@Riffmaster1981, it sounds like you're all over the place, like me. We have threads for a bunch of those bands. Check 'em out, and feel free to start your own if they don't already exist and you feel so inclined. I need to get around to creating some more threads myself.
Like you, I can get into almost anything guitar based. As I alluded to in my intro thread, I'll listen to anything from Alvvays to After Forever to Arch Enemy, from the Beatles to Borknagar, from Mothers to Myrkur (pictured in my avatar), from Thao and the Get Down Stay Down to Triptykon, and everything in between and beyond. I've been into symphonic metal for a while now. Floor Jansen, who I greeted you with above, is one of my favorite vocalists in that subgenre.

@Mr. Gregory thanks for the sharing some of those bands.i will have to check them out always looking for new bands to listen to
Ghost! I know we will get along great...I love Ghost. I am really glad you described them as BOC & AC having a baby....maybe @Speed King might give them a listen.....It's hard to get that old dog to listen to anything metal.....he he he.
Oh, and before I forget......

@Magic speedking is a little set in his ways .but he likes alot of stuff i like.he does have more a open mind than one would think ...we just need to slowly convert him into some of these bands find a common ground on them or some of the influences they have are probably some of the bands he grew up with ...speed king is my brother in law and taught me alot on guitar when i was a beginner ...next time i see him i might have to duct tape him to a chair and crank some ghost till he is converted to at least one song then we can move on to the next band ..i found out he used to listen to candlemass that made me think there is a heavy darker doomy sludge stoner side in him ..btw i think its time for a candlemass thread if there already isnt one ...i think he will like stuff if its not to overboard and good talented musianship ..i dont think we can convert him into cannibal corpse or obituary we can dream ahhh ...but not a reality ... but ghost ,trouble,and the sword are up his alley i think or hope ..tygers of pan tang omen or diamond head or angel witch ..or less known act such as bleek house btw metallica ripped them off on welcome home sanitarium not even a attempt to hide it blatantly james even confessed but didnt that he stole it lol..nwobhm ...he likes iron maiden judas priest and budgie some of the bands i mentioned are not that far off in the grand scheme of things ...just maybe a little darker or heavier /faster ..but all metal came from somewhere roots or influences
My ears were burning, so I popped in to see why,.....
Of course I like Heavy Metal, one of my all time favorite bands in the world is Black Sabbath (they invented Heavy Metal). They influenced me as a guitar player more than any other band I can think of. I love the traditional Heavy Metal, what I don't care for is "Cookie Monster" vocals and thrashy rhythms with scouped out mids and no melodic content. Heavy music like Candlemass I like because it's melodic, I guess the true genre of Candlemass would be "Epic Doom Metal". I think metal has strayed too far from it's roots, it's lost a lot of what made it so great in the first place. It's almost like it's been a contest all these years to see who can play the fastest drums, bass, and guitar.
Also, the term "Metal" has been twisted and miss used to include "Hair Spray Rock" which really isn't metal at all, but rather aqua-net induced hard rock. In my opinion, Heavy Metal is Black Sabbath, and everything metal that came after them is a derivative of them in some way, if it's not derivative of Sabbath, it isn't true Heavy Metal, there I said it.
I'm open to hear what ever you guys think I might like, but I've been disappointed so many times with modern music of all genres, that I've given up hope that anything created today will be as good as the stuff from the late sixties/early seventies.

I was busy reading the long list of bands, I missed the question at the end,....I been listening to Blue Cheer, Budgie, and as always,...Deep Purple and BOC. I listen to a lot of Steppenwolf, mostly Monster and 7, but occasionally The Second and At your Birthday Party,...and a lot of other bands from the 70's.

I was probably a bit of a metal snob when I first got into it, but I quickly came to realize that music is a subjective form of entertainment. People like what they like, and there's no real right or wrong as far as I'm concerned. I've never felt a need to try to convince anyone to like music that I like - that's for them to decide. I've had people outright insult my music and then apologize as if I take it personally. I just shrug it off and laugh. It doesn't bother me one bit. It's always nice to meet that rare person who does like it, though.

So, what you're saying is, he does like metal.
It's funny that you mention trying to get him into Ghost, because I actually see Ghost as a rock band, not a metal band (not that the distinction matters for anything more than classification purposes in my mind).
