"Best metal band ever."

Metallica. What do you think?

Porcupine Tree R damn good.

Anyone heard of porcupine tree?

i wouldn't say they're the best, but they're a very VERY good prog band. just borrowed one of their dvd's from a mate and it's pretty sweet.

Dream Theater
obv.

Lars is a whiny, greedy little twunt. his "battle" with napster was over long ago and only fuelled by the possibility he may soon be down to his last 100 million.

fair point with James though.

Might have played a part.

I think the main reason is that it was supposed to be symbolic of what they were going through. Newsted leaving, James' alcohol problems and Lars' battle with Napster. Sounds quite corny I know, but I think they wanted to get some aggression out on the St Anger album. Unfortunately it sounded far too different to the Metallica everyone knew so it wasn't recieved quite as well as their previous albums.

early machine head was incendiary, Burn My Eyes was awesome.
i went off them a bit when they went a bit too mainstream, and that's not me having a "it's my game and you can't play" moment, but their sound just changed to somethign that wasn't my thing. although i do still like the occasional track and the newer stuff i've heard seems to be heading back into heavier territory again.

Thanks to my brother I was brought up on Black Sabbath.

Pitchshifter are good and I'm partial to a bit of Machine Head occasionally.

Dio's pretentious lyrics and arrogance have clearly mashed yours ;P

Madness.
Ozzy's yackyyappy whining has obviously mashed your brains.
