Six Feet Under, Amon Amarth, SLAYER, Chimaira, Anthrax, Armored Saint, Cradle of Filth, Otep, Voivod, Napalm Death, Arch Enemy, Fear Factory, Suffocation, Devildriver, Machinehead, Nile, God Forbid, Pantera, Bleeding Through, Down, Damageplan, Deicide, High On Fire, Iron Maiden, Sleep, Cathedral, Black Sabbath, Obituary, Candlemass, Entombed, Eyehategod, Fireball Ministry, Drowning Pool, the Murderdolls, Danzig, Bullet for My Valentine, Trivium, As I Lay Dying, Dry Kill Logic, Cannibal Corpse, Children of Bodom, Pelican (who friggin' rule), Testament (as Chuck Billy still rules), The Misfits (I don't really classify them as metal...although Famous Monsters was prettty metal in my opinion...but I digress), The Sword, Amorphis, Dimmu Borgir, Stamping Ground, Crisis, Grip Inc., Slipknot (but only up to Iowa), Nevermore, Godflesh, Morbid Angel, Genitorturers, D.R.I., Deadstar Assembly, Strapping Young Lad, Biohazard (although, it is restricted to the first album), Megadeth (Youthanasia and back...not a fan of their newer, less metal stuff), Dio (still the man), Manowar (stuck to the same schtick for years and you gotta admire that), Nuclear Assault, Satyricon, Death, Carcass, Demonhunter, Mastadon, Meshuggah, Zakk Wylde...

Heroes:

Mike Mignola, Bruce Timm, Paul Dini, Jackson Publick, Matt Groenig, Dave Johnson, Brian Ewing, Tex Avery, Michael Oeming, Gendy Tartakovsky
