I never listened to ZZ Top, but Keelhaul's cover of Just Got Paid is good.

Speaking of which, anyone here who likes metal should check out Keelhaul. You guys like metal, right? Then check them out.

How 'bout Yob? very good sludge.

and wait a minute. You mean to tell me you don't listen to Yes? As someone who likes prog rock, you ought to give them a listen. Fragile is a fantastic album.

or some good Japanese composers such as Yoko Kanno and Yuji Ohno. And if you dig instrumental hip hop with jazz influence (and samples) Yesterday's New Quintet is very good chill shit. I have the album Angels Without Edges. It's pretty much Madlib under a different name, but hey, It's another "Y"!

And yeah, Yearning is good doom metal.

Oh yeah, and Z.

Zoroaster and Zebulon Pike are both good sludge bands, and Zemial is pretty good black metal. Zandelle is decent power metal.

You all should check out Zonata if you like POWAR.

I'd just like to say, that there's a huge difference considering black metal is often connected to norway.

Every country of importance has produced a fair number of death metal bands.

Fuck, even Poland has popped out Vader and Decapitated.

Metal Hell isn't the be-all end all of metal, and neither is Metal-Archives.

Nor is it a place to be pretentious and elitist. (unless your name is PONOS).

Idio mentioned them way back and I've loved them ever since.

This. They're my only Y (thats Metal).

My only Z is Zaius, they'll be Doom of some sort but I've not listened to them.

As far as I'm concerned, this has nothing to do with your knowledge of metal. You're just being a cock.

He his right about this part. It's true that regulars of the Metal Hell are acting like they know everything about Metal. He is not the first one to point this out. This is why we are still a bunch of elitists.

The guy is not dumb. He prooved that he knows some stuff about metal. His interpretations may not fit the typical views of the Metal Hell, but as I said before... we need to stop acting like if our opinions are indisputable truths and open our minds to new intepretations. We should also show more respect for our newest users.

I'm not saying that he was right or wrong, but we really are threating new users like shit here. I guess it's true that he has misinterpreted some of Bruce's posts... but we are still going too hard on him.

Em... I've also read some stuff against Death Metal on this page... makes me sad... Death Metal is pure win :)

August 17th im Chicago Ozzfest. Can't wait theres supposed to be a few good bands there such as Kataklysm,Goatwhore, Judas Preist, and of course ozzy.

Yes, Iron Maiden fanboys are annoying in general. Dimebag fanboys are also pretty annoying..Kai Hansen fanboys, good thing he's not that famous. But still, every band has it's fanboys.

He had to. I can't believe I forgot to mention Dimebag's fanboys!

Come on though, you know its true. No one gets quite as butthurt as Pantera fans do when you criticise them.

'and slaughter u while playing slaughted by pantera'

Made me think its really lucky Pantera don't have a song called 'Suck You Off' or something.

Never seen anybody discussing their stuff in here and that's sad. All their lyrics are in Spanish, but it's amongs the greatest folk bands out there. Their music if pure epic fucking win. The album Finisterra which is in two parts is awesome from the very beginning of the album and will kick you ass until the end of the last song of the album that is a 15 minutes long track with various riffs and melodies from other songs they wrote in a big medley. I really think you guys should check them out.
I guess you guys can do the researches by yourself on Metal Archives and YouTube, but if you need any guidelines on what you should check first by them, just ask me :)

Only this song can describe my dreams.

Yakuza and Yearning? Sound like good recommendations, although I'm sure I was recommenDed to listen to Yearning before.

I would get some Yes albums myself but the problem is that my dad already has a few of them and it's best for all the CDs by one artist to be in one place and not two.

i dont like black metal, but i gotta say that song aint bad.. the guitaring and drumming is quite brilliant, and the singing isnt that bad, well, i dont like the singing, but thats my opinion, as a song its quite good however

I don't remember if I posted this band here before or not, but are any of you guys fans of early 80s USPM?

You know what really bugs me about Pantera fans?

Dimebag wasn't even that good. He was great, yeah, but he didn't really pioneer anything like some other Metal guitarists did. Any death is a tragedy, and the death of a well-respected musician in particular, but some of Pantera's fans make him out to be some kind of god.

Because as someone said earlier Immortal is unique. No one can sound like them.

I don't think any band can be unique, every known band has a band that is influenced by it (if not, a band that copies the band)

I like a guitar solo their guitarrist does live, my friend used to listen to it, but I didn't dig it that much.
Funny that you're the second one that mentions them today, and I was like "wtf you know these guys?" to the first person.

That's a pretty pessimistic way of looking at band styles. I can name at least two dozen bands off the top of my head with a unique sound that they would be immediately identifiable for.
