LGBT Metalheads! \m/

It's funny how many people assume that gay guys can't like metal, considering how much of the metal aesthetic comes from Rob Halford and his leather fetish.

I'm also a big metal fan. My favorite bands include Agalloch, Nightwish, Kamelot, Woods of Desolation, Within Temptation, Otep, Wolves in the Throne Room, Liturgy, and Gallowbraid. As you can tell from that list, most of the metal I listen to is some variation of symphonic metal or black metal, but I do like all different kinds of metal and will give any kind of metal a listen at least once.

 

My exposure to metal is pretty limited. I love Týr.

 

That pretty well describes the majority of what I listen to.


I do occasionally get into the sloppier death and nu metal, though. Hell even AC/DC, as you had noted, can on some days feel quite awesome. Helps with headaches p always tell that to anyone inquiring about my musical tastes, to give them an idea of how so very far deep into metal I go :lol.

 

I love Metal! Power, Thrash, Death, Black, Doom, But i can't stand Metalcore/Deathcore, I'm seeing Overkill, Sabaton (seen them twice) Anthrax, Testament, Megadeth and Iron Maiden at the same show later this year!

 

Oh, Megadeth is good too.

 

I love metal and rock, really love screamo/...metalcore (I think it's called.) I like a lot of screaming in my metal, but I love most when there is harmonizing of the singing and screaming. With that said, my favorite bands are Know Lyfe, Of Mice and Men, Arms Like Yours, Killswitch Engage, Memphis May Fire, Underoath. These have been my go to bands for the past few weeks. I also really like all the screamo covers of pop songs on those Punk Goes Pop albums. Arms Like Yours and Of Mice and Men are my absolute favorites because their music is not really hard/tough, but more like poetic/melodic, especially Arms Like Yours, oh my god-the whole "My Silhouette" album is just heart-wrenching. Those two bands meld singing and screaming together really well and it makes for some very beautiful songs. Beautiful is one of those words that sound strange when used to describe metal music, but that's how what makes me love them so much. I put their albums on in the background and start writing for hours.

Memphis May Fire has this really great song that has a great 40 second start. I've been posting everywhere. It's called "Losing Sight." Really good song.

 

Finally, don't even get me started. I love metalcore, rock, hard rock, thrash, hair, prog.
Bands, Five finger death punch, Parkway Drive, Lacuna Coil, Evanescence, Avenged Sevenfold, Queen, GNR, Poison, Motley Crue, Metallica, Fear Factory, Falling in Reverse, and more...

Killswitch Engage (Howard as lead singer), Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, AC/DC, Judas Priest, Breaking Wheel, Anarchy Club, Dream Theater,

 

Ha! See my name; a world without metal is a world not worth living in. I don't expect Pentagram or Witchfinder General to be blasting from speakers at the local pride parade anytime soon, but a boy can dream...

 

I really enjoy metal, although I do like hard rock better, my favorite metal bands would have to be Within Temptations, Black Sabbath, Megadeth, Judas Priest, Alice Cooper, Iron Maiden, and Metallica.

 

I love metal! I listen to Killswitch Engage, Parkway Drive, Underoath, Avenged Sevenfold, Straight Line Stitch (which may be more metalcore), Haste the Day, Close Your Eyes, Memphis May Fire, For Today, a few 80s bands and more! I love any type of rock)! People get really confused when they find out I like metal (because it seems so unlike me) but I've liked it since the 8th grade!

Rock on, metalheads!!!

 

I love Rock, especially some of the bands youve listed Suicide Silence,Bring Me The Horizon, ,Slipknot,,Enter Shikari, Black Veil Brides, Tonight Alive, , Of Mice and Men, Paramore, Halestorm, Lacuna coil, shinedown, alterbridge, asking alexandria ...

i dont "look" like a metal fan apparently.

 

Dear OP, when you're old enough I want to marry you just for mentioning While She Sleeps. I fucking love them.

Besides that I really enjoy listening to Bring Me the Horizon, Asking Alexandria, Enter Shikari, A Skylit Drive, Sleeping with Sirens, Tonight Alive, A Day to Remember and Architects. I wouldn't really consider most of them metal but since you've mentioned some of these bands I'm allowed to do so too

(Disclaimer: in case some woman without a sense of humour reads the first sentence, thinks I'm a perv and gets me locked up for 6 months: I'm joking)

 

I like abit of metal but im more of a heavy rock kinda guy. I'm not a huge fan of metal screaming, i like some bands but things like 'job for a cowboy', 'cancer bats' and the like makes me squirm like nails on a chalk board.

I much prefer the heavy and loud music, but with singing rather than screaming. Some of my favourite bands are those like Rammstein, Qotsa, Foo Fighters, White stripes. All loud bands but without the screaming to go with it

 

I'm a metalhead! and a girl so that is double I love Enter Shikari, Bring Me The Horizon, Of Mice & Men, Slipknot, Asking Alexandria, Parkway Drive, Crown the Empire.

Most of those are mere sub-genres of 'metal' but that debate can be lead somewhere else :lol:

 

Oh wow. How could I forget Of Mice & Men and Crown the Empire.

 

I don't know either Oh. I love the Enter Shikari logo as your avatar! Truly amazing band (!)

 

I'm not a metalhead, but I like some metal like Dream Theater, Queensryche, and Iron Maiden. I just don't like the bands that scream and I don't like extremely distorted guitars playing a million notes every second.

 

I think heavy metal music is great, and I like most types of music apart from Jazz.
People think because you are gay then the only artists you are going to like are Barbra Streisand, Liza Minnelli and Abba !
That may be true to an extent, I like all of these but I also love bands like Rush, Hawkwind, and lots more heavy music, Techno and so on.
