ok, I'm slow on that count.
There's too many genre's of metal for me to name. So obviously there's no "regular" metal.
Just bands such as metallica and korn (although they're not really metal anymore are they? nu-metal last I heard. whatever.) are what I listen to.
Mainstream metal groups are basically what I've heard of. I'm not categorising metal as mainstream but as I've mentioned before the only metal is the stuff I hear on triple jjj full metal racket.
I'm just putting my foot in my mouth. Anything else I say is going to come out wrong or annoy someone.
Calm calm, don't worry about it. I just asked that question to see whether you meant regular as in 'heavy' metal because that's how everything started. Just to see if you had an idea of what genre you're after. Nowadays bands go off on different tangents to create genres of death, black, gothic, folk, symphonic progressive death, you name it lol. Personally I don't believe that some 'subgenres' should even be there but sometimes it's hard to define/describe a band without putting them into different categories.
Every band has their own thing going on, especially the newer ones, so there is no particular 'right or wrong genre' to put them in. Some sit on the boarderline of two or even three genres, like death and power gives you ... i dont' know, melodic death?
I'm happy to introduce you to different bands (I don't know a WHOLE lot but I have a dozen that I like and know enough about - in terms of their overall style through the years, etc. other bands I know songs to recommend but nothing else)
Just give me a starting point.
