I love old school metal, like metallica, megadeth, and black sabbath, i dont listen to much new stuff for i cant stand it. most of the time i just listen to my , cds, And then when i do turn on the radeo and listen to what is new i cant stand what i am hearing. I have just recently started listening to more progessive metal like dream theater. i feel like i am stuck in what to listen too. NEED HELP!

Theres music out there of every flavor and tons that match what sounds best to your ears, but you need to delve deeper with your research then just trying to find songs that the mainstream media force feed you by playing every hour on the radio. Alot of power metal bands take the sound of early metallica and iron maiden and put it on steroids. Sense you say you like Dream Theater, I think you may like some progressive power metal. A few bands to get you started off the top of my head are:

Kamelot
Blind Gaurdian
Adagio
Dragonforce
Rage
Sentenced
Edguy
Mercenary (definitly check these guys out, very under rated)

If you want something with less melody and more balls, heres a couple of the best

Protest the Hero - Im begining to sound like a fanboy but these guys deserve it, f'n crazy guitar skills
Nevermore - This Godless Endeavor
Machine Head - The Blackening
Lamb of God - Ashes of the Wake
Unearth- The Oncoming Storm ( Their newest one kicks tail also)
The Human Abstract- Nocturne
Children of Bodom- Will either inspire you or depress the hell out of you because their so good
Between the Buried and Me - Colors
Avenged Sevenfold - Waking the Fallen (yeah I know, mainstream blah blah blah, this cd rocks, end of story)
Shadows Fall- Pretty much anything, these guys shred
Everytime I Die
Mastodon- Blood Mountain and Leviathon especially

Theres a whole lot of underground bands that I could list, but this is sort of metal 101 and I want you to try and find your own list of music you enjoy. Nothing happened to metal, its just not the most marketable music at the moment so it doesnt get as much exposure as the same sound garden and pearl jam songs a hundred times a day. You have to find it on your own, but honestly that half the fun haha. The internet is a wonderful tool. Happy Hunting !
