Wots with this band? All they seem to do is scream and shout.And that Shadows guy (talk about making a name up to sound cool) needs to grow up.

Overrated. Get some actual Metal instead.
I like Slippy.
And Led Zeppelin are cool.
Grunge and alternative mostly though ^-^

Saw them a couple of years ago.Thought they were pretty pants to be honest.Killswitch Engage are the best metal band Ive seen.
American rubbish.
And so is Killswitch, to a lesser extent.

Killswitch are one of they few bands who make this music fun IMO.
I have seen them twice and thought they were great.Loud,Brutal and aggressive yet never appearing to take themselves too seriously.I have seen tonnes of metal acts and Killswitch were the one I can honestly say I enjoyed the most.
Saying that,If you don't like this kind of music the chances are you won't care for them.

I saw them once, and wasn't too impressed, aside from their cover of Holy Diver, which is pretty decent. And making things fun? A few obscene jokes, fine. Try seeing Saxon, Motorhead or Megadeth, you get genuine humour there. As well as some genuine, classic Metal.
As for other newer/more mainstream stuff, I don't mind some stuff by Trivium as they seem to be heading in a bit of an 80s Metallica direction (Take note, I don't say 80s Thrash, as there's much variety there). I was pretty impressed by Mastodon at Reading '06 and whilst waiting for Megadeth to come on to UEA's stage, Job for a Cowboy were also rather impressive (Openers Evile less so).
But as for the likes of 'Sevenfold, with increasingly juvenile pop-rock vocals and so forth, no thanks.

Poisssssssssson.
I like metal but there are far more interesting things coming out of Europe than the American metalcore thing.
Specifically folk and battle metal? :^)
Heard of Alestorm, Moose? They're a Pirate Power Metal band from Scotland, and were great supporting Turisas; could have met them at the Afterparty, but I was utterly knackered and left before the bands turned up.
(Ok, Running Wild have been doing the whole Pirate thing since the 80s, but I've not heard much from them...)
