Any adult Dis'ers into Hardcore Metal?

The world of metal has become so depressing as of late.

The world of metal has become so depressing as of late.

I disagree, I mean sure it's sad that we lost Peter Steele and Ronnie James Dio but they left us with so much great music that it is far from depressing!!! Just blast them loud and proud and feel the energy spew forth from their amazing talent...They both were pioneers in their own right....

Think about it Dio hooked up with Iommi and they took a mediocre band in Black Sabbath and made them Great and gave us two of the best Metal albums of all time in Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules! Not to mention his Elf, Rainbow and DIO stuff.... Thankfully I saw him live twice once with Dio and once with Black Sabbath

Steele merged NY style punk with Goth Metal, talk about original....Bloody Kisses and October Rust are easily in the top 200 Metal albums of all time....

The other person you guys have spoke of passing is not Metal therefore I refuse to recognize his existence LOL But that's the Metal Elitist in me

I knew that was coming

ITA about all the great things the guys did, but OMG I still cannot get over Pete. I don't think I ever will. Like I said before- it is SO hard to imagine never hearing new music from TON.

I was listening to Type O a lot last week, but I was getting really down- so, I have gone back to obsessively listening to Amon Amarth again. Love my vikings!

BTW Metal- I love your Pete/Everyone I love Is Dead tribute

LOL you know me all too well, that is one band that I have ZERO respect for. They fall into the useless noise category along with Korn, actually Korn is closer to being Metal than that band so that's not fair, at least their first album is amazing...The only decent thing that other band has ever put out was their first 7" way back in the mid 90's and even that was a waste of time...OK there was my rant for the day.....

I haven't been on here since I let for WDW a few weeks ago....Between being down there for 2 weeks and dealing with pneumonia the other 2 so I haven't had time.....

Amon Amarth are amazing!!!!!! I have seen them live 4 times and each time they have destroyed life!!! True VIKING Metal!!!!!!!!

Yeah I should probably add RJD to that tribute.....

I will say my favorite Slipknot song is "Wait and Bleed" something about it gets my blood pumpin'!

I like Korn- not when they get too far into that rap/metal/crap though. I like them loud, heavy and crunchy! We are going to Mayhem Fest next month!

Aug is the American Carnage tour. Not too stoked about seeing Megadeth, but, they come with the ticket. Hoping Dave will give us a little "Hook in Mouth" as a loving "shove it" tribute to Tipper Gore And Slayer? Well, you just have to respect Slayer, there are no if, ands or buts about it- OR you will get your butt kicked! That's my rule.
I AM psyched about seeing Chuck and the boyz. I love Testament.

Yuk! I hope it is clearing up! I usually get some kind of creepy germs from Disney. Either I get a cold when I am there- or as soon as I get home I get sick. Freaks me out. I think I will wrap myself in plastic for the next trip

Amon Amarth are amazing!!!!!! I have seen them live 4 times and each time they have destroyed life!!! True VIKING Metal!!!!!!!!

arg- I am SO obsessed with Amon Amarth. I was a little disappointed thought when I saw them in April Johan did not drink from the horn DARNIT! The band Tyr opened up for them and I must say I was impressed! 2

BTW- have you ever seen this vid on youtube of Johan and the guys making Mead? I think I might try this!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mClSA1LZPIs

I think Katatonia is coming to town- I might check them out.

Like I said Korn's first album is original and amazing, then they went down hill from there....I saw them back in the day a few times before they got popular and they were good but then I saw them with Metallica on the first Summer Sanitarium tour and they were beyond dreadful.....

I don't like 1 single song from that other band and I have seen them live 3 times and each time they impressed me less and less....To me they are just way too unoriginal and they don't have the musicians to distract from their unoriginality...To me they are one of the 5 most overrated bands in Hard Rock History along with Mudvayne, Chaimira, Evanescence and Black Label Society..... But then again like I said I am a Metal Elitist...Having said that I have plenty of respect for Hard Rock bands that aren't Metal such as System of a Down, Sevendust, Skunk Anansie, Nothingface, Primer 55, Coal Chamber (unoriginal but entertaining), Hed(PE), Snot (RIP Lynn and Dobbs) etc....

