Plain and simple, what is your top ten since 2000

Heres mine, and i tried to not put classic bands onto the list, lol we all know slayer, maiden, death, etc are super great haha

1. Lamb of God - Groovy thrashy politcal metal band who refuses to sell out despite success, my top pick for number 1 spot

2. Mastodon- Newer band that is absolutely fantastic

3. Children of Bodom- They have been around awhile, but has been fantastic last 11yrs

4. Between the Buried and Me- metalcore/prog band that just keeps getting better

5. System of a Down- an original band that has broken up (super sad face)

6. Opeth- Prog death metal? lol great band and very original that has come along the last 11 yrs

7. As I lay dying- another consistent and talented metal/metal-core group

8. Amon Amarth- Swedish viking death metal machine, huge underground success

9. The Faceless- only have 2 albums, but crazy talent, sickkkk band

10. Machine Head- The blackening is one of the best albums of the last decade

Obviously I'm sure i missed some great bands and this list is biased towards my musical tastes, but these bands have make huge impacts on the metal scene since 2000. And i did leave out those metal bands that have been around forever and are obviously great haha. I did leave off many commercially successful bands like A7X slipknot atreyu etc because they simply are better at selling records than making music, and i think they suck hahaha.

4. Kiss

I'm a 19 year old in college and currently trying to kill off my freshman weight gain. I'm about 5'11 and 225 but i can bench my body weight lol. I'm trying to get a balance of cardio to burn off my extra fat (alcohol is bad) and also lifting weight because i like to lift and i wanna build muscle strength/mass

Any suggestions on how to balance these, i dont wanna kill myself on cardio and lose strength but i dont wanna get bulky and be fat and outta shape. Any suggestions?

For what ever reason some people are under the delusion that the Christian beliefs/values, People who say they are Christians, and Organized Christian Religion are all the same seem. I don't know why these very different things have been merged together in some peoples minds.

Just because a church or a Christian said or did something bad doesnt mean it is part of the teachings of Christ. These are very different things. People who say they are Christians are still people and very imperfect and in some cases, bad, selfish people. Churches can be the same way.

What im getting at is that when you criticize, i think you should criticize the people/organizations who are being bad and not the Christian beliefs that they "claim" to be adhereing too.

I mean im all for healthy debate and sharing of ideas between all peoples and i try not to generalism others and i do try to respect others so idk why this occurs. Any ideas? thoughts? Perspectives?

There new album comes out in september and i listened to some of the singles and im honestly impressed. I expected a half assed album but it seems even without layne they have made some quality stuff. Any thoughts?

cause i got people blast on cod4 and its annoying

If all life is sacred then why would you start making exceptions? I also find that many fellow Christians support pro life and death penalty, why is this, we have no right to judge if we believe we are all sinners. Are you sure you are thinking about what you believe or just blindly accepting?

kurt cobain or eddie vedder

Layne staley or cobain

kirk hammet or dave mustaine

hendrix or paige

Metallica or megadeth

slayer or venom

SOAD or slipknott

acdc or van halen

disturbed or godsmack

opeth or sepultura

Stone temple pilots or smashing pumpkins

alice in chains or nirvana

sublime or slightly stoopid

and lastly, which jonas brother would you kill first? haha

I had some minor bleeding for about 2 weeks then it went away but now its bleeding again. The opening is right near the end of my tailbone but not on the anus. Its really quite embarassing and im not sure what to do. Any advice?

Tell me your thoughts on this perspective.

Atheism: The belief that there was nothing and nothing happened to nothing and then nothing somehow exploded for no reason, creating everything and then a bunch of everything somehow rearranged itself for no reason what so ever into self replicating bits that then turned into dinosaurs. Makes perfect sence

Although that is originally meant to be humorous, it does raise a valid point. Most Atheists praise there logic and say that the idea of God doesn't make sense and isn't logical. But from this perspective it seems the other way around. I'm not trying to hate on anyone or asking people conform to my beliefs, i'm just asking everyone to consider a different perspective because i believe thinking with an open mind is truly important to developing yourself as a person.

I'm trying to get a job there soon but my friend from out of town's coming and we might be smoking.

what do you think about the fact that governments that tried to eliminate belief in God and believed it to be "bad" killed over 100 million of there own citizens in the last 100 years?
