John from Bootle's latest activity

Yeah, you make some good points. I see them all as having 'metal' leanings but not neccessarily heavy metal bands. For me the ultimate metal band is on display with Maiden's debut. I can tolerate Bruce, but there's just something about D'ianno...

Some belting recommendations in there

Like QOTSA, particuarly Songs For the Deaf. Think I've tried Testament and didn't dig the vocals. Opeth are on the list, and I tried Tool many years ago and just didn't get it, but am willing to give them another go as they've been recommended to...

…love a bit of Dean Martin myself, the Rat Pack were a bit mental;

Torche (Meanderthal is a banger) Porcelain (more heavy rock than metal but great) Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs (heavy sabbath influence)

Chris Cornell

James Maynard Keenan - Tool Serj Tankian - System of a down Chino Moreno - Deftones Mike Patton - Faith no more Jesse Leach or Howard Jones - Killswitch engage Ronnie James Dio - Dio !

Soooo much good music out there, don't do this to yourself. It's not necessary, no matter what sins you've committed. That said, Tool is ok.

I've been meaning to check Pantera out tbh. I sort of missed them back in the day, as I'd drifted away from metal by the mid 90's and I'd just not gotten around to checking them out. Already a big fan of Soundgarden and FNM ;)

Metal Mickey

Been in a bit of a metal phase lately, but one thing that bugs me when I listen to almost any metal band for the first time these days is that most of the singers voices just grate on me. What type of metal singer do I like? Well, I can tolerate...

Is this why Jack Wilshere is still only 33?

Same...
