Metal Hammer. Kerrang's just gone down the shit pipe now because every week they have a major feature on something like Black Veil Brides, You Me At Six or some other terrible band.

I'm going to this festival this year as well as Bloodstock and this will be my 3rd year at Download and it's the first time I've been really disappointed as to where one of the bands was on the bill. The band in question is Amon Amarth. They're (so far) 4th on the SECOND(!) stage which I find to be preposterous because they have 3 bad bands above them. Amon Amarth should be at least headlining second stage or be on main stage. I just feel some injustice and that they should be at a more suited festival for them, such as Bloodstock where they would get a good place on that line up. Apart from that, it should be a good weekend

Cheers for the tips man but I really can't tell if I'm doing it right, I'm quite perplexed by it and I really don't know why haha. Oh and your band is pretty good

I'm going to Bloodstock this year, two of my favourite bands are headlining (Randy's court case permitting) and there are some other of my favourite bands there (DevilDriver, Municipal Waste, Firewind ect.) I just hope that there are some Folk Metal bands announced and some more Death Metal. It should be a good weekend and a welcome break from my A Levels!

I learned guitar first, and when my band needed a vocalist, I stepped up because I noticed that I was usually singing along while playing anyway. Then I just had to learn to do the style of vocals we needed (death growls), and that's all there was to it. Myself, I've found that there's something to be offered from every subgenre of metal. I definitely have my preferences, but listen to something from all sides of the metal spectrum. I haven't seen to many black/doom fans around though, what bands do you like that combine those two styles? Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

Oh, by Liverpool way? Never been but I know of it, yeah.

Yeah, it is an improvement haha. But I do like EVERY sub genre of metal; mainly Death, Groove, Thrash and some Black/Doom. I think if I was to do both Guitar AND vocals, I'd have to do them separately because for Guitar I'd have to start from scratch and my vocals need A LOT of improvement and I've been told that both are quite demanding. And Dave, I'm from Manchester, where abouts are you? Cheers for the welcomes.

welcome to the forum' date=' if you really want to be a guitarist you should go for it, if nothing else learning to play your favourite songs is a lot of fun, I've been playing for five years now and love that feeling I get from playing music. you have a very ecclectic mix of bands there by the way, personally not many of them I like, a couple I haven't heard of, enjoy the forum mate and keep them horns up high \m/[/quote'] Cheers man! I think I'd rather be a vocalist though because in my opinion there's more power to be delivered, but we'll see what happens. My music taste varies much, much more than that btw haha.

Hey there fellow Metalheads! I'm a 17 year old Metalhead from the North West of England and I've been listening to Metal since I was around 12/13. I first got into bands such as Slipknot, Bullet for my Valentine ect. Whilst my music taste has progressed a lot I do still listen to those bands from time to time. I listen to pretty much every type of Metal and my favourite bands would have to be ones like; Lamb of God, Slayer, Meshuggah, Amon Amarth, Eluveitie, Defiler, Woods of Ypres, Vader, Machine Head, Metallica, Trivium, Anthrax, Megadeth, Pantera, Municipal Waste, Firewind and so on I'd love to be a guitarist or drummer some day but I don't think I have the capacity to learn those so it's pretty much just a pipe dream I'd also love do learn how to do vocals such as Randy Blythe's (Lamb of God) or Jake Peltzl's (Defiler) (And I know they're two completely different bands but I like of both their vocal styles.). I can't really think of anything else to say about myself so if you have any queries then drop me a message or something, I don't bite Peace and stay Metal \m/
