Out of everything I've heard so far ATH-AD2000 tops the list.

For rock music Ultrasone E9 are better than Grado RS-1 and GS-1000. More powerful. However GS-1000 with Black Dragon are only a bit behind. ATH L3000 and PS-1 I have never heard. But AKG K1000 could show you many new aspects – fantastic soundstage and inner space of sound, phenomenal naturalness and instruments separation, and even better, i.e. more natural, bass. They are generally more powerful than E9. That is only a matter of amplification, unfortunately very hard indeed.

To my opinion, only E9 from the list suit the term "rock headphones" well. I've never listened to ATH-L3000, but I suppose them to be quite similar to W5000, just being greater in every single aspect. So they are the best for classical, not for metal.
Denon AH-D5000 are great for heavy music, and I think D7000 will be even better. Beyerdynamic DT880 Pro quite cool also. Anyway, Edition 9 must be the best of this all, because they are in different category.

325is with a good amp and source.
Seriously, I was just listening to some classic Iron Maiden last night. Phenomenal.
(It was "Number of the Beast", if anyone's interested.

Do these have very hard impacting bass that can be felt and get your toes tapping?
If so then what about the ad900s and ad1000s. I don't know if I can afford the ad2000.

The AD2000 is to my ears not a bassy headphone. The quality of the bass is excellent, but there is not a lot of it.
It does however get my toes tapping
