I hate Metal threads on this forum because so much of what is posted is screamo or thrash metal. Like many others I am more into the harmonic singing metal of JP, IM, Queensryche, etc. I try to listen to many of the bands posted here and it is just awful for me.

I wish we could narrow it down a bit as general "Metal" is such a huge range of styles.

I like this but I would classify this as prog rock more than metal. Although it gets pretty thrashy at the end.

Here is some of the newer stuff I really like. I would probably put it more in hard rock than metal though.

Generally thought of Nightwish as more Euro Symphonic Metal, like Within Temptation or Delain or Epica.

Lacuna Coil out of Italy is also good Euro Metal

Queensryche was my first concert. 1991 at Reunion Arena in Dallas. Operation Livecrime tour which was also Empire.

My buddy's older brother was stationed at Carswell. Riding with him was the first time I heard Cowboys From Hell. He took us and we crashed the weekend at he and his wife's apt. For 15 year old me it was heaven.

Started in later 90's but Sevendust is my favorite heavy band these days.

That tour was my first Queensryche show as well, although not first concert (Ratt/Poison at Tarrant County Convention Center in 1987) but I had to drive to Albuquerque, NM to see it! I was a sophomore at A&M at the time and wasn't able to catch any of the Texas shows so decided to drive to NM to see it. It was right in the middle of final exams but I had to see Mindcrime live.

Long story short, I figured out where they were staying and got to talk to Scott Rockenfield for a few minutes outside of their hotel and he was kind enough to give us backstage passes and upgraded floor seats for the show after he heard about how far we had driven to see them play. Super nice guy and I became a huge Queensryche fan after that, going to multiple shows on the next few tours.

That concert still is one of best I've ever seen.

Yeah it's a different genre all together perhaps.....Progressive Symphonic Metal....there that should do.

NW and Therion have distanced themselves from any music genre IMO. The best I've heard since Venus by the Shocking Blue hit #1 on the charts lol. In 1970...

My first concert was in 1980. Nazareth, Trapeze and Krokus. Saw Motley Crue, Axe and Heaven in 1983. Saw Kiss(before they took off their makeup) and Wendy O. Williams and the Plasmatics in 1984. Saw Ozzy Ozbourne and Anthrax in Houston in January of 1989. Went to Houston again that year to see Metallica and Quensryche. And the last metal concert I went to was Head Bangers Ball in Dallas in April 1989. That featured Anthrax, Exodus and Helloween.

There was band in College Station called Street Pizza in the late 80"s that played thrash metal. They played at club at Northgate back then.

Some of my favorite Metal Bands include Megadeth, Metallica, Coal Chamber, Motley Crue, Judas Priest, Loudness, Iron Maiden and Quiet Riot.

I recall putting the make up on for a KISS concert in Houston circa 1976. LOUDNESS....had never heard of them until I came across this gem of a Loudness cover:

One of my Zip buddies from FTAB made a tape of Loudness for me. When we were at A&M The Hastings bookstore carried a collection of rare and different metal bands.

Have you ever heard of Cirith Ungol?

Have not...will look them up. Right after graduating from A&M, I got drafted to play drums in a local BCS C&W band. Took me 40 years to recover musically from that episode..lol

Both Nightwish and Therion have their roots in death and dark metal respectively. So glad they evolved beyond that garbage.

One of my favs:

Very good. It was groups such as this that I missed out on while wandering in the musical wilderness..

A little Black Sabbath. If they had a keyboard it would be very Uriah Heepish.

Dee Snider From Twisted Sister made a movie based off of the Twisted Sister song Captain Howdy called Strangeland. You should check out the soundtrack for that movie.

This is awesome. Full Rainbow concert from 1977. Ronnie James Dio was in his prime and sounds so good.

That is an excellent story!

Also, Scott Rockenfeld had the most metal drum kit ever back in the day.

I don't have many regrets in my 51 years, but not seeing Dio live is one of them.

Funny but nah my wife at least tolerates metal. Our first big date was Van Halen the night I turned 21!

Over the three decades she has become a big fan of Iron Maiden and Rush, I consider that a win!

It.was mostly due to being busy with medical training, raising kids, and medical training poverty for most of 1995-2005 or so

I saw that Coal Chamber was playing the Ridglea Theater in Fort Worth this year. I've only seen one show there, The Blood Hound Gang in 2005, but it might be fun to see if they bring back any nostalgia. They opened for Pantera/Anthrax in 1997 at the West Park Entertainment Center. I believe the venue became a Houston Garden Center not long after.

My first metal concert was War of the Gargantuans 1996. Double headliner of Pantera and White Zombie at the Summit in Houston. The building is now the home of Joel Osteen's Lakewood mega church.

I saw Megadeth at the International Ballroom in 1998. The web says Coal Chamber was the opener. Not sure if that building is still even standing. It was a huge piece of crap shopping center/warehouse. I saw Marilyn Manson in this same venue in 1997.

All this just proves that I'm getting old and my parents were pretty lenient.

Perhaps more prog rock than true metal (whatever that might be), but my gosh, if you enjoy listening to very accompished drummer, give this one listen. Gavin is an alpha.

My first concert circa 1977, Sam Houston Coleseum. This was the opening song:

Not smoker..tried it twice and that came to an abrupt halt. Lots of smoke in the air that night though......and it was extremely loud.




The lead singer was quite the maniac.

VH the following year I see. Weird, I do not recall Boston. Perhaps all the damn smoke in the air...lol. I know I never listened to their music perhaps why. They did go on to be a VERY big act of course.

Nightwish, in the years after Floor Jansen joined and before Marko Hietala left, may have been peak music.

Debated putting this in this thread at all but it felt like the best place.

Ghost released the Rite Here Rite Now soundtrack today, essentially a live album from their 2023 tour. I'm inherently biased but think it's awesome so far and does an amazing job of capturing the vibe of that show. Going to give it a few more listens before anointing it as so, but it's rocketing up my personal live album rankings. You can absolutely feel the evolution of the band from their other live album, 2017's Ceremony and Devotion.
