Interesting. The vast majority of rock music on my iPod is from the 60's, 70's and 80's. Plus the material from the 90's and 00's tend to be from the bands who have been around for man years. Maiden, Kiss, Priest, AC/DC etc. I like Airbourne though.
When the greats finally hang up their guitars music, who knows? Edited at: Saturday, June 12, 2010 8:47:03 AM

RUNNING WILD - MASQUERADE -1995 Totally excellent pure heavy metal.
[J.D. DIAMOND] Saturday, May 01, 2010 2:01:41 PM
Check out this last track on Night Of The Stormrider "Travel In Stygian"...listen when the vocalist starts in,it reminds me of Halford influence big time,this album is like Judas Priest,old Iron Maiden and old Metallica with Cliff Burton's sound back then ect...this whole album is excellent,a true masterpiece of heavy metal.
Iced Earth - Night Of The Stormrider,Running Wild - Black Hand Inn,Running Wild - Masquerade....3 albums that belong in a heavy metal fan's collection in my opinion.

I'll let ya know Ron lol! The only 2 band's albums that I would recommend are not new but I would definately recommend Running Wild's Black Hand Inn album,or the Masquerade album,those 2 are total british heavy metal with a vocalist that doesn't irritate,or try to overkill it ect...
Check out those 2 albums,they are a pleasure to listen to minus a song or 2 but as I said there are more than enough songs on each album to make up an album's worth of british styled heavy metal. The other album would be Iced Earth's Night Of the Stormrider,that album is a classic of british styled heavy metal.
I'd have to agree with you there J.D.. It would be cool if there were a couple of them out there to bide the time between shows from out favorites, a couple I wouldn't shelling hard earned cash for. Let me know if you run across any!! (seriously)

Well the sound is heavy metal but I can't really get into the vocalist,but that doesn't mean that my opinion should be a deciding factor,to others they may be excellent. First listen,I just can't get into it. The only heavy metal band that I've recently got into was Running Wild but only half of thier discography,the other half is not to my likings. I think that Running Wild's vocalist R.Kasperik sounds good because his vocals are low ranged and sounds a bit like Paul Di Anno from the Killers album,that kind of style. But again,my opinion means nothing as its just "an opinion" nothing more. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by jimmyjames from Thursday, April 29, 2010 1:37:01 PM)

To me Biff is heavy metal's second best vocalist but to others Biff is irritating,it is what it is. But I just haven't heard anything that "kicks ass"....sure there are "ok" stuff but nothing that is exciting. I think bands should first focus on a good vocalist,then the song writting and I think they should up-tune thier guitars like British Steel,Blizzard Of Oz,ect....instead of down tuning them to go with the trend.

I have to admit that I'm about as stuck as stuck can be on traditional Heavy Metal. To me, It;s the greatest form of music to ever grace my ears. It's what I grew up with, it's what most of my memories are linked to, it's in my blood!! That's NOT to say there aren't good bands today to a certain degree, but they in no way, shape or form come close to the music of days gone by. Today's music has no life, no spirit, no mesmerizing drawing power to me. I may be out of the loop, so to speak, of todays music, but nothing compares to the history I have with traditional Heavy Metal. No band sticks together long enough to endear themselves to me.
I don't think Heavy Metal will ever die, but once the bands of my youth are gone, Heavy Metal will never be the same. I doubt I'll be around much longer than they will be anyway, so it won't really matter to me at that point. lol
As far as progress goes, take it, it's all yours. Call me closed minded all you want, cool, I can live with that. My heart wants what it wants!!

Especially the last 5 or 6 years,it has become a circus of embarressment. The last new bands to come out that I like was Cult Of Daath(2000), Graven(2000) Sargeist(2000) all black metal bands.But thats about it.
No black/death metal bands that I like play in a traditional metal sense,they play in the black/death traditional sense,not heavy metal. A few bands that I like called it quits because of how lame the so called "scene" is like A.J.Harris Judas Iscariot quit in 2002 and the legendary Mutiilation from France that started in 1992 just recently quit in 2008. Its a sad joke
This scene used to be hidden and elite I remember back in 1994 around that time,there was not as many people that got into this music back then,it made up for a great scene where things were fresh and exciting,but nowadays the kiddies in thier bedrooms through the help of the internet and endless trend record labels swampped the scene and made this into a mear "joke".
I really am sick by this and is one of many reasons why I joined this forum on January 1st 2005,it was more satisfying to me to talk to fans of heavy metal vs.black metal the way it was heading.
Hey I know you're into black metal and a lot of that underground stuff but are there any bands around these days who are newish and play the sort of music you like in a more traditional metal sense?

No. I do not like any "new" bands in the black metal underground or the death metal underground. The scenes are ruined and have been for years now,something I never thought would happen 15 years ago but it has arrived.
