With that said, I STRONGLY reccomend picking up some of Iced Earth's stuff, especially Days of Purgatory. If you've never heard them, prepare to be blown away and dazzled at the speed, complexity, melody, and power of their music (they DEFINITELY aren't "nu-metal", this stuff is pure "true" metal, not death or black either). Not the shreddiest stuff solo-wise, but not exactly shabby either.

Blah, blah, blah. I'm sick of seeing classic rock worship. I don't have a problem with the stuff, but it's not that great. Move on, look for new bands, expand your horizons. "Metal" has come a LONG way (I hardly consider Zeppelin metal, by the way) since it's beginnings.
