Forums → Popular Media → Good metal bands to listen to...?

I've just come to say 90% of you people are f*cking idiots when it comes to metal. Bands like Disturbed, Nirvana, NICKELBACK, Evanescence, Drowning Pool, Seether, Static-X, and Godsmack are NOT metal. And also, it's not "trash" metal, it's THRASH.

I totally agree with nickelbacksucks.

Prog Metal all the way:
Between The Buried And Me
Spastic Ink
Dream Theater
Opeth
Ayreon

Between The Buried And Me

megadeth
