Hey i didnt mean to start shit, i just wanted to know whats out there.

also i didnt see the Recommendations Thread.

Don't worry about it. Just use the Recommendations Thread from now on.

Don't worry about what other people say, either. Listen to what you want, but also try to keep an open mind and expand your musical tastes.

[Young Unknown]

i'll keep that in mind, but i never said i didnt like them, Jester Race is still one of my favs, im just seeing what elts is out there.

 

[Alongside Death]

I recommend you:
Arcturus - La Masquerade Infernale
Bathory - Hammerheart
At The Gates - Slaughter The Soul
Borknagar - Quintessence
Demolition Hammer - Epidemic Of Violence (!!!)
Hypocrisy - The Arrival
Immortal - At The Heart Of Winter
Martyr - Warp Zone


And if you are just starting to listen metal, and you don't know shit about it I think this would be a good start:
Murderdolls - The Valley Of The Murderdolls
Unearth - The Oncoming Storm


Btw the ,,!!!" means that Epidemic Of Violence is a fucking great album

I just heard Seventh Son Of a Seventh son by Iron Maiden and its great,

i have now heard 5 Iron Maiden albums and all kick ass

Number Of The Beast
Piece Of Mind
Powerslave
Seventh Son
Dance Of Death

any others i should check out by them? i heard the albums from the 90's are not that great so i probably wont check them out, but how is their stuff Pre Bruce?

Also heard Amon Amarth's "Fate Of Norns" Its a good death metal album imo, but then again i have not heard alot of death/black metal besides Opeth if they count

Their 90's stuff isn't too bad, though a lot of the Blaze stuff I can live without. Doesn't really help that I saw Blaze sing with them in 1998 and still think he can't sing worth a shit.

The stuff with Paul Di'anno ("Pre Bruce," as you say) is really good and shows them in their formative stage. Iron Maiden is very raw, and Killers shows them start to move into the sound they would keep through the 1980s.

If you can find copies of Maiden Japan or Live +1, I highly recommend them.

Don't worry, Paddy. No one was calling Kreator nu-metal. He was calling Sevendust and Ill Nino nu-metal.

 

[Krakatau]

Young Unknown: Seventh Son of a Seventh Son is indeed a great album. Since you like that, try Somewhere in Time. It's also atmospheric, proggish album with synths. And you gotta check out Maiden's first two albums - two of the most important albums of the NWOBHM movement. Killers is one of the best Maiden albums IMO. And Beast Over Hammersmith is the best live Maiden album (much better than Live After Death or any other live Maiden album IMO), but probably won't find it any where unless you buy Eddie's Archive, which costs big money IMO.

 

[Teh Grimace]

am i the only person who didn't at some point listen to nu metal... i never "grew out" of any kind of music, there's nothing i once listened to that i am now embarrassed to have liked... i pretty much at around 10 or 11 went from listening to the mighty mighty bosstones to listening to black metal and that was that, there was no transition period where i listened to lame faggy mainstream "metal" before finding the good stuff...
