Metal Bands

[keithdrum01]

Ok guys. A lot of people tend to get hard rock and heavy metal mixed up. So, name a few bands that are metal and a few that are hard rock. I'm not saying you are right or wrong. I just want to know in your opinion who you think is hard rock and who you think is heavy metal.

Here are mine:

Hard Rock Heavy Metal
AC/DC Metallica
Aerosmith Black Sabbath
Default Megadeth
The Doors Deep Purple
Foo Fighters

There are people who think the Foo Fighters are metal? What kind of bizarro-universe is this?

[Soror_YZBL]

So are Fighters metal then? I've never heard of that band.

I wouldn't classify the Doors as Hard Rock....Let's replace them with Van Halen.

Disturbed aren't metal... they're hard rock, and Mastodon are progressive sludge, which is a subgenre of metal.

Firstly, Distrubed are very conterversial when it comes to that, secondly i put mastadon in that catagory for thier lyrics, not thier sound

[G-Mann]

Hard Rock

Guns n Roses
Van Halen
Cream
The Who
Led Zeppelin
Deep Purple (Most metal on Hard rock list)
Thin Lizzy
Blue Oyster Cult
Rush (Arguably)

Metal
Motorhead
Iron Maiden
Black Sabbath
Judas Priest
Diamond Head

They're all from the same era give or take a few years so the change of 'heaviness' in music wouldn't of changed that much.
