5 Greatest Metal Bands

Can we debate that Van Halen was never hair metal?

Of course Van Halen was never a hair metal band. You have to be merry to be a hair band.

Allright Allright. I know I was a little aggressive towards hair metal. I was sorta in a bad mood at the time trying to get my freaking Avatar to show up. But as I said earlier, not all hair metal is bad. And yes, Van Halen did turn a little Top 40. I mean for God's sake, Eddie did the friggin' solo for Beat It. But guys cool down. Anyway man, about what somebody (I forget who it was) said that the first 5 were the best. Sorry, but the order it's in is the order of bests for me. But grats on Maiden being higher than anyone else (whoch suprises me because on the internet EVERYBODY likes Metallica best). But anyways, sorry.



HOLY CRAP VIKINGS! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

You'll soon learn that this isn't the internet, but is in fact The Heart Of Metal!

OK, ya, I guess Slipknot's okay, but Incubus is not metal. Incubus is Alt. I also forgot Nine Inch Nails and System of a Down. Sorry everybody!

You suck at this.

Black Sabbath
Metallica
Iron Maiden
Slayer
Pantera

I voted the same. (out of that list)

Don't know about the best (after all, it's relative to one's own taste) but of those these are my favorite 5:

1. Iron Maiden
2. Judas Preist
3. pre-Load Metallica
4. Symphony X
5. Dream Theater (at one time they would have been #2 here but times have changed-though I have finally warmed up to Systematic Chaos)

They are not listed but Savatage is a close second to Maiden (although for me nobody will probably ever top Maiden).

5 greatest is very easy for me...

Judas Priest
Motorhead
Slayer
Celtic Frost
Morbid Angel

Black Sabbath
Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
Metallica
Pantera

Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
Megadeth
Motörhead
Slayer

Dream Theatre is definately on the top of that list followed by metallica, slayer, cannibal corpse and judas priest for good measure. Petrucci is a genius. Too bad Mastadon wasnt on that list...

Pink Cream 69
KMFDM
Sabaton
Silent Force
Ministry

Ya know, I've only noticed now that I've only put 14 bands down.
My 15th would be Nine Inch Nails.

Deep Purple is better than 98% of the music out there. I'm with you, SAHB.

AMEN to that!


From the list:
Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
Black Sabbath
Metallica (on early works alone)
Megadeth

never have even tried to go at this because there is usually two or three of the following and a few others according to personal preference

pantera
iron maiden
black sabbeth
metallica
Judas Priest

not my favorites by the way(well not all of them)

EDIT:how could I forget Judas Priest

1. Metallica (Love or hate 'em they seem to bring a lot of discussion to the table)
2. Judas Priest (Rob, K.K & Glenn, enough said...oh and longevity)
3. Megadeth (This was the reason the Metal Gods ousted Dave from Metallica)
4. Anthrax (One usually can't say this about a band when they just announced their 4th lead singer!)
5. Black Sabbath (Some great lead vocals from the likes of the Oz man, Dio, Gillan, & Hughes) Ozzy & Dio have had unbelievable solo careers since, what else is there to say?

From the list....Sabbath, Maiden, Priest, Megadeth, Anthrax
I disclude Metallica due to the FACT that they have released more crap than quality....

In my mind....

I'll add Savatage, Armored Saint, Tourniquet, and Scorpions

Wow, why'd this thread get buried in RIP so quick? Or was it started here?

Priest
Metallica
Megadeth
Judas Priest
Iron Maiden

In no set order.

Where is Accept on this list?

Iron Maiden / Black Sabbath
Dio
Testament/ Kreator/ Slayer ( first 5 )
Deep Purple
Morbid Angel
Metallica ( pre Black ) / Megadeth
Motorhead / Judas Priest
