Anyone else a Disturbed fan? I can't get enough of that band, they rule.
-
My first metal song was Stupify.
good tiems.
-
Down With The Sickness = classic, duh
10,000 fits is an old fave.
Land of Confusion grew on me.
So yeah, I'm a little fan
-
=D Nice you two. Liberate and Stricken rule, check them out if you like hard rock. I love all their songs, save Prayer.
Ten thousand and Down with the sickness=Pure ownage.
-
I'll check 'em out, never heard of 'em before.
And I think you were the one who first told me about those songs, with Zeep
-
I LOVE Ten thousand Fists. Its a great CD.
-
TEn thousand fists owns so hard.
Also, if you just want balls to the wall loudness and machine gun riffs, listen to their song Guarded. Good stuff.
-
Ah.. I wish I had the CD. I just dl songs here and there
Guarded - Great guitar, heard it before
-
Yeah it is. =D I love listening to it on my huge 14' high subwoofer and quad speakers. @_@ Made for metal music and gaming. It rules.
-
Daamns. All I have is my nano and headphones- which I burn through every other week Sounds fantastical
-
I started out with disturbed, but songs of their have annoying vocal effects, and it can turn people off right away (very bad for trying to impress someone). I haven't even listened to them in years, but I'm just remembering their first album. 2nd one went to hell. "You try to tell that you love life, and then you find a way to kill life." Some of the lyrics are pretty awesome to. One thing that I'm interested to know about them is if it was them that made the song shout 2000. That song was great, but as an example from what I said above it would have been outstanding if they didn't go overboard with all the vocal effects in it.

Disturbed is a very rare kind of band. They sing about symbolic things, all the way to every day things. Don't think of their songs are single stories, they all merge. First album is about being yourself (Front message is Down with the Sickness.), second song is about no hatred, uniting and removing "The dark in your eye" (Front song Liberate.) Third album is about being a whole--Ten thousand fists in the air. Bringing down greed and rage, hate and pain and being united ten thousand fists. Its all a story--Overcoming yourself, then overcoming hatred, then uniting with others.

You pretty much typed out my thoughts there... Maybe I should listen again.
Also down with the sickness is an awesome song but is brought down by that bit in the middle, it was... disturbing

I have a copy of their cds Down With The Sickness and Believe myself.
Haven't listened to either cd in a long time, but I'm a big fan of the song "Meaning Of Life".
I Wanna Get Psycho!
-
*starts crying at the sight of more disturbed fans* Oh god, thank you...
My favourites have to be of course, down with the sickness, gaurded, stricken, remember, im alive, and 10000 fists.
-
Their top five:
1:Stricken
2:Liberate
3:Down with the sickness
4: Sons of plunder
5: Guarded
-
I might try them after I finish my Dropkick Murphys collection.
-

1:Stricken
2:Liberate
3:Down with the sickness
4: Sons of plunder
5: Guarded
Top 5.. so hard.. It'd be between Muse, Metallica, Foo Fighters, Megadeath, Slipknot, Pantera, etc.
-
Hmm, nice. Metallica owns, and Megadeth is pretty sweet. I'm new to metal though (Started listening to metal about a month ago.) So I still got lots to listen to. Heh.
-
Metallica and Megadeth arn't metal....
-
>_> The definition of Metal has changed a lot. I consider Metallica Metal (At least their older albums like Black or Justice for All) but Megadeth really is an odd one. I can't label them.
-
Well to me Metal are bands like Trivium and Children of Bodom. I think Metallica and Megadeth are more rockish.
-
Yeah, its really up to what the individual considers metal. Personally I have no problem calling them Hard rock or Alt, its the band that matters. Genres are as changeable as the person singing in them. One day Rock could be Beatles, then its Finger eleven or something. Always changes.
-
I agree totally.
-
Plus genre's are getting WAY out of hand. There are like... millions of them. Alt metal, alt rock, speed metal, slow metal, hard rock/soft rock, post rock post grunge, rapcore... MAN, can't they make it simpler? There's more genres then bands out there.
-
I'm pretty new to it myself, and depends on the person. I've considered Metallica rock, Megadeath/Slipknot metal, but it doesn't really matter to me.
I lol'd when Itunes had evanescence under Metal
-
Evanesence as metal? Now there's a good joke.
-
The instruments in Evanescence sound "metal," but Evanescence actually has...you know, a good vocalist.
-
I wouldn't go that far.
-

I'm not too familiar with Trivium a whole lot, but I'd classify CoB as Death Metal myself.
A lot of bands are metal. Technically, Cinderella is metal, but they're hair metal.
Anyways, for WeThePeople, if you're new to Metal, here are a few suggestions.
IRON Maiden
Nightwish
Grim Reaper
Tesla
Dragonforce
Hammerfall
Blind Guardian
Bruce Dickinson
Iced Earth
Epica
Kamelot
Judas Priest
Rebel Meets Rebel
Rob Rock
Helloween
Yngwie Malmsteen (his older stuff - the newer stuff isn't as good in my opinion)
Rhapsody
Dio
Thunderstone
Dokken
--
A lot of variety for you.
-
Nice, thanks! I'll check those bands out.
-
The instruments in Evanescence sound "metal," but Evanescence actually has...you know, a good vocalist.
^this, sooo this. I love her voice, and if you;ve ever listened to the singer in Lacuna Coil, they sound the same a little
vgmmaster - I knew Iron Maiden would be first on your list

You should hear the former lead singer of Nightwish (in all albums except for the newest - Dark Passion Play). Her voice is really good as well, and while their new lead singer is also good, she's on a completely different level.
And yes, seeing how IRON Maiden was the first metal band I ever listened to, it's only appropriate that they're the first on my list.
-
I'd classify Megadeth under "fucking awesome." My top five are fairly easy; in order:
1. Dropkick Murphys
2. Battlefield Band (traditional Celtic)
3. Pink Floyd
4. Megadeth
5. Queen

Depends what you consider metal.. Some thing SOAD is, and Skipknot. They'd be my first two with Iron Maiden coming 3rd ;P
And coolness, I'll check them out
-
Slipknot is alright to me. I can't understand one word from them. Though I am fond of the opening to their song Liberate ("Hands in the air.. jump!") etc. All their other songs are just ok to me.
-
My favorite bands would probable be.
1. Iced Earth
2. Megadeth
3. Avenged Sevenfold.
4. No clue

Vermilion, The Nameless, Duality. Classic songs. That whole CD was killer
-
As Kaiser said, Iced Earth is awesome. I like the Glorious Burden cd a lot, but if you only get one song, it has to be Melancholy. I could listen to that song all day.
And for my definition of metal, I just do the easiest thing which is to use the 100 types of metal and lump them all into the same category. That way, I don't have to debate if it's metal or not.
-
Melancholy is a pretty sweet song. However If I listen to a slow Iced Earth song it would have to be Watching Over me. My Favorite song by Iced Earth is Declaration Day.
