Voted for Thrash and Groove, but Speed, Stoner, Heavy, Power, Fusion, Death, Glam... they are all good!

I wish I could vote for all of them, besides Nu, Glam and Stoner.

Despite this, Iron Maiden > all.

Where are Thrash's big four playeing?
I heard they were all going to be at sonisphere in august.

I voted thrash although i agree with the sentiment of anything that i'll bang my head to.
Multi-chioce would have been good too.


I left out "multi-choice" because a lot of people listen to more than one subgenre of metal and because of that it would probably be the most popular option. Also the poll is about your favorite heavy metal genre, not all the heavy metal

genres you like.

I love how that's still metal-related, anyways I got two metal albums recently, Motorhead's "Ace of Spades" and Pantera's "Cowboys From Hell".

Half right.

14 year old boys say they listen to 'metal' because then they are in the same 'crowd' as other people who listen to 'metal'. Then they grow up and realize that they really don't need to pigeon-hole themselves like that and can just say 'I like a whole bunch of stuff, sorry i can't neatly classify it for you because that really isn't important'.

I like metal as in the judas priest/iron maiden type metal. But that stuff where some dude with long hair in his face mumbling into a mic while a bass and a guitar wail speed solos....nah, that's kinda fruity.

PS: NIN FTW

In your head, screwing with your thoughts...

I was a metalhead back when I was 14... And I didn't start listening to it to be 'cool' or to 'fit in' with anyone; I listened to rap before that, and what % of teenagers do you think listen to rap/find listening to rap culturally relevant/cool? No, I was honestly converted, first to rock, and then to metal, by the sheer power of the music. I remember the first couple rock songs I listened to off some demo tape used to move me almost to tears with their sheer emotional power...

That was an absolutely awesome video I like how the musician was able to keep a fast tempo without letting the song get boring or repetitive. I approve of your tastes (thumbs-up from me).
