Sunshine, I was more into AC/DC also, I went to their live concert when they came to New Zealand about 15 years ago now. Someone got knived there too. It was quite scary, so we stayed up on the seats, rather than go down into the crowd where the "action" was.
They were excellent live. I was amazed at how good they were and I thought Angus was hilarious too. I then got the CD with their hits, but for me I enjoyed the original lead singer too (Bon Scott). But never had stuff from him as such.
I had all the "thunderstruck " and "money talks" etc. Back in black. All of those.
MEtallica was not a band I ever got to know much about. I just never forgot "enter sandman", but one song of theirs really got to me "One". That upset me because of what it was about. That guy (war) that lost his limbs, his eyesight and his hearing and lay there like a vegetable with his brain still completely intact, unable to communicate with anybody.
Iron Maidon, again a band I haven't heard enough of either. Ac/DC is the only one I'm much more familiar with.
Like LInda, I wasn't so much into heavy metal, as I was other music. Led Zepplin was another band I am not overly familiar with in regards to their songs. Of course we all know 'stairway to Heaven" which I love. That song was haunting to say the least. some weird lyrics too.
What do you guys think of Def Leppard? That's another band I loved. "Love bites".
Linda, if only you could get the kids you teach into some of the music we were all brought up with, even the stuff before our time, because most of them have no idea what real music is half the time. Christina may have a great voice, but again I'm just not sold on any of them to be honest.
Guess I"m a die hard <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Other bands I like are U2 and Faith No More. Here are some tracks from Faith No more. Let me know your opinions on them because they are a band I feel improved with time. When they first came out, I wasn't fussed. Later? Wow, I was surprised. Admittedly I liked the lead singer, but I'm not that stupid to let that get in the way of judging the music.
Here they are. Gotta give them a chance to warm up. Let me know what you think, I'm interested.

What amused me was, my brother had a video game (playstation 3), a very dark, morbid game, quite disturbing, but amazing to go through and we had no idea the entire time the lead singer from faith no more (Michael Patton)did the voice of evil in the game.
