I am a metal head...as is my fiancee...here is a list of our favorite bands, most of whom we have seen live at one point or another:
Metallica, Korn, Dream Theater, Tool, Slipknot, Mudvayne, Staind, GnR, Alice in Chains, Lacuna Coil, Symphony X, Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, Disturbed, Type O Negative, Soundgarden, Black Label Society, Shinedown, Stone Sour, Faith No More, Velvet Revolver, Stone Temple Pilots, Iron Maiden, Kings X, Queen, Queensryche, Aerosmith, Rammstein, Led Zeppelin, Audioslave, Van Halen, POD, Deftones, etc.
Our wedding is in September, and we want to have our first dance be from a metal band...problem is, not many metal bands go the acoustic or ballad route...except for perhaps the big haired eighties metal bands, and their songs are a somewhat cliche...there will be no Poison, Warrant, Nelson, Extreme or Winger at the wedding, although I ashamed to say I do have some of those albums
Aerosmith might be the obvious choice, but even their love songs are a bit over played and mainstream.
A few songs we like, but the lyrics screw things up:
"Vermilion: Part 2" by Slipknot - a beautiful acoustic song from what is otherwise an extremely heavy band, but the lyrics seem to suggest a tormented stalker scenario.
"So Far Away" by Staind - most Staind songs are about Aaron Lewis' struggles with addiction and depression, and subsequent recover. This song in particular, while a bit more positive, still isn't a "love" song per say.
So given our musical tastes from the band list above, and the need for a slow song we can dance to, any suggestions? A lot of bands sometimes do obscure covers, radio station acoustic sessions or other songs that, while not officially released on an album, might answer the mail for what we need. We are getting a bit burned out on scanning through iTunes listings and message boards for the right mix of song tempo and lyrics, but from a band that reflects our musical tastes.
However, once the old folks call it a night, and our friends are nice and wasted, we plan on getting the mosh pit started. :evil:
