Best Metal Bands from the USA

[LG]

^^I remember stumbling across Kamelot when we were in Rocket Magic, and telling you they were really really good, back then you were still a "Mellow Girl", but now you have gotten to like a lot of the same bands as I do.

I love Kamelot, a metalhead mate of mine recommended that

You knew if you kept after me sooner or later I would cave in, you've had some huge influences in the music I now listen to on a regular basis

^^MP loves them too, he told me they are as good live as on record, along with putting on an excellent show. Roy Kahn is one of my favorite metal vocalists for sure.

I really like Korns recent album Remember Who You Are, full of kickass tunes.
Oildale is my favourite.

It has worked the other way as well, I have quite a few artists that you introduced me too...

I would consider Kamolet as Scandinavian as only the singer is American.They are stellar though

Yeah true ,LG. And I do like Demons and Wizards ( have both CDs ) but John's music and Hansi's vocals just sound pretty much the same as in their bands, just a hybrid of the two with nothing new added.

Don't get me wrong ..I like both CDs alot just hoping they can add some new elements if they make another CD.

 

[Soot and Stars]

NOPE!! Screamo Indie rock dosn't classify as metal

Ummmmm....waaaaaaiiittt for ittttttt! Yep.... still don't care!!!!! They are heavy enough for me!!!!

 

[METALPRIEST]

WOW!!! It's great to see sooo many listed..Maowar, Iced earth, Kamelot, Savatage...

Yeah, LG...the KAMELOT show is something to see...instead of something polished here is some raw audience footage.

I thought it was the other way around DKW, that the band is from Florida and the vocalist is from Norway...

When Roy Kahn joined up Kamelot really hit their stride, but even the early albums with the original singer are good too.

I was a little surprised to see "the Used" in here, I have three of their albums but never really considered them metal, I know Sooty doesn't care which is fine but I always considered them just a hard rock band. I did smile years ago when I read about their lead singer having a bucket to hurl in during concerts, and then he had to have surgery to save his vocal chords. I wonder if he has changed his style at all since then, been a long time since I listened to their music.
