Evil Inky Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 I'm more of a Radio 3 man myself, but sometimes it's nice to relax in my comfy chair with Morbid Angel on the gramophone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alarmarama Posted August 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Wow! These are great guys!Hawkwind does seem like a good starting point.Does anyone know of a good Metal/Hardstyle crossover band? That's the kind of music I'd like to get into.

shetlandpeat Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Any good starting points?Early to mid-70s Hawkwind. Good suggestion. The Anthology CD covers the Hawkwind era quite well. A good mix. Def Lep were a good one, Iron Maiden too. Pink Floyd has some interesting tracks. You should check out your local groups as well.

shuggie Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Cant go wrong with the big four as a starting point: MetallicaMegadethAnthraxSlayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enkelt skapninger Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Hmmm, Som many choices! Metal is such a broad church. I'd certainly go for Metallica (earlier stuff), Slayer and Anthrax. Maybe consider a bit of Corrosion of Conformity as well. If you like your Metal more Old School, try a bit of Saxon or Iron Maiden along with your Hawkwind and Black Sabbath. If you like your Metal with a bit of spandex, try Van Halen, Twisted Sister or Motley Crue. You might want to venture off into the hardcore/crossover scene, with a bit of Heresy, 7 Seconds, Misfits or Mudhoney. Whatever you choose, make sure you listen to everything that Motorhead ever played. Ever. (Oh, and everything AC/DC wrote before the death of Bon Scott). \m/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibber Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 If you like your Metal with a bit of spandex, try Van Halen, Twisted Sister or Motley Crue. And make sure your Van Halen is pre Sammy Hagar vintage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enkelt skapninger Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 And make sure your Van Halen is pre Sammy Hagar. Definitely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unlinkedstudent Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Ah, the days of me wild youth. Heavy metal/rock, whatever; I still enjoy listening to the likes of:- Deep PurpleLed ZepUriah HeepLynard Skynard and the old soft rock stuff like Peter Frampton (anyone else seen that Fox News clip on youtube of him now bald doing an impromptu session outdoors in New York - quite funny really), Asia, Heart ... Also like Meredith Brooks, Patti Smith, Budgie, Dumpy's Rusty Nuts, Tygers of Pang Tang, Dark Star (deffo check out Dark Star on youtube). Ah, not a fan of mega heavy stuff but ... okay, I'll stop now and remember I'm now meant to be a mature sensible woman who really shouldn't be tempted to blast the cobwebs down from the ceiling by playing rock full blast but use the hoover like everyone else instead.
