I have many bands I listen to.
ManOwaR is my one of favourite band because unlike many other bands there's actually meaning behind the lyrics. They're also pretty heavy.
Another is Sabaton. A power metal band from Sweden. They sing mainly about soldiers and wars and their songs usually are to honour soldiers and combattants.
I really like Power Metal.
Then there's the ones I listen to slightly less like Iron Maiden, Alestorm, Hammerfall, Motorhead, Ozzy, Alice Cooper, Amon Amarth, Ensiferum, Rammstein, Raubtier and Slayer.
Forgot to mention Anvil...lots and lots of Anvil.

They're probably not exactly metal, but the only metal band I listen to that isnt Iron Maiden (and thats very selective) is Demons and Wizards:

see that smaller black box down there? the 4 lines are tracks that you can listen to in full length. Most genres have much more songs to them, though - I estimate the amount of music sums up to at least 6 hours, more like half a day.
That website has just made me bring a list the next time I visit the local library. On it:
Botch, Lamb of God, The Dillinger Escape Plan and Meshuggah

the ramones song "wart hog" was more punk than dead kennedys and that guy from rancid combined.Spot1990 said:

I was gonna post the Map of Metal myself, but I was beaten to the punch...
Gotta love the occasional bit of "I don't like that particular style, therefore it isn't metal"...
Clarification: Glam Rock is metal, Hardcore is metal, and the old genre colloquially known as "heavy metal" (epitomized to some, including me, by Iron Maiden) is definitely fucking metal.
Even Iniquity is metal... they're just crappy metal.

One thing I forgot to mention: there is also man who epitomizes everything that metal should mean. That man is Lemmy Kilmister. As Dave Grohl once said in an interview for a documentary:
"Fuck Keith Richards, fuck all those dudes who survived the sixties flyin' around on Lear jets, living up their gunslinger reputation as they fuck supermodels in the most expensive hotel in Paris. Y'know what Lemmy's doin'? Lemmy's probably drinkin' Jack&coke and writin' another record."

I like the older melodic death styles. Bands like Dark Tranquility, In Flames and At The Gates. Slaughter of the Soul by At The Gates is perhaps the best and most mighty example of this genre.
I actually got into metal mainly because most of my friends were listening to Black Metal, stuff like Burzum and Mayhem etc. While I liked that stuff the wankiness of the performers often annoyed me, and I found myself gravitating towards the more melodic styles.

Dude, my insulting Iniquity was meant to be self-deprecating irony reinforcing my earlier point about individual tastes not defining what is and is not metal. That is the irony I was referring to. I'm sorry you apparently didn't catch that.Novs said:
I actually don't give a damn what you personally define as metal, and I have no interest in arguing with you (ie. nothing I said was meant as an argument). History speaks for itself.
I have never found a metal band I truly like besides System of a Down...do they even count?
Also, I am open, please suggest a metal band.
Fyi, i don't like death, black, screamo metal.

I do know what it is called. Harmonic metal? When the voice is very soft and flowery then randomly screams.Novs said:
Ok i will.
