Here's mine...


I'm a huge fan of The Metal but I think I'll start with some of my legendary, less angry, favorites.

Probably my favorite band of all time across all genres is Primus. I've seen them live twice, and I've seen Les Claypool live in his solo act once.

It all started with "Jerry was a Race car driver"

For those who don't know Les, fun fact: he once audition for Metallica and they denied him based solely on the fact that he is far too damn good for them.

I've seen tons of bands live (Slayer, Megadeth, Sepultura, Napalm Death, Cannibal Corpse, Korn, System of a Down, Pantera, Slipknot, Lamb of God - to name a few). But Primus is the band that showed me first hand the largest mosh pit I've ever seen, and it was to this mighty cute song:

A few thousand people went ape shit at the 1:37 mark.


I hold in high regard just about everything Claypool releases; if I had to pick a favorite song it is simply, Here Come The Bastards

            A great new free demo is out, that combines gaming and Metal music in a fun and fairly addictive way:

             

            Metal Hellsinger

            https://store.steampowered.com/app/1061910/Metal_Hellsinger/

             

            This would be a great addition to VR as well. Hopefully the devs plan a VR update in the future.

            A new one from The Supermen Lovers last month.

            Catchy song and interesting video.

            Maybe not the best thumbnail though. 🙂

            David Bowie is my all-time favorite artist, I've been listening to Blackstar a lot lately but my favorite song by him has to be Starman. My favorite album is Hunky Dory, I love every single song in there and think it's a perfect album. Besides Bowie, I have tons of love for Aerosmith. I was practically raised on their music and my favorite song is Rag Doll. My favorite album is pretty much the same favorite as most fans, which is Toys In The Attic.

            I don't feel deeply about the following bands, but still think their music is excellent and I'm hearing their songs pretty frequently. These two are Avenged Sevenfold and Gorillaz.

            If you guys have any suggestions on similar music, please share!

            In the time of your life, live - so that in that wondrous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but shall smile to the infinite delight and mystery of it. P.S., I can beat you at One Piece TCG and Tekken

              These days my favorite tune is this one - it sounds really great in the Sony Pulse 3D headphones. I love to just sit and watch the world in VR while listening to this main theme:

               

              I've been into gaming since the Commodore 64 in 1982, I've seen my share of game development I guess - and this tune somehow manages to take me back - and Call of the Mountain is the current epitome of computer-facilitated gaming, it bows to no one, not even Alyx.
