Me either, I also do not like The Doors or the Beatles.

I like Pantera's 80s material better then some of their later albums.
I'm with ya on the Doors (mostly) and the Beatles (especially!) but the Led Zep box set changed my mind on that band.

Here's something that'll get my metal card revoked, I really like keyboards.

Also I quite enjoy Raven- The Pack Is Back.

Pantera is WAY overrated, but this is coming from a guy who grew up on 80's metal bands... I can kinda see them as being the "big thing in metal" for someone 10 years younger than me who grew up during the 90s.

Overkill's "Hello From The Gutter" is one of their most popular staple concert songs, but that song is just average. There are many, many much better Overkill songs than that one.

The tri-tone is not evil.

I do, too. Nothing un-metal about that at all. Unless they're played in a non-metal way, making it sound like something other than metal.

I like some metalcore. Converge, Poison the Well, Zao, etc.

I'm not huge on thrash, usually. (Unless it's live, I think. I really enjoyed the intensity of the Anthrax show last weekend).

My favorite Def Leppard album is Pyromania.

I don't enjoy Manowar at all, save for the song "Gloves of Metal".

Power Windows is a fantastic Rush album; their last awesome one for a long while.

I like Tool quite a bit.

You think so? I'll raise you one:

Beyond a few months when I was around 15, AC/DC have never interested me. I like about three to four songs, but the rest bore me to tears.

Oh, I agree with Kiss. I tried and tried and tried to get into Kiss, but nothing ever really clicked with me.

The only Kiss song's I've truly enjoyed were the extra tracks from the Killers LP that were included on the greatest hits comp I have.

Add another one to the Dead To Me List. Very Happy

Not yet but you're on life support. A slam against AC/DC might pull your plug.

Hey, I just made a funny. AC/DC, pull the plug... I crack me up!

In almost every case I'll take music from the 70s over music from the 80s & 90s.

Probably about 80% of the music I listened to during the 1980s and 1990s I no longer own and have no desire to revisit.

The only negative I have about AC/DC is that I can't stand Brian Johnson. I only really dig Bon Scott-era stuff.

But remember, we both like Jethro Tull and Steely Dan! Razz

AND...while I don't dislike Brian Johnson as much as you apparently do, I much prefer the Bon Scott stuff.

Woah. Is this what common ground feels like? Laughing

This one will probably make me unpopular 'round these parts:

I have never understood why Vengeance Rising are so revered. To me they were a competent, if unspectacular, thrash band, albeit with one of the more irritating vocalists I'd ever heard.

... and before anyone tells me "Ohhh, you had to be there," I WAS there. I remember all the whoop-de-doo about'em when they came out, I checked'em out, they did nothin' for me then and they do nothin' for me now.

I don't like Vengeance Rising either, even putting the lyrics aside(which are hard take seriously now anyways considering the lead singer is no longer a christian), the music just dosen't blow me away. Also not a huge fan of Bride, lyrics-wise I find them awfully heavy-handed and music-wise I think they're merely OK.

As for Mortification, I actually like Silver Chord Is Severed better then some of their more well-known output.

I like vengeance rising (particularly human sacrifice), but I can't listen to them as much as a lot of other thrash bands because Martinez's vocals grate on my nerves. I like the music on the first two a lot, though. I just wish they had a different vocalist.

On a similar note, i think synthesizers do have a place in metal, especially in helping create a tone or atmosphere for a certain song.

I'm not a huge fan of synthesizers but I think grand pianos, electric pianos and Hammond organs sound great in metal.

This thread is awesome. I agree with a lot of opinions expressed already:
AC/DC sucks because their songs are uninteresting.
KISS also sucks.
Totally agree that Vengeance Rising are overrated. I haven't listened to their first two cds in at least a few years.

I also think Deliverance are incredibly overrated. When I was first really getting into the early Christian thrash bands around 2001 I really liked Deliverance. Now I avoid them like the plague. I should just get rid of the first two cds at some point, but I'm too lazy to even bother.

Oh, I also think that almost all of Ozzy's solo material sucks. I think that No More Tears is his only really good album, and even that one I haven't bothered to listen to in quite a few years. Otherwise I just like a couple songs off of the first few albums and that's it.

I don't particularly like Deliverance either, also not that big of a Stryper fan. I prefer Christian bands that take a more subtle approach with their lyrics like Ransom.

Speaking of Ozzy, in Black Sabbath I actually prefer albums like Forbidden, Cross Purposes, TYR and Headless Cross over some of the Ozzy era stuff.
