The Almighty's favorite: Need you ask? GODSMACK

See these guys LIVE if you have a chance!

Chimaira is awesome
Slipknot
Children of Bodom
Shadows Fall
Lamb of God
Killswitch Engage

Have...they are flawless. Love Godsmack!

For all of you S.O.D. / M.O.D. fantatics, you gotta read Billy Milano's website. Fucking hilarious. It should also get a rise out of some of you liberals on the board, pretty fucking funny.

some great bands mentioned in thsi thread, but wow, someone else who's heard of The Crumbsuckers!

This thread also mentioned DeadHorse...holy shit...

...and of course SLAYER "Reign In Blood" THE perfect album.

I'd also have to mention Corrosion Of Conformity, Cryptic Slaughter, Bad Brains, Ludichrist, Halo of Flies and DI

I see we both show about the same age ;-)

If you like COC you have to check out my friends band.

If COC had kept going and got a bit heavier they'd sound like this.

Will have to check it out too. I like C.O.C. Need to check out some of your stuff too I heard a bit on myspace or something the other day I think when someone posted about it.

I remember back (when I lived) in El Paso, TX too there was a band called Malignant that played that was killer. Never heard anything else about them, but they were awesome live. Don't think they ever got signed.

The days of Big record deals for rock bands are over. We produced and recorded our CD ourselves. Well, we had help from friends and shit...but it came out of our pocket. We have a tentative Distro deal in the works, but need to commit to full time touring to close it.

I figure by spring we'll be on the road, but with no tour support. These days you better have a good head for business if you want to make it as a band.

:pimp

Yeah I am sure, but this was back in the day before Mp3's and file sharing :) I am talking late 80's , early 90's. I am sure it is 10X harder now, but then again, with the internet you can be a success on your own with enough marketing and cut out the middleman, just takes a ton of work. A childhood friend of mine who I don't talk to much anymore is in a band too called Bridge (might not be anymore). He is a phenomenal guitarist, he was a child prodigy, just couldn't get in with the right bands. His name is Paul Moore and is extremely gifted with the axe. Hopefully he gets on with a band that gets signed, he deserves it.

My friends website is http://www.bridge313.com, not much there right now it appears.

I know a ton of super talented muscians that will probably never go anywhere. Being in a band is like being in a relationship except that you don't get to have make up sex.

The Internet had defintely made it easier for less mainstream bands get a solid fan base.

here is another great local metal band. Once again showing the power of the internet. http://www.myspace.com/thineeyesbleed

:2 cents:

Definitely Metallica - Ride the Lightning

And don't forget Motley Crue - Shout at the Devil

And not as Heavy or Hard, but definitely one of the top
AC/DC - Highway to Hell

Yup seen them many many times, great bad always good live and always smashed off theri minds. Great to hang with back in the day, geez i feel old

I'd like to check out some of their tunes

They have any MP3's online anywhere?

Though after looking at their links page I am wondering if I am going to like them.

The Mentors
The Fuck Ups
Poison Idea
Crimpshrine

And everytime I hear a piano I think of the Crumbsuckers.
Anyone remember Day on the Dirt? Do they still do that?

Wow thanks whoever posted Chimaira. I had never listened to them and right now, it's just what the doctor ordered! :thumbsup

motor head ACE OF SPADES

Opeth - Blackwater Park or My Arms, Your Hearse - both are awesome albums.

Listening to The Mentors still cracks me up. On the rag, Sceretary Hump, all that shit is hilarious.
:1orglaugh

Definately a good one, but "Ashes of the Wake" by Lamb of God puts Slayer to shame. Also, if you wait until tomorrow you can get "Killadelphia" by Lamb of God, their new live album that kicks complete and total ass. You'll never be the same. Trust me.

Was Death Angel the Asian Speed Metal band from the Bay Area?

If so, those guys were insane!

If not, well shit what were those guys called?

:thumbsup

Here are , imo, the 2 most underrated heavy albums of all time

this recording set the standard for METAL which has been copied for more than a decade

Anything from SOD, DRI, early Slayer & Anthrax.

parkway drive from australia are probably the best metalcore in the world at the moment.

I thought Black Sabbath set the standard for metal when they tuned down to D begining with MASTER OF REALITY (then Vol 4, then Sabotage). To me those 3 albums define heavy metal, and set the standard for the next 34 years. Don't get me wrong I love Pantera, but Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler had METAL all figured out when the guys in Pantera were in diapers.
