I'm not a huge metal fan, but i do like some of it. In general I think that 80% of what's out there for metal is complete shit. I also dont really care for screaming, but i totally dig the complexity and technicality of the guitar work. I like current bands like Trivium, COB, and haha dragon force if you can call them metal. But the legends like Zakk Wylde, Metallica, Pantera, Megadeth etc I like too. Also heard some stuff by Hammer Fall awhile back and remembered that I liked it, but didn't hear much.
