Metal Reviews

I forgot about Coheed and Cambria...they're probably my favorite mainstream band. I wasn't really thinking of Rush and Pink Floyd as mainstream, but I like them as well...

Maiden, Megadeth, all that stuff...
and for non metal, Damien Rice, Cat Stevens, that sort of shit...

Jesus Christ, I like Kelly Clarkson too!! She's definitely METAAAALL!! Haha.

I love Iron Maiden, Megadeth, RHCP, and the Offspring.

Early days Offspring.

2 Unlimited, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Captain Jack, (i don't wanna sound gay or anything, but...) Depeche Mode, Dr. Alban, Haddaway, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin... Tons of stuff really.

Ah, the ususal suspects like AiC, Soundgarden, TOOL, Type O Negative, a lot old Classic Rock(Cream, Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, AC/DC, etc.), Stevie Ray Vaughn is awesome times 1,000.

And, noodles, I guess the Mars Volta would be considered mainstream now, MTV found out who they are.

I guess recently stuff like AFI's new album and some HIM, I have some younger friends that dig on this stuff (and I own HIM albums).

Theirs lots of mainstream bands I actually like namely:

Arcade Fire
Live
The Smashing Pumpkins
Moist (2 first albums)
Our Lady Peace
Soundgarden
My chemical Romance ( The black parade )
Wolfmother
Coldplay
The Tea Party
Matthew Good Band / Matthew Good
Jimmy Eat World
Weezer
The Pixies
The Police
Scorpions
Alexisonfire
Goo Goo dolls (the older material)
A Perfect Circle
Oasis ( first 2 albums)
The Cranberries
Stabbing Westward

and the lis goes on....

I've been listening to many of the bands in my list since my teen years
and I keep going back to those albums..

I was a huge fan of Michael Jackson. I also used to like Duran Duran. But lost track of them ages ago. Among my fav bands, the only one that acheived major commercial success is Iron Maiden.

Aqua
Death Cab for Cutie
Tegan and Sara
Meg & Dia

Rock-ish stuff:
Jethro Tull
Black Sabbath
Soundgarden
Alice In Chains
Tool
Fear Factory
Nine Inch Nails
Stabbing Westward
Marilyn Manson (aaahhh... the angsty teenage years)

Un-Rock-ish stuff:
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
NoFx (yeah, they can bitch all they want about how every other band in the world 'sold out', and that they've never had a video or a radio song, but they're mainstream. even mallpunks know NoFx)

the police
pink floyd
rush
the beatles
david bowie
janes addiction, I have always liked them more than RHCP, much more interesting songs imo

porno for pyros
preidents of the united states of america
the doors
everclear

Pretty much everything. I'm really unmetal when you get down to it.

We know.

Hey, I'm proud of it!

Oh please no!


I like Avenged Sevenfold. Yeah! They can play their instruments like a mother and I don't care if they're fags.

Whenever her first CD came out, Jeff Loomis revealed in a GuitarWorld interview that he was listening to it on their Gigantour (?). That actually seems to be pretty common. When I talked to James Malone the last time I went to an Arsis show, he listens to pop on the road more than anything else. Which makes him even metaller than before!

Damn, she must have some influence on metal, lol. I've got a friend who bashes me for listening to Kelly, and he's a big fan of Jeff. It's payback time now I guess.

I got accosted by members of a Death Cab for Cutie street team (4-5 people) one day last year on the Penn State University campus. They told me to go to the upcoming show and when I told them I had never heard of DCfC they condescendingly insisted again that I see the show. Then I walked away and I could overhear them making fun of me. Very bizarre experience---and very rude people.

It's funny what some metal bands listen to, all of the members of The Dillinger Escape Plan like relaxing pop music
