A crime against metal...I'm a Shroomhead!
 

I cannot believe with my musical tastes that these guys have slipped under my radar until now:

Mushroomhead Official

And I am even a huge Gwar and Skipknot fan! Some music industry executives' heads need to roll!

I bought their latest a few months ago, and within a week I owned all 4 of their albums. Expecting that their music would be more rough around the edges and experimental the more I went back, I was pleasantly suprised that they have been consistantly awesome since they started. Better late than never I suppose.

Are there any other great metal bands that I am missing?

(Here is what I listen to and like for reference)
Alice In Chains
Behemoth
Dark Tranquility
Deftones
DevilDriver (and Coal Chamber)
Disturbed
Drowning Pool
Filter
Godflesh
Gwar
Jane's Addiction
KMFDM
Korn
Lacuna Coil
Metallica
Ministry
MUSHROOMHEAD
Nirvana
Prong
Rammstein
Rob Zombie
Slayer
Slipknot
Soundgarden
Static-X
System of a Down (althought their lyrics are ultra-stupid)
T.S.O.L.
Tool
Tristania
White Zombie

i skimmed the list so if these were mentioned I apologize:

Slayer

Sodom

Amon Amarth

Diamond Head (old skool)

If I think of more, I'll add it.

Iron Maiden!

Danzig (not quite metal, more like heavy evil rock but still fvcking awesome)

Hatebreed

Type O Negative (also not metal imo, but very very good)

Static - X

Have you listened to Slayer's Undisputed Attitude? The best produced old-school hardcore punk album ever!

Thanks, I will check out the suggestions for sure...

Texas Hippie Coalition (heavy rock but very good)

Black Sabbath (the one that started it all)

Testament

Motorhead

Megadeth

Misfits w/Glenn Danzig lead vocals (punk not metal but kickass stuff)

/\ yes good stuff. :tup:

I just realized something funny, we drive the same car, Black nismo 370z and we both love metal... (we need a Devil Horn's smilie up in here!)

Devil Wears Prada (not a huge fan myself but the "kids" these days seem to like them)

Mudvayne

A Perfect Circle (not metal either imo, but really powerful stuff)

Killing Joke (not metal either but I like it)

Pantera

The Union Underground (more like industrial but good)

Respect your elders and know your roots:

Steppenwolf

MC5

As well as Bruce dickinsons solo albums:iagree:

And you didn't mention mastodon.

I'm not much on the new heavy metal. Too much cookie monster vocals and drop tuning. Megadeath, old Metallica (and some new), iron maiden, sabbath, ozzy, dio, old slayer, judas priest, that pretty much sums up my taste. I'm a guitar player, so I'm easily enfluenced by guitar bands

Ack! I am suprised I didn't include them. Mastodon really kicks ***...their banjo-style speed guitar is a refreshing take on metal. I saw them open for Alice In Chains and Deftones last summer and have been wanting to see them headline sometime. Their new album is really cool!

Good catch! You are naming the classics for sure.

Yeah, where is that smilie! It is an aspiration, but I would like a hot metal chick like Cristina Scabbia sitting in the passenger side seat...hell, I would let her drive!

Samhain (as you can probably guess, I'm a huge Danzig fan)