Anyway yeah I got pneumonia our second week at Disney, I swear it's because they don't use proper cleaning products in the rooms such as bleach!!! Think about people from all over the world bringing their germs, viruses and bacteria and spreading it. The Doctor at the Hospital told me that the bacteria in Florida has evolved and is 60% resistant to the Z Pack!!!! Are you kidding me??? But seriously I don't think Disney does a great job in cleaning they don't use the appropriate cleaning chemicals and/or solutions, they are too worried about someone getting irritated by the cleaning products in hopes that people wont get sick until they get home....Not good most bacteria thrives in heat and most viruses thrive in the cold so you have a perfect storm between the Florida sun and the virtually air tight air conditioned rooms....That is my theory and I am sticking to it....

Yeah Amon Amarth rules!!!! as does Tyr!!! There is no better live song than "Death in Fire"...Do you have the AMon Amarth DVD? I forget the name of it but it's 3 discs...I have it but I am at the office so I can't reference it...If you don't have it, get it!!!!!

SLAYER, TESTAMENT and MEGADETH are all amazing live!!! I have seen Slayer and Deth 7 times each and Testament 3 times...In my opinion there is no better guitarist on the planet than Alex Skolnick....Megadeth will definitely play "Hook in Mouth" and if you're lucky they will play "The Conjuring" and/or "Devil's Island"....I don't know what show I am going to next, I was thinking about going to Ozzfest but I refuse to support Ozzy/Sharon financially ever since they pulled that stunt with Iron Maiden.....


Katatonia rules!!!!

SOrry for the length it's Friday 3:35 and I am sitting at my desk looking forward to the weekend....Blast it Loud and Proud!!!!!!!

The 3 disc set you are talking about might be Wrath of the Norsemen?? I would certainly invest in more Amon Amarth music b/c everything they do is incredible!


So far, I have-

~With Oden on Our Side
~Versus the World (bonus edition w/ live tracks)
~Twilight of the Thunder God (bonus edition w/ live Summer Breeze tracks)
~Fate of Norns

Oh! And, I want to send birthday wishes out to one of our metal chicas!

Happy Birthday Nikki- aka Tat2ddisneymom

Throwin' up the horns in your honor!

 

[celestialred]

Add me to the list of those who would throw up the horns with mouse ears on top of them. If it's loud and it rocks, it gets cranked. Personally, I'm more of an 80s hair bands/prog/industrial type rocker. Not so much into the Cookie Monster vocalists but they have their place and my respect. To age myself here, I had the distinct pleasure of seeing Pantera (RIP Dimebag) open for Skid Row in '92, and skipped my junior prom to do it! Now either go get me a beer or get off my lawn...

Very bummed about Dio and Peter Steele. I saw Type O twice (once with Pantera and once with Queensryche) and those guys put on a great show. They didn't deserve all the crap people threw their way. Never got to see Dio but my friend did, and he autographed a Magic the Gathering card for her (yes we play, yes we're geeks too). She said he was such a nice guy.

 

[SoScary'09]

Reeaallly OT but....

GO FLYERS!!!!

Welcome Nicole! Glad to have you join the ranks!

I started out with the 80s hair bands. But then one day I heard Metallica and that was it- forget the glam! I wanted the grungy, ca-runch! I only started listeing to the heavy (cookie monster stuff) about 4 years ago! I never liked it, but the more I listened- the more I appreciated it.

I can't stand some of the newer stuff- where all they do is SCREAM- OMG be quiet for crying out loud! If I am not mistaken, As I lay Dying and Dillinger Escape Plan does a lot of screaming. (Metal correct me if I am wrong) ew, and, Iwrestledabearonce- no thanks.

I will stick with my growling guys

Oh- the other night during the Flyers game, they played a commercial for the Stanley Cup and the song during the commercial was one of Eminem's!!!! (the only reason I knew it was b/c it sad it at the bottom of the screem) I said to DH- hold the phone! WTH is going on here- there is no rappin' in hockey! Hockey is about some blood, crunch and metal! Don't you know, they came back from commercial to the game and the venue was playing Marilyn Manson, I said "Now THAT'S more like it!!" I say whomever wrote that commercial should be fired! ASAP!

 

[maddhatir]

Reeaallly OT but....

GO FLYERS!!!!

Never OT! Hockey and metal go hand in hand. That is funny b/c I did not see your post before I wrote my little story below about the hockey commercial!

BTW! LET'S GO FLYERS! Where's Brock!? He's a Philly guy!!

Welcome to the group of Disers who Blast it Loud and Proud!!!!


If you like the sound of the 80's and Magic The Gathering I am surprised that you didn't mention Power Metal as a like, if you need a list of suggestions I will be more than happy to give you a bunch.... My top 3 sub-genres are Thrash, Power Metal and Melodic Death then everything else......

