Hi friends! The Fan Favorites channel over on our Discord is live and ready for your submissions for the May 2025 episode of Fan Favorites! 

REMEMBER: Fan Favorites submissions are ONLY accepted via our Fan Favorites channel on The Daily Doug Discord. Any recommendations made in comments here will not be considered.

This Month’s Theme: Metal May, Vol. II

Metal fans, I enjoyed Metal May so much last year, we’re doing it again! I am looking for your favorite metal songs that I have not yet featured on any of my YouTube or Patreon videos. I know that there are worthy metal bands and songs that I’ve overlooked, and I need your help to expand my metal horizons. Can’t wait to hear your favorite metal songs!

Please note: If there’s a question as to whether or not a submission qualifies as being a metal song, either Meg, one of our Moderators, or I myself will consult Wikipedia and AllMusic to verify the song and band’s/artist’s musical genre(s).

🚨THIS IS THE FORMAT/TEMPLATE FOR A COMPLETE SUBMISSION IN THE #FAN-FAVORITES CHANNEL ON THE DAILY DOUG DISCORD:

.suggest title of song/piece, name of composer/band, YouTube link, and a short backstory (optional)

Example submission:

`.suggest “Enter Sandman” Metallica, https://youtu.be/CD-E-LDc384?si=LsuLLRRIYdOeHYXR. It’s a classic.`
