Motorhead
Corrosion of Conformity
AC/DC
Machinehead
...

That's all I can think of now... and I can't think much because I am hungry... I am off to lunch.

OMG do I have to list my top 10? that's be difficult! But I'll try:

In no particular order (but Maiden 1st always 1st, not Blaze Bayley Maiden no effing way):

Haven't seen ANY of the Metalheads around in a while. Petey? Simon? Where are you guys?

Lots of oldschool metalheads here, that is good! So what say you guys about the other genres? Thrash, power, speed, death, black... what about em? I know I can't possibly be the only one to like alot out of these subgenres.

ManOWar! Cheese metal but damn I love it.

The only metal band I really ever got into was Def Leppard. Pyromania is one of my all-time faves!

Manowar IS good! they have quite a few bad songs but their great songs outweigh them

So what are some other bands y'all like here? How about some non-traditional heavy metal? Come on, everyone knows the great bands like Iron Maiden and Priest and Sabbath, how about some lesser known bands?

You should check out On The Rocks club in Mirage. They play rock and metal. There are usually people there in the evenings.

Night Wish
Lacuna Coil
Coal Chamber

and the rest Kia mentioned !

He is a good DJ too as is BC !

OK one comment from me...
See for me, the thing about "Death Metal" is, if I can't understand the guy singing because he is growling into the mic in some idiotic "I like to think I am posessed by a demon" voice, or screaming so loud you can't understand what he's saying (and I don't mean occasionally, I mean for the WHOLE song), or the bass notes are so low and repetetive that it washes everything else in the song out, then I don't really consider that to be GOOD music, but that's just my opinion. Heavy, mucky, repetetive single note playing is NOT what makes something HARD METAL, in my opinion.

As much as I am a huge fan of Metal/Classic Metal, I do like quite a few of the nu-metal and Death Metal bands out there, don't get me wrong, but it's getting harder and harder to separate the crap from the decent, innovative stuff.

Out of Kiamat's list, I would pick out these for stuff I like:

All Out War
Kittie (RAWR)
Atreyu
Chimaira
Devil Driver
Hatebreed
Obituary
Lamb of God (damn good band)
Meshuggah
Napalm Death
Sepultura
Bolt Thrower

I would toss in some:

Korn (every diet needs some Korn!)
Coal Chamber
Mudvayne (they keep getting better IMHO)
Skipknot
Drowning Pool
Lacuna Coil
Shadows Fall
Stratovarius
Nightwish
Iced Earth

About as "Metal" as I get:

Fantomas
Mr. Bungle
Faith No More
Primus
Buckethead
Melvins
Tool
Tomahawk
Rage Against The Machine
Suicidal Tendencies
Dixie Chicks
