yeah i totally agree! Although I must admit to not being a Manson supporter, some of these stories about him just really don't appeal to me.

You know, about 80% of the song choices in this thread depress the hell out of me. Some people can't discern between what is art and what is generic substance used to make money. Anyway, since I can't say just one song, I'll name my favorite bands and their best songs:

In Flames - Embody the Invisible
Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name
Blind Guardian - Mordred's Song
Dream Theater - Leaning to Live
Beyond the Embrace - Mourning in Magenta
Metallica - Fade to Black
Dio - The Last in Line
Dark Tranquillity - Loss for Words
X-Japan - Tears
Slayer - Spirit in Black
Killswitch Engage - Self-Revolution
Pantera - I'll Cast a Shadow
Soilwork - Million Flame

And many, many more.

anything by truly talented musicians such as mr bungle, faith no more, dillinger escape plan, the mars volta, slayer etc etc...

A few more I forgot:

X Japan - "Art of life"(A thirty minute musical orgy of amazing proportions)

Rhapsody - "Gargoyles, Angels of Stone"

I like this thread. It's good to know that some people still listen to metal. Everybody listens to shitty rap "music" where I live.

Anything from Slayer. More specifically, "Dead Skin Mask"! Just listening to that song, it sounds like the band's talent is squeezed in there to its fullest extent.

Stein's Theme by Project 86

^Frick yes. One thing I love seeing are Aussie MC battles where one person claims to be a gangsta, and the other person carves them a new lyrical arsehole for being too American.

Are there any Living End fans on this website, Their lead singer and Guitarist is undoubtably Australias best guitarist, in fact i would put him up there in the worlds best.

No way! There are hundreds of guitarist better than him.

The new lead for Frenzal Rhomb for example, Whitt from Spiderbait, Edge from U2, Randeath from Project 86, Noah from Pillar, Scott from Soulframe, Mac from The Benjamin Gate, Simon from Blindside, Marcos formerly of POD.

All those guitarists own the guitarist from TLE.

Heh, my band and I played that at one of our mates fathers 50th b-day. He's a huge fan, so we played that at his b-day gathering for him.

Really nice song, even in the eyes of a metalhead such as myself

Im talking about skill wise, Cheney's guitar is an extension of his body! And to play riffs that are exremely difficult and sing lead vocals, that needs some serious skill, have you even listened to some of their songs
