Not even two pages, and my version of this game fizzled out. :(

I couldn't think of a band besides Exodus that started with an E.

[corkhead0]

Emperor
Ephel Duath
Evoken
Exciter

I quit posting when I saw Prodigy, Tool, AC/DC, Rage Against The Machine, Orgy, Rammstein and Yes in a "metal" topic.

Anyways: Edge Of Sanity - Impulsive Necroplasma

A should be easy, I've got 23 A bands on my list.

What's your definition of "metal?"

Now that I think about it, starting my own version of the game was stupid. I admit sometimes it is rather difficult for me to tell which genre is which. This even goes against my musical philosophy.

Of all rock & roll's myriad forms, heavy metal is the most extreme in terms of volume, machismo, and theatricality. There are numerous stylistic variations on heavy metal's core sound, but they're all tied together by a reliance on loud, distorted guitars (usually playing repeated riffs) and simple, pounding rhythms. Heavy metal has been controversial nearly throughout its existence — critics traditionally dismissed the music as riddled with over-the-top adolescent theatrics, and conservative groups have often protested what they perceive as evil lyrical content. Still, despite — or perhaps because of — those difficulties, heavy metal has become one of the most consistently popular forms of rock music ever created, able to adapt to the times yet keep its core appeal intact. For all its status as America's rebellion soundtrack of choice, heavy metal was largely a British creation. The first seeds of heavy metal were sown in the British blues movement of the '60s, specifically among bands who found it hard to adjust to the natural swing of American blues. The rhythms became more squared-off, and the amplified electric instruments became more important, especially with the innovations of artists like the Kinks, the Who, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, and the Jeff Beck Group. Arguably the first true metal band, however, was Led Zeppelin. Initially, Zep played blues tunes heavier and louder than anyone ever had, and soon created an epic, textured brand of heavy rock that drew from many musical sources. Less subtle but perhaps even more influential was Black Sabbath, whose murky, leaden guitar riffs created a doomy fantasy world obsessed with drugs, death, and the occult. Following the blueprint laid down by Zep and Sabbath, several American bands modified heavy metal into more accessible forms during the '70s: the catchy tunes and outrageous stage shows of Alice Cooper and Kiss; the sleazy boogie of Aerosmith; and the flashy guitar leads and wild party rock of Van Halen (not to mention the distinctively minimalist grooves of Australia's AC/DC). In the late '70s, a cache of British bands dubbed the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (including Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Motorhead) started playing metal faster, leaner, and with more menace than ever before. They helped influence a new American metal scene known as thrash in the '80s, which took shape as a reaction to metal's new mainstream pop breakthrough, which came courtesy of Def Leppard's Pyromania. Metal enjoyed its greatest presence on the charts during the '80s, thanks to a raft of glammed-up pop-metal bands, but thrash bands played complex riffs at breakneck speed, sometimes dispensing with vocal melody altogether. Thrashers like Metallica and Megadeth built rabid cult followings that pushed them into the mainstream around the same time that grunge wiped pop-metal off the charts. Mainstream metal in the '90s centered around a new hybrid called alternative metal, which (in its most commercially potent form) combined grinding thrash and grunge influences with hip-hop and industrial flourishes, though it broke with metal's past in downplaying the importance of memorable riffs. Meanwhile, the underground grew harsher and bleaker, producing two similar, thrash-derived styles known as death metal and black metal, which produced some of the most abrasive, intense, hyperspeed music and graphic shock tactics the metal world had yet witnessed.

However the first band to ever have the term "heavy metal' used was a group known as Blue Cheer.

...and now back to the game...

Metallica - Damage, Inc.

[JRSellers]

Since you ended with a ".", and period starts with "P", I'm goin' with:

Pantera - Good Friends And A Bottle Of Pills

I'll put it in a case by case basis, it can be hard to describe metal because it varies a lot:

Prodigy: Too much influence from funk.

Tool: Hardly a distorted guitar in thier music.

AC/DC: A lack of aggression and speed makes them sound more like hard rock then metal.

Rage Against The Machine: Rap? In metal? Are you kidding?

Orgy, Rammstein: Industrial =/= metal

Yes: Prog rock might have had an influence on metal, but that does not make them metal.

Suffocation - Pierced From Within

I finally got around to actually reading your very long post, MegaRock. Very informative. :up:

I always thought the term was first used in Steppenwolf's Born To Be Wild (http://www.steppenwolf.com/lyr/brntbwld.html):

A quote from Steppenwolf's Biography page:

"And, in addition to being the first band to use the term "heavy metal" in a song (in "Born to Be Wild"), Steppenwolf's punchy style helped to establish the fundamentals of the hard-rock sound that would flourish in the 1970s."
