Metal Music General - All Sub-Genres Welcome

There! Gary Holt likes MCR.
 
On the perspective of those retarded metal elitists, they would think this was a shot to their nuts.

Anyone else here a big fan of Manowar?
 
Into Glory Ride and Hail To England in particular are top-tier.

The fuckin’ neighbors almost burned my house down and the stereo got fried, I slammed it on the ground and a CD appeared.
 
Maybe the second or third time I had to do this.
 
I’m listening to it right now 🖕🏻

@Lord Hypno
 
Dark Avenger would be my Stand.
 
So yes, I quite like ManoWar

@Zincy  
Dark Avenger, by far the best track off the debut album

@Lord Hypno
 
I’ll fully admit, I prefer the re-release of Battle Hymns. Because, well, Christopher Lee.
 
The greatest metal fan ever.

@Zincy  
I prefer the original version of the album, I like the old school, raw sounding production style better.

Any of you ever hear a sequel album so bad that it sours the original for you?

@TheHappySpaceman  
Bob Marlette did some good work.
 
I’ll have to get up off my ass and grab the headphones.
 
He did work with Alice Cooper and Rob Zombie I’d like to hear more of.

@TheHappySpaceman  
Nah, a truly great album will always stand up well on it’s own for me even if it has a bad sequel.

@Lord Hypno  
True.
 
I’m just… really dreading having to listen to Operation: Mindcrime II after the original was so good.

@TheHappySpaceman  
Yeah I know the sequel album to Mindcrime was pretty subpar to the original.
 
But the original was still great.
 
Honestly though, Operation Mindcrime isn’t even my favorite Queensryche release, my favorite album from the band would be The Warning.

@Lord Hypno  
Ah, their first full length release?

We might be seeing Maiden/Priest tour after all.
 
Halford: “I wanna make it happen”  
Harris: “Why not?”

@TheHappySpaceman  
Queensryche’s debut album is the best.
 
Their first EP that came before the debut is also great.

@Lord Hypno  
Haven’t listened to either all the way through, but I do enjoy “Queen of the Reich” and “Take Hold of the Flame.” Geoff’s singing voice was incredible back then.

@TheHappySpaceman  
I recommend listening to both of them all the way through if you ever get the chance, they’re both amazing.

Children of Bodom will no longer be called Children of Bodom soon.

Batushka 2.

Rage For Order is what I hold as the best Queensryche album. I really like the more melancholy gothy synth stuff they dabbled in.

So Ozzy Osbourne just released a new single with Slash.
 
It, uhhhh… it kicks ass.

@Count Adramélekh Sear  
…waitwat?
