Metal Music

[FuckinA]

Fuckin' a man, I myself have been to a lot of metal events as well, never seen any trouble man.
The music can be quite aggressive, It's true, but in the end, when you talk to the musicians, they just like takin' it easy. It's like, playing music is their substitute for bowling...

I dig metal most of all, man.  Even the one-dimensional, no-talent, headbanging bullshit with just three chords.  But mostly I enjoy the stuff with some thought and talent put into it.  Iron Maiden, Iced Earth, Electric Wizard and  The Sword have all broken through to touch my heart.  They are good men and thurrah.

The Sword... now there's a good one.  Especially the album Warp Riders.

Other noteworthy stuff in my book...

Black Sabbath
Rush
Melvins
Ozzy
Monster Magnet
Motorhead
Kyuss
Soundgarden
Tool
Judas Preist
Scorpions
ZZ Top

...just all kinds of stuff.  Mars Volta, Mr. Bungle.  Have fun, it's a rich genre and powerful stuff.

Awesome Dude.  All excellent choices!

anything that doesnt talk about "omg i want to cut myself and die ahhahahh!"

That's why I like symphonic metal. They sing about life and angels.
