Man maiden kick ass, saw them in manny in december and it was awesome, deffo one of the greatest live bands ever. if any of you lot havent heard the new maiden album, go now and get it, its some of their best work.
incidently Highway star, how appropriate a name mate for this thread! great deep purple tune (before my time but great tune non the less). some other tunes that rock from this era are Rock & Roll, Hoochie Koo - Rick Derringer, Stranglehold - Ted Nugent, and ofcourse Paranoid - Black Sabbath.

I think they wrote the defenition of 'Heavy Metal' back in the early 70's. Now I guess we would call it symphonic or progressive and dump them in the same pile as Yes, Rush et al.
I'd argue that Sabbath defined 'heavy metal' as soon as they changed their name from 'earth' and wrote Black Sabbath.
indeed - what is this, that stands before me?
There is as much metal I can't listen to as well as the stuff I love - Rammestein for example - wtf? I just don't get it, I'm sure it's a joke band - like Crocs are joke shoes & there is some mad 
er laughing their head off at all the idiots wearing them, expect Rammestein to turn round one day & say ahhhh haaaa gotcha!

And The Red Elvises.
Go figure.

Aye, damn right, the riff from the title track still stands as metal riff today.
Mind you some songs are like that, Smells Like Teen Spirit still sounds as fresh today as it did in what, 90, 91?

Teen Spirit is about as metal as hydrogen.

oh i love maiden live!

I always preferred the fourth side of that double LP, from Hammersmith. Played it so much that the needle ended up skipping!
Saw them live in the 80s or 90s, they were fab.

It's somewhat weirder than that.

I thought that Mezmerize wasn't a patch on Hypnotize. Proper disappointed, I was.

Some of Petrucci's playing on the new Dream Theatre CD, Systematic Chaos, makes Dragonforce sound like they're playing a slow blues.
Which track(s) - so far not heard anything I haven't already.
Love the wank he has during Afterlife (When Dream And Day Unite, and Score 20th Anniversary - Live)
Curve solo from his own Suspended Animation album is up there with best runs he's done, inc. Liquid Tension Experiment.

er laughing their head off at all the idiots wearing them, expect Rammestein to turn round one day & say ahhhh haaaa gotcha! It is, but that's all part of the appeal, go see em live, they are fantastic and send themselves up mercilessly. I love em
I'm currently listening to a lot of:
Lacuna Coil
Within Temptation
The Gathering
Opeth (recent discovery - very good!)
Disturbed
Metallica (live)
Stone Sour
Killswitch Engage
Sikth
Strapping Young Lad/Devin Townsend
VAST
Sepultura (old)
Soulfly
Tool
Motley Crue
and a load of industrial stuff noone has ever heard of.

I've just cranked up "The Sound Of Perseverance" by Death.
What a remarkable album. The cover of Judas Priest's Painkiller is nothing short of a metal masterpiece.

Great album - Death were a great band. Early stuff like Leprosy is awesome - Individual Thought Patterns is prob my favourite though.

From 1:45 to 2:10 on 'In the Presence of Enemies Pt1', think my speakers have just melted. Not arf...

Yep, fair bit of picking there - but wouldn't say it puts Dragonforce to shame. Herman Li is a helluva demon shredder and whilst John is certainly no slouch, I don't think he's quite on HL's level.
Just watched Score's Afterlife and listened to Curve again - still think he shreds faster on those than ITPOE pt.1.
Irrespective, I'd give my right one to play like that.

One record that's been rocking my socks lately is Darkthrone's "The Cult is Alive". Yeah, it's basic, raw and not a little silly, but it has a brilliant sneering attitude about it which reminds me of Motorhead. They appear to have morphed into a punk version of Celtic Frost, complete with Fenriz doing his best Tom G Warrior impression on "Graveyard Slut". True, were it anyone other than Darkthrone, it would be utterly retarded, but they get away with it somehow.
The other thing I've had on heavy rotation lately is "The Temporary Nature" by Wooly Mammoth. Sort of heavier version of Kyuss that grooves like a bastard.

Have a soft spot for this sort of stuff...has a sense of space which draws me in. Actually prefer it to the massively technical stuff, as it just feels more real, whatever that means.
