Favorite metal song?

[McNinja]

Mana by Equilibrium. So good.
Also,
and
and even

 

[mercifulwrath]

Opeth- The Leper Affinity. The piano part at the end makes it.

 

[Solo-Wing]

Why is this in the Gaming Discusion? It should be in Off-Topic.
None the less I would say Fuel by Metallica.

 

[B2kCyclops]

I'll try to pick one song of the major genres(which is already hard enough).
With sub-genres, I think I could take a few hours just typing/sorting... XD
Let's see:

Thrash:

Spoiler: Sodom - Masquerade In Blood

Speed:

Spoiler: Blind Guardian(before they started to suck arse) - Traveller In Time

OR

Spoiler: Running Wild - Riding The Storm

NWOBHM:

Spoiler: Angel Witch - Angel Witch

Power:

Spoiler: Grave Digger - Rebellion

Medieval:

Spoiler: In Extremo - Totus Floreo

Folk:

Spoiler: Subway To Sally - Grabrede

Industrial:

Death:

Spoiler: Dark Tranquillity(technically melodic death, but who cares) - Therein

Heavy:

Spoiler: Black Sabbath - The Mob Rules

OR

Spoiler: Manowar(see Blind Guardian) - Black Wind, Fire And Steel

Black:

Spoiler: Catamenia - ... And Winter Decends

Metalcore:

Spoiler: Hatebreed - Live For This

Doom:

Spoiler: Paradise Lost - Disappear

...I could go on, but that should suffice... ;-)

Have you heard anything from Deconstruction?

It's... beautiful. Like, as in, 'the best music I have ever heard' kind of beautiful...


Tell me you didn't just have an eargasm!

I didn't know anything from Deconstruction was released yet.

And... that song.... is just.... pure ecstasy. Wow.
I didn't think I could love him anymore but, now I do

 

[Kenbo Slice]

This song gets me so pumped.

 

[rescuer86]

Well... I got a lot, so here's a just a few of my favorites (one song per band):

Heavy Metal: "Godzilla"- Blue Oyster Cult, "We're Not Gonna Take It"- Twisted Sister, "The Show Must Go On"- Queen, "Dreams"- Van Halen, "Smoke on the Water"- Black Sabbath, "School's Out"- Alice Cooper, "The Boys are Back in Town"- Thin Lizzy

Alternative Metal: "Fly from the Inside"- Shinedown, "Scum of the Earth"-Rob Zombie, "Animal I Have Become"- Three Day's Grace, "Enemy"- Sevendust, "One Day Remains"- Alterbridge, "Crash"- Papa Roach

Glam Metal: "Bark at the Moon"- Ozzy Osbourne, "Mr. Roboto"- Styx, "Civil War"- Guns N' Roses

Nu Metal: "No More Sorrow"- Linkin Park, "Bring Me To Life"- Evanesence, "Land of Confusion"- Disturbed, "Immortal"- Adema, "Chop Suey!"-System of a Down, "Headstrong"- Trapt

Thrash Metal: "The Unforgiven"- Metallica, "Back in the Day"- Megadeth

Industrial Metal: "This is Halloween"- Marilyn Manson, "Timelessness"- Fear Factory, "Nothing for me Here"- Dope

Power Metal: "Fantasmic"- Nightwish, "Replica"- Sonata Arctica (The original version that is, not the remake)

Also, "Through the Fire and Flames" by Dragon Force, whatever category that song is in.

While that is a (mostly decent list), you need to remove Shinedown, Trapt, Styx (really?), and Linkin Park from a "metal" list. Also, Dragon Force is power metal. I am insulted you would put Black Sabbath under heavy metal and then label Ozzy as glam. You know Ozzy was the lead singer of Sabbath, and wrote their songs along with Tony Iommi, right? You made many other mistakes with your sub-genres, but I would end up going off on tangents, so I will leave it at that. Though I am impressed you knew Sabbath played "Smoke on the Water" at some of their live shows when Ian Gillan was the frontman.
As for my favourites lately (lyrics are NSFW, by the way):

"Choke Sermon" by Lamb of God
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tgc5axO5ync

"Beyond Our Suffering" by As I Lay Dying
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZviKTG61q4

This one has NSFW imagery, but "Terror Starts at Home" by Beneath The Sky
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nckJm_tDJVc&NR=1&feature=fvwp

Or, "7861" by Beneath The Sky
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS6DKB3hffA

(If you post and ask "does this constitute metal?", you are just insulting real metal heads. Please, stop.)

First off, thanks for pointing out my mistake. That should have been "Deep Purple who did Smoke on the Water", not Black Sabbath. That's what I get for not paying attention...

And second, some of these bands are considered "Nu Metal," which some fans think don't count as metal. These are just songs I like, but I won't bash your choices.

I'm sorry if I offended anybody.

 

[octafish]

Someone already posted a video of Paranoid. I'm also fond of Run to The Hills, Rock you like A Hurricane (and Wind of Change) but I'll post a video of Welsh Proto-Metal band Budgie for your edification.

 

[Fappy]

I don't think I have a single favorite. Here are two I love though:

Empire by Chimaira (its funny to mention that this version comes up first in a Youtube search XP):
Omerta by Lamb of God:

 

[GonzoGamer]

Sepultura "Ratamahatta"

It goes really well in a game of 40k. Especially if you play Orks.

 

[Dark_Fuzion14]

One by Metallica, the solo's were just godly....

 

[Shirokurou]

Mostly Power Metal though.

Kamelot - Snow

Or if you're in the mood for some engrish..
Galneryus - My Last Farewell

 

[Toaster Hunter]

40:1 by Sabaton


Actually, anything by Sabaton is awesome.

 

[IamQ]

Hero Nation by Freedom Call.

Power Metal for the win!
