Best Metal Band Ever
Jump to: Newest in thread
Always been a huge fan of glam/hair metal so for me it’s bands like Poison, Europe, Kiss, Motley Crue, Twisted Sister, Quiet Riot etc.
Never ever been into thrash at all, but I randomly saw Slayer live at Sonisphere and they were breathtaking x |

The best ever death metal band out of Denton,
Were a couple of guys who'd been friends since grade school.
One was named Cyrus, and the other was Jeff,
And they practiced twice a week in Jeff’s bedroom.
.
The best ever death metal band out of Denton,
Never settled on a name.
But the top three contenders, after weeks of debate,
Were Satan’s Fingers, and The Killers, and The Hospital Bombers.

(I know it’s not answering the question, but I saw the thread and got earwormed with this song.) |

Difficult to pick one, but in time frames..
60s led zeppelin
70s black sabbath / thin lizzy
80s guns & roses/ iron maiden
90s panetera/ megadeth / carcass / metallica /testament/ sepultura/ slayer
2000s system of a down
2010+ animals as leaders/ 12 foot ninja
My favourite metal album is probably "act 3" by death angel. Still blows me away. |

"Aren’t they more punk ? "
Probably, yeah. But getting into arguments about what’s metal and what’s not could really derail the thread. And you were already talking about hardcore. BB rocked like absolute bastards if you ask me, whatever genre you might file them under. |

"FFDP are incredible live if I was picking who I’ve seen live.
K
They're on my bucket list along with Avenged Sevenfold "
I seen A7x a few years ago on The Stage tour they were better than I expected and had the bonus of disturbed supporting them. |

I'd have to go for Maiden as I've seen them 26 times.
But... there's also Metallica (anything up to ...And Justice For All.)
I'd have to rate Megadeth higher than Metallica.
Ozzy, Motorhead, Twisted Sister, Halloween.
I once played on the same bill as Napalm Death and Extreme Noise Terror in a tiny club in Cardiff...way back in 1988 !
Slayer, AC/DC, Anthrax, Guns 'n Roses (on the albums - Axl has never been a great live singer.
Plenty more on the list. |

The answer is Metallica, Guns or Maiden. But what is “Metal”?
Over the decades it’s a genre that mutated into a gazillion sub genres that don’t resemble traditional Heavy Metal at all
Rammstein? Industrial
KoRn? - Nu Metal
Slipknot? - without the bells’n whistles? Grindcore |

Metal is the rule 34 of music genres. If it exists there's metal of it.
Goblins - Nekrogoblikon
Pirates - Alestorm
Ned Flanders from The Simpsons - Okilly Dokilly |

Incendiary are really good. Knocked loose are a strange one. Hardcore sites rip the piss out of them. UKHC is where it's at anyway. |

I can’t narrow it down below maybe 10?
Plus it depends where you start calling a band Metal… Are Def Leppard metal? Black Stone Cherry? Electric Callboy? Fall Out Boy?
On my list at the moment would be…
Iron Maiden
Metallica
Megadeth
Shinedown
Alter Bridge
BMTH
Slipknot
GnR
Motorhead
Halestorm
This is not an exhaustive list… it will change with my mood |