That's awesome that you saw Pantera back in 1992 I was only 12 in '92 so I didn't get to see them until 1995 but I saw them live 7 times from 1995 - 2000. Before Dime was murdered they were actually thinking about doing a reunion show with Terrence Lee on vocals which would have been awesome "Projects in the Jungle" and "I Am the Night" are amazing albums!!! That would have been worth the trip to Vinnie's place just for that show!!!

Speaking of Pantera, anyone else download The Great Southern Trendkill for Rock Band yet? The entire album is on there with the exception of Suicide Note Pt 1 Booooo!!!!! But Part 2, TGSTK and War Nerve still have the guest vocals of Seth Putnam from the band I cannot say on here A.C. ......On the Live 101 Proof tour back in '98 I actually saw A.C. open for Pantera so Seth came out on stage and did his vocals on those songs it was so Metal!!!! Another cool thing at that show Scott Ian came out and played New Level with Dime the twin solo attack brought that song to well a "New Level"......it's ok I'll be here all week

Even though I love the fact that they went with TGSTK on Rock Band over the softer more popular Vulgar or Far Beyond I find it humorously ironic that this album is on Rock Band which is as trendy as it gets.

Sorry I don't know how to do that multiple quote deal....
Maddhatir - No love for iwrestledabearonce??? I'm not a huge fan either but I must admit the song "Alaskan Flounder Basket" has the greatest sample ever for the intro....I wouldn't consider either iwresteledabearonce or The Dillinger Escape Plan them Metal anyway I would say they are Mathcore which is another word for experimental ear pollution LOL Dillinger had one ok album with Mike Patton on vocals but overall they are nothing special....

I like Metalcore bands such as As I Lay Dying (despite that bands lyrical themes) I like their music...But then again that is because I am from Boston one of the homes of Metalcore as it gave birth to almost all of the good ones such as Diecast, Shadows Fall, All That Remains, Unearth and Killswitch Engage. I have seen all of those bands live way too many times to count....

I think that the "newer" screaming when done right has it's place and can been very enjoyable, for example all of the aforementioned Metalcore bands from Boston do it right. But I agree some of the "newer" bands are a horrible waste of time.....

 

[celestialred]

metalis4ever - please feel free to list some Power Metal bands - I probably would recognize them. Truly, I am out of the loop on subgenres nowadays.

Right now in my car I have CD's from Avenged Sevenfold, Lacuna Coil, Coheed and Cambria, and for good measure White Zombie's Astro Creep 2000. No newfangled iPod or XM for this old geezer. Back when I was a wee lass, my parents tortured me with their 60's doo-wop songs; now I get to torment my kids (my 5 yr old especially) with the 80s rock that the classic rock station plays. Now there's your circle of life.

I saw Metallica once in '91 I believe - the Black tour. First time I ever got high......good times. Oh to be young and irresponsible again. When "Reload" came out I was working at a Sam Goody as an asst mgr and it was blasted after-hours on a regular basis. I have irked many a WW2 vet/mallcop with shenanigans like that.

I am new to the boards, and thus new to this thread, so I haven't read the whole thing except the first post and the ones on this page.

Just wanted to give a HAILs to all my fellow Disney fan metalheads. I like almost all music, and this includes a good heavy dose of metal. In fact, I mostly listen to either metal or "roots" music (old time music, delta blues, etc.).

As for metal, my tastes change on a near-constant basis. Currently, I'm listening to a mix of stoner/doom and black metal, with a little thrash thrown in for good measure.

Welcome 7th Ave! \m/

I am with you on the old music- I like old blues. And believe it or not I listen to the '40s station on Sirius! I wish they went as far back as the '20s, but no such luck.

Speaking of stoner metal- I was thinking about getting Katatonia tix- not sure though. Anyone have any thoughts? I never saw them before.

Last night I was glued to Youtube watching non-stop Amon Amarth. I like the live 2007 Summer Breeze vids. I watched some Johan interviews too.

 

[the7thAve]

I like Katatonia a little bit. I would definitely go see them, but that's only because I never pass up an opportunity to see any metal band from Sweden or Norway, lol.

It was just a figure of speech But then again, the loss itself is still sad. October Rust is one of my favorite albums OF ALL TIME

It should just be fall all year round

Katatonia are amazing....but if you see them live remember they are very low key...I have seen them twice once a long time ago '99 and then again in 2009...One cannot compare 1999 Katatonia to present day it's as if they are 2 separate bands but I must say they were quite impressive live both times. I say go for it

Amon Amarth is far and away the best Melodic Death Metal band!!! Johan is the Norse God of Death Metal \m/ -_- \m/
