Essential Metal

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

This page exists to let the MySpace Hard Rock and Metal fans know about my web site EssentialMetal.com and to get all of the bands that I like and support together on 1 MySpace page. I only add bands / solo artists that I like and not other people so there will not be thousands of "friends" to look through to find bands you are interested in. The main purpose of my EssentialMetal.com site is to let people know about New and Upcoming CD and DVD release dates. I have one of the most accurate and complete release pages on the net for hard rock and most genres of metal except death and black metal.I also have a cd store on the site. I don't stock much but can special order most anything. And I sell for less than most other on line sites because this is not my job and I have no overhead. If you don't need the cds right away I can save you some money. If you want to know more about me, click on Scot - 2 in the Friend Space. Check out the Essential 80's page where you will find all of the hard rock and metal bands that released their best albums during the 80's up until 198012 (1992)...This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Hard Rock and Metal fans. Especially those who have large music collections! However, as mentioned above, I am only adding bands to this page. If you are a serious True Metal Fan, go to that page and I will add you there. I am NOT adding bands to that page though! Scot

Music:

Click on the CD List link on my site to see my CD collection. Basically I like Traditional Metal, Power Metal, Progressive Metal and Thrash. I also listen to some Doom Metal, Melodic Death Metal (Swedish bands), Hardcore and some of the New American Metal bands. And of course being 39, I grew up listening to all of the 80's "hair bands" and still like a lot of them. I don't like black metal or extreme death metal.

Books:

Rockdetector books: A-Z of Power Metal, A-Z of Thrash Metal, A-Z of Doom, Gothic & Stoner Metal, A-Z of '80's Rock. The Collector's Guide To Heavy Metal, The Top 500 Metal Albums of All Time, The Top 500 Heavy Metal Songs of All Time, The Complete Headbanging History of Heavy Metal, The Encyclopedia of Heavy Metal, 20th Century Rock And Roll - Heavy Metal.
