Oh God no more Lordi........
It has gone WAY WAY WAY WAY too far in here Finland now when they won the eurovisions!!!!

down in the street every kid older than 3 are Lordi "fans", I just can't take it when 8 year-olds think they are metalheads when they listen nothing but Lordi... THEY HAVE VERY LITTLE TO DO WITH REAL METAL
and the Lordi merchandise has got out of hand, there's Lordi Cola, at least 3 different Lordi books, fake Lordi-looking masks... Hell there's even Lordi candy!!!
C'MON PEOPLE WINNING EUROVISIONS ISNT THAT BIG THING!!!!

ehmmm.... sorry

hahaha Lordi cola :lol:

By the way I don't class Lordi as metal.

They are more in the clowns category, but that's really what they are :)
I think it's fun they won Eurovision, it was such a scandale here where anything remotly in relation with music is cr@p (we're maybe the worst country for that in europe)
It was bold to send such a crazy "band" like that to such a boring "music" event :D

:D Dont knock Lordi

There helping keep the flame alive as did the Darkness. Yep your right they are overly image based but at least there keeping Metal on the map. If just one in every 20 people who like Lordi stick with Metal then thats more Metalheads to sell your albums to & remember they might start of as Lordi fans but they`ll branch into other parts of the Metal scene.

The question is are you guys & your bands ready ?

:D 8)

If you were to only listen to one metal artist, it would be Strapping Young Lad/Devin Townsend Band (i said artist, not band).

Almost essential for the well rounded metalhead are:
Lamb of God
Byzantine
Gojira, they're "extreme metal"- but although all the elements are heavy the overall sound isn't that heavy to me. Very good songwriters.

And, yes it's a cliché- but revisit that Slipknot self titled album. (I persuaded myself that i didn't like slipknot or marilyn manson because they were what the 9 year old kids in hoodies liked. Since then i've got a grip and actually listened to their albums. And unfortunately for my street cred, they're damned good.)

Great stuff :twisted: Thanks for all the replies guys I'm compiled quite a shopping list here. Already picked up Mastodon Blood Mountain, Opeth Ghost Reveries, and Meshuggah Destroy Erase Improve. 8)

FWIW Blood Mountain is good but I still prefer Leviathan.

It's a pain to say but I have to agree with that...

Have a go at Meshugga Bird! Their $%&#in' mental! You need an 8 string for that though :twisted:

They drink that in the pubs in Stevenage "Biiiiicardeeee n' Lordi Coke innit'! :lol:

Only joking

You've got to agree with Jt, our Mr Wise! A band like Lordi is good for little 8 year olds and they will just get into everything from there.

Metal and Rock just won't F*ck Off as much as the nobs of this world would like it too! The fact that 'sheep' hate it cos it's 'just a lot of noisy cr@p' and 'That's not music' just makes kids get into it more anyway. I love that and think it's very entertaining! :D

I played my ex some Meshugga as she was banging on about how brilliant at music she is. (The ex was a classical music teacher) She played percussion in orchestras when she was younger so knew a fair bit about Polyrythyms. She was horrified, all she could say was 'Where's the tune?' I said just listen to these time signatures forget the rest. I detected jealousy cos these dudes from Sweden just tore her world apart! :lol:

:D Christ i`m turning into Mr Myagi !!!

Metal is a broad church. It covers alot of styles & genres. The secret is to give a listen to all of `em & to try & keep an open mind. Thats a lot harder than it sounds. If you do that you get away from all this true/false metal cr@p. Its all valid even if its not your taste. I think this is one of the reasons Wacken Festival has been so successfull, it has a little of everybody over the course of 3 [ i think] days.

I really like Mercenary's 11 Dreams, and Celtic Frost's Monotheist has knocked off Fates Warning's Awaken The Guardian from my 20 years no1 metal album spot.

Can't go wrong with a bit of Angra or Judas Priest.

But also look into

Biomechanical
To-Mera
Nevermore
Kreator
Death
Pantera
