Ditto everything that Melissa said about NIN and Trent! (I even named my cat after Trent
)

Debby - I am pretty sure that Cory is the one living in Iowa. He grew up there.

To be honest, I don't really keep up with the current heavier rock scene because many of the bands sound exactly the same. (And I can't listen to it at work which is where I usually listen to music.) That and when I switched to satellite instead of cable, I lost MTV-X. Does anyone have that channel? It is all hard-edged music videos, no stupid VJs, no stupid shows. Just music. I really miss it.

Vader - you are right - NIN is not a heavy band like Sepultura, etc. Totally different style - not better or worse, just different. Sepultura was always a little TOO heavy for my tastes, but I always liked bands like Megadeth, old Metallica (they have sold out and just become a**holes IMO), Anthrax etc.

I also like some Motorhead too. Like the Theme they Just Did for WWF's HHH is really good. And, Sepultura is a Brazilian Band, so alot of their music is in Brazilian Language. I have to say that Sepultura's Albums Blood Rooted and Schitzophrenia are 2 of the Best Albums I have ever heard. Listening to NIN on CDnow, his music is nothing like sepultura's and Pantera's, which is the Kind of Music I like.

By the way, OZZY is the real God. He Created Heavy Metal.

Wellll...if ya wanna get technical Jimmi Hendrix came along before Ozzy....

Trent Reznor is unmatched, IMHO, in his genre of music (which isn't heavy metal) simply because he has no band- just a one man show. Thats talent

Since we are kinda talking about heavy metal music...

Megadeth broke up today. Dave Mustaine was in an accident which has done serious nerve damage to his left arm. At this point, it is partially paralyzed. He said that he will be going through intense rehab, and wants to explore other avenues of music that he can still make a contribution to without being able to play guitar.

Wow! I hadn't heard that one yet!
I've always had a fond place in my heart for Megadeath- I listened to them a lot when I was pregnant ( maybe thats why the kids are always headbanging in the back seat of the car and sayin 'Turn it up Mom!'
)

Serously though, that sucks

Yes!!!!! Ozzy Does rule. I kinda liked his music better when he was in Black Sabbath, though.

His Cd's "No More Tears" and "Ozzmosis" are my favorites of his.

I like a lot of the groups and singers mentioned so far. Especially Linkin Park, Creed, Ozzy, NIN. I also really like Days of the New and Disturbed.

For all time favorites I have to go with U2. I know this thread has leaned toward metal, but I have to say U2 is the best band ever. In another 10 years, if some of those other bands are still around, they might be in contention, too. U2 has great songs, and longevity, and they are still putting out amazing music. And their early stuff has a punk edge to it that really rocks.

The Beastie Boys are also pretty cool.

Slipknot is from Des Moines. My roommate worked with this guy Viken who is the one who made the masks for them. I never met any of them myself, but my roommate said that they used to come into where they worked (Ritz Camera) to visit Viken. And everytime they had different girls with them. Personally I don't like there music. I prefer Tool, SOAD, and Linkin Park.

I like Linkin Park's "In The End", but every time I hear the end of the song, I think it's "Epic" by Faith No More.

Anybody else out there like Bouncing Souls? Or Fugazi?
