Hailz, to you all.

What are your thoughts on metal music?

It's not as good as it used to be, but there are some good acts out there if one seeks them out.

I agree horns high \m/.

Metal has gone to **** today. Was good, then bad, now it is just terrible.

Its seems to me when ever I go to local metal show here in st.paul all the bands sound the same its rediculous.

don't live for metal per se and seldom go to concerts of any kind

but I do live for music

that includes metal and I like the Deftones, and some Machinehead and Korn

Ozzy and old metal like Deep Purple, Blue Cheer - I also like some of metallica

getting ready to rip some powerman 5000

I do think the 1st Disturbed CD is one of my all time favorite cds along with White Pony which I think will become a classic

just starting (I know, I'm late) to listen to a little more metallica - other than the stuff that gets radio play that about sums it up - have a couple of Godsmack cds too that have some real good points to them. So, ya I like it unless it gets to speed based then I get bored /w it

I`ve been to a lot of concerts in my days and most of the bands you mentioned i`ve seen live and they all put on a good show. I mostly listen to metal of all types and depending on the mood im in I might listen to rock, classic rock, blues, and even some classical.

I can see how u might like classical with the traditional pinnacle and cathartic cycles - almost theatrical. I like with Deftones that they tell a story. That's something I like about Tool - Lateralus is almost like a symphony in a way as there appears to be a common thread that runs throughtout the cd. It is another cd that is a favorite. I have had people tell me that Lateralus was boring, but I find it soothing and interesting. I will put it on to relax me...b'lieve it r not. Tool is another band that is incredibly almost indescribably talented.

Seeing the Deftones live. Now there is something to consider. Digital Bath live? Goodness. rock on

I mostly do not go to the shows because of a fear of crowds, and most of my freinds who like metal are some old highschool friends who live 1000s of miles away.
