I often think of teen age boys with greasy hair and zits when I think of metal fans. Beavis and Butt head types. I went to school with kids like that. Nothing wrong with it. Just a little silly.
But sometimes the biggest fans of metal don’t “look” like they should listen to metal. I’ve been told I’m one of those types, which is fine by me.

In our school the “metal uniform” was black metal band t-shirts, with jeans, high top shoes and wallets with chains. In warmer weather jean jackets with pins and a patch sewn on the back and when it got colder leather biker jackets and flannel shirts. They were all known as “heads” as in “metalheads.”

All this talk is really making me almost pick up the guitar again…

(Of course I never got very far with it the first time I started playing, but I was quite a different person back then :D)

The Britney and hip hop brigade has chapters everywhere ready and willing to impose their musical tastes on everybody elses’ ears. “Welcome to the Underground.”

I hope everybody has a Happy and Blessed Easter!

Well, I am very selective with the Heavy Metal music I listen to. Over the years I have listened to many bands, but as I learned to refine my preferences, I can say I appreciate a lot from the music and the lyrics made by Ronnie James Dio and the Musicians he has worked with over during four decades.

I am able to say, that I examine careful what I listen to make sure it does not offend my Roman Catholic beliefs. Here I list my favorite songs from the bands where he has been, maybe you know and like some of them.

With ELF:
“Never More”, “Rainbow”, and “Wonderworld”.

With Rainbow:
“Tarot Woman”, “Light in the Black”, “Gates of Babylon”, and “Kill the King”.

With Black Sabbath, during the 80’s:
“Neon Knights”, “Children of the Sea”, “Die Young”, “Turn up the Night”, and “Falling off the Edge of the World”.

With DIO, during the 80’s:
“Caught in the Middle”, “Don’t talk to Strangers”, “Mystery”, “Egypt (the Chains are on)”, “Dream Evil”, “All the fools sailed away”, and “I could have been a Dreamer”.

With Black Sabbath, during the 90’s:
“Computer God”, “TV Crimes”, “Too late”, “I”, and “After all (the Dead)”.

With DIO, after his second period with Black Sabbath:
“Push”, “Throw away Children”, “Shivers”, “The Man who would be King”, “The Eyes”, “I am”, and “In Dreams”.

With Heaven and Hell:
“Ear in the Wall”, “The Shadow of the Wind”, “Atom and Evil”, “Bible Black”, and “Breaking into Heaven”.

Ok, I hope I brought you back good memories with my list. 🙂

See you around.

I love Dio’s “Rainbow in the Dark.” I’ve always found the video a little funny in that you don’t realize how short Dio is until you see him on top of a tall building. But I suppose shooting down from a higher angle is supposed to make him look taller. 🙂

in case you didn’t notice my signature comes form Dio…😃
 
It’s always a mystery, not what it seems to be.
It’s always a mystery, just like you and me. 🙂
Used to have all of Dio’s tapes till i flipped my truck,lost a lot of tapes that couldn’t be replaced and couldn’t afford a cd player to buy them in cd form.oh well at least i was still able to walk the rest of the way home( just a mile) after i woke up i tried to get back into my truck it was when i couldn’t open the door i figured out what happened…
 
Holy Diver is a pretty good song and Killswitch Engage’s cover is decent.
 
Sorry if I am being prejudice but I seriously did not think I would find a thread like this on this forum.

Glad I did though.

Regarding the heavy metal I would list these as some of my more favorite bands:
Pantera, Slayer, Deftones, Sepultura, Immortal, early Korn…

I don’t think I listen to very much music apart from heavy metal and just "metal’’ in general. And if I am not listening to metal I do enjoy a nice classical piece, Dvorák, Bach, Liszt…
 
***I like old heavy metal…my dd (in the pic below) 12, in that pic…now 13…loves Bullet for my Valentine. I find that to be somewhat heavy metal, I am just not into the throaty screeching. :o I have always thought Metalica to be the ultimate in heavy metal, and the best of musicians. Slip Knot, and those types of bands…ugh. I just don’t see the allure.

Their masks are very scary too! :eek: Just wanted to chime in, as I have two kids–and they listen to rap…but love some heavy metal too. It’s good to see that it’s a genre that isn’t dead. ***

i agree that slipknot looks scary,for that reason they don't really appeal to me...try turning your kids onto some classical type music then they cna true metal "fans" as you may have noticed most of those who have posted here also seem to have a leaning towards that type of music when metal is not avilalbe or something different to listen too.
