Metal band for non metalheads.

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Mastodon is very popular within indie rock and hardcore cirlces, but I doubt many pop or radio rock (i.e. Nickleback) fans like them.

What do radio rock people like for metal?

 

[DarkBliss]

Metallica, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden

 

[Badbird]

Don't forget Pantera,Megadeth,and Ozzy solo music too.Radio rock people like that music.

 

[DarkBliss]

Mustaine's vocals are an acquired taste, apparently:zombie:

 

[Badbird]

I didn't say I liked the bands.I said people that listen to radio rock bands like them.

 

[DarkBliss]

And I mentioned the above as a challenging factor for liking Megadeth.

 

[Mentok]

I voted Sabbath, though I can see Metallica winning. Everyone knows Iron Man and Paranoid though.

I can see why people don't like Megadeth.Mustaine voice is a thing to get used to when listening to Megadeth music.

 

[Doomguy]

I cannot picture a non-metalhead listening to Burzum or Wolves in the Throne Room.

Iron Maiden takes my vote; I know plenty of non-metalheads who are fans.

 

[JGMetalhead]

Apparently Metallica for the most part. Sure alot of people like Sabbath as well but do look back on what I said about Metallica's 9 grammies. Bingo...

 

[Avigrus]

I've managed to coax my friends into Paradise Lost, Devin Townsend and Iced Earth - all relatively easy to listen to. They didn't really like Wormed when i played it for them.

to this day, i still dont get it. people listen to demilich for fucks sake and still have the audacity to say 'i cant handle/stand mustaine's vocals'. fair point to say megadeth has released a plethora of shit albums, but there's some quality there too which is well worth a listen.

 

[JGMetalhead]

Mustaine's vocals aren't really that much of an acquired taste. Besides... Megadeth didn't really release alot of fantastic albums from what I remember.

Did anyone read the av club top metal list cookiecutter(Nick)posted?

 

[wandering_taco]

the only megadeth that ive heard and been able to get into was on Countdown to Extinction.

 

[SouthernTrendkill]

I cannot picture a non-metalhead listening to Burzum or Wolves in the Throne Room.

They're definetly big with hipsters these days. When I run into hipsters on the internet they're usually a fan of both. I don't know HOW big they are but they seem pretty big from the people I've run into.

 

[Lateralus14]

So, just a random point, I really hope no one has anything against any of these bands because of their fanbases and we're all just acknowledging some facts about said fanbases and not implying anything about musical quality.

 

[Harry Hughes]

Isis being a post metal band, is obviously in a genre that has close links to post rock.
Meaning that post rock fans that don't normally dig metal tend to sometimes dig post metal.

I am surpise the same way.I didn't think bands like thoese would be big with Pitchfork people,but they are.
