I realise not all of those many people would class as 'metal' and i agree, such as greenday, MCR, Linkin Park and Hollywood Undead, but they're still worth a listen to :)

i suggest u Metallica , Bullet 4 my valentine and Godsmack they r brilliant bands

It really depends on your taste. I upendo kondoo, mwana-kondoo of God, Pantera, White Zombie, Down, and a butt load more!!!! If your really into Slipknot wewe might like MushroomHead, Motograter, Killswitch Engage, Chimaira, Sepultura, and maybe even some Hatebreed (they kick ass)!!!! Good Luck dude and keep searching for great music, cuz there's a LOT out their!!!! ;)

Metallica's 80s albums will blow wewe away.


otherwise I suggest Disturbed,Iron maiden,Megadeth and Judas priest.


but remember,Metallica comes first...

slipknot is one of my inayopendelewa bands,you can also check out avenged sevenfold,korn,bullet for my valetine,godsmack,disturbed,tool,deftones,killswitchengage,metallica

Slipknot is NOT heavy metal, it's screamo.
wewe want heavy metal, there's no better then Black Sabbath. Metallica is good too. I don't like them much, but they're good.

Try Slipknot, deftones, trivium, and yeah

Iron Maiden is my inayopendelewa metal band, but close behind it is Wintersun, a metal band which has released only one album but has written some of the best songs I have ever heard.

Threat Signal is a MUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All these are different types of metal. But still they fall under the same category and are all worth looking into.

1.Three days grace
2.Mudvayne
3.Seether
4.Chevelle
5.Apocalyptica
6.Avenged Sevenfold
7.Disturbed
8.Drowning pool
9.Lordi
10.Papa Roach
11.Puscifer
12.A perfect circle
13.Rob Zombie
14.System of a down

This is the age old metal swali my friend. try, metallica, disturbed, wolf, alter bridge and candlemass

First of all, Slipknot is certainly not Heavy Metal.


Heavy Metal is the real music, Slipknot is nu-metal which I find horrible.
Try listening to some old metal. That's true metal.

- Metallica
- Iron Maiden

Well since you're new to the genre start with Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Label Society, and of course, Metallica. There are several sub-genres of metal including black, death, symphonic, glam, hair, nu, and others. Just kind of samaki around until wewe find what wewe like and think is really good.

The “oldies” are the best in my opinion. Out of my experience bands like these are good: Judas Priest, Alice In Chains, Guns N' Roses, Machine Head, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Motörhead, Anthrax, Slayer, Megadeth, Electric Wizard (If wewe want to class it as heavy metal...), Death Angel. There are many more!
