best metal bands??

[callen3615]

I'm just curious what people think. I'm thinking maiden, priest, metallica, megadeth, sabbath, pantera, anthrax, g&r... something like that. I'm almost positive that i misses some tho.

SLAYER

Sepultura, Randy Rhoads era Ozzy.

This thread is going to get ugly quick. As soon as someone mentions Disturbed or Limp Biscuit or something

[mi2tom]

DREAMTHEATER!!!! And Spiral architect!!!

[CalledToArms]

this is way too broad. Might have to limit it to the past 10ish years or so for me. I think all the old school metal bands will be highly documented by the rest of you.

[Lefty Robb]

Nevermore, Opeth, Strapping Young lad, Symphony X, Circus Maximus, Pagan's Mind, Necrophagist, Dying Fetus, man I could go on and on..

[Gurj]

Apart from a lot of the bands already mentioned, I also like Machine Head, Maiden, Mastodon, Killswitch Engage, SOAD and I'll probably get flamed for this, I've even grown to like some Slipknot!

[callen3615]

yeah this was 100 percent arbitrary!

[DavyH]

ABBA, Bucks Fizz, Celine Dion....

Oh, did you say 'metal'?

Disturbed and Limp Biscuit!!!!!





(I just wanted it to get interesting and beside.....the op said g&r which are nothing to do with metal or decent music )

[andy7jem]

More seriously...i gotta go with 'cid here!!!

SLAYER!!!!!!!!!

Despite so many other bands watering down over the years Slayer are still as brutal as ever with no signs of letting up!!!!!

As some peoples idea of "metal" varies and some not strictly metal bands have been mentioned......i'm gonna pick Racer X too

I have to give a shout for Nile too!!!!! Makes Slayer seem apt for a childrens tea party Well.....not quite

Machine Head i was thinking about today funnily!!!! I love there first two albums and the newest one, but the others lacked seriously IMO!!! You could probably make one decent album from the best of them maybe

[freedom's door]

Racer X
Chastain
Maiden
Loudness
Testament
Megadeth
Metallica (pre Black Album)

Don't listen to much newer metal, although i like Fear Factory if they're considered metal....
