It's great to see some love for Megadeth.  They've been my favorite band since I was in jr. high and switched from listening to radio-friendly pop to hard rock.  Faith No More was my gateway into harder stuff.  I bought the soundtrack to Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey because there was a Faith No More track on it.  It also had a Megadeth track, which was my first exposure to them and the rest is history.  Faith No More and Megadeth are still my two favorite bands.

Metal is probably my favorite genre.  I prefer thrash and symphonic metal over death/black metal.  My problem with the harder stuff is that it "cookie monster vocals" (as Dave Mustaine dubbed them) make it lose its hook and melodic quality.  Pure metal, thrash and 'lighter' stuff retains more of a melody.  Once I get into really heavy stuff, I can't tell one song from another.  I still like it though.  I have 6 separate custom metal playlists on Spotify, each with different metal genres.

That being said, my favorite bands:

Megadeth
Metallica
Pantera
Slayer
Disturbed
Bullet For My Valentine
Killswitch Engage
Five Finger Death Punch
Slipknot
Shadows Fall
Trivium
Dimmu Borgir
Children of Bodom
Kamelot
Therion
Nightwish
Epica
Rhapsody of Fire
Blind Guardian
Korpiklaani
Elvenking

Yes, I've heard Steel Panther.  They're pretty funny as long as you know they're blatantly offensive and a parody of 80's glam metal.  Easily the most misogynistic lyrics I've ever heard, so avoid listening to them around sensitive girls ;)

Sensitive girls? Is there any other kind of girl? If so, I need to infuse the new one with my wife.

Of course there is, Soera, my naive & innocent friend...

In addition to *Sensitive*; there's also...

*Overly*-Sensitive!

Ha Ha Ha!

Then again, mathematically, at least...just like two negatives = a positive; wouldn't (in the case of 'Infusion'), the two 'positives' (the "overly") *ALSO* cancel each other out...and equal a "negative"?!
:P

There's not near enough Metallica love in this thread.  They've been one of my favorite bands since I developed my own taste in music. 

Metallica, Korn, and Avenged Sevenfold all share the top spot on my favorite band list. 
I'm a Metal dude, but I don't think I'm as heavy as you guys.

Yeah, I guess, though I absolutely hate the terms "gamer" and "metalhead". I'm mostly into thrash metal, gotta pretty wicked vinyl collection myself. I'm also really into Old School Death Metal. Check out my last.fm link in my sig to view more of my tastes.

I just bought a random Manowar album yesterday. The Triumph of Steel... It's my first time listening to them, and I'm quite enjoying this.

You should watch one of their live DVDs lol. Theyre pretty hilarious, especially when they wear the loincloths and stuff haha
