any other metal fans out there?
I can't resist plugging a local act here in Champaign-Urbana. In my opinion one of the best guitar rock bands around: Hum. You've probably heard their hit, "Stars," recently on a Cadillac commercial. Check out this early song of theirs (ignore the poem at the beginning).

They were a one hit special it seems. What happened to them?

Yeah, they were pretty much a one hit wonder. Three of the four still live here in C-U, while the drummer married, became a pharmacist and moved out of town. They play reunion shows every several years though. Matt Talbott, the lead singer, owns a recording studio here and started a new band called, Centaur. Jeff Dimpsey, the bassist, helped form the band, National Skyline, and just recently, Gazelle. Tim Lash, the other guitarist, recorded an album with a former member of Love Cup; they called themselves, Glifted.
I like metal. Mastodon is my favourite metal band at the moment by far. I also enjoy Devin Townsend and all side projects, ISIS, Daughters, Pig Destroyer, Meshuggah and The Dillinger Escape Plan. I like it mathy, drony and epic.
These threads always confuse me, what do you guys define as metal?
Anything that's outside the "Alternative" section of your C.D stores?
