Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

My favorites of each genre

heavy metal:
Nightwish, for their over-the-top melodic sound. Iron Maiden, for being an obvious choice but still awesome.

thrash metal:
Metallica's early stuff for the riffs and basslines, and Megadeth for their instrumental prowess.

Black metal:
Silencer, because they are the fucking scariest band ever. As well as some Burzum.

Death Metal:
Cannibal Corpse (purely for the bass and lulzy lyrics), Bathtub Shitter, Napalm Death (even though they are much more grincore than death metal). Opeth are fine, too. Behold....The Arctopus also deserves mention for being the best tech death band ever (even though their lack of vocals makes tech death a questionable genre choice).

Doom/sludge metal:
Melvins and Sunn O))), as well as Fantomas (who are a bit too fast at times to be considered true sludge). Zoroaster is also majorly wintastic.

speed/power metal:
Anthrax and Slayer for the catchy licks, I don't really like much speed stuff.

Everything else sucks.

faves

heavy: Iron Maiden
thrash: Metallica, Megadeth
Death: Nile
Power: Iced Earth
Progressive: Opeth
Groove: Pantera

My favourites for all the genres I listen to:

Heavy Metal

Iron Maiden (stfu Nev), Black Sabbath and Judas Priest.

Thrash Metal:

Anthrax, Metallica (old) and Megadeth.

Power Metal:

Helloween, then Blind Guardian and then DragonForce.

Progressive Metal:

Dream Theater. They're the only Prog metal band I've enjoyed a hell lot so far, not concentrated enough on the other Prog metal bands.

Death Metal (I'll include melodic):

In Flames and Morbid Angel. Unfortunately, those are the only bands from the genre that I've really enjoyed so far. I've listened to Cannibal Corpse and Deicide, but I didn't like them.

I'll try some other death metal bands such as Death sometime soon.

my favourites:

Heavy Metal

Judas Priest - the beat out Maiden easily, at least in my opinion.

Death Metal

Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, Vader, Behemoth, Septic Flesh, Decapitated, etc. - they all fulfull my need for brutal music. I'm not that much into DM anymore, but I still like all those.

Black Metal Black Metal

Rotting Christ, Agatus, Varathron, Zemial, Necromantia, Order of the Ebon Hand, Zephyrous, Nergal, Fiendish Nymph, Naer Mataron, Mournblade, Kawir, Deviser, Astarte.... all the great Greek black metal bands. They are simply better than all the Norwegians combined.

Thrash Metal

Hypnosia and Destruction do currently fulfill my Thrash needs. Some Slayer here and there too, maybe.

Sludge Metal

Not a constant listen, but surely my favourite Sludge band: Crowbar

Speed Metal

Early Blind Guardian is my favourite Speed Metal material.

Heavy Metal:

HammerFall... though they are Power Metally, I think their slighlty more in line with Heavy Metal than Power.

Thrash Metal:

Megadeth, for the Rust In Peace style riffery and just general greatness. And Tankard, cause they're fun :). I'll say early Metallica for the Proggy attitude to Thrash. And also Meshuggah for just being teh angry.

Power Metal:

Blind Guardian, for being teh wins. And Avantasia, but also being the wins.

Progressive Metal:

Dream Theater... obviously. And Opeth :).

Death Metal:

Death. I just prefer their attitude to Death Metal. Its not all brutal lyk. Also Necrophagist, just cause I love the guitar parts :D.

Folk Metal:

Týr, I just think they're nice and epicly sing-a-longable. And they're the only Folk band I've heard without mixing shitty harsh vocals into the mix.

Black Metal:

Immortal or Satyricon, cause the others bore me. They're both alright though. Early Satyricon anyway.

Experimental:

Behold... The Arctopus... cause they're good musicians :). And I've heard no others.

Avant-Garde:
Buckethead, he owns a lot. Nuff said.

not every one, for example, the one i pulled on my sister today was hilarious.
First, i set off all of our smoke detectors, then i ran into her room, and woke her up ,sayin' : there's a fire!!!
then i said it probably wasn't safe for her to leave then room, so i walked out of the room, got some hairspray and a lighter, and sprayed it through a crack in the door and screamed.

FREAKING FUNNY!!

I can't wait for today to be over. Seriously, April Fools jokes in general just piss me the fuck off.

Except the ones where Gene Simmons dies.

I read he died on the Metal-Archives forum, but me thinks it's a joke.

Wait happened that was so bad?

April Fool's Day can be a great outlet sometimes. When can you say there was a time when you could not get in trouble for switching the shampoo with Rogaine?

Huh?

***What***

I have to read what I write more often.

Nothing happened to me personally that I can remember. I just think most April Fools jokes are exasperating, lame and wholly unfunny. There's little to no fun in it left for me anymore. It used to be a fun holiday when I was younger, but now it just seems ruined. Apparently, a lot of people out there still think it's hysterical to take a pack of Oreos and replace the filling with toothpaste, and on top of that, many use the day as an excuse to post a bunch of lame April Fools threads on the General forum...ugh...
