I personally enjoy a cross-section of bands in most genres but recently I'm on a massive metal kick.

Some of my favourite bands in this genre include:
Slipknot
Metallica
Iron Maiden
AC/DC
Black Sabbath
Korn
Dream Theater
Mastodon
Rage Against the Machine
Cradle of Filth
Disturbed
Morbid Angel
Rob Zombie
Meshuggah
Chelsea Grin
Marilyn Manson

Does anyone have any favourite bands/artists/tracks along these lines?

MASTADON RULES!
Ozzy!

The concert movie. This is a visual experience for all the fans of Mastadon out there!

This is the whole movie. ALL 50 minuets!

ENJOY!

you forgot the deftones

I first heard about Gwar on an episode of the Jerry Springer Show - need to do a bit more research before I have an opinion. Cannibal Corpse are awesome however :D

I'll check out the Deftones as well. Haven't really made an effort to listen to their stuff properly in the past.

Deftones are badass. Was sort of disappointed when I saw them live though. Maybe it was just a bad show.

IDK - I've seen video but never live - I like most of their stuff - earlier stuff but have not been listening much lately - this topic put me in the mood tho....I love felicitera

Oh golly it's awesome - along with korn and puddle - they were my running music when I used to run long distance - my work out music

The early evidence suggests they're pretty awesome. Sounds like I could really get into them - shame if they're not so great live though.

I can't really speak to that - I have never seen them live. It doesn't matter that much to me as I never go to large concert venues (very very infrequently). not sure that there may be some on here who have seen them live who liked the show.
