[tadpoleboyy]

Dethklok. haha

[JAYROD]

BWUAUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA.


Thanks..I needed a laugh....heavy metal...metallica? LOL

like 'em or not METALLICA is huge in the history of heavy metal and maybe the most important and influintal band of all time in metal. put on "lighting" or "puppets" and that IS metal. i love the new album minus the first single and love the intrumental track #9.

[BritishColumbian]

whoa, Old Thread, Black Sabbath invented Heavy Metal.

[xlxBigSexyxlx]

Grand Funk Railroad

[WOLFCRAFT]

2 years old but still a good thread.

BLACK SABBATH

They did it first. They did it best.

[RATTLEHEAD]

Iommi and Geezer are gods. no doubt. but just because they invented the genre, doesn't mean they're the greatest. I happen to believe they are the heaviest band, ever. Iommi's chord progressions are just demonic. You'd be burned at the stake if you played those chords 200 years ago. The instrumental work in Sabbath is just phenomenal. But as far as overall best heavy metal band ever, Megadeth takes the cake. Dave Mustaine made Metallica, and then created Megadeth, which is light years ahead of Metallica in every aspect of music to music theory. it's just absolutely no question, no contest. Megadeth and Sabbath are the 2 greatest heavy metal bands ever.. Iommi created Metal, Mustaine created Thrash..

[warchild]

have you seen the documentary get thrashed?

[RATTLEHEAD]

and Lemmy for President, 2012.. nobody will **** with us then.

[RATTLEHEAD]

[warchild]

i might have seen get thrashed. i always watch them VH1 specials but i dont know most of the names of the actual documentaries.

[RATTLEHEAD]

Favorite/steroidal AAS equivalence songs to work out too.. "wake up dead", "Set the world afire", "holy wars", "Ashes in your Mouth", "Regular People", "Caged in a Rage", "I'm Broken", "Children of the Grave", "Symptom of the universe", "Hit the lights", "phantom lord", "Panic Attack", "Constant Motion", and I have to throw in a little AC/DC "IF YOU WANT BLOOD" - god, Bon Scott is so ****ing iLL.

[RATTLEHEAD]

thanks man. I'll have to check that out..

[warchild]

original children of the grave or white zombies version? also, symptom of the universe by sepultura?

[Matt]

Abba.........

[rich1261]

gonna have to say pantera

[MuscleScience]

Metallica, it is scientifically proven if you dont listen to them then your a p^ssy....LOL

So I say who wants to be a p^ssy???

[DCI]

Pantera by far are the best modern metal band.
Slayer are class too.
Obituary unbelivable.

And from the originals:
Black Sabbath.
Budgie.
Led Zepplin.
AC/DC

There is more but I can't think of them.

[RATTLEHEAD]

The original Children of the grave. and the original symptom of the universe (both sabbath). Sepultura is good, but I'm not the biggest fan. BTW, whoever is a big Meshuggah fan. Check out this band "Tesseract". Its one of the most ridiculous bands i've ever heard. They basically took what Meshuggah does, and made it more ridiculous somehow.

[WOLFCRAFT]

I've seen Get Thrashed, it's ****ing awesome if you like those bands, which I do. That's the stuff I grew up on.
And while Mustaine may have invented thrash metal, I think Slayer perfected it.
Don't get me wrong I LOVE old Megadeth, but I think Slayer kicks it's ass.

[WOLFCRAFT]

Let's break it down like this...

60's/70's - Sabbath
80's - Slayer
90's - Pantera
Today - a bunch of crap

[tadpoleboyy]

is it even heavy metal anymore? Isnt the new thing nu-metal or whatever? I liked slipknot and mudvayne when the were newer and more raw, but arent they catagorized as nu-metal ? They softened up a bit, however

[dedic8ed1]

Nice,post on one of my oldest thread.

[mike954]

I agree and i like all old school metal but i love HATEBREED !! "Live For This" is the best song IMO

[ClubberLangsUncle]

Tool, is kinda like progressive metal, but no one can touch their lyrics. Maiden is amazing, even old Manson is good. Pantra is kinda repetative in there sound, and the lyrics could have been thought up by a 10 year old, but there decent. Slayer would have to be up there on the list. I have sceen Tool, Slayer, Iron Maiden, Pantera, Ozzy, System of a Down, WASP, Cannibal Corpse, White Zombie, Mettalica, and a bunch of others, nothin was as Good as Tool was live. Although the first time i saw Maiden it was close.

[RATTLEHEAD]

I like slayer riffs and their drummer, but kerry king as a soloist is just awful..

[WOLFCRAFT]

It WAS "nu-metal" now it's "metal-core".
Who gives a ****, the new Cannibal Corpse comes out Feb 3rd. That's all that matters.

[WOLFCRAFT]

I like slayer riffs and their drummer, but kerry king as a soloist is just awful..

Jeff Hanneman definitely smokes him.

[tadpoleboyy]

Anyone ever listen to sugar rays first two albums? They were kind of heavy. dont think it counts as metal though, maybe a few songs. Ever other album went soft

[RATTLEHEAD]

all i know about sugar ray is that they're l.a. guns fans... that's almost cool i guess. i can't even imagine them being heavy though lol. oh, and btw... ALICE IN CHAINS!!!

[WOLFCRAFT]

Sugar GAY!!

Sorry. Had to be said.

THANK YOU

I also feel that megadeth at their best is better than metallica at their best.


What is your favorite era of sabbath? headless cross and the dio albums are my top 3 from sabbath.

[IronReload04]

the best 3 metal bands ever? for me

1. Iron maiden
2. black sabbath ties with megadeth

thats the best that I can narrow it down to. metallica would be 4 probably




WASP is great, love listening to them too. to whoever said they saw them live

[WOLFCRAFT]

Top 3 from Sabbath would be the first 3.

The first 5 are all killers.

I'll pass on Never Say Die and any of the post-Ozzy stuff.

[DCI]

Let's break it down like this...

60's/70's - Sabbath
80's - Slayer
90's - Pantera
Today - a bunch of crap

****ing brilliant list man Completely agree. Maybe Megadeth can sqeezze next to Slayer. Metallica really have a lot of their success down to Mustaine and his influence imo. And Cliff Burton was a great loss too.

[joiningthedarkside]

kill switch engaged!!!!!!!!! what wrong with u people! panteras good too
