Hell yeah! I'm a fan of power metal, traditional heavy metal, thrash metal, speed metal, symphonic metal, progressive metal and some black and death metal. I have been known to listen to folk metal occasionally, though I don't make it a habit. <p>My favorite metal band would be Iron Maiden. You can't possibly like metal if you don't like Iron Maiden, for they define it. Black Sabbath are heralded with starting metal, and that is true, but no band performs like Iron Maiden, and no group has perfected New Wave of British Heavy Metal like Iron Maiden has. And they've only gotten better with age (the exceptions being the two albums Blaze Bailey sung on, bot because a lack of Bruce Dickinson's voice and because they seemed to lack songwriting ability for a while). <p>My favorite metal bands aside from Iron Maiden are Megadeth, Iced Earth, Symphony X, Nile, Cruachan, Immortal, Motorhead and Demons & Wizards. <br>
