Posted: Mon Apr 23, 2012 1:04 am Post subject: Any other people with AS Metal Fans?
Ever since I was younger, I've been a huge fan of Heavy Metal music. When I was younger it was classic Metal like Van Halen and Motley Crue, Now I listen to Black/Death Metal bands like Dissection and Necrophagist. I really don't like any other music, with the exception of Classical and Jazz. Any other fans? What do you listen to? _________________ Your Aspie score: 159 of 200

I listen to rock and metal exclusively, but the heaviest I go is dark Tranquillity. My Last.fm account is Sanity_Theorist (can't link from here) and it has everything from Chimaira to Deftones to Tool to Radiohead. _________________ My music at: http://www.youtube.com/user/SanityTheorist5/videos
Currently working on getting in a studio to record my solo album 40+ tracks written.
Yep. I listen to Avantasia, Nightwish, Yngwie Malmsteen, Stratovarius, Sonata Arctica and others which are not clearly considered as metal, but have some sort of relate with it like Dream Theater, Muse.. ( I think they're more alternative rock, right?)
Well, I have more, but that's all I remember now. _________________ “I’m alive,” said Douglas. “But what’s the use? They’re more alive than me. How come? How come?

I tend to obsess over music in general, so I'll keep this brief.
Some of my favorite metal bands are Gnaw Their Tongues, Khanate, Darkthrone, Burzum, Bathory, Reverend Bizarre, Candlemass, High on Fire, Electric Hellfire Club (if it counts), and Judas Priest.
However, many of my favorite bands are non-metallic: Blue Oyster Cult, the Doors, Dog Fashion Disco, Those Poor Bastards (death country!), Darkest of the Hillside Thickets, Monster Magnet
I also love dark ambient, noise, jazz, and classical: e.g. Lustmord, Hjarnidaudi, Iceburn, Skullflower, Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane, Duke Ellington, Mozart

I'm a fan of metal as well, i consider the likes of Opeth, Iron Maiden, Arch Enemy, ChthoniC, Exodus, Candlemass, Pantera and Electric Wizard as my favourite bands. Guilty pleasures include the likes of Lamb of God, Shadows Fall and even a few glam metal power ballads (Yes, i consider glam as metal, even though they were OTT), and non-metal bands like Faith No More, Alice in Chains and others.
Having said that, i like to keep an open-mind to most of the sub-genres like black/death/doom/thrash/power and the aforementioned old-school bands, except for the mainstream metalcore/deathcore bands. _________________ "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe: Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion; I've watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate.

Yeah I like metal.....I started out with liking rock, and I probably heard some older metal like Black Sabbath pretty early on but I didn't get much exposure to metal until I was around 16 and randomly heard Iron Maiden coming from my t.v(it was on metal music videos for some reason) and my thought was 'what is amazing sound, entering my brain through my ears?' I think it was at that moment I became a metalhead. _________________ It's like alice in wonderland except, my names not alice and this is the real world not a dream.

I am a metalhead, started getting into heavier rock in my early teens, and transitioned towards metal by about 16. Started with Thrash and some popular metalcore bands. Then learned about all the different kinds of metal, and have since gotten into the more traditional styles of metal. _________________ I speak with a whisper and feel with a shout
I love all sorts of music, but if I had to choose one genre to listen to for the rest of my life it'd probably be metal. I go through periods where I listen to mostly one genre for a couple months, but I always find a little time every day to listen to some metal. Recently I've been working my way back to all metal, but I'm sure once it gets nicer out I'll be in my back yard gardening and listening to Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, etc. _________________ Your Aspie score: 183 of 200

Yes, I have AS and I'm a metalhead (as my picture indicates). I like extreme metal such as Jungle Rot, Cannibal Corpse, Dissection, Goatwhore (my favorite), Slayer, Morbid Angel, Bloodbath, Dismember, Entombed, and lots of others! There's other types of metal I like though, except metalcore. I think it's a disgrace to the genre.
Oh, and I like plenty other musicians who aren't metal as well, like Pink Floyd for instance.
Whoa there buddy. Trivium is metalcore and they kick ass. Most metalcore does suck, but there are a few good bands. _________________ Your Aspie score: 183 of 200

Definitely agree! I automatically dismiss Deathcore, Metalcore, etc. If it has "core" in the name, it isn't metal! _________________ Your Aspie score: 159 of 200

I haven't even heard Trivium. I know of them, but never heard them, so you may be right. Like I said, though, just my opinion. And I'll be honest: I like Whitechapel (at least a bit).

Don't worry, you're not going to offend me by simply offering up an opinion. I haven't really listened to Whitechapel, but I saw them at Mayhem last year and wasn't impressed. You should check Trivium out, though. Even if you don't really like it you'll probably at least respect the guitar work. Try this one on for size:
