Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo Any other metal heads on the forum?

Thanks for all the suggestions. I keep a shopping list of sorts on my Blackberry for those very few times lately I have extra cash to spend.

Yes, I agree!

I listen to all types of music, and my main "brand" is rock/hard rock/metal. I really enjoy most, especially Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Y&T, AC/DC, and some of the lesser knowns - Saxon, Krokus,Tesla...and the list could go on forever...

I think that the lines get blurred and we try too hard to categorize bands. I have approximately 2000 pieces of music (CD's and LP's), and it would take days to get a list of the good works.

It would certainly be a walk down memory lane!!!

Maiden's "Rock in Rio" finally arrived!!
Wow! Just Wow!

Also inspired me to finally watch, "Metal, a Headbangers Journey" that I had on my PVR for weeks. A very interesting documentary on the origin's, growth and current state of all types of metal and it's fans. It's a must see for anybody interested not just in metal, but in sociology or phsycology.

Speaking of pshycology, last year I went on a work trip trip where I also went to see a friend play in a symphony, we went to a Blues club afterwards and then I flew back and stayed an extra night in Halifax for a Motley Crue concert with my brother. You should have seen my schytzophrenic suitcase of clothes.

I wouldn't consider myself strictly a metal head but I do listen to a lot of heavy music that does get lumped into the metal genre. As far as metal I listen to a lot of doom, drone, sludge, crust, d-beat and even old school death and black metal if I'm in the right mood.

I'm sure after sharing I've now lost any potential friends I could have made on this forum!

>And don't tell me crust has to do with the sound that 3-day >old underwear makes!!

Well no, but the people making it might know that sound intimately...heh.

Reading this thread I wanted to make a shameless plug for a radio show I sort of grew up listening to, http://www.rootofallevil.com/ played on a Minneapolis community radio station http://www.kfai.org/

Okay, well maybe not grew up, but I first discovered it when I was 14 or 15 and am now 30. But it's the only show of its kind that I've heard. Usually starting at 1:06 (66) in the morning of Sunday (CST) and going until 6:06 (66) am. Usually it will start off playing stuff like bootleg Iron Maiden, Manowar, Black Sabbath, maybe Dead Kennedys, and then sort of slowly descends down that path (Metallica to Brujeria to Pestilence to Goatlord to whatever nonsenseblackmetalyoukidsareintothesedays...or maybe Frank Zappa).

To be honest, since moving from Mpls years ago I've not had much of a chance to listen to the show, lacking a high-speed Internet connection at home, but I wanted to make the plug all the same. Earl Root(who, from the site, sounds like he's fallen quite ill since I've left home, my heart goes out to him), the DJ, is just about the most stand-up straight-shooting goofball metalhead you'll ever know. So give the show a listen if you've got the hours. Not the best quality and you need RealPlayer (bleh), but worth checking out at least an archive or two if you're into metal.

Greetings all,

This is my first post after reading the Axiom forums for months. As a metalhead for 25 years, I figured this forum would be the appropriate place to dive in.

Some of my favourites of the past few years that I'd recommend checking out:

Lamb of God - Sacrament
Fear Factory - Demanufacture (reissue; killer sound)
Hanzel und Gretyl - Scheissmessiah (industrial metal)
Judas Priest - Vengeance and Defenders (remastered - again, excellent sound)
Children of Bodom - Hate Crew Deathroll; Are you Dead Yet?
Dark Tranquility - Character
Rammstein - any and all albums

And, for those who only go as far as hard rock:

Wolfmother - s/t
Priestess - Hello Master
Monster Magnet - Monolithic Baby!

I "only" have a pair of M3's as my receiver is in the living room. But, man, they really, really kick!

Ahhh ... that felt good.
