question, although Tool's drummer comes damn close), Sepultra (I love the song 'Convicted in Life') and God Forbid (Which didn't make my main Poll because not enough people know of them (The song 'End of the World' is just damn great!))

What about you guys?


EDIT: It's NOT one of my best Polls, but it's not supposed to be the 'Best 20 Bands of all time' or anything. Those are the bands which get most air-time on UK metal music channels, hence the Poll. So just pick what you like from there and add your own favourites in your post

Iron Maiden, Dream Theater and...I want to say Ayreon, but they're only slightly metal, so I guess I'll go with Sonata Arctica.

[Brian The Pink Shark]

make it so i can choose another band twice because you forgot to add Judas Priest and Motorhead who apart from Iron Maiden are the greatest metal bands

Anyone should know who they are before creating a thread like this

[Crushed Hope]

KORN

The above bands are not metal. Fear Factory used to be, but are no longer.

Best metal band is a toss up between Agalloch and Pain of Salvation.

this list sucks, out of the entire thing only 3 bands are what I would consider "heavy metal" no Rainbow, Dokken, Anthrax. Metallica would make the list too but they're in the fast part of heavy metal as is Anthrax. I don't have anything personal against Devil Man but this poll sucks.

[chrs229]

i voted for the ones i listen to the most which happens to be Trivium, Korn, and Metallica

[The Devil Man]

if you don't like it, don't post in it! no ones forcing you to vote!

god, never get people talking about music. always a bad idea! this isn't supposed to be sent to Rolling Stone magazine to help them decide what the greatest bands of all time are! it's just a Poll based on music that gets the most air time in the UK's music video channels. AND there's only 20 options, not 30, not 40, not 50, not a 100. Thats why the last one is 'other'.

I regret ever starting this one now. If any of the Mod's are reading this, just lock it up.

[sephirothishere]

Freak kitchen
Pantera
Dream theater.....

[Venom]

Megadeth and WASP are my favorite bands of all time.

[Araciel]

i wouldn't call tool heavy metal but they get my vote anyway

[My_car_is_faster_than_you]

i wouldn't call tool heavy metal but they get my vote anyway

And Metallica, the bottom option.

[Black Mage FF1]

If I had to pick from this list I would pick Bullet For My Valentine and Trivium (old, none of that metallica wannabe crap on their new cd)

But my top 3 that are not listed are

As Blood Runs Black
Haste The Day
Demon Hunter

[Avarice-ness]

I went with Iron Maiden... naturally.. but since Arch Enemy was on the list I picked them too..

If I chose my own, it'd be Iron Maiden, Opeth, and Lamb of God. I do love Arch Enemy but not as high as my personal fav. three.

[Mythra]

Out of the list I chose Iron Maiden, Trivium, and Tool. Although I don't really consider Tool metal, their older stuff maybe, but not Lateralus and 10,000 Days. If I could pick it my own, it would have to be Opeth, Metallica (old metallica ftw), Trivium, Children Of Bodom (can't believe they weren't on the list), Avenged Sevenfold, Killswitch Engage, Protest the Hero.
