Allan Holdsworth's solo on Joint Ventures is one of my favorites. It's his style, but really over a Jens Johansson backing, which is freaking sweet, plus the keyboard solo that follows it is the best keyboard solo ever, just about. This is style.

At least 3/4 of the guys who were influenced by Metallica have never even heard of Diamond Head.

I'll prbably catch flak for this, but I'm a super big fan of "Stream of Passion's" first album. They're not what you're looking for necessarily, but it's a great album IMO.

I haven't been able to get onto MA for like a week. Finally, I was able to get on it today. This is a recommendation thread for bands similar to Nile, anyways. Oh well.

What does tech death metal have to do with bedroom black metal? I actually came here wanting to check out something new, so I DLed a demo of this garbage. Nice prank.

Anything by Disturbed or that other Disturbed wannabe band. Any band that wants to be Disturbed sucks. What was their name again...

Spawn of Posession Pavor The Faceless Theory In Practice Although none of these bands sound like Necrophagist, or even Nile for that matter. I'll have to check out some of the stuff mentioned I've not heard.

What album was that again? Only BS album I ever owned was Paranoid and it had one good track.

Metallica were influenced by Diamond Head, but they obviously influenced way more people than Diamond Head did. It can be viewed from both sides of the fence. I don't think that their importance is overrated, necessarily. KEA is probably the most influential album overall for ME, especially...

Bwahahahahaha, totally agree, but I've seen way "less" metal bands on the Metal-Archives.

Burzum is some of the deepest music I have ever heard, and definitely some of the deepest metal I have ever heard. I haven't listened to him in at least 2 1/2 years. Getting that time, haha.

I was kind of aurprised that "Periphery" were not on there. If they're not metal then what are they?

Well, I've definitely heard a lot worse than Dimmu, and by those standards I would say they're a 5/10. Cradle is... a 6.5/10 maybe, which is kind of high by my rating scale.

Steve Vai's "Tender Surrender" Yngwie Malmsteen's... Well... A lot of his stuff... But maybe "I Am A Vking". Worst lyrics ever but most jamming song ever.

Dimmu are really bland and boring. Cradle at least can keep things remotely interesting.
